public abstract class VisitorDataHandler extends Object
A data handler is a class that handles responses from a visitor. Different clients might want different interfaces. Some might want a callback interface, some might want a polling interface. Some want good control of acking, while others just want something simple.

Use a data handler that fits your needs to be able to use visiting easily.

      public VisitorDataHandler()
      Creates a new visitor data handler.

  • Method Details

    • reset

      public void reset()
      Called before the visitor starts. Override this method if you need to reset local data. Remember to call the superclass' method as well.

    • setSession

      public void setSession(VisitorControlSession session)
      Sets which session this visitor data handler belongs to. This is done by the session itself and should not be called manually. The session is needed for ack to work.
      Parameters:
      session - the session currently using this data handler

    • getNext

      public VisitorResponse getNext()
      Returns the next response of this session. This method returns immediately.
      Returns:
      the next response, or null if no response is ready at this time
      Throws:
      UnsupportedOperationException - if data handler does not support the operation

    • getNext

      public VisitorResponse getNext(int timeoutMilliseconds) throws InterruptedException
      Returns the next response of this session. This will block until a response is ready or the given timeout is reached.
      Parameters:
      timeoutMilliseconds - the max time to wait for a response. If the number is 0, this will block without any timeout limit
      Returns:
      the next response, or null if no response becomes ready before the timeout expires
      Throws:
      InterruptedException - if this thread is interrupted while waiting
      UnsupportedOperationException - if data handler does not support the operation

    • onDone

      public void onDone()
      Called when visiting is done, to notify clients waiting on getNext().

    • onMessage

      public abstract void onMessage(com.yahoo.messagebus.Message m, AckToken token)
      Called when a data message is received. IMPORTANT: May be called concurrently from multiple threads. Any internal state mutations MUST be done in a thread-safe manner.
      Parameters:
      m - The message received
      token - A token to reply with when finished processing the message.

    • ack

      public void ack(AckToken token)
      Function used to ack data. You need to ack data periodically, as storage will halt visiting when it has too much client requests pending.
      Parameters:
      token - The token to ack. Gotten from an earlier callback.
