Method Detail

delegate

protected abstract @NonNull DOMDataTreeWriteTransaction delegate()

Specified by:

delegate in class com.google.common.collect.ForwardingObject

getIdentifier

public Object getIdentifier()

Specified by:

getIdentifier in interface org.opendaylight.yangtools.concepts.Identifiable<Object>

put

public void put(LogicalDatastoreType store,
                org.opendaylight.yangtools.yang.data.api.YangInstanceIdentifier path,
                org.opendaylight.yangtools.yang.data.api.schema.NormalizedNode<?,?> data)

Description copied from interface: DOMDataTreeWriteOperations

Stores a piece of data at the specified path. This acts as an add / replace operation, which is to say that whole subtree will be replaced by the specified data.

If you need to make sure that a parent object exists but you do not want modify its pre-existing state by using put, consider using DOMDataTreeWriteOperations.merge(org.opendaylight.mdsal.common.api.LogicalDatastoreType, org.opendaylight.yangtools.yang.data.api.YangInstanceIdentifier, org.opendaylight.yangtools.yang.data.api.schema.NormalizedNode<?, ?>) instead.

Specified by:

put in interface DOMDataTreeWriteOperations

Parameters:

store - the logical data store which should be modified

path - the data object path

data - the data object to be written to the specified path

merge

public void merge(LogicalDatastoreType store,
                  org.opendaylight.yangtools.yang.data.api.YangInstanceIdentifier path,
                  org.opendaylight.yangtools.yang.data.api.schema.NormalizedNode<?,?> data)

Description copied from interface: DOMDataTreeWriteOperations

Merges a piece of data with the existing data at a specified path. Any pre-existing data which is not explicitly overwritten will be preserved. This means that if you store a container, its child lists will be merged.

If you require an explicit replace operation, use DOMDataTreeWriteOperations.put(org.opendaylight.mdsal.common.api.LogicalDatastoreType, org.opendaylight.yangtools.yang.data.api.YangInstanceIdentifier, org.opendaylight.yangtools.yang.data.api.schema.NormalizedNode<?, ?>) instead.

Specified by:

merge in interface DOMDataTreeWriteOperations

Parameters:

store - the logical data store which should be modified

path - the data object path

data - the data object to be merged to the specified path

cancel

public boolean cancel()

Description copied from interface: DOMDataTreeWriteTransaction

Cancels the transaction. Transactions can only be cancelled if it was not yet committed. Invoking cancel() on failed or already canceled will have no effect, and transaction is considered cancelled. Invoking cancel() on finished transaction (future returned by DOMDataTreeWriteTransaction.commit() already successfully completed) will always fail (return false).

Specified by:

cancel in interface DOMDataTreeWriteTransaction

Returns:

false if the task could not be cancelled, typically because it has already completed normally; true otherwise

delete

public void delete(LogicalDatastoreType store,
                   org.opendaylight.yangtools.yang.data.api.YangInstanceIdentifier path)

Description copied from interface: DOMDataTreeWriteOperations

Removes a piece of data from specified path. This operation does not fail if the specified path does not exist.

Specified by:

delete in interface DOMDataTreeWriteOperations

Parameters:

store - Logical data store which should be modified

path - Data object path

commit

public com.google.common.util.concurrent.FluentFuture<? extends CommitInfo> commit()

Description copied from interface: DOMDataTreeWriteTransaction

Commits this transaction to be asynchronously applied to update the logical data tree. The returned FluentFuture conveys the result of applying the data changes.

This call logically seals the transaction, which prevents the client from further changing the data tree using this transaction. Any subsequent calls to put(LogicalDatastoreType, Path, Object), merge(LogicalDatastoreType, Path, Object), delete(LogicalDatastoreType, Path) will fail with IllegalStateException. The transaction is marked as committed and enqueued into the data store back-end for processing.

Whether or not the commit is successful is determined by versioning of the data tree and validation of registered commit participants if the transaction changes the data tree.

The effects of a successful commit of data depends on listeners and commit participants that are registered with the data broker.

