public abstract class RrdBackend extends Object
RrdDb
object) is backed with a single RrdBackend object which performs
actual I/O operations on the underlying storage. Rrd4j supports
multiple backends out of the box. E.g.:
RrdRandomAccessFileBackend
: objects of this class are created from the
RrdRandomAccessFileBackendFactory
class. This was the default backend used in all
Rrd4j releases prior to 1.4.0. It uses java.io.* package and
RandomAccessFile class to store RRD data in files on the disk.
RrdNioBackend
: objects of this class are created from the
RrdNioBackendFactory
class. The backend uses java.io.* and java.nio.*
classes (mapped ByteBuffer) to store RRD data in files on the disk. This backend is fast, very fast,
but consumes a lot of memory (borrowed not from the JVM but from the underlying operating system
directly). This is the default backend used in Rrd4j since 1.4.0 release.
RrdMemoryBackend
: objects of this class are created from the
RrdMemoryBackendFactory
class. This backend stores all data in memory. Once
JVM exits, all data gets lost. The backend is extremely fast and memory hungry.

void |
close()
Closes the underlying backend.
|
abstract long |
getLength()
Returns the number of RRD bytes in the underlying storage.
|

getPath()
Returns path to the storage.

isCachingAllowed()
This method suggests the caching policy to the Rrd4j frontend (high-level) classes.

read(long offset,
byte[] b)
Reads an array of bytes from the underlying storage starting from the given
storage offset.
|
byte[] |
readAll()
Reads all RRD bytes from the underlying storage.
|
protected abstract void |
setLength(long length)
Sets the number of bytes in the underlying RRD storage.
|
protected abstract void |
write(long offset,
byte[] b)
Writes an array of bytes to the underlying storage starting from the given
storage offset.
