Cursors provide a mechanism by which you can iterate over the records in a
database. Using cursors, you can get, put, and delete database records. If
a database allows duplicate records, then cursors are
<span>the only mechanism by
which you can access anything other than the first duplicate for a given
key.</span>
</p>
<p>
This chapter introduces cursors. It explains how to open and close them, how
to use them to modify databases, and how to use them with duplicate records.
</p>
<div class="sect1" lang="en" xml:lang="en">
<div class="titlepage">
<div>
<div>
<h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a id="openCursor"></a>Opening and Closing Cursors</h2>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>
To use a cursor, you must open it using the <code class="methodname">Database.openCursor()</code>
method. When you open a
cursor, you can optionally pass it a <code class="classname">CursorConfig</code>
object to set cursor properties.
<span>
The cursor properties that you can set allows you to
determine whether the cursor will perform committed or
uncommitted reads. See the
<em class="citetitle">Berkeley DB, Java Edition Getting Started with Transaction Processing</em> guide for more
information.
</span>
</p>
<p>For example:</p>
<a id="je_cursor1"></a>
<pre class="programlisting">package je.gettingStarted;
import com.sleepycat.je.Cursor;
import com.sleepycat.je.Database;
import com.sleepycat.je.DatabaseException;
import com.sleepycat.je.Environment;
import java.io.File;
...
Environment myDbEnvironment = null;
Database myDatabase = null;
Cursor myCursor = null;
try {
myDbEnvironment = new Environment(new File("/export/dbEnv"), null);
myDatabase = myDbEnvironment.openDatabase(null, "myDB", null);
myCursor = myDatabase.openCursor(null, null);
} catch (DatabaseException dbe) {
// Exception handling goes here ...
}</pre>
<p>
To close the cursor, call the <code class="methodname">Cursor.close()</code>
method. Note that if you close a database that has cursors open in it,
then it will throw an exception and close any open cursors for you.
For best results, close your cursors from within a
<code class="literal">finally</code> block. However, it is recommended that you always close all cursor handles immediately after their use to ensure concurrency and to release resources such as page locks.
<span></span>
</p>
<a id="je_cursor2"></a>
<pre class="programlisting">package je.gettingStarted;
import com.sleepycat.je.Cursor;
import com.sleepycat.je.Database;
import com.sleepycat.je.Environment;
...
try {
...
} catch ... {
} finally {
try {
if (myCursor != null) {
myCursor.close();
}
if (myDatabase != null) {
myDatabase.close();
}
if (myDbEnvironment != null) {
myDbEnvironment.close();
}
} catch(DatabaseException dbe) {
System.err.println("Error in close: " + dbe.toString());
}
} </pre>

<p>
JE records contain two parts — a key and some data. Both the key
and its corresponding data are
encapsulated in
<span><code class="classname">DatabaseEntry</code> class objects.</span>
Therefore, to access a JE record, you need two such
<span>objects,</span> one for the key and
one for the data.
</p>
<p>
<code class="classname">DatabaseEntry</code> can hold any kind of data from simple
Java primitive types to complex Java objects so long as that data can be
represented as a Java <code class="literal">byte</code> array. Note that due to
performance considerations, you should not use Java serialization to convert
a Java object to a <code class="literal">byte</code> array. Instead, use the Bind APIs
to perform this conversion (see
<a class="xref" href="bindAPI.html" title="Using the BIND APIs">Using the BIND APIs</a> for more
information).
</p>
<p>
This chapter describes how you can convert both Java primitives and Java
class objects into and out of <code class="literal">byte</code> arrays. It also
introduces storing and retrieving key/value pairs from a database. In
addition, this chapter describes how you can use comparators to influence
how JE sorts its database records.
</p>
<div class="sect1" lang="en" xml:lang="en">
<div class="titlepage">
<div>
<div>
<h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a id="usingDbEntry"></a>Using Database Records</h2>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>
Each database record is comprised of two
<span><code class="classname">DatabaseEntry</code> objects</span>
— one for the key and another for the data.
<span>The key and data information are passed to-
and returned from JE using
<code class="classname">DatabaseEntry</code> objects as <code class="literal">byte</code>
arrays. Using <code class="classname">DatabaseEntry</code>s allows JE to
change the underlying byte array as well as return multiple values (that
is, key and data). Therefore, using <code class="classname">DatabaseEntry</code> instances
is mostly an exercise in efficiently moving your keys and your data in
and out of <code class="literal">byte</code> arrays.</span>
</p>
<p>
For example, to store a database record where both the key and the
data are Java <code class="classname">String</code> objects, you instantiate a
pair of <code class="classname">DatabaseEntry</code> objects:
</p>
<a id="je_dbt1"></a>
<pre class="programlisting">package je.gettingStarted;
import com.sleepycat.je.DatabaseEntry;
...
String aKey = "key";
String aData = "data";
try {
DatabaseEntry theKey = new DatabaseEntry(aKey.getBytes("UTF-8"));
DatabaseEntry theData = new DatabaseEntry(aData.getBytes("UTF-8"));
} catch (Exception e) {
// Exception handling goes here
}
// Storing the record is described later in this chapter </pre>
<div class="note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;">
<h3 class="title">Note</h3>
<p>
Notice that we specify <code class="literal">UTF-8</code> when we retrieve the
<code class="literal">byte</code> array from our <code class="classname">String</code>
object. Without parameters, <code class="methodname">String.getBytes()</code> uses the
Java system's default encoding. You should never use a system's default
encoding when storing data in a database because the encoding can change.
</p>
</div>
<p>
When the record is retrieved from the database, the method that you
use to perform this operation populates two <code class="classname">DatabaseEntry</code>
instances for you, one for the key and another for the data. Assuming Java
<code class="classname">String</code> objects, you retrieve your data from the
<code class="classname">DatabaseEntry</code> as follows:
</p>
<a id="je_dbt2"></a>
<pre class="programlisting">package je.gettingStarted;
import com.sleepycat.je.DatabaseEntry;
...
// theKey and theData are DatabaseEntry objects. Database
// retrieval is described later in this chapter. For now,
// we assume some database get method has populated these
// objects for us.
// Use DatabaseEntry.getData() to retrieve the encapsulated Java
// byte array.
byte[] myKey = theKey.getData();
byte[] myData = theData.getData();
String key = new String(myKey, "UTF-8");
String data = new String(myData, "UTF-8"); </pre>
<p>
There are a large number of mechanisms that you can use to move data in
and out of <code class="literal">byte</code> arrays. To help you with this
activity, JE provides the bind APIs. These APIs allow you to
efficiently store both primitive data types and complex objects in
<code class="literal">byte</code> arrays.
</p>
<p>
The next section describes basic database put and get operations. A
basic understanding of database access is useful when describing database
storage of more complex data such as is supported by the bind APIs. Basic
bind API usage is then described in <a class="xref" href="bindAPI.html" title="Using the BIND APIs">Using the BIND APIs</a>.

<p>
To delete a record using a cursor, simply position the cursor to the
record that you want to delete and then call
<span>
<code class="methodname">Cursor.delete()</code>.
Note that after deleting a
record, the value of <code class="methodname">Cursor.getCurrent()</code>
is unchanged until such a
time as the cursor is moved again. Also, if you call
<code class="methodname">Cursor.delete()</code> two or more times in a row
without repositioning the cursor, then all subsequent deletes result in
a return value of <code class="literal">OperationStatus.KEYEMPTY</code>.

You set properties for the <code class="classname">Environment</code> using the
<code class="classname">EnvironmentConfig</code> class. You can also set properties for a
specific <code class="classname">Environment</code> instance using
<code class="classname">EnvironmentMutableConfig</code>.

<h3 class="title"><a id="envconfig"></a>The EnvironmentConfig Class</h3>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>
The <code class="classname">EnvironmentConfig</code> class makes a large number of fields and
methods available to you. Describing all of these tuning parameters is beyond the scope of
this manual. However, there are a few properties that you are likely to want to set. They
are described here.
</p>
<p>
Note that for each of the properties that you can commonly set, there is a corresponding
getter method. Also, you can always retrieve the
<code class="classname">EnvironmentConfig</code> object used by your environment using the
<code class="methodname">Environment.getConfig()</code> method.
</p>
<p>
You set environment configuration parameters using the following methods on the
<code class="classname">EnvironmentConfig</code> class:
</p>
<div class="itemizedlist">
<ul type="disc">
<li>
<p>
<code class="methodname">EnvironmentConfig.setAllowCreate()</code>
</p>
<p>
If <code class="literal">true</code>, the database environment is created when it is opened.
If <code class="literal">false</code>, environment open fails if the environment does not
exist. This property has no meaning if the database environment already exists.
Default is <code class="literal">false</code>.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
<code class="methodname">EnvironmentConfig.setReadOnly()</code>
</p>
<p>If <code class="literal">true</code>, then all databases opened in this
environment must be opened as read-only. If you are writing a
multi-process application, then all but one of your processes must set
this value to <code class="literal">true</code>. Default is <code class="literal">false</code>.</p>
<p>
You can also set this property using the <code class="literal">je.env.isReadOnly</code>
parameter in your <code class="filename"><span class="emphasis"><em>env_home</em></span>/je.properties</code> file.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
<code class="methodname">EnvironmentConfig.setTransactional()</code>
</p>
<p>If <code class="literal">true</code>, configures the database environment
to support transactions. Default is <code class="literal">false</code>.</p>
<p>
You can also set this property using the <code class="literal">je.env.isTransactional</code>
parameter in your <code class="filename"><span class="emphasis"><em>env_home</em></span>/je.properties</code> file.
</p>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<p>For example:</p>
<a id="je_env3"></a>
<pre class="programlisting">package je.gettingStarted;
import com.sleepycat.je.DatabaseException;
import com.sleepycat.je.Environment;
import com.sleepycat.je.EnvironmentConfig;
import java.io.File;
...
Environment myDatabaseEnvironment = null;
try {
EnvironmentConfig envConfig = new EnvironmentConfig();
envConfig.setAllowCreate(true);
envConfig.setTransactional(true);
myDatabaseEnvironment =
new Environment(new File("/export/dbEnv"), envConfig);
} catch (DatabaseException dbe) {
System.err.println(dbe.toString());
System.exit(1);
} </pre>
</div>
<div class="sect2" lang="en" xml:lang="en">
<div class="titlepage">
<div>
<div>
<h3 class="title"><a id="envhandleconfig"></a>EnvironmentMutableConfig</h3>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>
<code class="classname">EnvironmentMutableConfig</code> manages properties that can be reset after the
<code class="classname">Environment</code> object has been constructed. In addition, <code class="classname">EnvironmentConfig</code>
extends <code class="classname">EnvironmentMutableConfig</code>, so you can set these mutable properties at
<code class="classname">Environment</code> construction time if necessary.
</p>
<p>
The <code class="classname">EnvironmentMutableConfig</code> class allows you to set the following
properties:
</p>
<div class="itemizedlist">
<ul type="disc">
<li>
<p>
<code class="literal">setCachePercent()</code>
</p>
<p>
Determines the percentage of JVM memory available to the JE cache.
See
<a class="xref" href="cachesize.html" title="Sizing the Cache">Sizing the Cache</a>
for more information.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
<code class="literal">setCacheSize()</code>
</p>
<p>
Determines the total amount of memory available to the database cache.
See <a class="xref" href="cachesize.html" title="Sizing the Cache">Sizing the Cache</a>
for more information.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
<code class="literal">setTxnNoSync()</code>
</p>
<p>
Determines whether change records created due to a transaction commit are written to the backing
log files on disk. A value of <code class="literal">true</code> causes
the data to not be flushed to
disk. See the <em class="citetitle">Berkeley DB, Java Edition Getting Started with Transaction Processing</em> guide.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
<code class="literal">setTxnWriteNoSync()</code>
</p>
<p>
Determines whether logs are flushed on transaction commit (the logs are still written, however).
By setting this value to <code class="literal">true</code>, you potentially gain better performance than if
you flush the logs on commit, but you do so by losing some of your transaction durability guarantees.
</p>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<p>
There is also a corresponding getter method (<code class="methodname">getTxnNoSync()</code>).
Moreover, you can always retrieve your environment's
<code class="classname">EnvironmentMutableConfig</code> object by
using the <code class="methodname">Environment.getMutableConfig()</code> method.
</p>
<p>
For example:
</p>
<a id="je_env4"></a>
<pre class="programlisting">package je.gettingStarted;
import com.sleepycat.je.DatabaseException;
import com.sleepycat.je.Environment;
import com.sleepycat.je.EnvironmentMutableConfig;

To iterate over database records, from the first record to
the last, simply open the cursor and then use the
<code class="methodname">Cursor.getNext()</code>
method.
For example:
</p>
<a id="je_cursor3"></a>
<pre class="programlisting">package je.gettingStarted;
import com.sleepycat.je.Cursor;
import com.sleepycat.je.Database;
import com.sleepycat.je.DatabaseEntry;
import com.sleepycat.je.DatabaseException;
import com.sleepycat.je.LockMode;
import com.sleepycat.je.OperationStatus;
...
Cursor cursor = null;
try {
...
// Database and environment open omitted for brevity
...
// Open the cursor.
cursor = myDatabase.openCursor(null, null);
// Cursors need a pair of DatabaseEntry objects to operate. These hold
// the key and data found at any given position in the database.
DatabaseEntry foundKey = new DatabaseEntry();
DatabaseEntry foundData = new DatabaseEntry();
// To iterate, just call getNext() until the last database record has
// been read. All cursor operations return an OperationStatus, so just
// read until we no longer see OperationStatus.SUCCESS
while (cursor.getNext(foundKey, foundData, LockMode.DEFAULT) ==
OperationStatus.SUCCESS) {
// getData() on the DatabaseEntry objects returns the byte array
// held by that object. We use this to get a String value. If the
// DatabaseEntry held a byte array representation of some other
// data type (such as a complex object) then this operation would
// look considerably different.
String keyString = new String(foundKey.getData(), "UTF-8");
String dataString = new String(foundData.getData(), "UTF-8");
System.out.println("Key | Data : " + keyString + " | " +
dataString + "");
}
} catch (DatabaseException de) {
System.err.println("Error accessing database." + de);
} finally {
// Cursors must be closed.
cursor.close();
}</pre>
<p>
To iterate over the database from the last record to the first,
instantiate the cursor, and then
use <code class="methodname">Cursor.getPrev()</code> until you read the first record in
the database. For example:
</p>
<a id="je_cursor4"></a>
<pre class="programlisting">package je.gettingStarted;
import com.sleepycat.je.Cursor;
import com.sleepycat.je.Database;
import com.sleepycat.je.DatabaseEntry;

// Open the cursor.
cursor = myDatabase.openCursor(null, null);
// Get the DatabaseEntry objects that the cursor will use.
DatabaseEntry foundKey = new DatabaseEntry();
DatabaseEntry foundData = new DatabaseEntry();
// Iterate from the last record to the first in the database
while (cursor.getPrev(foundKey, foundData, LockMode.DEFAULT) ==

String theKey = new String(foundKey.getData(), "UTF-8");
String theData = new String(foundData.getData(), "UTF-8");
System.out.println("Key | Data : " + theKey + " | " +

The previous example shows how to scan through the records in
your database sequentially; that is, in the record's sort order.
This is mostly determined by the value contained in the records' keys
(additional sorting is required in the case of duplicate
records). However, you can use cursors to retrieve records based
on how they are stored on disk. This can improve retrieval times,
and is useful if your application needs to scan all the records
in the database quickly, without concern for key sort order.
You do this using the <code class="classname">DiskOrderedCursor</code>
class.
</p>
<p>
<code class="classname">DiskOrderedClass</code> works in the same way as
a regular cusor: you simply open the cursor, then retrieve
records one after another using the
<code class="methodname">DiskOrderedClass.getNext()</code>
method.
</p>
<p>
You open a <code class="classname">DiskOrderedCursor</code>
using the <code class="methodname">Database.openCursor()</code>
method. This version of the method takes a single parameter: an
instance of the
<code class="classname">DiskOrderedCursorConfig</code>
class, which can be used to configure various aspects of the
<code class="classname">DiskOrderedCursor</code>
class.
</p>
<a id="je_diskorderedcursor1"></a>

DiskOrderedCursor dcursor = null;
DiskOrderedCursorConfig docc = new DiskOrderedCursorConfig();
try {

dcursor = myDatabase.openCursor(docc);
// Cursors need a pair of DatabaseEntry objects to operate. These hold

<p>
You can use cursors to search for database records. You can search based
on just a key, or you can search based on both the key and the data.
You can also perform partial matches if your database supports sorted
duplicate sets. In all cases, the key and data parameters of these
methods are filled with the key and data values of the database record
to which the cursor is positioned as a result of the search.
</p>
<p>
Also, if the search fails, then cursor's state is left unchanged
and
<code class="literal">OperationStatus.NOTFOUND</code>
is returned.
</p>
<p>
The following <code class="classname">Cursor</code> methods allow you to
perform database searches:
</p>
<div class="itemizedlist">
<ul type="disc">
<li>
<p>
<code class="methodname">Cursor.getSearchKey()</code>
</p>
<p>
Moves the cursor to the first record in the database with
the specified key.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
<code class="methodname">Cursor.getSearchKeyRange()</code>
</p>
<p>
<span>Moves the cursor</span>
to the first record in the database whose
key is greater than or equal to the specified key. This comparison
is determined by the
<span>comparator</span>
that you provide for the database. If no
<span>comparator</span>
is provided, then the default
<span> unsigned byte-by-byte </span>
lexicographical sorting is used.
</p>
<p>
For example, suppose you have database records that use the
following
<span>Strings</span>
as keys:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">Alabama
Alaska
Arizona</pre>
<p>
Then providing a search key of <code class="literal">Alaska</code> moves the
cursor to the second key noted above. Providing a key of
<code class="literal">Al</code> moves the cursor to the first key (<code class="literal">Alabama</code>), providing
a search key of <code class="literal">Alas</code> moves the cursor to the second key
(<code class="literal">Alaska</code>), and providing a key of <code class="literal">Ar</code> moves the
cursor to the last key (<code class="literal">Arizona</code>).
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
<code class="methodname">Cursor.getSearchBoth()</code>
</p>
<p>
Moves the cursor to the first record in the database that uses
the specified key and data.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
<code class="methodname">Cursor.getSearchBothRange()</code>
</p>
<p>
Moves the cursor to the first record in the database whose key matches the specified
key and whose data is
greater than or equal to the specified data. If the database supports
duplicate records, then on matching the key, the cursor is moved to
the duplicate record with the smallest data that is greater than or
equal to the specified data.
</p>
<p>
For example,
<span>suppose you have</span>
database records that use the following key/data pairs:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">Alabama/Athens
Alabama/Florence
Alaska/Anchorage
Alaska/Fairbanks
Arizona/Avondale
Arizona/Florence </pre>
<p>then providing:</p>
<div class="informaltable">
<table border="1" width="80%">
<colgroup>
<col />
<col />
<col />
</colgroup>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>a search key of ...</th>
<th>and a search data of ...</th>
<th>moves the cursor to ...</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>Alaska</td>
<td>Fa</td>
<td>Alaska/Fairbanks</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Arizona</td>
<td>Fl</td>
<td>Arizona/Florence</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Alaska</td>
<td>An</td>
<td>Alaska/Anchorage</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</div>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<p>
For example, assuming a database containing sorted duplicate records of
U.S. States/U.S Cities key/data pairs (both as
<span>Strings),</span>
then the following code fragment can be used to position the cursor
to any record in the database and print its key/data values:

If your database supports duplicate records, then it can potentially
contain multiple records that share the same key.
<span>
Using normal database get operations, you can only ever obtain the
first such record in a set of duplicate records. To access subsequent
duplicates, use a cursor.
</span>
The following
<span><code class="methodname">Cursor</code> methods</span>
are interesting when working with databases that support duplicate records:
</p>
<div class="itemizedlist">
<ul type="disc">
<li>
<p>

<code class="methodname">Cursor.getNext()</code>,
<code class="methodname">Cursor.getPrev()</code>

</p>
<p>
Shows the next/previous record in the database, regardless of
whether it is a duplicate of the current record. For an example of
using these methods, see <a class="xref" href="Positioning.html" title="Getting Records Using the Cursor">Getting Records Using the Cursor</a>.