Example usage:

  private void doWrite(final int tries) {
      WriteTransaction writeTx = dataBroker.newWriteOnlyTransaction();
      MyDataObject data = ...;
      InstanceIdentifier<MyDataObject> path = ...;
      writeTx.put(LogicalDatastoreType.OPERATIONAL, path, data);
      Futures.addCallback(writeTx.commit(), new FutureCallback<CommitInfo>() {
          public void onSuccess(CommitInfo result) {
              // succeeded
          }
          public void onFailure(Throwable t) {
              if (t instanceof OptimisticLockFailedException) {
                  if(( tries - 1) > 0 ) {
                      // do retry
                      doWrite(tries - 1);
                  } else {
                      // out of retries
                  }
              } else {
                  // failed due to another type of TransactionCommitFailedException.
              }
          });
 }
 ...
 doWrite(2);
 

Failure scenarios

Transaction may fail because of multiple reasons, such as

• Another transaction finished earlier and modified the same node in a non-compatible way (see below). In this case the returned future will fail with an OptimisticLockFailedException. It is the responsibility of the caller to create a new transaction and commit the same modification again in order to update data tree. Warning: In most cases, retrying after an OptimisticLockFailedException will result in a high probability of success. However, there are scenarios, albeit unusual, where any number of retries will not succeed. Therefore it is strongly recommended to limit the number of retries (2 or 3) to avoid an endless loop.
• Data change introduced by this transaction did not pass validation by commit handlers or data was incorrectly structured. Returned future will fail with a DataValidationFailedException. User should not retry to create new transaction with same data, since it probably will fail again.

Change compatibility

There are several sets of changes which could be considered incompatible between two transactions which are derived from same initial state. Rules for conflict detection applies recursively for each subtree level.

Change compatibility of leafs, leaf-list items

Following table shows state changes and failures between two concurrent transactions, which are based on same initial state, Tx 1 completes successfully before Tx 2 is committed.

Initial state	Tx 1	Tx 2	Result
Empty	put(A,1)	put(A,2)	Tx 2 will fail, state is A=1
Empty	put(A,1)	merge(A,2)	A=2
Empty	merge(A,1)	put(A,2)	Tx 2 will fail, state is A=1
Empty	merge(A,1)	merge(A,2)	A=2
A=0	put(A,1)	put(A,2)	Tx 2 will fail, A=1
A=0	put(A,1)	merge(A,2)	A=2
A=0	merge(A,1)	put(A,2)	Tx 2 will fail, A=1
A=0	merge(A,1)	merge(A,2)	A=2
A=0	delete(A)	put(A,2)	Tx 2 will fail, A does not exists
A=0	delete(A)	merge(A,2)	A=2

Examples of failure scenarios

Conflict of two transactions

This example illustrates two concurrent transactions, which derived from same initial state of data tree and proposes conflicting modifications.

 txA = broker.newWriteTransaction(); // allocates new transaction, data tree is empty
 txB = broker.newWriteTransaction(); // allocates new transaction, data tree is empty
 txA.put(CONFIGURATION, PATH, A);    // writes to PATH value A
 txB.put(CONFIGURATION, PATH, B)     // writes to PATH value B
 ListenableFuture futureA = txA.commit(); // transaction A is sealed and committed
 ListenebleFuture futureB = txB.commit(); // transaction B is sealed and committed
 

Commit of transaction A will be processed asynchronously and data tree will be updated to contain value A for PATH. Returned FluentFuture will successfully complete once state is applied to data tree. Commit of Transaction B will fail, because previous transaction also modified path in a concurrent way. The state introduced by transaction B will not be applied. Returned FluentFuture object will fail with OptimisticLockFailedException exception, which indicates to client that concurrent transaction prevented the committed transaction from being applied.

A successful commit produces implementation-specific CommitInfo structure, which is used to communicate post-condition information to the caller. Such information can contain commit-id, timing information or any other information the implementation wishes to share.

Specified by:

commit in interface DOMDataTreeWriteTransaction

Returns:

a FluentFuture containing the result of the commit information. The Future blocks until the commit operation is complete. A successful commit returns nothing. On failure, the Future will fail with a TransactionCommitFailedException or an exception derived from TransactionCommitFailedException.
