Class RefTreeDatabase


  • public class RefTreeDatabase
    extends RefDatabase
    Reference database backed by a RefTree.

    The storage for RefTreeDatabase has two parts. The main part is a native Git tree object stored under the refs/txn namespace. To avoid cycles, references to refs/txn are not stored in that tree object, but instead in a "bootstrap" layer, which is a separate RefDatabase such as RefDirectory using local reference files inside of $GIT_DIR/refs.

    • Method Detail

      • getTxnCommitted

        public String getTxnCommitted()
        Get name of bootstrap reference anchoring committed RefTree.
        Returns:
        name of bootstrap reference anchoring committed RefTree.
      • getTxnNamespace

        @Nullable
        public String getTxnNamespace()
        Get namespace used by bootstrap layer.
        Returns:
        namespace used by bootstrap layer, e.g. refs/txn/. Always ends in '/'.
      • create

        public void create()
                    throws IOException
        Initialize a new reference database at this location.
        Specified by:
        create in class RefDatabase
        Throws:
        IOException - the database could not be created.
      • performsAtomicTransactions

        public boolean performsAtomicTransactions()
        Whether the database is capable of performing batch updates as atomic transactions.

        If true, by default BatchRefUpdate instances will perform updates atomically, meaning either all updates will succeed, or all updates will fail. It is still possible to turn off this behavior on a per-batch basis by calling update.setAtomic(false).

        If false, BatchRefUpdate instances will never perform updates atomically, and calling update.setAtomic(true) will cause the entire batch to fail with REJECTED_OTHER_REASON.

        This definition of atomicity is stronger than what is provided by ReceivePack. ReceivePack will attempt to reject all commands if it knows in advance some commands may fail, even if the storage layer does not support atomic transactions. Here, atomicity applies even in the case of unforeseeable errors.

        Overrides:
        performsAtomicTransactions in class RefDatabase
        Returns:
        whether transactions are atomic by default.
      • refresh

        public void refresh()
        Triggers a refresh of all internal data structures.

        In case the RefDatabase implementation has internal caches this method will trigger that all these caches are cleared.

        Implementors should overwrite this method if they use any kind of caches.

        Overrides:
        refresh in class RefDatabase
      • close

        public void close()
        Close any resources held by this database.
        Specified by:
        close in class RefDatabase
      • getRefs

        public Map<String,​Ref> getRefs​(String prefix)
                                      throws IOException
        Get a section of the reference namespace.
        Specified by:
        getRefs in class RefDatabase
        Parameters:
        prefix - prefix to search the namespace with; must end with /. If the empty string (RefDatabase.ALL), obtain a complete snapshot of all references.
        Returns:
        modifiable map that is a complete snapshot of the current reference namespace, with prefix removed from the start of each key. The map can be an unsorted map.
        Throws:
        IOException - the reference space cannot be accessed.
      • peel

        public Ref peel​(Ref ref)
                 throws IOException
        Peel a possibly unpeeled reference by traversing the annotated tags.

        If the reference cannot be peeled (as it does not refer to an annotated tag) the peeled id stays null, but Ref.isPeeled() will be true.

        Implementors should check Ref.isPeeled() before performing any additional work effort.

        Specified by:
        peel in class RefDatabase
        Parameters:
        ref - The reference to peel
        Returns:
        ref if ref.isPeeled() is true; otherwise a new Ref object representing the same data as Ref, but isPeeled() will be true and getPeeledObjectId() will contain the peeled object (or null).
        Throws:
        IOException - the reference space or object space cannot be accessed.
      • isNameConflicting

        public boolean isNameConflicting​(String name)
                                  throws IOException
        Determine if a proposed reference name overlaps with an existing one.

        Reference names use '/' as a component separator, and may be stored in a hierarchical storage such as a directory on the local filesystem.

        If the reference "refs/heads/foo" exists then "refs/heads/foo/bar" must not exist, as a reference cannot have a value and also be a container for other references at the same time.

        If the reference "refs/heads/foo/bar" exists than the reference "refs/heads/foo" cannot exist, for the same reason.

        Specified by:
        isNameConflicting in class RefDatabase
        Parameters:
        name - proposed name.
        Returns:
        true if the name overlaps with an existing reference; false if using this name right now would be safe.
        Throws:
        IOException - the database could not be read to check for conflicts.

        RefDatabase.getConflictingNames(String)
      • newBatchUpdate

        public BatchRefUpdate newBatchUpdate()
        Create a new batch update to attempt on this database.

        The default implementation performs a sequential update of each command.

        Overrides:
        newBatchUpdate in class RefDatabase
        Returns:
        a new batch update object.
      • newUpdate

        public RefUpdate newUpdate​(String name,
                                   boolean detach)
                            throws IOException
        Create a new update command to create, modify or delete a reference.
        Specified by:
        newUpdate in class RefDatabase
        Parameters:
        name - the name of the reference.
        detach - if true and name is currently a SymbolicRef, the update will replace it with an ObjectIdRef. Otherwise, the update will recursively traverse SymbolicRefs and operate on the leaf ObjectIdRef.
        Returns:
        a new update for the requested name; never null.
        Throws:
        IOException - the reference space cannot be accessed.
      • newRename

        public RefRename newRename​(String fromName,
                                   String toName)
                            throws IOException
        Create a new update command to rename a reference.
        Specified by:
        newRename in class RefDatabase
        Parameters:
        fromName - name of reference to rename from
        toName - name of reference to rename to
        Returns:
        an update command that knows how to rename a branch to another.
        Throws:
        IOException - the reference space cannot be accessed.