<p>
Useful for seeking the cursor to a specific record, regardless of
whether it is a duplicate record. See <a class="xref" href="Positioning.html#cursorsearch" title="Searching for Records">Searching for Records</a> for more
information.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
<span>
<code class="methodname">Cursor.getNextNoDup()</code>,
<code class="methodname">Cursor.getPrevNoDup()</code>
</span>
</p>
<p>
Gets the next/previous non-duplicate record in the database. This
allows you to skip over all the duplicates in a set of duplicate
records. If you call
<span><code class="methodname">Cursor.getPrevNoDup()</code>,</span>
then the cursor is positioned to the last record for the previous
key in the database. For example, if you have the following records
in your database:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">Alabama/Athens
Alabama/Florence
Alaska/Anchorage
Alaska/Fairbanks
Arizona/Avondale
Arizona/Florence</pre>
<p>
and your cursor is positioned to <code class="literal">Alaska/Fairbanks</code>,
and you then call
<span><code class="methodname">Cursor.getPrevNoDup()</code>,</span>
then the cursor is positioned to Alabama/Florence. Similarly, if
you call
<span><code class="methodname">Cursor.getNextNoDup()</code>,</span>
then the cursor is positioned to the first record corresponding to
the next key in the database.
</p>
<p>
If there is no next/previous key in the database, then
<code class="literal">OperationStatus.NOTFOUND</code>
is returned, and the cursor is left unchanged.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
<span>
<code class="methodname">Cursor.getNextDup()</code>,
<code class="methodname">Cursor.getPrevDup()</code>
</span>
</p>
<p>
Gets the
<span>next/previous</span>
record that shares the current key. If the
cursor is positioned at the last record in the duplicate set and
you call
<span><code class="methodname">Cursor.getNextDup()</code>,</span>
then
<code class="literal">OperationStatus.NOTFOUND</code>
is returned and the cursor is left unchanged.
<span>
Likewise, if you call
<code class="methodname">getPrevDup()</code> and the
cursor is positioned at the first record in the duplicate set, then
<code class="literal">OperationStatus.NOTFOUND</code> is returned and the
cursor is left unchanged.
</span>
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
<code class="methodname">Cursor.count()</code>
</p>
<p>Returns the total number of records that share the current key.</p>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<p>
For example, the following code fragment positions a cursor to a key
<span>and, if the key contains duplicate records,
displays all the duplicates.</span>
<span>Note that the following code fragment assumes that the database contains
only String objects for the keys and data.</span>

</div>
<p>
You can use cursors to put records into the database. JE's behavior
when putting records into the database differs depending on whether the
database supports duplicate records. If duplicates are allowed, its
behavior also differs depending on whether a comparator is provided for
the database. (Comparators are described in
<a class="xref" href="comparator.html" title="Using Comparators">Using Comparators</a>).
</p>
<p>
Note that when putting records to the database using a cursor, the
cursor is positioned at the record you inserted.
</p>
<p>
You can use the following methods to put records to the database:
</p>
<div class="itemizedlist">
<ul type="disc">
<li>
<p>
<code class="methodname">Cursor.put()</code>
</p>
<p>
If the provided key does not exist in the database,
then the order that the record is put into the database
is determined by the BTree (key) comparator in use by the database.
</p>
<p>
If the provided key already exists in the database, and the database
does not support sorted duplicates, then the existing record data is
replaced with the data provided on this method.
</p>
<p>
If the provided key already exists in the database, and the database
does support sorted duplicates, then the order that the record is
inserted into the database is determined by the duplicate comparator
in use by the database.
</p>
<p>
Note that a version of this method exists which allows you to
specify a Time to Live value for the record that you are
inserting. See <a class="xref" href="timetolive.html" title="Using Time to Live">Using Time to Live</a>
for more information.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
<code class="methodname">Cursor.putNoDupData()</code>
</p>
<p>
If the provided key <span>and data</span> already exists
in the database, then this method returns
<code class="literal">OperationStatus.KEYEXIST</code>.
</p>
<p>
If the key does not exist, then the order that the record is put into the database
is determined by the
<span>
BTree (key) comparator in use by the database.
</span>
</p>
<span></span>
</li>
<li>
<p>
<code class="methodname">Cursor.putNoOverwrite()</code>
</p>
<p>
If the provided key already exists
in the database, then this method returns
<code class="literal">OperationStatus.KEYEXIST</code>.
</p>
<p>
If the key does not exist, then the order that the record is put into the database
is determined by the BTree (key) comparator in use by the database.

You replace the data for a database record by using

database.

<p>
Note that this method cannot be used if the record that you are trying
to replace is a member of a duplicate set. This is because records must
be sorted by their data and replacement would violate that sort order.
</p>
<p>
<span>If</span>
you want to replace the data contained by a duplicate record,
delete the record and create a new record with the desired key and data.

There are a series of tools and parameters of interest to the
administrator of a Berkeley DB Java Edition database.
These tools and parameters are useful for tuning your
JE database's behavior once it is in a production
setting, and they are described here. This chapter, however, does not describe backing up and restoring your
JE databases. See
<a class="xref" href="backuprestore.html" title="Chapter 11. Backing up and Restoring Berkeley DB Java Edition Applications">Backing up and Restoring Berkeley DB Java Edition Applications</a> for information on how to perform those procedures.

<p>
JE applications can be controlled through a
Java properties file. This file must be placed in your environment home directory and it must be named
<code class="filename">je.properties</code>.
</p>
<p>
The parameters set in this file take precedence over the configuration behavior coded into the
JE application by your application developers.
</p>
<p>
Usually you will use this file to control the behavior of JE's background threads, and to control the size of your
in-memory cache. These topics, and the properties parameters related to them, are described in this chapter.
Beyond the properties described here, there are other properties identified throughout this manual that may be
of interest to you. However, the definitive identification of all
the property parameters available to you is described in the javadoc for the
<code class="classname">EnvironmentConfig</code> class. Each property has a
<code class="classname">String</code> constant in <code class="classname">EnvironmentConfig</code> that
describes its meaning, default value, and so forth.

<p>This section provides a brief overview to the major concepts and
operations that comprise a JE application. This section is concluded with a summary of the decisions that
you need to make when working with JE.</p>
<p>
Note that the core JE classes are all contained in the <code class="literal">com.sleepycat.je</code> package.
In addition, this book describes some classes that are found in <code class="literal">com.sleepycat.je.bind</code>.
The bind APIs are used for converting Java objects in and out of <code class="literal">byte</code> arrays.
</p>
<div class="sect2" lang="en" xml:lang="en">
<div class="titlepage">
<div>
<div>
<h3 class="title"><a id="dbIntro"></a>Database Environments</h3>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>
Regardless of the JE API that you use, your data is
stored in databases. If you use the DPL, you do not manage
these databases directly; rather, they are managed for you by
the API. On the other hand, if you use the lower-level JE
APIs, then you must manage databases directly. This is not
difficult to do as it mostly involves opening and closing the
databases, giving them names, and so forth. See
<a class="xref" href="databases.html" title="Chapter 7. Databases">Databases</a>
for more
information.
</p>
<p>
That said, JE always requires you to use a
<span class="emphasis"><em>database environment</em></span>. Database
environments provide an unit of encapsulation for one or more
databases. Environments correspond to a directory location on
disk, and in them you will find all the files in use by JE.
Environments are also used to manage JE resources such as
transactions.
</p>
<p>
To use a database environment, it must first be created and then
opened. In order to create a database environment, the
directory location in which it resides must already exist.
</p>
<p>
You open a database environment by instantiating an
<code class="classname">Environment</code> object. Your
<code class="classname">Environment</code> instance is called
an <span class="emphasis"><em>environment handle</em></span>.
</p>
<p>
Once you have opened an environment, what you do with it
depends on the nature of your application; that is, the
JE API you are using and whether you are using advanced
features such as transactions. (See
<em class="citetitle">Berkeley DB, Java Edition Getting Started with Transaction Processing</em>
for details on using
transactions). However, at a minimum you will always have to
open your environment before you can access your data stored
in JE. Also, before you end your application you should
always close your environment.
</p>
<p>
Environments are described in greater detail in <a class="xref" href="env.html" title="Chapter 2. Database Environments">Database Environments</a>.
</p>
</div>
<div class="sect2" lang="en" xml:lang="en">
<div class="titlepage">
<div>
<div>
<h3 class="title"><a id="key-data"></a>Key-Data Pairs</h3>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>
JE stores and retrieves data using
<span class="emphasis"><em>key-data pairs</em></span>. The
<span class="emphasis"><em>data</em></span> portion of this is the data
that you have decided to store in JE for future
retrieval. The <span class="emphasis"><em>key</em></span> is the
information that you want to use to look up your
stored data once it has been placed inside a JE
database.
</p>
<p>
For example, if you were building a database that
contained employee information, then the
<span class="emphasis"><em>data</em></span> portion is all of the
information that you want to store about the employees:
name, address, phone numbers, physical location, their
manager, and so forth.
</p>
<p>
The <span class="emphasis"><em>key</em></span>, however, is the way that
you look up any given employee. You can have more than
one key if you wish, but every record in your database must have a
primary key. If you are using the DPL, then this key must be unique; that is,
it must not be used multiple times in the database. However, if you are using
the base API, then this requirement is relaxed. See
<a class="xref" href="applicationoverview.html#duplicatesintro" title="Duplicate Data">Duplicate Data</a> for more
information.
</p>
<p>
For example, in the case of an employee database, you would probably use
something like the employee identification number as the primary key as this
uniquely identifies a given employee.
</p>
<p>
You can optionally also have secondary keys that represent indexes
into your database. These keys do not have to be unique
to a given record; in fact, they often are not. For
example, you might set up the employee's manager's name
as a secondary key so that it is easy to locate all
the employee's that work for a given manager.

<h3 class="title"><a id="storing-intro"></a>Storing Data</h3>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>
How you manage your stored information differs
significantly, depending on which API you are using.
Both APIs ultimately are doing the same thing, but the
DPL hides a lot of the details from you.
</p>
<div class="sect3" lang="en" xml:lang="en">
<div class="titlepage">
<div>
<div>
<h4 class="title"><a id="dplstore"></a>Storing Data in the DPL</h4>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>
The DPL is used to store Java objects in an
underlying series of databases. These databases are
accessed using an <code class="classname">EntityStore</code>
class object.
</p>
<p>
To use the DPL, you must decorate the classes you
want to store with Java annotations that identify them
as either an <span class="emphasis"><em>entity class</em></span> or a
<span class="emphasis"><em>persistent class</em></span>.
</p>
<p>
Entity classes are classes that have a primary key, and
optionally one or more secondary keys. That is, these
are the classes that you will save and retrieve directly
using the DPL. You identify an entity class using the
<code class="literal">@Entity</code> java annotation.
</p>
<p>
Persistent classes are classes used by entity classes.
They do not have primary or secondary indices used for
object retrieval. Rather, they are stored or retrieved
when an entity class makes direct use of them. You
identify an persistent class using the
<code class="literal">@Persistent</code> java annotation.
</p>
<p>
The primary key for an object is obtained from one of the class' data members.
You identify which data member to use as the primary key using the
<code class="literal">@PrimaryKey</code> java annotation.
</p>
<p>
Note that all non-transient instance fields of a
persistent class, as well as its superclasses and
subclasses, are persistent. Static and transient fields
are not persistent. The persistent fields of a class
may be private, package-private (default access),
protected or public.
</p>
<p>
Also, simple Java types, such as
<code class="classname">java.lang.String</code> and
<code class="classname">java.util.Date</code>, are automatically handled as a
persistent class when you use them in an entity class;
you do not have to do anything special to cause these
simple Java objects to be stored in the
<code class="classname">EntityStore</code>.
</p>

<div class="sect3" lang="en" xml:lang="en">

<div>
<div>
<h4 class="title"><a id="lowlevelstore"></a>Storing Data using the Base API</h4>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>
When you are not using the DPL, both record keys and record data must be byte
arrays and are passed to and returned from JE using
<code class="classname">DatabaseEntry</code> instances.
<code class="classname">DatabaseEntry</code> only supports storage of Java byte arrays.
Complex objects must be marshaled using either Java serialization, or more
efficiently with the bind APIs provided with JE </p>
<p> Database
records and <code class="literal">byte</code> array conversion are described in <a class="xref" href="DBEntry.html" title="Chapter 8. Database Records">Database Records</a>.
</p>
<p>
You store records in a <code class="classname">Database</code> by calling one of the
put methods on a <code class="classname">Database</code> handle. JE
automatically determines the record's proper placement in the database's
internal B-Tree using whatever key and data comparison functions that are
available to it.
</p>
<p>
You can also retrieve, or get, records using the
<code class="classname">Database</code> handle. Gets are performed by providing the
key (and sometimes also the data) of the record that you want to retrieve.
</p>
<p>
You can also use cursors for database puts and gets. Cursors are essentially
a mechanism by which you can iterate over the records in the database. Like
databases and database environments, cursors must be opened and closed.
Cursors are managed using the <code class="classname">Cursor</code> class.
</p>
<p>
Databases are described in <a class="xref" href="databases.html" title="Chapter 7. Databases">Databases</a>. Cursors
are described in <a class="xref" href="Cursors.html" title="Chapter 9. Using Cursors">Using Cursors</a>.

<div>
<h3 class="title"><a id="duplicatesintro"></a>Duplicate Data</h3>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>
If you are using the base API, then at creation time databases can be configured to
allow duplicate data. Remember that JE database records consist of a key/data
pair. <span class="emphasis"><em>Duplicate data</em></span>, then, occurs when two or more records have
identical keys, but different data. By default, a <code class="classname">Database</code> does
not allow duplicate data.
</p>
<p>
If your <code class="classname">Database </code> contains duplicate data, then a simple
database get based only on a key returns just the first record that uses that key. To
access all duplicate records for that key, you must use a cursor.
</p>
<p>
If you are using the DPL, then you can duplicate date using
secondary keys, but not by using the primary key. For more information, see
<a class="xref" href="getmultiple.html" title="Retrieving Multiple Objects">Retrieving Multiple Objects</a>.
</p>
</div>
<div class="sect2" lang="en" xml:lang="en">
<div class="titlepage">
<div>
<div>
<h3 class="title"><a id="replacedeleteIntro"></a>Replacing and Deleting Entries</h3>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>
If you are using the DPL, then replacing a stored entity object simply consists of
retrieving it, updating it, then storing it again. To delete the object, use the
<code class="methodname">delete()</code> method that is available on either its primary or
secondary keys. If you use the <code class="methodname">delete()</code> method available on
the secondary key, then all objects referenced by that key are also deleted.
See <a class="xref" href="dpl_delete.html" title="Deleting Entity Objects">Deleting Entity Objects</a>
for more information.
</p>
<p>
If you are using the base API, then how you replace database records depends on whether
duplicate data is allowed in the database.
</p>
<p>
If duplicate data is not allowed in the database, then simply calling
<code class="methodname">Database.put()</code> with the appropriate key will cause any
existing record to be updated with the new data. Similarly, you can delete a record by
providing the appropriate key to the <code class="methodname">Database.delete()</code>
method.
</p>
<p>
If duplicate data is allowed in the database, then you must position a cursor to the
record that you want to update, and then perform the put operation using the cursor.
</p>
<p>
To delete records using the base API, you can use either <code class="methodname">Database.delete()</code> or
<code class="methodname">Cursor.delete()</code>. If duplicate data is not allowed in your
database, then these two method behave identically. However, if duplicates are allowed
in the database, then <code class="methodname">Database.delete()</code> deletes every record
that uses the provided key, while <code class="methodname">Cursor.delete()</code> deletes just
the record at which the cursor is currently positioned.

<div class="titlepage">
<div>
<div>
<h3 class="title"><a id="secondary"></a>Secondary Keys</h3>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>
Secondary keys provide an alternative way to locate information stored in
JE, beyond that which is provided by the primary key. Frequently secondary
keys refer to more than one record in the database. In this way, you can find
all the cars that are green (if you are maintaining an automotive database) or
all the people with brown eyes (if you are maintaining a database about people).
In other words, secondary keys represent a index into your data.
</p>
<p>
How you create and maintain secondary keys differs significantly, depending on
whether you are using the DPL or the base API.

<div class="sect3" lang="en" xml:lang="en">
<div class="titlepage">
<div>
<div>
<h4 class="title"><a id="secondarydpl"></a>Using Secondaries with the DPL</h4>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>
Under the DPL, you declare a particular field to be a secondary key by
using the <code class="literal">@SecondaryKey</code> annotation. When you do this,
you must declare what kind of an index you are creating. For example,
you can declare a secondary key to be part of a
<code class="literal">ONE_TO_ONE</code> index, in which case the key is unique to
the object. Or you could declare the key to be
<code class="literal">MANY_TO_ONE</code>, in which case the key can be used for
multiple objects in the data store.
</p>
<p>
Once you have identified secondary keys for a class, you can access
those keys by using the <code class="methodname">EntityStore.getSecondaryIndex()</code>
method.

<h4 class="title"><a id="secondarybaseapi"></a>Using Secondaries with the Base API.</h4>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>
When you are using the base API, you create and maintain secondary keys using a
special type of a database, called a <span class="emphasis"><em>secondary database</em></span>.
When you are using secondary databases, the database that holds the data you are
indexing is called the <span class="emphasis"><em>primary database</em></span>.
</p>
<p>
You create a secondary database by opening it and associating it with an
existing primary database. You must also provide a class that generates the
secondary's keys (that is, the index) from primary records. Whenever a
record in the primary database is added or changed, JE uses this class
to determine what the secondary key should be.
</p>
<p>
When a primary record is created, modified, or deleted, JE automatically
updates the secondary database(s) for you as is appropriate for the
operation performed on the primary.
</p>
<p>
You manage secondary databases using the
<code class="classname">SecondaryDatabase</code> class. You identify how to create keys
for your secondary databases by supplying an instance of a class that implements
the <code class="classname">SecondaryKeyCreator</code> interface.
</p>
<p>
Secondary databases are described in <a class="xref" href="indexes.html" title="Chapter 10. Secondary Databases">Secondary Databases</a>.

