Method Detail

setCurrentKey

void setCurrentKey(K newKey)

Sets the current key that is used for partitioned state.

Parameters:

newKey - The new current key.

getOrCreateKeyedState

<N,S extends State,T> S getOrCreateKeyedState(TypeSerializer<N> namespaceSerializer,
                                            StateDescriptor<S,T> stateDescriptor)
                                      throws Exception

Creates or retrieves a keyed state backed by this state backend.

Type Parameters:

N - The type of the namespace.

S - The type of the state.

Parameters:

namespaceSerializer - The serializer used for the namespace type of the state

stateDescriptor - The identifier for the state. This contains name and can create a default state value.

Returns:

A new key/value state backed by this backend.

Throws:

Exception - Exceptions may occur during initialization of the state and should be forwarded.

getPartitionedState

<N,S extends State> S getPartitionedState(N namespace,
                                        TypeSerializer<N> namespaceSerializer,
                                        StateDescriptor<S,?> stateDescriptor)
                                    throws Exception

Creates or retrieves a partitioned state backed by this state backend. TODO: NOTE: This method does a lot of work caching / retrieving states just to update the namespace. This method should be removed for the sake of namespaces being lazily fetched from the keyed state backend, or being set on the state directly.

Type Parameters:

N - The type of the namespace.

S - The type of the state.

Parameters:

stateDescriptor - The identifier for the state. This contains name and can create a default state value.

Returns:

A new key/value state backed by this backend.

Throws:

Exception - Exceptions may occur during initialization of the state and should be forwarded.

dispose

void dispose()

Closes the backend and releases all resources.
