public class PersistentNode
extends org.gcube.data.trees.data.InnerNode

An InnerNode with persistent state.

Persistent nodes load their state on demand, i.e. when access is required. This optimises partial tree traversals, such as those performed to prune the results of read operations or to update trees in place.

Persistent nodes that are created in READ mode, do not persist state changes. Those that are created in UPDATE mode do. This side-effect is visible to clients to the extent that new nodes acquire identifiers. The following example captures the implications:

 PersistentNode node =..
 Edge e = ....
 node.add(e);
 assertFalse(node.remove(e));

Constructor Detail

PersistentNode

public PersistentNode(org.neo4j.graphdb.GraphDatabaseService db,
                      org.gcube.data.trees.data.InnerNode node)
               throws IllegalArgumentException

Creates an instance in BindingMode.ADD that persists an InnerNode, assigning an identifier to it and its descendants.

This works as a copy constructor with side-effects in the database. As it clones the node in memory, it also serialises its state in the database.

Parameters:

the - database

node - the node

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the input has already an identifier.

PersistentNode

public PersistentNode(org.neo4j.graphdb.GraphDatabaseService db,
                      org.neo4j.graphdb.Node dbnode,
                      BindingMode mode)

Creates an instance over a database node, in a given binding mode.

Parameters:

db - the database

dbnode - the database node

mode - the binding mode

Method Detail