<div class="titlepage">
<div>
<div>
<h3 class="title"><a id="transactionIntro"></a>Transactions</h3>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>
Transactions provide a high level of safety for your JE operations by allowing
you to manage one or more operations as if they were a single unit of work.
Transactions provide your JE operations with recoverability, atomicity, and
isolation.
</p>
<p>
Transactions provide recoverability by allowing JE to undo any
transactional-protected operations that may have been in progress at the time of an
application or system failure.
</p>
<p>
Transactions provide atomicity by allowing you to group many operations into
a single unit of work. Either all operations succeed or none of them do. This means
that if one write operation fails for any reason, then all other writes contained
within that transaction also fail. This ensures that the database is never partially
updated as the result of an only partially successful chain of read/write operations.
</p>
<p>
Transactions provide isolation by ensuring that the transaction will never write to a
record that is currently in use (for either read or write) by another transaction.
Similarly, any record to which the transaction has written can not be read outside of
the transaction until the transaction ends. Note that this is only the default
behavior; you can configure your <code class="classname">Database</code>,
<code class="classname">Cursor</code>, or <code class="classname">Transaction</code> handle to relax
its isolation guarantees.
</p>
<p>
Essentially, transactional isolation provides a transaction with the same unmodified view of the
database that it would have received had the operations been performed in a single-threaded application.
</p>
<p>
Transactions may be long or short lived, they can encompass as many
operations as you want, and (if using the base API) they can span databases
so long as all participating databases reside in the same environment.
</p>
<p>
Transaction usage results in a performance penalty for the application because they
generally require more disk I/O than do non-transactional operations. Therefore, while
most applications will use transactions for JE writes, their usage is optional.
In particular, processes that are performing read-only operations
might not use transactions. Also, applications that use JE for an easily
recreated cache might also choose to avoid transactions.
</p>
<p>
Using transactions with your JE applications is described in detail in the
<em class="citetitle">Berkeley DB, Java Edition Getting Started with Transaction Processing</em> guide.

<h3 class="title"><a id="resourcesIntro"></a>JE Resources</h3>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>
JE has some internal resources that you may want to manage. Most important of these is the in-memory cache.
You should carefully consider how large the JE cache needs to be. If you set this number too low, JE will
perform potentially unnecessary disk I/O which will result in a performance hit. If you set it too high, then
you are potentially wasting RAM that could be put to better purposes.
</p>
<p>
Note that the size that you configure for the in-memory cache is a maximum size. At application startup, the
cache starts out fairly small (only about 7% of the maximum allowed size for the cache). It then grows as is
required by your application's database operations. Also, the cache is not pinned in memory it can be
paged out by your operating system's virtual memory system.
</p>
<p>
Beyond the cache, JE uses several background threads to clean
the JE log files, to compress the database by removing unneeded
subtrees, and to flush database changes seen in the cache to the backing data files. For the
majority of JE applications, the default behavior for the background threads should be acceptable and you
will not need to manage their behavior. Note that background threads are started no more than once per
process upon environment open.
</p>
<p>

Application Considerations
</h3>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>When building your JE application, be sure to think about the following things:</p>
<div class="itemizedlist">
<ul type="disc">
<li>
<p>What data do you want to store? What is best used for the
primary key? What is the best representation for primary record data?
If you are using the base API, think about the most efficient way to move your keys and data in and
out of byte arrays. See <a class="xref" href="DBEntry.html" title="Chapter 8. Database Records">Database Records</a> for more information.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Does the nature of your data require duplicate record support?
Remember that duplicate support can be configured only if you are using the base
API, and then only at database
creation time. See <a class="xref" href="databases.html#DBOpen" title="Opening Databases">Opening Databases</a> for more information.</p>
<p>If you are supporting duplicate records, you may also need to think
about duplicate comparators (not just key comparators). See
<a class="xref" href="comparator.html" title="Using Comparators">Using Comparators</a> for more information.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>What secondary indexes do you need? How can you compute your secondary indexes based on the data and
keys stored in your primary database?
Indexes are described in <a class="xref" href="indexes.html" title="Chapter 10. Secondary Databases">Secondary Databases</a>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>What cache size do you need? See
<a class="xref" href="cachesize.html" title="Sizing the Cache">Sizing the Cache</a> for information on how to size your cache.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Does your application require transactions (most will).

<p>
JE uses some background threads to keep your database resources within pre-configured limits. If they are
going to run, the background threads are started once per application per process. That is, if your application
opens the same environment multiple times, the background threads will be started just once for that process.
See the following list for the default conditions that gate whether an individual thread is run. Note that you
can prevent a background thread from running by using the appropriate <code class="filename">je.properties</code>
parameter, but this is not recommended for production use and those parameters are not described here.
</p>
<p>
The background threads are:
</p>
<div class="itemizedlist">
<ul type="disc">
<li>
<p>
Cleaner thread.
</p>
<p>
Responsible for cleaning and deleting unused log files. See <a class="xref" href="backgroundthreads.html#cleaner" title="The Cleaner Thread">The Cleaner Thread</a> for more information.
</p>
<p>
This thread is run only if the environment is opened for write access.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Compressor thread.
</p>
<p>
Responsible for cleaning up the internal BTree as database records are deleted. The compressor thread
ensures that the BTree does not contain unused nodes. There is no need for you to manage the
compressor and so it is not described further in this manual.
</p>
<p>
This thread is run only if the environment is opened for write access.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Checkpointer thread.
</p>
<p>
Responsible for running checkpoints on your environment. See
<a class="xref" href="backgroundthreads.html#checkpointer" title="The Checkpointer Thread">The Checkpointer Thread</a> for more information.
</p>
<p>
This thread always runs.
</p>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="sect2" lang="en" xml:lang="en">
<div class="titlepage">
<div>
<div>
<h3 class="title"><a id="cleaner"></a>The Cleaner Thread</h3>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>
The cleaner thread is responsible for cleaning, or compacting, your log files for you.
Log file cleaning is described in <a class="xref" href="backuprestore.html#logcleaning" title="Cleaning the Log Files">Cleaning the Log Files</a>.
</p>
<p>
The following two properties may be of interest to you when managing the cleaner thread:
</p>
<div class="itemizedlist">
<ul type="disc">
<li>
<p>
<code class="literal">je.cleaner.minUtilization</code>
</p>
<p>
Identifies the percentage of the log file space that must be used for utilized records. If the
percentage of log file space used by utilized records is too low, then the cleaner removes
obsolete records until this threshold is reached. Default is 50%.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
<code class="literal">je.cleaner.expunge</code>
</p>
<p>
Identifies the cleaner's behavior in the event that it is able to remove a log file. If
<code class="literal">true</code>, the log files that have been cleaned are deleted from the file system. If
<code class="literal">false</code>, the log files that have been cleaned are renamed from
<code class="literal">NNNNNNNN.jdb</code> to <code class="literal">NNNNNNNN.del</code>. You are then responsible for
deleting the renamed files.
</p>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<p>
Note that the cleaner thread runs only if the environment is opened for write access. Also, be aware that
the cleaner is not guaranteed to finish running before the environment is closed, which can result in
unexpectedly large log files. See
<a class="xref" href="envclose.html" title="Closing Database Environments">Closing Database Environments</a> for more information.

This section describes how to backup your JE database(s) such that catastrophic recovery is possible for
non-transactional applications. Note that this same material is repeated in the
<em class="citetitle">Berkeley DB, Java Edition Getting Started with Transaction Processing</em>
guide, but for transactional applications. If you are writing transactional
applications, you may want to skip the rest of this chapter and go straight to that book.
</p>
<p>
To backup your database, you can either take a hot backup or an offline backup. A hot
backup is performed while database write operations are in progress.
</p>
<p>
Do not confuse hot and offline backups with the concept of a full and incremental backup. Both a
hot and an offline backup are full backups you back up the entire database. The only difference
between them is how much of the contents of the in-memory cache are contained in them. On the other hand,
an incremental backup is a backup of just those log files modified or created since the time of the last
backup. Most backup software
is capable of performing both full and incremental backups for you.
</p>
<div class="sect2" lang="en" xml:lang="en">
<div class="titlepage">
<div>
<div>
<h3 class="title"><a id="partialBackup"></a>Performing a Hot Backup</h3>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>
To perform a hot backup of your JE databases, copy all log files
(<code class="filename">*.jdb</code> files) from your environment directory to
your archival location or backup media. The files must be copied
in alphabetical order (numerical in effect). You do not have to
stop any database operations in order to do this.
</p>
<div class="note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;">
<h3 class="title">Note</h3>
<p>
If you are using subdirectories to store your log files, then you must backup
the subdirectories, making sure to keep log files in the subdirectory in which
JE placed them. For information on using subdirectories to store your log
files, see <a class="xref" href="env.html#multisubdir" title="Multiple Environment Subdirectories">Multiple Environment Subdirectories</a>.
</p>
</div>
<p>
To make this process a bit easier, you may want to make use of the
<code class="classname">DbBackup</code> helper class. See
<a class="xref" href="backup.html#dbbackuphelper" title="Using the DbBackup Helper Class">Using the DbBackup Helper Class</a>
for details.
</p>
<p>
Note that any modifications made to the database since the time of the last
environment sync are not guaranteed to be contained in these log files. In this
case, you may want to consider running an offline backup in order to guarantee the
availability of all modifications made to your database.
</p>
</div>
<div class="sect2" lang="en" xml:lang="en">
<div class="titlepage">
<div>
<div>
<h3 class="title"><a id="completeBackup"></a>Performing an Offline Backup</h3>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>
An offline backup guarantees that you have captured the database in its entirety, including all contents
of your in-memory cache, at the moment that the
backup was taken. To do this, you must make sure that no write operations are in progress and all
database modifications have been written to your log files
on disk. To obtain an offline backup:
</p>
<div class="orderedlist">
<ol type="1">
<li>
<p>
Stop writing your databases.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Run <code class="methodname">Environment.sync()</code> so as to
ensure that all database modifications are written to disk. Note that cleanly closing your
environment will also ensure that all database modifications are written to disk.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Copy all log files (<code class="filename">*.jdb</code>) from your environment
directory to your archival location or backup media. To make this process a
bit easier, you may want to make use of the <code class="classname">DbBackup</code>
helper class. See the next section for details.
</p>
<div class="note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;">
<h3 class="title">Note</h3>
<p>
If you are using subdirectories to store your log files, then you must backup
the subdirectories, making sure to keep log files in the subdirectory in which
JE placed them. For information on using subdirectories to store your log
files, see <a class="xref" href="env.html#multisubdir" title="Multiple Environment Subdirectories">Multiple Environment Subdirectories</a>.
</p>
</div>
</li>
</ol>
</div>
<p>
You can now resume normal database operations.
</p>
</div>
<div class="sect2" lang="en" xml:lang="en">
<div class="titlepage">
<div>
<div>
<h3 class="title"><a id="dbbackuphelper"></a>Using the DbBackup Helper Class</h3>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>
In order to simplify backup operations, JE
provides the <code class="classname">DbBackup</code> helper
class. This class stops and restarts JE background activity
in an open environment. It also lets the application create a
backup which can support restoring the environment to
a specific point in time.
</p>
<p>
Because you do not have to stop JE write activity
in order to take a backup, it is usually necessary to
examine your log files twice before you decide that
your backup is complete. This is because JE may
create a new log file while you are running your
backup. A second pass over your log files allows you to
ensure that no new files have been created and so you
can declare your backup complete.
</p>
<p>
For example:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting"> time files in activity
environment
t0 000000001.jdb Backup starts copying file 1
000000003.jdb
000000004.jdb
t1 000000001.jdb JE log cleaner migrates portion of file 3 to
000000004.jdb newly created file 5 and deletes file 3.
000000005.jdb Backup finishes file 1, starts copying file 4.
Backup MUST include file 5 for a consistent
backup!
t2 000000001.jdb Backup finishes copying file 4, starts and
000000004.jdb finishes file 5, has caught up. Backup ends.
000000005.jdb
</pre>
<p>
<code class="classname">DbBackup</code> works around this
problem by defining the set of files that must be
copied for each backup operation, and freezes all
changes to those files. The application can copy that
defined set of files and finish operation without
checking for the ongoing creation of new files. Also,
there will be no need to check for a newer version of
the last file on the next backup.
</p>
<p>
In the example above, if <code class="classname">DbBackup</code> was used at t0,
the application would only have to copy files 1, 3 and
4 to back up. On a subsequent backup, the application
could start its copying at file 5. There would be no
need to check for a newer version of file 4.
</p>
<p>
The following code fragment illustrates this class' usage.
See the <code class="classname">DbBackup</code> javadoc for additional
examples and more information on incremental backups.
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">package je.gettingStarted;
...
import com.sleepycat.je.util.DbBackup;
...
// Find the file number of the last file in the previous backup
// persistently, by either checking the backup archive, or saving
// state in a persistent file.
long lastFileCopiedInPrevBackup = ...
Environment env = new Environment(...);
DbBackup backupHelper = new DbBackup(env, lastFileCopiedInPrevBackup);
// Start backup, find out what needs to be copied.
// If multiple environment subdirectories are in use,
// the getLogFilesInBackupSet returns the log file
// name prefixed with the dataNNN/ directory in which
// it resides.
backupHelper.startBackup();
try {
String[] filesForBackup = backupHelper.getLogFilesInBackupSet();
// Copy the files to archival storage.
myApplicationCopyMethod(filesForBackup)
// Update our knowlege of the last file saved in the backup set,
// so we can copy less on the next backup
lastFileCopiedInPrevBackup = backupHelper.getLastFileInBackupSet();
myApplicationSaveLastFile(lastFileCopiedInBackupSet);
}
finally {
// Remember to exit backup mode, or all log files won't be cleaned
// and disk usage will bloat.
backupHelper.endBackup();
} </pre>

Fundamentally, you backup your databases by copying JE log files off to a safe storage location. To restore
your database from a backup, you copy those files to an appropriate directory on disk and reopen your JE
application
</p>
<p>
Beyond these simple activities, there are some differing backup strategies that you may want to consider. These
topics are described in this chapter.

Before describing JE backup and restore, it is necessary to describe some of JE's internal workings. In
particular, a high-level understanding of JE log files and the in-memory cache is required. You also need
to understand a little about how JE is using its internal data structures in order to understand why
checkpoints and/or syncs are required.
</p>
<p>
You can skip this section so long as you understand that:
</p>
<div class="itemizedlist">
<ul type="disc">
<li>
<p>
JE databases are stored in log files contained in your environment directory.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Every time a JE environment is opened, normal recovery is run.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
For transactional applications, checkpoints should be run in order to bound normal recovery time.
Checkpoints are normally run by the checkpointer thread. Transactional applications and the
checkpointer thread are described in the
<em class="citetitle">Berkeley DB, Java Edition Getting Started with Transaction Processing</em> guide.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
For non-transactional applications, environment syncs must be performed if you want to guarantee the
persistence of your database modifications. Environment syncs are manually performed by the
application developer. See <a class="xref" href="usingDbt.html#datapersist" title="Data Persistence">Data Persistence</a> for details.
</p>

<h3 class="title"><a id="lognames"></a>Log File Overview</h3>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>
Your JE database is stored on-disk in a series of log files.
JE uses no-overwrite log files, which is to say that JE only ever appends data to the end of a log
file. It will never delete or modify an existing log file record.
</p>
<p>
JE log files are named
<code class="literal">NNNNNNNN.jdb</code> where <code class="literal">NNNNNNNN</code> is an 8-digit hexadecimal number that
increases by 1 (starting from <code class="literal">00000000</code>) for each log file written to disk.
</p>
<p>
JE creates a new log file whenever the current log file has reached a pre-configured size (10000000
bytes by default). This size is controlled by the <code class="literal">je.log.fileMax</code> properties
parameter. See <a class="xref" href="administration.html#propertyfile" title="The JE Properties File">The JE Properties File</a> for information on setting
JE properties.
</p>
<p>
By default, log files are placed in the environment home directory. However, you can
cause JE to place log files in subdirectories within the environment home
directory. For more information, see
<a class="xref" href="env.html#multisubdir" title="Multiple Environment Subdirectories">Multiple Environment Subdirectories</a>.

</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>
Because JE uses no-overwrite log files, the logs must be compacted or cleaned so as to conserve disk space.
</p>
<p>
JE uses the cleaner background thread to perform this task. When it runs, the cleaner thread picks
the log file with the smallest number of active records and scans each log record in it.
If the record is no longer
active in the database tree, the cleaner does nothing. If the record is still active in the tree, then
the cleaner copies the record forward to a newer log file.
</p>
<p>
Once a log file is no longer needed (that is, it no longer contains active records), then the cleaner
thread deletes the log file for you. Or, optionally, the cleaner thread can simply rename the discarded
log file with a <code class="literal">del</code> suffix.
</p>
<p>
JE uses a minimum log utilization property to determine how much cleaning to perform. The log files
contain both obsolete and utilized records. Obsolete records are records that are no longer in use, either
because they have been modified or because they have been deleted. Utilized records are those records
that are currently in use. The <code class="literal">je.cleaner.minUtilization</code> property identifies the
minimum percentage of log space that must be used by utilized records. If this minimum percentage is not
met, then log files are cleaned until the minimum percentage is met.
</p>
<p>
For information on managing the cleaner thread, see <a class="xref" href="backgroundthreads.html#cleaner" title="The Cleaner Thread">The Cleaner Thread</a>.

<h3 class="title"><a id="btree"></a>The BTree</h3>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>
JE databases are internally organized as a BTree. In order to operate, JE requires the complete BTree
be available to it.
</p>
<p>
When database records are created, modified, or deleted, the modifications are represented in the BTree's
leaf nodes. Beyond leaf
node changes, database record modifications can also cause changes to other BTree nodes and structures.
</p>
</div>
<div class="sect2" lang="en" xml:lang="en">
<div class="titlepage">
<div>
<div>
<h3 class="title"><a id="syncs"></a>Database Modifications and Syncs</h3>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>
When a write operation is performed in JE, the modified data
is written to a leaf node contained in the in-memory cache. If
your JE writes are performed without transactions, then the
in-memory cache is the only location guaranteed to receive a
database modification without further intervention on the part
of the application developer.
</p>
<p>
For some class of applications, this lack of a guaranteed write to disk is ideal. By not writing these modifications to
the on-disk logs, the application can avoid most of the overhead caused by disk I/O.
</p>
<p>
However, if the application requires its data to persist persist at a specific point in time, then the developer must
manually sync database modifications to the on-disk log files (again, this is only necessary for
non-transactional applications). This is done using <code class="classname">Environment.sync()</code>.
</p>
<p>
Note that syncing the cache causes JE to write all modified objects in the cache
to disk. This is probably the most expensive operation that you can perform in JE.
</p>
</div>
<div class="sect2" lang="en" xml:lang="en">
<div class="titlepage">
<div>
<div>
<h3 class="title"><a id="normalrecovery"></a>Normal Recovery</h3>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>
Every time a JE environment is opened, normal recovery is run.
Because of the way that JE organizes and manages its BTrees, all it needs is leaf nodes in order to
recreate the rest of the BTree. Essentially, this is what <span class="emphasis"><em>normal recovery</em></span> is
doing recreating any missing parts of the internal BTree from leaf node information stored in the
log files.
</p>
<p>
Unlike a traditional database system, JE performs recovery for both transactional
and non-transactional operations. The integrity of the Btree is
guaranteed by JE in the face of both application and OS crashes.

This section discusses
application that are built using the JE base API. Note that
most JE applications can probably be written
using the DPL (see <a class="xref" href="dpl.html" title="Part I. Programming with the Direct Persistence Layer">Programming with the Direct Persistence Layer</a> for more
information). However, if you are porting an application
from the Berkeley DB API, then the base API is right for
you.

<p>Except for Java String and boolean types, efficiently moving data in
and out of Java byte arrays for storage in a database can be a nontrivial
operation. To help you with this problem, JE provides the Bind APIs.
While these APIs are described in detail in the
<span>
<em class="citetitle">Berkeley DB, Java Edition Collections Tutorial</em>,
</span>
this section provides a brief introduction to using the Bind APIs with:</p>
<div class="itemizedlist">
<ul type="disc">
<li>
<p>Single field numerical and string objects</p>
<p>Use this if you want to store a single numerical or string object,
such as <code class="classname">Long</code>, <code class="classname">Double</code>, or
<code class="classname">String</code>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Complex objects that implement Java serialization.</p>
<p>Use this if you are storing objects that implement
<code class="classname">Serializable</code> and if you do not need to sort them.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Non-serialized complex objects.</p>
<p>If you are storing objects that do not implement serialization,
you can create your own custom tuple bindings. Note that you should
use custom tuple bindings even if your objects are serializable if
you want to sort on that data.</p>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="sect2" lang="en" xml:lang="en">
<div class="titlepage">
<div>
<div>
<h3 class="title"><a id="bindPrimitive"></a>Numerical and String Objects</h3>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>You can use the Bind APIs to store primitive data in a <code class="classname">DatabaseEntry</code>
object. That is, you can store a single field containing one of the following types:</p>
<div class="itemizedlist">
<ul type="disc">
<li>
<p>
<code class="classname">String</code>
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
<code class="classname">Character</code>
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
<code class="classname">Boolean</code>
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
<code class="classname">Byte</code>
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
<code class="classname">Short</code>
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
<code class="classname">Integer</code>
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
<code class="classname">Long</code>
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
<code class="classname">Float</code>
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
<code class="classname">Double</code>
</p>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<p>
To store primitive data using the Bind APIs:
</p>
<div class="orderedlist">
<ol type="1">
<li>
<p>Create an <code class="classname">EntryBinding</code> object.</p>
<p>When you do this, you use <code class="classname">TupleBinding.getPrimitiveBinding()</code>
to return an appropriate binding for the conversion.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Use the <code class="classname">EntryBinding</code> object to place
the numerical object on the <code class="classname">DatabaseEntry</code>.</p>
</li>
</ol>
</div>
<p>Once the data is stored in the DatabaseEntry, you can put it to
the database in whatever manner you wish. For example:</p>
<a id="je_dbt6"></a>
<pre class="programlisting">package je.gettingStarted;
import com.sleepycat.bind.EntryBinding;
import com.sleepycat.bind.tuple.TupleBinding;
import com.sleepycat.je.DatabaseEntry;
...
// Need a key for the put.
try {
String aKey = "myLong";
DatabaseEntry theKey = new DatabaseEntry(aKey.getBytes("UTF-8"));
// Now build the DatabaseEntry using a TupleBinding
Long myLong = new Long(123456789l);
DatabaseEntry theData = new DatabaseEntry();
EntryBinding myBinding = TupleBinding.getPrimitiveBinding(Long.class);
myBinding.objectToEntry(myLong, theData);
// Now store it
myDatabase.put(null, theKey, theData);
} catch (Exception e) {
// Exception handling goes here
}</pre>
<p>Retrieval from the <code class="classname">DatabaseEntry</code> object is
performed in much the same way:</p>
<a id="je_dbt7"></a>
<pre class="programlisting">package je.gettingStarted;
import com.sleepycat.bind.EntryBinding;
import com.sleepycat.bind.tuple.TupleBinding;
import com.sleepycat.je.Database;
import com.sleepycat.je.DatabaseEntry;
import com.sleepycat.je.LockMode;
import com.sleepycat.je.OperationStatus;
...
Database myDatabase = null;
// Database open omitted for clarity
try {
// Need a key for the get
String aKey = "myLong";
DatabaseEntry theKey = new DatabaseEntry(aKey.getBytes("UTF-8"));
// Need a DatabaseEntry to hold the associated data.
DatabaseEntry theData = new DatabaseEntry();
// Bindings need only be created once for a given scope
EntryBinding myBinding = TupleBinding.getPrimitiveBinding(Long.class);
// Get it
OperationStatus retVal = myDatabase.get(null, theKey, theData,
LockMode.DEFAULT);
String retKey = null;
if (retVal == OperationStatus.SUCCESS) {
// Recreate the data.
// Use the binding to convert the byte array contained in theData
// to a Long type.
Long theLong = (Long) myBinding.entryToObject(theData);
retKey = new String(theKey.getData(), "UTF-8");
System.out.println("For key: '" + retKey + "' found Long: '" +
theLong + "'.");
} else {
System.out.println("No record found for key '" + retKey + "'.");
}
} catch (Exception e) {
// Exception handling goes here
} </pre>

<h3 class="title"><a id="object2dbt"></a>Serializable Complex Objects</h3>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>Frequently your application requires you to store and manage
objects for your record data and/or keys. You may need to do this if you
are caching objects created by another process. You may also want to do
this if you want to store multiple data values on a record. When used
with just primitive data, or with objects containing a single data member,
JE database records effectively represent a single row in a two-column table.
By storing a complex object in the record, you can turn each record into
a single row in an <span class="emphasis"><em>n</em></span>-column table, where
<span class="emphasis"><em>n</em></span> is the number of data members contained by the
stored object(s).</p>
<p>In order to store objects in a
JE database, you must convert them to and from a <code class="literal">byte</code> array.
The first instinct for many Java programmers is to do this using Java
serialization. While this is functionally a correct solution, the result
is poor space-performance because this causes the class information
to be stored on every such database record. This information can be quite large
and it is redundant — the class information does not vary for serialized objects of the same type.
</p>
<p>
In other words, directly using serialization to place your objects into byte
arrays means that you will be storing a great deal of unnecessary information in
your database, which ultimately leads to larger databases and more expensive disk
I/O.
</p>
<p>The easiest way for you to solve this problem is to use the Bind
APIs to perform the serialization for you. Doing so causes the extra
object information to be saved off to a unique <code class="classname">Database</code>
dedicated for that purpose. This means that you do not have to duplicate
that information on each record in the <code class="classname">Database</code>
that your application is using to store its information.</p>
<p>
Note that when you use the Bind APIs to perform serialization, you still
receive all the benefits of serialization. You can still use arbitrarily
complex object graphs, and you still receive built-in class evolution
through the serialVersionUID (SUID) scheme. All of the Java
serialization rules apply without modification. For example, you can
implement Externalizable instead of Serializable.
</p>
<div class="sect3" lang="en" xml:lang="en">
<div class="titlepage">
<div>
<div>
<h4 class="title"><a id="bindCaveats"></a>Usage Caveats</h4>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>Before using the Bind APIs to perform serialization, you may
want to consider writing your own custom tuple bindings. Specifically,
avoid serialization if:
</p>
<div class="itemizedlist">
<ul type="disc">
<li>
<p>
If you need to sort based on the objects your are storing.
The sort order is meaningless for the byte arrays that you
obtain through serialization. Consequently, you should not use serialization for keys if you
care about their sort order. You should
also not use serialization for record data if your
<code class="classname">Database</code> supports duplicate records and you care about sort order.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
You want to minimize the size of your byte arrays. Even when using the Bind APIs to perform the
serialization the resulting <code class="literal">byte</code> array may be larger than necessary. You can achieve
more compact results by building your own custom tuple binding.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
You want to optimize for speed. In general, custom tuple bindings are faster than serialization at
moving data in and out of <code class="literal">byte</code> arrays.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
You are using custom comparators. In JE, comparators are instantiated and called internally whenever
databases are not accessible. Because serial bindings depend on the class catalog, a serial binding
binding cannot be used during these times. As a result, attempting to use a serial binding with a
custom comparator will result in a <code class="literal">NullPointerException</code> during environment open or
close.

<p>To store a serializable complex object using the
Bind APIs:</p>
<div class="orderedlist">
<ol type="1">
<li>
<p>
Implement java.io.Serializable in the class whose instances that
you want to store.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Open (create) your databases. You need two. The first is the
database that you use to store your data. The second is used to
store the class information.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Instantiate a class catalog. You do this with
<code class="classname">com.sleepycat.bind.serial.StoredClassCatalog</code>,
and at that time you must provide a handle to an open database
that is used to store the class information.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Create an entry binding that uses <code class="methodname">com.sleepycat.bind.serial.SerialBinding</code>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Instantiate an instance of the object that you want to
store, and place it in a <code class="classname">DatabaseEntry</code>
using the entry binding that you created in the previous step.</p>
</li>
</ol>
</div>
<p>
For example, suppose you want to store a long, double, and a
String as a record's data. Then you might create a class that
looks something like this:
</p>
<a id="je_dbt8"></a>
<pre class="programlisting">package je.gettingStarted;
import java.io.Serializable;
public class MyData implements Serializable {
private long longData;
private double doubleData;
private String description;
MyData() {
longData = 0;
doubleData = 0.0;
description = null;
}
public void setLong(long data) {
longData = data;
}
public void setDouble(double data) {
doubleData = data;
}
public void setDescription(String data) {
description = data;
}
public long getLong() {
return longData;
}
public double getDouble() {
return doubleData;
}
public String getDescription() {
return description;
}
}</pre>
<p>You can then store instances of this class as follows:</p>
<a id="je_dbt9"></a>
<pre class="programlisting">package je.gettingStarted;
import com.sleepycat.bind.EntryBinding;
import com.sleepycat.bind.serial.StoredClassCatalog;
import com.sleepycat.bind.serial.SerialBinding;

import com.sleepycat.je.DatabaseEntry;
...
// The key data.
String aKey = "myData";
// The data data
MyData data2Store = new MyData();
data2Store.setLong(123456789l);
data2Store.setDouble(1234.9876543);
data2Store.setDescription("A test instance of this class");
try {
// Environment open omitted for brevity
// Open the database that you will use to store your data
DatabaseConfig myDbConfig = new DatabaseConfig();
myDbConfig.setAllowCreate(true);
myDbConfig.setSortedDuplicates(true);
Database myDatabase = myDbEnv.openDatabase(null, "myDb", myDbConfig);
// Open the database that you use to store your class information.
// The db used to store class information does not require duplicates
// support.
myDbConfig.setSortedDuplicates(false);
Database myClassDb = myDbEnv.openDatabase(null, "classDb",
myDbConfig);
// Instantiate the class catalog
StoredClassCatalog classCatalog = new StoredClassCatalog(myClassDb);
// Create the binding
EntryBinding dataBinding = new SerialBinding(classCatalog,
MyData.class);
// Create the DatabaseEntry for the key
DatabaseEntry theKey = new DatabaseEntry(aKey.getBytes("UTF-8"));
// Create the DatabaseEntry for the data. Use the EntryBinding object
// that was just created to populate the DatabaseEntry
DatabaseEntry theData = new DatabaseEntry();
dataBinding.objectToEntry(data2Store, theData);
// Put it as normal
myDatabase.put(null, theKey, theData);
// Database and environment close omitted for brevity

<p>
If you want to store complex objects in your database, then you can use
tuple bindings to do this. While they are more work to write and
maintain than if you were to use serialization, the
<code class="literal">byte</code> array conversion is faster. In addition, custom
tuple bindings should allow you to create <code class="literal">byte</code> arrays
that are smaller than those created by serialization. Custom tuple
bindings also allow you to optimize your BTree comparisons, whereas
serialization does not.
</p>
<p>
For information on using serialization to store complex objects, see
<a class="xref" href="bindAPI.html#object2dbt" title="Serializable Complex Objects">Serializable Complex Objects</a>.
</p>
<p>To store complex objects using a custom tuple binding:</p>
<div class="orderedlist">
<ol type="1">
<li>
<p>Implement the class whose instances that you want to store.
Note that you do not have to implement the Serializable interface.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Write a tuple binding using the <code class="classname">com.sleepycat.bind.tuple.TupleBinding</code>
class.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Open (create) your database. Unlike serialization, you only
need one.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Create an entry binding that uses the tuple binding that you
implemented in step 2.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Instantiate an instance of the object that you want to store,
and place it in a <code class="classname">DatabaseEntry</code> using the
entry binding that you created in the previous step.</p>
</li>
</ol>
</div>
<p>
For example, suppose you want to your keys to be instances of the
following class:
</p>
<a id="je_dbt11"></a>
<pre class="programlisting">package je.gettingStarted;
public class MyData2 {
private long longData;
private Double doubleData;
private String description;
public MyData2() {
longData = 0;
doubleData = new Double(0.0);
description = "";
}
public void setLong(long data) {
longData = data;
}
public void setDouble(Double data) {
doubleData = data;
}
public void setString(String data) {
description = data;
}
public long getLong() {
return longData;
}
public Double getDouble() {
return doubleData;
}
public String getString() {
return description;
}
} </pre>
<p>In this case, you need to write a tuple binding for the
<code class="classname">MyData2</code> class. When you do this, you must
implement the <code class="methodname">TupleBinding.objectToEntry()</code>
and <code class="methodname">TupleBinding.entryToObject()</code> abstract methods.
Remember the following as you implement these methods:</p>
<div class="itemizedlist">
<ul type="disc">
<li>
<p>You use <code class="methodname">TupleBinding.objectToEntry()</code> to convert
objects to <code class="literal">byte</code> arrays. You use
<code class="classname">com.sleepycat.bind.tuple.TupleOutput</code> to write
primitive data types to the <code class="literal">byte</code> array. Note that
<code class="classname">TupleOutput</code> provides methods that allows
you to work with numerical types (<code class="literal">long</code>,
<code class="literal">double</code>, <code class="literal">int</code>, and so forth) and
not the corresponding <code class="literal">java.lang</code> numerical
classes.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>The order that you write data to the <code class="literal">byte</code>
array in <code class="methodname">TupleBinding.objectToEntry()</code> is the order that
it appears in the array. So given the <code class="classname">MyData2</code>
class as an example, if you write <code class="literal">description</code>,
<code class="literal">doubleData</code>, and then <code class="literal">longData</code>,
then the resulting byte array will contain these data elements in
that order. This means that your records will sort based on the
value of the <code class="literal">description</code> data member and then
the <code class="literal">doubleData</code> member, and so forth. If you
prefer to sort based on, say, the <code class="literal">longData</code> data
member, write it to the byte array first.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>You use <code class="methodname">TupleBinding.entryToObject()</code> to convert
the <code class="literal">byte</code> array back into an instance of your
original class. You use <code class="classname">com.sleepycat.bind.tuple.TupleInput</code>
to get data from the <code class="literal">byte</code> array.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>The order that you read data from the <code class="literal">byte</code>
array must be exactly the same as the order in which it was written.</p>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<p>For example:</p>
<a id="je_dbt12"></a>
<pre class="programlisting">package je.gettingStarted;
import com.sleepycat.bind.tuple.TupleBinding;
import com.sleepycat.bind.tuple.TupleInput;
import com.sleepycat.bind.tuple.TupleOutput;
public class MyTupleBinding extends TupleBinding {
// Write a MyData2 object to a TupleOutput
public void objectToEntry(Object object, TupleOutput to) {
MyData2 myData = (MyData2)object;
// Write the data to the TupleOutput (a DatabaseEntry).
// Order is important. The first data written will be
// the first bytes used by the default comparison routines.
to.writeDouble(myData.getDouble().doubleValue());
to.writeLong(myData.getLong());
to.writeString(myData.getString());
}
// Convert a TupleInput to a MyData2 object
public Object entryToObject(TupleInput ti) {
// Data must be read in the same order that it was
// originally written.
Double theDouble = new Double(ti.readDouble());
long theLong = ti.readLong();
String theString = ti.readString();
MyData2 myData = new MyData2();
myData.setDouble(theDouble);
myData.setLong(theLong);
myData.setString(theString);
return myData;
}
} </pre>
<p>In order to use the tuple binding, instantiate the binding and
then use:</p>
<div class="itemizedlist">
<ul type="disc">
<li>
<p><code class="methodname">MyTupleBinding.objectToEntry()</code> to
convert a MyData2 object to a <code class="classname">DatabaseEntry</code>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><code class="methodname">MyTupleBinding.entryToObject()</code> to convert
a <code class="classname">DatabaseEntry</code> to a <code class="classname">MyData2</code>
object.</p>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<p>For example:</p>
<a id="je_dbt13"></a>
<pre class="programlisting">package je.gettingStarted;
import com.sleepycat.bind.tuple.TupleBinding;
import com.sleepycat.je.DatabaseEntry;
...
TupleBinding keyBinding = new MyTupleBinding();
MyData2 theKeyData = new MyData2();
theKeyData.setLong(123456789l);
theKeyData.setDouble(new Double(12345.6789));
theKeyData.setString("My key data");
DatabaseEntry myKey = new DatabaseEntry();
try {
// Store theKeyData in the DatabaseEntry
keyBinding.objectToEntry(theKeyData, myKey);
...
// Database put and get activity omitted for clarity
...
// Retrieve the key data
theKeyData = (MyData2) keyBinding.entryToObject(myKey);
} catch (Exception e) {
// Exception handling goes here

</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>
By default, your cache is limited to a percentage of the JVM maximum
memory as specified by the <code class="literal">-Xmx</code> parameter. You can
change this percentage by using the <code class="literal">je.maxMemoryPercent</code> property
or through <code class="methodname">EnvironmentMutableConfig.setCachePercent()</code>.
That is, the maximum amount of memory available to your cache is
normally calculated as:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">je.maxMemoryPercent * JVM_maximum_memory</pre>
<p>
You can find out what the value for this property is by using
<code class="methodname">EnvironmentConfig.getCachePercent()</code>.
</p>
<p>
Note that you can cause JE to use a fixed maximum cache size by
using <code class="literal">je.maxMemory</code> or by using
<code class="methodname">EnvironmentConfig.setCacheSize()</code>.
</p>
<p>
Also, not every JVM is capable of identifying the amount of memory requested via
the <code class="literal">-Xmx</code> parameter. For those JVMs you must use
<code class="literal">je.maxMemory</code> to change your maximum cache size. The
default maximum memory available to your cache in this case is 38M.
</p>
<p>
Of the amount of memory allowed for your cache, 93% is used for the internal BTree and the other 7% is
used for internal buffers. When your application first starts up, the 7% for buffers is immediately allocated.
The remainder of the cache grows lazily as your application reads and writes data.
</p>
<p>
In order for your application to start up successfully, the Java virtual machine must have enough memory
available to it (as identified by the <code class="literal">-Xmx</code> command line switch) for both your application and
7% of your maximum cache value. In order for your application to run continuously (all the while loading data
into the cache), you must make sure your JVM has enough memory for your application plus the maximum cache size.
</p>
<p>
The best way to determine how large your cache needs to be is to put your application into a production
environment and watch to see how much disk I/O is occurring. If the application is going to disk quite a lot to
retrieve database records, then you should increase the size of your cache (provided that you have enough memory
to do so).
</p>
<p>
You can also use the
<code class="methodname">com.sleepycat.je.util.DbCacheSize</code> utility
to obtain a rough estimate of how large your cache needs to be for
a given number of records and record characteristics. The utility
returns an estimate of the cache size to hold
the specified number of records in memory. See the
<a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/util/DbCacheSize.html" target="_top">DbCacheSize javadoc</a>
for information on the utility's usage.
</p>
<p>
In order to determine how frequently your application is going to disk for database records not found in the
cache, you can examine the value returned by <code class="methodname">EnvironmentStats.getNCacheMiss()</code>.
</p>
<p>
<code class="methodname">EnvironmentStats.getNCacheMiss()</code> identifies the total number of requests for
database objects that were
not serviceable from the cache. This value is cumulative since the application started. The faster this number grows,
the more your application is going to disk to service database operations. Upon application startup you can
expect this value to grow quite rapidly. However, as time passes and your cache is seeded with your most
frequently accessed database records, what you want is for this number's growth to be zero or at least very
small.
</p>
<p>
Note that this statistic can only be collected from within the application itself or using the JMX extension
(see <a class="xref" href="jmx.html" title="JConsole and JMX Support">JConsole and JMX Support</a>).
</p>
<p>

<p>
Catastrophic recovery is necessary whenever your environment and/or database have been lost or corrupted
due to a media failure (disk failure, for example). Catastrophic recovery is also required if normal
recovery fails for any reason.
</p>
<p>
In order to perform catastrophic recovery, you must have a full back up of your databases. You will use
this backup to restore your database. See <a class="xref" href="backup.html" title="Performing Backups">Performing Backups</a> for
information on running back ups.
</p>
<p>
To perform catastrophic recovery:
</p>
<div class="orderedlist">
<ol type="1">
<li>
<p>
Shut down your application.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Delete the contents of your environment home directory (the one that experienced a catastrophic
failure), if there is anything there.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Copy your most recent full backup into your environment home directory.
If you are using subdirectories to store your log files, be sure to place
the recovered log files back into the subdirectory from which they were
originally backed up.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
If you are using a backup utility that runs incremental backups of your
environment directory, copy any log files generated since the time of your
last full backup. Be sure to restore all log files in the order that they
were written. The order is important because it is possible the same log
file appears in multiple archives, and you want to run recovery using the
most recent version of each log file. Also, if you are using subdirectories to
store your log files, be sure to maintain the relationship between your log files
and the subdirectory in which JE originally placed them.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Open the environment as normal. JE's normal recovery will run, which will bring your database
to a consistent state relative to the changed data found in your log files.
</p>
</li>
</ol>
</div>
<p>
You are now done restoring your database.

</p>
</dd>
<dt>
<span class="term">
<span class="bold">
<strong><code class="option">-p</code> </strong>

<dd>
<p>
Salvage data from a possibly corrupt file. When used on a uncorrupted database, this option
should return data equivalent to a normal dump, but most likely in a different order.
</p>
<p>
This option causes the ensuing output to go to a file named
<span class="emphasis"><em>dbname</em></span><code class="literal">.dump</code> where
<span class="emphasis"><em>dbname</em></span> is the name of the database you are dumping. The
file is placed in the current working directory.

</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Aggressively salvage data from a possibly corrupt file. This option differs from the -r option
in that it will return all possible data from the file at the risk of also returning already
deleted or otherwise nonsensical items. Data dumped in this fashion will almost certainly have
to be edited by hand or other means before the data is ready for reload into another database.
</p>
<p>
This option causes the ensuing output to go to a file named

<p>
The input must be paired lines of text, where the first line of the pair is the key item,
and the second line of the pair is its corresponding data item.
</p>
<p>
A simple escape mechanism, where newline and backslash (\) characters are special, is
applied to the text input. Newline characters are interpreted as record separators.
Backslash characters in the text will be interpreted in one of two ways: If the backslash
character precedes another backslash character, the pair will be interpreted as a literal
backslash. If the backslash character precedes any other character, the two characters
following the backslash will be interpreted as a hexadecimal specification of a single
character; for example, \0a is a newline character in the ASCII character set.
</p>
<p>
For this reason, any backslash or newline characters that naturally occur in the text input
must be escaped to avoid misinterpretation by db_load.

<p>Internally, JE databases are organized as BTrees.
This means that most database operations
(inserts, deletes, reads, and so forth) involve BTree node
comparisons. This comparison most frequently occurs based on database
keys, but if your database supports duplicate records then
comparisons can also occur based on the database data.
</p>
<p>
By default, JE performs all such comparisons using a byte-by-byte
lexicographic comparison. This mechanism works well for most data.
However, in some cases you may need to specify your own comparison
routine. One frequent reason for this is to perform a language sensitive
lexical ordering of string keys.
</p>
<div class="sect2" lang="en" xml:lang="en">
<div class="titlepage">
<div>
<div>
<h3 class="title"><a id="writeCompare"></a>Writing Comparators</h3>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>
You override the default comparison function by providing a Java
<code class="classname">Comparator</code> class to the database.
The Java <code class="classname">Comparator</code> interface requires you to implement the
<code class="methodname">Comparator.compare()</code> method
(see <a class="ulink" href="http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/util/Comparator.html" target="_top">http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/util/Comparator.html</a> for details).
</p>
<p>
JE passes your <code class="methodname">Comparator.compare()</code> method
the <code class="literal">byte</code> arrays that you stored in the database. If
you know how your data is organized in the <code class="literal">byte</code>
array, then you can write a comparison routine that directly examines
the contents of the arrays. Otherwise, you have to reconstruct your
original objects, and then perform the comparison.
</p>
<p>
For example, suppose you want to perform unicode lexical comparisons
instead of UTF-8 byte-by-byte comparisons. Then you could provide a
comparator that uses <code class="methodname">String.compareTo()</code>,
which performs a Unicode comparison of two strings (note that for
single-byte roman characters, Unicode comparison and UTF-8
byte-by-byte comparisons are identical this is something you
would only want to do if you were using multibyte unicode characters
with JE). In this case, your comparator would look like the
following:
</p>
<a id="je_dbt14"></a>
<pre class="programlisting">package je.gettingStarted;
import java.util.Comparator;
public class MyDataComparator implements Comparator {
public MyDataComparator() {}
public int compare(Object d1, Object d2) {
byte[] b1 = (byte[])d1;
byte[] b2 = (byte[])d2;
String s1 = new String(b1, "UTF-8");
String s2 = new String(b2, "UTF-8");
return s1.compareTo(s2);
}
} </pre>
</div>
<div class="sect2" lang="en" xml:lang="en">
<div class="titlepage">
<div>
<div>
<h3 class="title"><a id="setCompare"></a>Setting Comparators</h3>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>
You specify a <code class="classname">Comparator</code> using the following
methods. Note that by default these methods can only be used at database
creation time, and they are ignored for normal database opens. Also,
note that JE uses the no-argument constructor for these comparators.
Further, it is not allowable for there to be a mutable state in these
comparators or else unpredictable results will occur.
</p>
<div class="itemizedlist">
<ul type="disc">
<li>
<p>
<code class="methodname">DatabaseConfig.setBtreeComparator()</code>
</p>
<p>
Sets the Java <code class="classname">Comparator</code> class used
to compare two keys in the database.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
<code class="methodname">DatabaseConfig.setDuplicateComparator()</code>
</p>
<p>
Sets the Java <code class="classname">Comparator</code> class used to compare the
data on two duplicate records in the database. This comparator is
used only if the database supports duplicate records.
</p>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<p>
You can use the above methods to set a database's comparator after
database creation time if you explicitly indicate that the comparator
is to be overridden. You do this by using the following methods:
</p>
<div class="note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;">
<h3 class="title">Note</h3>
<p>
If you override your comparator, the new comparator must preserve the
sort order implemented by your original comparator. That is, the new
comparator and the old comparator must return the same value for the
comparison of any two valid objects. Failure to observe this constraint
will cause unpredictable results for your application.
</p>
<p>
If you want to change the fundamental sort order for your database, back
up the contents of the database, delete the database, recreate it, and
then reload its data.
</p>
</div>
<div class="itemizedlist">
<ul type="disc">
<li>
<p>
<code class="methodname">DatabaseConfig.setOverrideBtreeComparator()</code>
</p>
<p>
If set to <code class="literal">true</code>, causes the database's Btree
comparator to be overridden with the
<code class="classname">Comparator</code> specified on
<code class="methodname">DatabaseConfig.setBtreeComparator()</code>. This
method can be used to change the comparator post-environment
creation.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
<code class="methodname">DatabaseConfig.setOverrideDuplicateComparator()</code>
</p>
<p>
If set to <code class="literal">true</code>, causes the database's
duplicates comparator to be overridden with the
<code class="classname">Comparator</code> specified on
<code class="methodname">DatabaseConfig.setDuplicateComparator()</code>.
</p>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<p>For example, to use the <code class="classname">Comparator</code>
described in the previous section:</p>

Database myDatabase = myDbEnv.openDatabase(null, "myDb", myDbConfig);

<h2 class="title"><a id="concurrentProcessing"></a>Appendix A. Concurrent Processing in Berkeley DB Java Edition</h2>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>
An in-depth description of concurrent processing in JE is beyond the scope of this manual. However, there are
a few things that you should be aware of as you explore JE. Note that many of these topics are described in
greater detail in other parts of this book. This section is intended only to summarize JE concurrent
processing.
</p>
<p>
Also, this appendix touches on a topic not
discussed in any detail in this manual: transactions. Transactional usage is
optional but nevertheless very commonly used for JE
applications, especially when writing multi-threaded or
multi-process applications. However, transactions also
represent a topic that is too large for this book. To read a
thorough description of JE and transactional processing,
see the <em class="citetitle">Berkeley DB, Java Edition Getting Started with Transaction Processing</em> guide.
</p>
<p>
This appendix first describes concurrency with multithreaded applications. It then goes on to describe
<a class="xref" href="multiprocess.html" title="Multiprocess Applications">Multiprocess Applications</a>.
</p>
<div class="sect1" lang="en" xml:lang="en">
<div class="titlepage">
<div>
<div>
<h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a id="multithreaded"></a>Multithreaded Applications</h2>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>
Note the following if you are writing an application that will use multiple threads for reading and writing
JE databases:
</p>
<div class="itemizedlist">
<ul type="disc">
<li>
<p>
JE database and environment handles are free-threaded (that is, are thread safe), so from a mechanical perspective you
do not have to synchronize access to them when they are used by multiple threads of control.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
It is dangerous to close environments and databases when other database operations are in
progress. So if you are going to share handles for these objects across threads, you should
architect your application such that there is no possibility of a thread closing a handle when
another thread is using that handle.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
If a transaction is shared across threads, it is safe to call <code class="methodname">transaction.abort()</code> from
any thread. However, be aware that any thread that attempts a database operation using an aborted
transaction will throw a <code class="classname">DatabaseException</code>. You should architect your
application such that your threads are able to gracefully deal with some other thread aborting the
current transaction.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
If a transaction is shared across threads, make sure that
<code class="methodname">transaction.commit()</code> can never be called until all threads participating in
the transaction have completed their database operations.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Locking is performed at the database record level.
JE always checks for lock conflicts, which can be caused either by operations that run for
too long a period of time, or by deadlocks. JE decides that a lock conflict has occured when
the lock cannot be obtained within a set timeout
period. If it cannot, regardless of why the lock could
not be obtained, then <code class="classname">LockConflictException</code> is thrown.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
A non-transactional operation that reads a record locks it for the duration of the read.
While locked for read, a write lock can not be obtained on that record. However, another read lock
can be obtained for that record. This means that for threaded applications, multiple threads can
simultaneously read a record, but no thread can write to the record while a read is in progress.
</p>
<p>
Note that if you are performing uncommitted reads, then no locking is performed for that read. Instead,
JE uses internal mechanisms to ensure that the data you are reading is consistent (that is, it
will not change mid-read).
</p>
<p>
Finally, it is possible to specify that you want a write lock for your read operation. You do this
using <code class="literal">LockMode.RMW</code>. Use <code class="literal">RMW</code> when you know that your read will
subsequently be followed up with a write operation. Doing so can help to avoid lock conflicts.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
An operation that writes to a record obtains a write lock on that record. While the write lock is in
progress, no other locks can be obtained for that record (either read or write).
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
All locks, read or write, obtained from within a transaction are held until the transaction is either
committed or aborted.
This means that the longer a transaction lives, the more likely other threads in your application
are to run into lock conflicts. That is, write operations
performed outside of the scope of the transaction will not be able to obtain a lock on those records
while the transaction is in progress. Also, by default, reads performed outside the scope of the
transaction will not be able to lock records written by the transaction. However, this behavior can be
overridden by configuring your reader to perform uncommitted reads.

<h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a id="cursorUsage"></a>Cursor Example</h2>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>In <a class="xref" href="dbUsage.html" title="Database Example">Database Example</a> we wrote an
application that loaded two <code class="classname">Database</code> objects with vendor
and inventory information. In this example, we will use those databases to
display all of the items in the inventory database. As a part of showing
any given inventory item, we will look up the vendor who can provide the
item and show the vendor's contact information.</p>
<p>To do this, we create the <code class="classname">ExampleInventoryRead</code>
application. This application reads and displays all inventory records by:</p>
<div class="orderedlist">
<ol type="1">
<li>
<p>Opening the environment and then the inventory, vendor, and
class catalog <code class="classname">Database</code> objects. We do this using the
<code class="classname">MyDbEnv</code> class. See <a class="xref" href="dbtUsage.html#dbenvStoredClass" title="Example 8.4 Stored Class Catalog Management with MyDbEnv">Stored Class Catalog Management with MyDbEnv</a>
for a description of this class.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Obtaining a cursor from the inventory <code class="classname">Database</code>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Steps through the <code class="classname">Database</code>, displaying
each record as it goes.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>To display the Inventory record, the custom tuple binding that
we created in <a class="xref" href="dbtUsage.html#InventoryBinding" title="Example 8.3 InventoryBinding.java">InventoryBinding.java</a> is used.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><code class="methodname">Database.get()</code> is used to obtain the vendor that corresponds to
the inventory item.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>A serial binding is used to convert the
<code class="classname">DatabaseEntry</code> returned
by the <code class="methodname">get()</code> to a Vendor object.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>The contents of the Vendor object are displayed.</p>
</li>
</ol>
</div>
<p>We implemented the <code class="classname">Vendor</code> class in <a class="xref" href="dbtUsage.html#vendor" title="Example 8.2 Vendor.java">Vendor.java</a>. We implemented the
<code class="classname">Inventory</code> class in <a class="xref" href="dbtUsage.html#inventory" title="Example 8.1 Inventory.java">Inventory.java</a>.</p>
<p>The full implementation of <code class="classname">ExampleInventoryRead</code>
can be found in:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting"><span class="emphasis"><em>JE_HOME</em></span>/examples/je/gettingStarted/ExampleInventoryRead.java</pre>
<p>
where <code class="literal"><span class="emphasis"><em>JE_HOME</em></span></code> is the location where you
placed your JE
distribution.
</p>
<div class="example">
<a id="EIR"></a>
<p class="title">
<b>Example 9.1 ExampleInventoryRead.java</b>
</p>
<div class="example-contents">
<p>To begin, we import the necessary classes:</p>
<a id="je_cursor10"></a>
<pre class="programlisting">// file ExampleInventoryRead.java
package je.gettingStarted;
import com.sleepycat.bind.EntryBinding;
import com.sleepycat.bind.serial.SerialBinding;
import com.sleepycat.bind.tuple.TupleBinding;
import com.sleepycat.je.Cursor;
import com.sleepycat.je.DatabaseEntry;
import com.sleepycat.je.DatabaseException;
import com.sleepycat.je.LockMode;
import com.sleepycat.je.OperationStatus;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException; </pre>
<p>Next we declare our class and set up some global variables. Note a
<code class="classname">MyDbEnv</code> object is instantiated here. We can do
this because its constructor never throws an exception. See <a class="xref" href="dbUsage.html" title="Database Example">Database Example</a> for its implementation
details.</p>
<a id="je_cursor11"></a>
<pre class="programlisting">public class ExampleInventoryRead {
private static File myDbEnvPath =
new File("/tmp/JEDB");
// Encapsulates the database environment and databases.
private static MyDbEnv myDbEnv = new MyDbEnv();
private static TupleBinding inventoryBinding;
private static EntryBinding vendorBinding;</pre>
<p>
Next we create the <code class="methodname">ExampleInventoryRead.usage()</code> and
<code class="methodname">ExampleInventoryRead.main()</code> methods.
We perform almost all of our exception handling from <code class="methodname">ExampleInventoryRead.main()</code>, and so we
must catch <code class="classname">DatabaseException</code> because the <code class="literal">com.sleepycat.je.*</code>
APIs throw them.
</p>
<a id="je_cursor12"></a>
<pre class="programlisting"> private static void usage() {
System.out.println("ExampleInventoryRead [-h &lt;env directory&gt;]");
System.exit(0);
}
public static void main(String args[]) {
ExampleInventoryRead eir = new ExampleInventoryRead();
try {
eir.run(args);
} catch (DatabaseException dbe) {
System.err.println("ExampleInventoryRead: " + dbe.toString());
dbe.printStackTrace();
} finally {
myDbEnv.close();
}
System.out.println("All done.");
}</pre>
<p>In <code class="methodname">ExampleInventoryRead.run()</code>, we call <code class="methodname">MyDbEnv.setup()</code> to
open our environment and databases. Then we create the bindings that we need for using our data objects with
<code class="classname">DatabaseEntry</code> objects.
</p>
<a id="je_cursor13"></a>
<pre class="programlisting"> private void run(String args[]) throws DatabaseException {
// Parse the arguments list
parseArgs(args);
myDbEnv.setup(myDbEnvPath, // path to the environment home
true); // is this environment read-only?
// Setup our bindings.
inventoryBinding = new InventoryBinding();
vendorBinding =
new SerialBinding(myDbEnv.getClassCatalog(),
Vendor.class);
showAllInventory();
}</pre>
<p>Now we write the loop that displays the <code class="classname">Inventory</code>
records. We do this by opening a cursor on the inventory database and
iterating over all its contents, displaying each as we go.</p>
<a id="je_cursor14"></a>
<pre class="programlisting"> private void showAllInventory()
throws DatabaseException {
// Get a cursor
Cursor cursor = myDbEnv.getInventoryDB().openCursor(null, null);
// DatabaseEntry objects used for reading records
DatabaseEntry foundKey = new DatabaseEntry();
DatabaseEntry foundData = new DatabaseEntry();
try { // always want to make sure the cursor gets closed.
while (cursor.getNext(foundKey, foundData,
LockMode.DEFAULT) == OperationStatus.SUCCESS) {
Inventory theInventory =
(Inventory)inventoryBinding.entryToObject(foundData);
displayInventoryRecord(foundKey, theInventory);
}
} catch (Exception e) {
System.err.println("Error on inventory cursor:");
System.err.println(e.toString());
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
cursor.close();
}
} </pre>
<p>We use <code class="methodname">ExampleInventoryRead.displayInventoryRecord()</code> to actually show the record. This
method first displays all the relevant information from the retrieved
Inventory object. It then uses the vendor database to retrieve and
display the vendor. Because the vendor database is keyed by vendor name,
and because each inventory object contains this key, it is trivial to
retrieve the appropriate vendor record.</p>
<a id="je_cursor15"></a>
<pre class="programlisting"> private void displayInventoryRecord(DatabaseEntry theKey,
Inventory theInventory)
throws DatabaseException {
DatabaseEntry searchKey = null;
try {
String theSKU = new String(theKey.getData(), "UTF-8");
System.out.println(theSKU + ":");
System.out.println("\t " + theInventory.getItemName());
System.out.println("\t " + theInventory.getCategory());
System.out.println("\t " + theInventory.getVendor());
System.out.println("\t\tNumber in stock: " +
theInventory.getVendorInventory());
System.out.println("\t\tPrice per unit: " +
theInventory.getVendorPrice());
System.out.println("\t\tContact: ");
searchKey =
new DatabaseEntry(theInventory.getVendor().getBytes("UTF-8"));
} catch (IOException willNeverOccur) {}
DatabaseEntry foundVendor = new DatabaseEntry();
if (myDbEnv.getVendorDB().get(null, searchKey, foundVendor,
LockMode.DEFAULT) != OperationStatus.SUCCESS) {
System.out.println("Could not find vendor: " +
theInventory.getVendor() + ".");
System.exit(-1);
} else {
Vendor theVendor =
(Vendor)vendorBinding.entryToObject(foundVendor);
System.out.println("\t\t " + theVendor.getAddress());
System.out.println("\t\t " + theVendor.getCity() + ", " +
theVendor.getState() + " " + theVendor.getZipcode());
System.out.println("\t\t Business Phone: " +
theVendor.getBusinessPhoneNumber());
System.out.println("\t\t Sales Rep: " +
theVendor.getRepName());
System.out.println("\t\t " +
theVendor.getRepPhoneNumber());
}
}</pre>
<p>The remainder of this application provides a utility method used
to parse the command line options. From the perspective of this
document, this is relatively uninteresting. You can see how this is
implemented by looking at:

<p>In Berkeley DB Java Edition, a database is a collection of <span class="emphasis"><em>records</em></span>. Records,
in turn, consist of key/data pairings.
</p>
<p>
Conceptually, you can think of a
<code class="classname">Database</code>
as containing a two-column table where column 1 contains a key and column 2
contains data. Both the key and the data are managed using
<code class="classname">DatabaseEntry</code>
<span>class instances</span>
(see <a class="xref" href="DBEntry.html" title="Chapter 8. Database Records">Database Records</a> for details on this

).
So, fundamentally, using a JE
<code class="classname">Database</code>
involves putting, getting, and deleting database records, which in turns involves efficiently
managing information
<span>encapsulated by </span>
<code class="classname">DatabaseEntry</code>
<span>objects.</span>
The next several chapters of this book are dedicated to those activities.
</p>
<p>
Note that on disk, databases are stored in sequentially numerically
named log files in the directory where the opening
environment is located. JE log files are described
<a class="xref" href="backuprestore.html#databaselogs" title="Databases and Log Files">Databases and Log Files</a>.
</p>
<p>
Also, note that in the previous section of this book, <a class="xref" href="dpl.html" title="Part I. Programming with the Direct Persistence Layer">Programming with the Direct Persistence Layer</a>,
we described the DPL The DPL handles all database management
for you, including creating all primary and secondary databases as is
required by your application. That said, if you are using the DPL
you can access the underlying database for a given index if
necessary. See the Javadoc for the DPL for more information.

You open a database by using the
<code class="methodname">Environment.openDatabase()</code>
method (environments are described in <a class="xref" href="env.html" title="Chapter 2. Database Environments">Database Environments</a>). This
method creates and returns a <code class="classname">Database</code>
object handle.
You must provide <code class="methodname">Environment.openDatabase()</code>
with a database name.
</p>
<p>
You can optionally provide <code class="methodname">Environment.openDatabase()</code>
with a <code class="classname">DatabaseConfig()</code> object.
<code class="classname">DatabaseConfig()</code> allows you to set properties for
the database, such as whether it can be created if it does not currently
exist, whether you are opening it read-only, and whether the database is to support transactions.
</p>
<p>
Note that by default, JE does not create databases if they do not already exist.
To override this behavior, set the <a class="link" href="dbprops.html" title="Database Properties">creation property</a> to true.
</p>
<p>
Finally, if you configured your environment and database to support transactions,
you can optionally provide a transaction object to the
<code class="methodname">Environment.openDatabase()</code>.
Transactions are described in the
<em class="citetitle">Berkeley DB, Java Edition Getting Started with Transaction Processing</em> guide.
</p>
<p>
The following code fragment illustrates a database open:

<h3 class="title"><a id="dwdatabase"></a>Deferred Write Databases</h3>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>
By default, JE database operations that modify the
database are written (logged) at the time of the operation. For transactional
databases, changes become durable when the transaction is committed.
</p>
<p>
However, deferred write databases operations are not written at the time
of the operation. Writing is deferred for as long as possible. The
changes are only guaranteed to be durable after the
<code class="methodname">Database.sync()</code> method
is called or the database is properly closed.
</p>
<p>
Deferring writes in this manner has two performance advantages when performing
database modifications:
</p>
<div class="orderedlist">
<ol type="1">
<li>
<p>
When multiple threads are performing writes, Concurrency is increased
because the bottleneck of writing to the log is avoided.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Less total writing takes place. If a single record is modified more
than once, or modified and deleted, then only the final result must
be written. If a record is inserted and deleted before a
database sync or close occurs, nothing at all is written to disk.
The same advantage holds for writing internal index
information.
</p>
</li>
</ol>
</div>
<p>
Deferred write databases are useful for applications that perform a
great deal of database modifications, record additions, deletions, and
so forth. By delaying the data write, you delay the disk I/O. Depending
on your workload, this can improve your data throughput by quite a lot.
</p>
<p>
While the durability of a deferred write database is only
<span class="emphasis"><em>guaranteed</em></span> when
<code class="methodname">Database.sync()</code>
is called or the database is properly closed, writing may also occur at other times.
For example, a JE checkpoint will effectively perform a
<code class="methodname">Database.sync()</code> on all deferred
write databases that are open at the time of the checkpoint. If you are
using deferred write to load a large data set, and you want to reduce
writing as much as possible during the load, consider disabling the JE checkpointer.
</p>
<p>
Also, if the JE cache overflows as database modifications occur, information discarded
from the cache is written to disk in order to avoid losing the changes. If you wish to reduce this
writing to a minimum, configure your cache to be large enough to hold the entire
data set being modified, or as large as possible.
</p>
<div class="note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;">
<h3 class="title">Note</h3>
<p>
Despite the examples noted in the previous paragraphs, there is no guarantee that changes
to a deferred write database are durable unless <code class="methodname">Database.sync()</code>
is called or the database is closed. If you need guaranteed
durability for an operation, consider using transactions instead of deferred write.
</p>
</div>
<p>
You should also be aware that <code class="methodname">Database.sync()</code> is a
relatively expensive operation because all outstanding changes to the
database are written, including internal index information. If you find
that you are calling <code class="methodname">Database.sync()</code>
frequently, consider using transactions.
</p>
<p>
All other rules of behavior pertain to deferred write databases
as they do to normal databases. Deferred write databases must be
named and created just as you would a normal database. If you want to
delete the deferred write database, you must remove it just as
you would a normal database. This is true even if the deferred
write database is empty because its name persists in the
environment's namespace until such a time as the database is
removed.
</p>
<p>
Note that determining whether a database is deferred write is a
configuration option. It is therefore possible to switch a
database between "normal" mode and deferred write database. You
might want to do this if, for example, you want to load a lot
of data to the database. In this case, loading data to the
database while it is in deferred write state is faster than
in "normal" state, because you can avoid a lot of the normal disk
I/O overhead during the load process. Once the load is
complete, sync the database, close it, and and then reopen it
as a normal database. You can then continue operations
as if the database had been created as a "normal" database.
</p>
<p>
To configure a database as deferred write, set
<code class="methodname">DatabaseConfig.setDeferredWrite()</code>
to <code class="literal">true</code> and then open the database with
that <code class="classname">DatabaseConfig</code> option.
</p>
<div class="note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;">
<h3 class="title">Note</h3>
<p>
If you are using the DPL, then you configure your entire
store to be deferred write using
<code class="methodname">StoreConfig.setDeferredWrite()</code>.
You can also sync every database in your store using
<code class="methodname">EntityStore.sync()</code>.
</p>
</div>
<p>
For example, the following code fragment opens and closes a
deferred write database:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">package je.gettingStarted;
import com.sleepycat.je.Database;
import com.sleepycat.je.DatabaseConfig;
import com.sleepycat.je.DatabaseException;
import com.sleepycat.je.Environment;
import com.sleepycat.je.EnvironmentConfig;
import java.io.File;
...
Environment myDbEnvironment = null;
Database myDatabase = null;
...
try {
// Open the environment. Create it if it does not already exist.
EnvironmentConfig envConfig = new EnvironmentConfig();
envConfig.setAllowCreate(true);
myDbEnvironment = new Environment(new File("/export/dbEnv"),
envConfig);
// Open the database. Create it if it does not already exist.
DatabaseConfig dbConfig = new DatabaseConfig();
dbConfig.setAllowCreate(true);
// Make it deferred write
dbConfig.setDeferredWrite(true);
myDatabase = myDbEnvironment.openDatabase(null,
"sampleDatabase",
dbConfig);
...
// do work
...
// Do this when you want the work to be persistent at a
// specific point, prior to closing the database.
myDatabase.sync();
// then close the database and environment here
// (described later in this chapter).
} catch (DatabaseException dbe) {
// Exception handling goes here
}</pre>
</div>
<div class="sect2" lang="en" xml:lang="en">
<div class="titlepage">
<div>
<div>
<h3 class="title"><a id="tempdbje"></a>Temporary Databases</h3>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>
By default, all JE databases are durable; that is, the data that you put in them
will remain in them across program runs, unless you explicitly delete the data.
However, it is possible to configure a
<span class="emphasis"><em>temporary</em></span> database that is not durable. A temporary database is
automatically deleted when it is closed or after a crash occurs.
</p>
<p>
Temporary databases are essentially in-memory only databases. Therefore,
they are particularly useful for applications that want databases which
are truly temporary.
</p>
<p>
Note that temporary databases do not always avoid disk I/O. It is particularly
important to realize that temporary databases can page to disk if the cache is not
large enough to hold the database's entire contents. Therefore, temporary database
performance is best when your in-memory cache is large enough to hold the database's
entire data-set.
</p>
<p>
A temporary database operates internally in deferred write mode and has
the same performance advantages as described above for deferred write
databases (see <a class="xref" href="databases.html#dwdatabase" title="Deferred Write Databases">Deferred Write Databases</a>).
However, unlike deferred write databases, a temporary database is not written
during checkpoints and this provides an additional performance advantage.
</p>
<p>
Temporary databases must be named and created just as you would a normal database.
To configure a database as temporary, set
<code class="methodname">DatabaseConfig.setTemporary</code> to
<code class="literal">true</code> and then open the database with that
<code class="classname">DatabaseConfig</code> instance.
</p>
<p>
For example:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">package je.gettingStarted;
import com.sleepycat.je.Database;
import com.sleepycat.je.DatabaseConfig;
import com.sleepycat.je.DatabaseException;
import com.sleepycat.je.Environment;

import java.io.File;
...
Environment myDbEnvironment = null;
Database myDatabase = null;
...
try {
// Open the environment. Create it if it does not already exist.
EnvironmentConfig envConfig = new EnvironmentConfig();
envConfig.setAllowCreate(true);
myDbEnvironment = new Environment(new File("/export/dbEnv"),
envConfig);
// Open the database. Create it if it does not already exist.
DatabaseConfig dbConfig = new DatabaseConfig();
dbConfig.setAllowCreate(true);
// Make it a temporary database
dbConfig.setTemporary(true);
myDatabase = myDbEnvironment.openDatabase(null,
"sampleDatabase",
dbConfig);
...
// do work
...
// then close the database and environment here
// (see the next section)
} catch (DatabaseException dbe) {
// Exception handling goes here
}</pre>
</div>
<div class="sect2" lang="en" xml:lang="en">
<div class="titlepage">
<div>
<div>
<h3 class="title"><a id="dbclose"></a>Closing Databases</h3>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>Once you are done using the database, you must close it. You use the
<code class="methodname">Database.close()</code> method to do this.</p>
<p>Closing a database causes it to become unusable until it is opened
again. If any cursors are opened for the database,
JE warns you about the open cursors, and then closes them for you.
Active cursors during a database
close can cause unexpected results, especially if any of those cursors are
writing to the database in another thread. You should always make sure that all your
database accesses have completed before closing your database.</p>
<p>It is recommended that you close all your
databases before closing the environment to which they belong.</p>
<p>Cursors are described in <a class="xref" href="Cursors.html" title="Chapter 9. Using Cursors">Using Cursors</a> later in this manual.</p>

<p>In <a class="xref" href="dbenvUsageExample.html" title="Database Environment Management Example">Database Environment Management Example</a> we created a class that manages an
<code class="classname">Environment</code>. We now extend that class to allow it
to open and manage multiple databases. Again, remember that you can find
this class in:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting"><span class="emphasis"><em>JE_HOME</em></span>/je/gettingStarted/MyDbEnv.java</pre>

where <code class="literal"><span class="emphasis"><em>JE_HOME</em></span></code> is the location where you

<div class="example">
<a id="mydbenvWDatabase"></a>
<p class="title">
<b>Example 7.1 Database Management with MyDbEnv</b>
</p>
<div class="example-contents">
<p>First, we need to import a few additional classes, and setup some global variables to support databases.
The databases that we are configuring and creating here are used by applications developed in examples later in this guide.</p>
<a id="je_db10"></a>
<pre class="programlisting">// File MyDbEnv.java
package je.gettingStarted;

public MyDbEnv() {} </pre>
<p>
Next we need to update the <code class="methodname">MyDbEnv.setup()</code> method to instantiate a
<code class="classname">DatabaseConfig</code> object. We also need to set some properties on that object. These property
values are determined by the value of the <code class="literal">readOnly</code> parameter. We want our databases to be
read-only if the environment is also read-only. We also want to allow our databases to be created if the databases
are not read-only.
</p>
<a id="je_db11"></a>
<pre class="programlisting"> public void setup(File envHome, boolean readOnly)
throws DatabaseException {
// Instantiate an environment <strong class="userinput"><code>and database</code></strong> configuration object

vendorDb = myEnv.openDatabase(null,
"VendorDB",
myDbConfig);
inventoryDb = myEnv.openDatabase(null,
"InventoryDB",
myDbConfig);</code></strong>
} </pre>
<p>
Next we need some additional getter methods used to return our database handles.
</p>
<a id="je_db12"></a>
<pre class="programlisting"> // Getter methods
public Environment getEnvironment() {
return myEnv;
}
<strong class="userinput"><code>public Database getVendorDB() {

<p>
Finally, we need to update the <code class="methodname">MyDbEnv.close()</code> method to close our databases.
</p>
<a id="je_db13"></a>
<pre class="programlisting"> // Close the environment
public void close() {

<p>
This example provides a complete class that can open and close an environment. It is
both extended and used in subsequent examples in this book to open and close both
environments and databases. We do this so as to make the example code
shorter and easier to manage. You can find this class in:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting"><span class="emphasis"><em>JE_HOME</em></span>/examples/je/gettingStarted/MyDbEnv.java</pre>
<p>
where <code class="literal"><span class="emphasis"><em>JE_HOME</em></span></code> is the location where you
placed your JE distribution.
</p>
<div class="example">
<a id="mydbenv"></a>
<p class="title">
<b>Example 2.1 Database Environment Management Class</b>
</p>
<div class="example-contents">
<p>First we write the normal class declarations. We also set up some
private data members that are used to manage environment creation. We
use the class constructor to instantiate the <code class="classname">EnvironmentConfig</code>
object that is used to configure our environment when we open it.</p>
<a id="je_env6"></a>
<pre class="programlisting">// File MyDbEnv.java
package je.gettingStarted;

private Environment myEnv;
public MyDbEnv() {} </pre>
<p>Next we need a method to open the environment. This is responsible
for instantiating our <code class="classname">Environment</code> object.
Remember that instantiation is what opens the environment (or creates it
if the creation property is set to <code class="literal">true</code> and the
environment does not currently exist).
</p>
<a id="je_env7"></a>
<pre class="programlisting"> public void setup(File envHome, boolean readOnly)
throws DatabaseException {
// Instantiate an environment configuration object
EnvironmentConfig myEnvConfig = new EnvironmentConfig();
// Configure the environment for the read-only state as identified
// by the readOnly parameter on this method call.
myEnvConfig.setReadOnly(readOnly);
// If the environment is opened for write, then we want to be
// able to create the environment if it does not exist.
myEnvConfig.setAllowCreate(!readOnly);
// Instantiate the Environment. This opens it and also possibly
// creates it.
myEnv = new Environment(envHome, myEnvConfig);
} </pre>
<p>
Next we provide a getter method that allows us to retrieve the
<code class="classname">Environment</code> directly. This is needed for later
examples in this guide.
</p>
<a id="je_env8"></a>
<pre class="programlisting"> // Getter methods
public Environment getEnv() {

<p>Finally, we need a method to close our <code class="classname">Environment</code>.

be used gracefully in a <code class="literal">finally</code> statement.</p>

This completes the <code class="classname">MyDbEnv</code> class. While not particularly useful
as it currently exists, we will build upon it throughout this book so that it will
eventually open and close all of the entity stores or databases required by our
applications.
</p>
<p>
We can now use <code class="classname">MyDbEnv</code> to open and close a database environment
from the appropriate place in our application. For example:

<h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a id="dbprops"></a>Database Properties</h2>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>You can set database properties using the <code class="classname">DatabaseConfig</code>
class. For each of the properties that you can set, there is a
corresponding getter method. Also, you can always retrieve the
<code class="classname">DatabaseConfig</code> object used by your database using
the <code class="methodname">Database.getConfig()</code> method.</p>
<p>The database properties that you can set are:</p>
<div class="itemizedlist">
<ul type="disc">
<li>
<p>
<code class="methodname">DatabaseConfig.setAllowCreate()</code>
</p>
<p>If <code class="literal">true</code>, the database is created when it is
opened. If false, the database open fails if the database does not
exist. This property has no meaning if the database currently exists.
Default is <code class="literal">false</code>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
<code class="methodname">DatabaseConfig.setBtreeComparator()</code>
</p>
<p>Sets the class that is used to compare the keys found on two
database records. This class is used to determine the sort order for
two records in the database. By default, byte for byte comparison is
used.
For more information, see
<span><a class="xref" href="comparator.html" title="Using Comparators">Using Comparators</a>.</span>
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
<code class="methodname">DatabaseConfig.setDuplicateComparator()</code>
</p>
<p>
Sets the class that is used to compare two duplicate records in
the database. For more information, see
<span><a class="xref" href="comparator.html" title="Using Comparators">Using Comparators</a>.</span>
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
<code class="methodname">DatabaseConfig.setSortedDuplicates()</code>
</p>
<p>If <code class="literal">true</code>, duplicate records are allowed in the
database. If this value is <code class="literal">false</code>, then putting a duplicate record into the database
results in an error return from the put call.
Note that this property can be set only at database creation time. Default is <code class="literal">false</code>.
</p>
<p>
Note that your database must not support duplicates if it is to be associated with one or more
secondary indices. Secondaries are described in <a class="xref" href="indexes.html" title="Chapter 10. Secondary Databases">Secondary Databases</a>.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
<code class="methodname">DatabaseConfig.setExclusiveCreate()</code>
</p>
<p>If <code class="literal">true</code>, the database open fails if the
database currently exists. That is, the open must result in the
creation of a new database. Default is <code class="literal">false</code>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
<code class="methodname">DatabaseConfig.setReadOnly()</code>
</p>
<p>If true, the database is opened for read activities only.
Default is <code class="literal">false</code>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
<code class="methodname">DatabaseConfig.setTransactional()</code>
</p>
<p>If true, the database supports transactions.
Default is <code class="literal">false</code>. Note that a database cannot support
transactions if the environment is non-transactional.</p>
</li>
</ul>

</div>
<p>In <a class="xref" href="dbUsage.html" title="Database Example">Database Example</a>, we created
<code class="classname">MyDbEnv</code>, a class that manages
<code class="classname">DatabaseEnvironment</code> and <code class="classname">Database</code>
opens and closes. We will now write an application that takes advantage of
this class to open databases, put a series of records in them, and then
close the databases and environment.</p>
<p>Remember that all of the classes and programs presented here can be
found in the following directory:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting"><span class="emphasis"><em>JE_HOME</em></span>/examples/je/gettingStarted</pre>
<p>
where <code class="literal"><span class="emphasis"><em>JE_HOME</em></span></code> is the location where you
placed your JE distribution.
</p>
<p>Note that in this example, we are going to save two types of
information. First there are a series of inventory records that identify
information about some food items (fruits, vegetables, and desserts).
These records identify particulars about each item such as the vendor that
the item can be obtained from, how much the vendor has in stock, the price
per unit, and so forth.</p>
<p>
We also want to manage vendor contact information, such as the
vendor's address and phone number, the sales representative's name
and his phone number, and so forth.
</p>
<div class="example">
<a id="inventory"></a>
<p class="title">
<b>Example 8.1 Inventory.java</b>
</p>
<div class="example-contents">
<p>
All Inventory data is encapsulated in an instance of the following
class. Note that because this class is not serializable, we need a
custom tuple binding in order to place it on a <code class="classname">DatabaseEntry</code>
object. Because the <code class="classname">TupleInput</code> and
<code class="classname">TupleOutput</code> classes used by custom tuple bindings
support Java numerical types and not Java numerical classes, we use
<code class="literal">int</code> and <code class="literal">float</code> here instead of the
corresponding <code class="classname">Integer</code> and <code class="classname">Float</code>
classes.

Because we will not be using serialization to convert our

<br class="example-break" />
<p>In order to store the data identified above, we write the
<code class="classname">ExampleDatabasePut</code> application. This application
loads the inventory and vendor databases for you.</p>
<p>Inventory information is stored in a <code class="classname">Database</code>
dedicated for that purpose. The key for each such record is a product SKU.
The inventory data stored in this database are objects of the
<code class="classname">Inventory</code> class (see <a class="xref" href="dbtUsage.html#inventory" title="Example 8.1 Inventory.java">Inventory.java</a> for more information).
<code class="classname">ExampleDatabasePut</code> loads the inventory database
as follows:</p>
<div class="orderedlist">
<ol type="1">
<li>
<p>Reads the inventory data from a flat text file prepared in
advance for this purpose.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Uses <code class="classname">java.lang.String</code> to create a key
based on the item's SKU.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Uses an <code class="classname">Inventory</code> class instance for the
record data. This object is stored on a <code class="classname">DatabaseEntry</code>
object using <code class="classname">InventoryBinding</code>, a custom tuple
binding that we implemented above.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Saves each record to the inventory database.</p>
</li>
</ol>
</div>
<p>Vendor information is also stored in a <code class="classname">Database</code>
dedicated for that purpose. The vendor data stored in this database are objects of the
<code class="classname">Vendor</code> class (see <a class="xref" href="dbtUsage.html#vendor" title="Example 8.2 Vendor.java">Vendor.java</a> for more information). To load this
<code class="classname">Database</code>, <code class="classname">ExampleDatabasePut</code>
does the following:</p>
<div class="orderedlist">
<ol type="1">
<li>
<p>Reads the vendor data from a flat text file prepared in advance

</li>
<li>
<p>Uses the vendor's name as the record's key.</p>

<li>
<p>Uses a <code class="classname">Vendor</code> class instance for the

<p class="title">
<b>Example 8.4 Stored Class Catalog Management with MyDbEnv</b>
</p>
<div class="example-contents">
<p>
Before we can write <code class="classname">ExampleDatabasePut</code>, we need to update
<code class="filename">MyDbEnv.java</code> to support the class catalogs that we need for this application.
</p>
<p>
To do this, we start by importing an additional class to support stored class catalogs:
</p>
<a id="je_dbt19"></a>
<pre class="programlisting">// File MyDbEnv.java
package je.gettingStarted;
import com.sleepycat.je.Database;
import com.sleepycat.je.DatabaseConfig;
import com.sleepycat.je.DatabaseException;
import com.sleepycat.je.EnvironmentConfig;
import com.sleepycat.je.Environment;
import java.io.File;
<strong class="userinput"><code>import com.sleepycat.bind.serial.StoredClassCatalog;</code></strong> </pre>
<p>
We also need to add two additional private data members to this class. One supports the database used for the class
catalog, and the other is used as a handle for the class catalog itself.
</p>
<a id="je_dbt20"></a>
<pre class="programlisting">public class MyDbEnv {
private Environment myEnv;
private Database vendorDb;
private Database inventoryDb;
<strong class="userinput"><code>private Database classCatalogDb;
// Needed for object serialization
private StoredClassCatalog classCatalog;</code></strong>
public MyDbEnv() {} </pre>
<p>
Next we need to update the <code class="methodname">MyDbEnv.setup()</code> method to open the class catalog database and
create the class catalog.
</p>
<a id="je_dbt21"></a>
<pre class="programlisting"> public void setup(File envHome, boolean readOnly)
throws DatabaseException {
...
// Database and environment configuration omitted for brevity
...
// Instantiate the Environment. This opens it and also possibly
// creates it.
myEnv = new Environment(envHome, myEnvConfig);
// Now create and open our databases.
vendorDb = myEnv.openDatabase(null, "VendorDB", myDbConfig);
inventoryDb = myEnv.openDatabase(null, "InventoryDB", myDbConfig);
<strong class="userinput"><code>// Open the class catalog db. This is used to
// optimize class serialization.
classCatalogDb =
myEnv.openDatabase(null,
"ClassCatalogDB",
myDbConfig);
// Create our class catalog
classCatalog = new StoredClassCatalog(classCatalogDb);</code></strong>
} </pre>
<p>
Next we need a getter method to return the class catalog. Note that we do not provide a getter for
the catalog database itself our application has no need for that.
</p>
<a id="je_dbt22"></a>
<pre class="programlisting">// Getter methods
public Environment getEnvironment() {
return myEnv;
}
public Database getVendorDB() {
return vendorDb;
}
public Database getInventoryDB() {
return inventoryDb;
}
<strong class="userinput"><code>public StoredClassCatalog getClassCatalog() {
return classCatalog;
}</code></strong> </pre>
<p>
Finally, we need to update the <code class="methodname">MyDbEnv.close()</code> method to close the
class catalog database.
</p>
<a id="je_dbt23"></a>
<pre class="programlisting"> // Close the environment
public void close() {
if (myEnv != null) {
try {
vendorDb.close();
inventoryDb.close();
<strong class="userinput"><code>classCatalogDb.close()</code></strong>
myEnv.close();
} catch(DatabaseException dbe) {
System.err.println("Error closing MyDbEnv: " +
dbe.toString());
System.exit(-1);
}
}
}
}</pre>
</div>
</div>
<br class="example-break" />
<p>
So far we have identified the data that we want to store in our
databases and how we will convert that data in and out of
<code class="classname">DatabaseEntry</code> objects for database storage. We
have also updated <code class="classname">MyDbEnv</code> to manage our databases
for us. Now we write <code class="classname">ExampleDatabasePut</code> to
actually put the inventory and vendor data into their respective
databases. Because of the work that we have done so far, this
application is actually fairly simple to write.
</p>
<div class="example">
<a id="EDP"></a>
<p class="title">
<b>Example 8.5 ExampleDatabasePut.java</b>
</p>
<div class="example-contents">
<p>First we need the usual series of import statements:</p>
<a id="je_dbt24"></a>
<pre class="programlisting">//File ExampleDatabasePut.java
package je.gettingStarted;
// Bind classes used to move class objects in an out of byte arrays.
import com.sleepycat.bind.EntryBinding;

// Standard JE database imports
import com.sleepycat.je.DatabaseEntry;
import com.sleepycat.je.DatabaseException;
// Most of this is used for loading data from a text file for storage

import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;</pre>
<p>Next comes the class declaration and the private data members that
we need for this class. Most of these are setting up default values for
the program.</p>
<p>Note that two <code class="classname">DatabaseEntry</code> objects are
instantiated here. We will reuse these for every database operation that
this program performs. Also a <code class="classname">MyDbEnv</code> object is
instantiated here. We can do this because its constructor never throws
an exception. See <a class="xref" href="dbtUsage.html#dbenvStoredClass" title="Example 8.4 Stored Class Catalog Management with MyDbEnv">Stored Class Catalog Management with MyDbEnv</a> for
its implementation details.</p>
<p>Finally, the <code class="filename">inventory.txt</code> and
<code class="filename">vendors.txt</code> file can be found in the GettingStarted
examples directory along with the classes described in this extended
example.</p>
<a id="je_dbt25"></a>
<pre class="programlisting">public class ExampleDatabasePut {
private static File myDbEnvPath = new File("/tmp/JEDB");

private static DatabaseEntry theKey = new DatabaseEntry();
private static DatabaseEntry theData = new DatabaseEntry();
// Encapsulates the environment and databases.
private static MyDbEnv myDbEnv = new MyDbEnv();</pre>
<p>
Next comes the <code class="methodname">usage()</code> and
<code class="methodname">main()</code> methods. Notice the exception handling
in the <code class="methodname">main()</code> method. This is the only place in the application where we
catch exceptions. For this reason, we must catch
<code class="classname">DatabaseException</code> which is thrown by the
<code class="literal">com.sleepycat.je.*</code> classes.
</p>
<p>Also notice the call to <code class="methodname">MyDbEnv.close()</code>
in the <code class="literal">finally</code> block. This is the only place in the
application where <code class="methodname">MyDbEnv.close()</code> is called.
<code class="methodname">MyDbEnv.close()</code> is responsible for closing the
<code class="classname">Environment</code> and all open <code class="classname">Database</code>
handles for you.</p>
<a id="je_dbt26"></a>
<pre class="programlisting"> private static void usage() {
System.out.println("ExampleDatabasePut [-h &lt;env directory&gt;]");
System.out.println(" [-s &lt;selections file&gt;]");

e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
myDbEnv.close();
}
System.out.println("All done.");
} </pre>
<p>Next we write the <code class="methodname">ExampleDatabasePut.run()</code>
method. This method is responsible for initializing all objects.
Because our environment and databases are all opened using the
<code class="methodname">MyDbEnv.setup()</code> method, <code class="methodname">ExampleDatabasePut.run()</code>
method is only responsible for calling <code class="methodname">MyDbEnv.setup()</code> and then calling
the <code class="classname">ExampleDatabasePut</code> methods that actually load the databases.

<a id="je_dbt27"></a>
<pre class="programlisting"> private void run(String args[]) throws DatabaseException {

<p>
You can control the maximum amount of disk space that JE can use by setting two different
threshold values. If JE exceeds either of these threshold values, writes will no longer
be allowed to the database. Instead, when a write is attempted, <a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/DiskLimitException.html" target="_top">DiskLimitException</a> is thrown.
The thresholds you can set are:
</p>
<div class="itemizedlist">
<ul type="disc">
<li>
<p>
<a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/EnvironmentConfig.html#MAX_DISK" target="_top">EnvironmentConfig.MAX_DISK</a>
</p>
<p>
Specifies an upper limit on the total number of bytes that can be used for data storage.
By default, this property is set to <code class="literal">0</code>, which means no upper
limit is enforced. Instead, the value set for <a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/EnvironmentConfig.html#FREE_DISK" target="_top">EnvironmentConfig.FREE_DISK</a> will control your
how much disk space your database is allowed to consume.
</p>
<p>
If multiple JE environments share the same storage volume, Oracle recommends that you
set <a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/EnvironmentConfig.html#MAX_DISK" target="_top">EnvironmentConfig.MAX_DISK</a> to a non-zero value, especially if an external application or service is
also consuming space on the disk volume.
</p>
<p>
This value can be managed using the <a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/EnvironmentMutableConfig.html#setMaxDisk-long-" target="_top">EnvironmentMutableConfig.setMaxDisk()</a> method.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
<a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/EnvironmentConfig.html#FREE_DISK" target="_top">EnvironmentConfig.FREE_DISK</a>
</p>
<p>
Specifies the minimum amount of free space to maintain on the disk volume. The
default value is 5 GB, which is large enough to allow manual recovery if the
free space threshold is exceeded.
</p>
<p>
If <a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/EnvironmentConfig.html#MAX_DISK" target="_top">EnvironmentConfig.MAX_DISK</a> is set to <code class="literal">0</code>, then the total amount of
space your JE database can consume is:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">&lt;disk_size&gt; - &lt;FREE_DISK&gt;</pre>
<p>
So for a 300 GB volume and a free disk size of 5 GB, your database can grow
to consume 295 GB.
</p>
<p>
If <a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/EnvironmentConfig.html#MAX_DISK" target="_top">EnvironmentConfig.MAX_DISK</a> is set to a non-zero value, then the total amount of space
your JE database can consume is:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">&lt;MAX_DISK&gt; - &lt;FREE_DISK&gt;</pre>
<p>
So for the same 300 GB volume, if max disk is 100 GB and free disk is 5 GB, then
your database can consume at most 95 GB.
</p>
<p>
Be aware that the subtraction shown, above, is performed only if <a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/EnvironmentConfig.html#FREE_DISK" target="_top">EnvironmentConfig.FREE_DISK</a> is explicitly
set or <a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/EnvironmentConfig.html#MAX_DISK" target="_top">EnvironmentConfig.MAX_DISK</a> is greater than 10GB. See the <a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/EnvironmentConfig.html#FREE_DISK" target="_top">EnvironmentConfig.FREE_DISK</a> Javadoc for more information.

This section discusses how to build an
application using the DPL. The DPL is ideally
suited for those applications that want a
mechanism for storing and managing Java class
objects in a JE database. Note that the DPL
is best suited for applications that work with
classes with a relatively static schema.
</p>
<p>
The DPL requires Java 1.5.
</p>
<p>
If you are porting an application
from the Berkeley DB API, then you probably want
to use the base API instead of the DPL. For
information on using the base API, see
<a class="xref" href="baseapi.html" title="Part II. Programming with the Base API">Programming with the Base API</a>.

</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>
The simplest way to remove an object from your entity store
is to delete it by its primary index. For example,
using the <code class="classname">SimpleDA</code> class that we
created earlier in this document
(see <a class="xref" href="simpleda.html" title="SimpleDA.class">SimpleDA.class</a>),
you can delete the <code class="classname">SimpleEntityClass</code>
object with a primary key of <code class="literal">keyone</code> as
follows:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">sda.pIdx.delete("keyone");</pre>
<p>
You can also delete objects by their secondary keys. When
you do this, all objects related to the secondary key are
deleted, unless the key is a foreign object.
</p>
<p>
For example, the following deletes all
<code class="classname">SimpleEntityClass</code> with a secondary
key of <code class="literal">skeyone</code>:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">sda.sIdx.delete("skeyone");</pre>
<p>
You can delete any single object by positioning a cursor to
that object and then calling the cursor's
<code class="methodname">delete()</code> method.
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">PrimaryIndex&lt;String,SimpleEntityClass&gt; pi =
store.getPrimaryIndex(String.class, SimpleEntityClass.class);
SecondaryIndex&lt;String,String,SimpleEntityClass&gt; si =
store.getSecondaryIndex(pi, String.class, "sKey");
EntityCursor&lt;SimpleEntityClass&gt; sec_cursor =
si.subIndex("skeyone").entities();
try {
SimpleEntityClass sec;
Iterator&lt;SimpleEntityClass&gt; i = sec_cursor.iterator();
while (sec = i.nextDup() != null) {
if (sec.getSKey() == "some value") {
i.delete();
}
}
// Always make sure the cursor is closed when we are done with it.
} finally {
sec_cursor.close(); } </pre>
<p>
Finally, if you are indexing by foreign key, then the
results of deleting the key is determined by the foreign
key constraint that you have set for the index. See
<a class="xref" href="dplindexcreate.html#foreignkey" title="Foreign Key Constraints">Foreign Key Constraints</a>
for more information.

<p>
If you have two or more secondary indexes set for
an entity object, then you can retrieve sets of
objects based on the intersection of multiple
secondary index values. You do this using an
<code class="classname">EntityJoin</code>
class.
</p>
<p>
For example, suppose you had an entity class that
represented automobiles. In that case, you might
be storing information about automobiles such as
color, number of doors, fuel mileage,
automobile type, number of passengers, make, model, and year,
to name just a few.
</p>
<p>
If you created a secondary index based this
information, then you could use an
<code class="classname">EntityJoin</code> to return
all those objects representing cars with, say, two
doors, that were built in 2002, and which are green
in color.
</p>
<p>
To create a join cursor, you:
</p>
<div class="orderedlist">
<ol type="1">
<li>
<p>
Open the primary index for the
entity class on which you want to
perform the join.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Open the secondary indexes that you
want to use for the join.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Instantiate an
<code class="classname">EntityJoin</code>
object (you use the primary index
to do this).
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Use two or more calls to
<code class="methodname">EntityJoin.addCondition()</code>
to identify the secondary indexes
and their values that you want to use
for the equality match.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Call
<code class="methodname">EntityJoin.entities()</code>
to obtain a cursor that you can use
to iterate over the join results.
</p>
</li>
</ol>
</div>
<p>
For example, suppose we had an entity class
that included the following features:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">package persist.gettingStarted;
import com.sleepycat.persist.model.Entity;
import com.sleepycat.persist.model.PrimaryKey;
import static com.sleepycat.persist.model.Relationship.*;
import com.sleepycat.persist.model.SecondaryKey;
@Entity
public class Automobiles {
// Primary key is the vehicle identification number
@PrimaryKey
private String vin;
// Secondary key is the vehicle's make
@SecondaryKey(relate=MANY_TO_ONE)
private String make;
// Secondary key is the vehicle's color
@SecondaryKey(relate=MANY_TO_ONE)
private String color;
...
public String getVIN() {
return vin;
}
public String getMake() {
return make;
}
public String getColor() {
return color;
}
... </pre>
<p>
Then we could perform an entity join that searches for all the
red automobiles made by Toyota as follows:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">
PrimaryIndex&lt;String,Automobiles&gt; vin_pidx;
SecondaryIndex&lt;String,String,Automobiles&gt; make_sidx;
SecondaryIndex&lt;String,String,Automobiles&gt; color_sidx;
EntityJoin&lt;String,Automobiles&gt; join = new EntityJoin(vin_pidx);
join.addCondition(make_sidx,"Toyota");
join.addCondition(color_sidx,"Red");
// Now iterate over the results of the join operation
ForwardCursor&lt;Automobiles&gt; join_cursor = join.entities();
try {
for (Automobiles autoi : join_cursor) {
// do something with each object "autoi"
}
// Always make sure the cursor is closed when we are done with it.
} finally {
join_cursor.close();
} </pre>

In order to illustrate DPL usage, we provide a
complete working example in this chapter. This example
reads and writes inventory and vendor information for a
mythical business. The application consists of the
following classes:
</p>
<div class="itemizedlist">
<ul type="disc">
<li>
<p>
Several classes used to encapsulate our
application's data. See
<a class="xref" href="dpl_example.html#vendorclass" title="Vendor.java">Vendor.java</a>
and
<a class="xref" href="inventoryclass.html" title="Inventory.java">Inventory.java</a>.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
A convenience class used to open and close
our environment and entity store. See
<a class="xref" href="mydbenv-persist.html" title="MyDbEnv">MyDbEnv</a>.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
A class that loads data into the store. See
<a class="xref" href="dpl_exampledatabaseput.html" title="ExampleDatabasePut.java">ExampleDatabasePut.java</a>.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Finally, a class that reads data from the
store. See
<a class="xref" href="dpl_exampleinventoryread.html" title="ExampleInventoryRead.java">ExampleInventoryRead.java</a>.
</p>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<p>
Be aware that this example can be found in your JE distribution in
the following location:
</p>
<p>
<span class="emphasis"><em>JE_HOME</em></span>/examples/persist/gettingStarted
</p>
<p>
where <code class="literal"><span class="emphasis"><em>JE_HOME</em></span></code> is the location where you
placed your JE distribution.

<h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a id="vendorclass"></a>Vendor.java</h2>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>
The simplest class that our example wants to store contains
vendor contact information. This class contains no
secondary indices so all we have to do is identify it
as an entity class and identify the field in the
class used for the primary key.
</p>
<p>
In the following example, we identify the
<code class="literal">vendor</code> data member as containing the
primary key. This data member is meant to contain a
vendor's name. Because of the way we will use our
<code class="classname">EntityStore</code>, the value
provided for this data member must be unique within
the store or runtime errors will result.
</p>
<p>
When used with the DPL, our
<code class="classname">Vendor</code> class appears as
follows. Notice that the <code class="literal">@Entity</code>
annotation appears immediately before the class
declaration, and the <code class="literal">@PrimaryKey</code>
annotation appears immediately before the
<code class="literal">vendor</code> data member declaration.
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">package persist.gettingStarted;
import com.sleepycat.persist.model.Entity;
import com.sleepycat.persist.model.PrimaryKey;
@Entity
public class Vendor {
private String address;
private String bizPhoneNumber;
private String city;
private String repName;
private String repPhoneNumber;
private String state;
// Primary key is the vendor's name
// This assumes that the vendor's name is
// unique in the database.
@PrimaryKey
private String vendor;
private String zipcode;
public void setRepName(String data) {
repName = data;
}
public void setAddress(String data) {
address = data;
}
public void setCity(String data) {
city = data;
}
public void setState(String data) {
state = data;
}
public void setZipcode(String data) {
zipcode = data;
}
public void setBusinessPhoneNumber(String data) {
bizPhoneNumber = data;
}
public void setRepPhoneNumber(String data) {
repPhoneNumber = data;
}
public void setVendorName(String data) {
vendor = data;
}
public String getRepName() {
return repName;
}
public String getAddress() {
return address;
}
public String getCity() {
return city;
}
public String getState() {
return state;
}
public String getZipcode() {
return zipcode;
}
public String getBusinessPhoneNumber() {
return bizPhoneNumber;
}
public String getRepPhoneNumber() {
return repPhoneNumber;
}
} </pre>
<p>
For this class, the <code class="literal">vendor</code> value is set for an individual
<code class="classname">Vendor</code> class object by
the <code class="methodname">setVendorName()</code>
method. If our example code fails to set this
value before storing the object, the data
member used to store the primary key is set to a
null value. This would result in a runtime
error.

<p>
Our example reads inventory and vendor information from
flat text files, encapsulates this data in objects of
the appropriate type, and then writes each object to an
<code class="classname">EntityStore</code>.
</p>
<p>
To begin, we import the Java classes that our example
needs. Most of the imports are related to reading the raw
data from flat text files and breaking them apart for usage
with our data classes. We also import classes from the
JE package, but we do not actually import any classes
from the DPL. The reason why is because we have
placed almost all of our DPL work off into
other classes, so there is no need for direct usage of
those APIs here.
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">package persist.gettingStarted;
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
import com.sleepycat.je.DatabaseException; </pre>
<p>
Now we can begin the class itself. Here we set default paths
for the on-disk resources that we require (the environment
home, and the location of the text files containing our sample
data). We also declare <code class="classname">DataAccessor</code>
and <code class="classname">MyDbEnv</code> members. We describe these
classes and show their implementation in
<a class="xref" href="dataaccessorclass.html" title="DataAccessor.java">DataAccessor.java</a>
and
<a class="xref" href="mydbenv-persist.html" title="MyDbEnv">MyDbEnv</a>.
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">public class ExampleDatabasePut {
private static File myDbEnvPath = new File("/tmp/JEDB");
private static File inventoryFile = new File("./inventory.txt");
private static File vendorsFile = new File("./vendors.txt");
private DataAccessor da;
// Encapsulates the environment and data store.
private static MyDbEnv myDbEnv = new MyDbEnv();</pre>
<p>
Next, we provide our <code class="methodname">usage()</code>
method. The command line options provided there are necessary
only if the default values to the on-disk resources are not
sufficient.
</p>
<pre class="programlisting"> private static void usage() {
System.out.println("ExampleDatabasePut [-h &lt;env directory&gt;]");
System.out.println(" [-i &lt;inventory file&gt;]");
System.out.println(" [-v &lt;vendors file&gt;]");
System.exit(-1);
} </pre>
<p>
Our <code class="methodname">main()</code> method is also reasonably
self-explanatory. We simply instantiate an
<code class="classname">ExampleDatabasePut</code> object there and then
call its <code class="methodname">run()</code> method. We also provide a
top-level <code class="literal">try</code> block there for any exceptions that might be thrown
during runtime.
</p>
<p>
Notice that the <code class="literal">finally</code> statement in the
top-level <code class="literal">try</code> block calls
<code class="methodname">MyDbEnv.close()</code>. This method closes our
<code class="classname">EntityStore</code> and <code class="classname">Environment</code>
objects. By placing it here in the <code class="literal">finally</code>
statement, we can make sure that our store and environment are
always cleanly closed.
</p>
<pre class="programlisting"> public static void main(String args[]) {
ExampleDatabasePut edp = new ExampleDatabasePut();
try {
edp.run(args);
} catch (DatabaseException dbe) {
System.err.println("ExampleDatabasePut: " + dbe.toString());
dbe.printStackTrace();
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println("Exception: " + e.toString());
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
myDbEnv.close();
}
System.out.println("All done.");
} </pre>
<p>
Our <code class="methodname">run()</code> method does four
things. It calls <code class="methodname">MyDbEnv.setup()</code>,
which opens our <code class="classname">Environment</code> and
<code class="classname">EntityStore</code>. It then instantiates a
<code class="classname">DataAccessor</code> object, which we will use
to write data to the store. It calls
<code class="methodname">loadVendorsDb()</code> which loads all of the
vendor information. And then it calls
<code class="methodname">loadInventoryDb()</code> which loads all of
the inventory information.
</p>
<p>
Notice that the <code class="classname">MyDbEnv</code>
object is being setup as read-write. This results in the
<code class="classname">EntityStore</code> being opened for
transactional support.
(See <a class="xref" href="mydbenv-persist.html" title="MyDbEnv">MyDbEnv</a>
for implementation details.)
</p>
<pre class="programlisting"> private void run(String args[])
throws DatabaseException {
// Parse the arguments list
parseArgs(args);
myDbEnv.setup(myDbEnvPath, // Path to the environment home
false); // Environment read-only?
// Open the data accessor. This is used to store
// persistent objects.
da = new DataAccessor(myDbEnv.getEntityStore());
System.out.println("loading vendors db....");
loadVendorsDb();
System.out.println("loading inventory db....");
loadInventoryDb();
} </pre>
<p>
We can now implement the <code class="methodname">loadVendorsDb()</code>
method. This method is responsible for reading the vendor
contact information from the appropriate flat-text file,
populating <code class="classname">Vendor</code> class objects with the
data and then writing it to the <code class="classname">EntityStore</code>.
As explained above, each individual object is written with
transactional support. However, because a transaction handle is
not explicitly used, the write is performed using auto-commit.
This happens because the <code class="classname">EntityStore</code>
was opened to support transactions.
</p>
<p>
To actually write each class to the
<code class="classname">EntityStore</code>, we simply call the
<code class="methodname">PrimaryIndex.put()</code> method for the
<code class="classname">Vendor</code> entity instance. We obtain this
method from our <code class="classname">DataAccessor</code>
class.
</p>
<pre class="programlisting"> private void loadVendorsDb()
throws DatabaseException {
// loadFile opens a flat-text file that contains our data
// and loads it into a list for us to work with. The integer
// parameter represents the number of fields expected in the
// file.
List vendors = loadFile(vendorsFile, 8);
// Now load the data into the store.
for (int i = 0; i &lt; vendors.size(); i++) {
String[] sArray = (String[])vendors.get(i);
Vendor theVendor = new Vendor();
theVendor.setVendorName(sArray[0]);
theVendor.setAddress(sArray[1]);
theVendor.setCity(sArray[2]);
theVendor.setState(sArray[3]);
theVendor.setZipcode(sArray[4]);
theVendor.setBusinessPhoneNumber(sArray[5]);
theVendor.setRepName(sArray[6]);
theVendor.setRepPhoneNumber(sArray[7]);
// Put it in the store.
da.vendorByName.put(theVendor);
}
} </pre>
<p>
Now we can implement our <code class="methodname">loadInventoryDb()</code>
method. This does exactly the same thing as the
<code class="methodname">loadVendorsDb()</code>
method.
</p>
<pre class="programlisting"> private void loadInventoryDb()
throws DatabaseException {
// loadFile opens a flat-text file that contains our data
// and loads it into a list for us to work with. The integer
// parameter represents the number of fields expected in the
// file.
List inventoryArray = loadFile(inventoryFile, 6);
// Now load the data into the store. The item's sku is the
// key, and the data is an Inventory class object.
for (int i = 0; i &lt; inventoryArray.size(); i++) {
String[] sArray = (String[])inventoryArray.get(i);
String sku = sArray[1];
Inventory theInventory = new Inventory();
theInventory.setItemName(sArray[0]);
theInventory.setSku(sArray[1]);
theInventory.setVendorPrice(
(new Float(sArray[2])).floatValue());
theInventory.setVendorInventory(
(new Integer(sArray[3])).intValue());
theInventory.setCategory(sArray[4]);
theInventory.setVendor(sArray[5]);
// Put it in the store. Note that this causes our secondary key
// to be automatically updated for us.
da.inventoryBySku.put(theInventory);
}
} </pre>
<p>
The remainder of this example simple parses the command line
and loads data from a flat-text file. There is nothing here
that is of specific interest to the DPL, but we
show this part of the example anyway in the interest of
completeness.

<p>
<code class="classname">ExampleInventoryRead</code>
retrieves
inventory information from our entity store and
displays it. When it displays each inventory item, it
also displays the related vendor contact information.
</p>
<p>
<code class="classname">ExampleInventoryRead</code>
can do one of two things. If you provide no search
criteria, it displays all of the inventory items in the
store. If you provide an item name (using the
<code class="literal">-s</code> command line switch), then just
those inventory items using that name are displayed.
</p>
<p>
The beginning of our example is almost identical to our
<code class="classname">ExampleDatabasePut</code>
example program. We
repeat that example code here for the sake of
completeness. For a complete walk-through of it, see
the previous section (<a class="xref" href="dpl_exampledatabaseput.html" title="ExampleDatabasePut.java">ExampleDatabasePut.java</a>).
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">package persist.gettingStarted;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;
import com.sleepycat.je.DatabaseException;
import com.sleepycat.persist.EntityCursor;
public class ExampleInventoryRead {
private static File myDbEnvPath =
new File("/tmp/JEDB");
private DataAccessor da;
// Encapsulates the database environment.
private static MyDbEnv myDbEnv = new MyDbEnv();
// The item to locate if the -s switch is used
private static String locateItem;
private static void usage() {
System.out.println("ExampleInventoryRead [-h &lt;env directory&gt;]" +
"[-s &lt;item to locate&gt;]");
System.exit(-1);
}
public static void main(String args[]) {
ExampleInventoryRead eir = new ExampleInventoryRead();
try {
eir.run(args);
} catch (DatabaseException dbe) {
System.err.println("ExampleInventoryRead: " + dbe.toString());
dbe.printStackTrace();
} finally {
myDbEnv.close();
}
System.out.println("All done.");
}
private void run(String args[])
throws DatabaseException {
// Parse the arguments list
parseArgs(args);
myDbEnv.setup(myDbEnvPath, // path to the environment home
true); // is this environment read-only?
// Open the data accessor. This is used to retrieve
// persistent objects.
da = new DataAccessor(myDbEnv.getEntityStore());
// If a item to locate is provided on the command line,
// show just the inventory items using the provided name.
// Otherwise, show everything in the inventory.
if (locateItem != null) {
showItem();
} else {
showAllInventory();
}
} </pre>
<p>
The first method that we provide is used to show inventory
items related to a given inventory name. This method is called
only if an inventory name is passed to
<code class="classname">ExampleInventoryRead</code>
via the <code class="literal">-s</code> option. Given the sample data
that we provide with this example, each matching inventory name
will result in the display of three inventory objects.
</p>
<p>
To display these objects we use the
<code class="classname">Inventory</code> class'
<code class="literal">inventoryByName</code> secondary index to retrieve
an <code class="classname">EntityCursor</code>, and then we iterate
over the resulting objects using the cursor.
</p>
<p>
Notice that this method calls
<code class="methodname">displayInventoryRecord()</code>
to display each individual object. We show this
method a little later in the example.
</p>
<pre class="programlisting"> // Shows all the inventory items that exist for a given
// inventory name.
private void showItem() throws DatabaseException {
// Use the inventory name secondary key to retrieve
// these objects.
EntityCursor&lt;Inventory&gt; items =
da.inventoryByName.subIndex(locateItem).entities();
try {
for (Inventory item : items) {
displayInventoryRecord(item);
}
} finally {
items.close();
}
} </pre>
<p>
Next we implement <code class="methodname">showAllInventory()</code>,
which shows all of the <code class="classname">Inventory</code>
objects in the store. To do this, we
obtain an <code class="classname">EntityCursor</code>
from the <code class="classname">Inventory</code> class'
primary index and, again, we iterate using that cursor.
</p>
<pre class="programlisting"> // Displays all the inventory items in the store
private void showAllInventory()
throws DatabaseException {
// Get a cursor that will walk every
// inventory object in the store.
EntityCursor&lt;Inventory&gt; items =
da.inventoryBySku.entities();
try {
for (Inventory item : items) {
displayInventoryRecord(item);
}
} finally {
items.close();
}
} </pre>
<p>
Now we implement
<code class="methodname">displayInventoryRecord()</code>. This
uses the getter methods on the <code class="classname">Inventory</code>
class to obtain the information that we want to display.
The only thing interesting about this method is that we
obtain <code class="classname">Vendor</code> objects within.
The vendor objects are retrieved <code class="classname">Vendor</code>
objects using their primary index. We get the key
for the retrieval from the <code class="classname">Inventory</code>
object that we are displaying at the time.
</p>
<pre class="programlisting"> private void displayInventoryRecord(Inventory theInventory)
throws DatabaseException {
System.out.println(theInventory.getSku() + ":");
System.out.println("\t " + theInventory.getItemName());
System.out.println("\t " + theInventory.getCategory());
System.out.println("\t " + theInventory.getVendor());
System.out.println("\t\tNumber in stock: " +
theInventory.getVendorInventory());
System.out.println("\t\tPrice per unit: " +
theInventory.getVendorPrice());
System.out.println("\t\tContact: ");
Vendor theVendor =
da.vendorByName.get(theInventory.getVendor());
assert theVendor != null;
System.out.println("\t\t " + theVendor.getAddress());
System.out.println("\t\t " + theVendor.getCity() + ", " +
theVendor.getState() + " " + theVendor.getZipcode());
System.out.println("\t\t Business Phone: " +
theVendor.getBusinessPhoneNumber());
System.out.println("\t\t Sales Rep: " +
theVendor.getRepName());
System.out.println("\t\t " +
theVendor.getRepPhoneNumber());
} </pre>
<p>
The last remaining parts of the example are used to parse
the command line. This is not very
interesting for our purposes here, but we show it anyway
for the sake of completeness.
</p>
<pre class="programlisting"> protected ExampleInventoryRead() {}
private static void parseArgs(String args[]) {
for(int i = 0; i &lt; args.length; ++i) {
if (args[i].startsWith("-")) {
switch(args[i].charAt(1)) {
case 'h':
myDbEnvPath = new File(args[++i]);

</div>
</div>
<p>
To modify a stored entity object, retrieve it, update
it, then put it back to the entity store:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">
SimpleEntityClass sec = sda.pIdx.get("keyone");
sec.setSKey("skeyoneupdated");
sda.pIdx.put(sec);
</pre>
<p>
Note that because we updated a field on the object that is
a secondary key, this object will now be accessible by the
secondary key of <code class="literal">skeyoneupdated</code> instead
of the previous value, which was <code class="literal">skeyone</code>
</p>
<p>
Be aware that if you modify the object's primary key, the behavior is
somewhat different. In this case, you cause a new instance
of the object to be created in the store, instead of
replacing an existing instance:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">// Results in two objects in the store. One with a
// primary index of "keyfive" and the other with primary index of
//'keyfivenew'.
SimpleEntityClass sec = sda.pIdx.get("keyfive");
sec.setPKey("keyfivenew");
sda.pIdx.put(sec); </pre>
<p>
Finally, if you are iterating over a collection of objects
using an <code class="classname">EntityCursor</code>, you can
update each object in turn using
<code class="methodname">EntityCursor.update()</code>. Note,
however, that you must be iterating using a
<code class="classname">PrimaryIndex</code>; this operation is not
allowed if you are using a
<code class="classname">SecondaryIndex</code>.
</p>
<p>
For example, the following iterates over every
<code class="classname">SimpleEntityClass</code> object in the entity
store, and it changes them all so that they have a
secondary index of <code class="literal">updatedskey</code>:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">EntityCursor&lt;SimpleEntityClass&gt; sec_pcursor = sda.pIdx.entities();
for (SimpleEntityClass sec : sec_pcursor) {
sec.setSKey("updatedskey");
sec_pcursor.update(item);
}
sec_pcursor.close(); </pre>

<p>
To create an index using the DPL, you use Java
annotations to declare which feature on the class is used
for the primary index, and which features (if any) are to
be used as secondary indexes.
</p>
<p>
All entity classes stored in the DPL must have a
primary index declared for it.
</p>
<p>
Entity classes can have zero or more secondary
indexes declared for them. There is no limit on the
number of secondary indexes that you can declare.
</p>
<div class="sect2" lang="en" xml:lang="en">
<div class="titlepage">
<div>
<div>
<h3 class="title"><a id="dplprimaryidxdecl"></a>Declaring Primary Indexes</h3>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>
You declare a primary key for an entity class by
using the <code class="literal">@PrimaryKey</code>
annotation. This annotation must appear
immediately before the data member which
represents the class's primary key. For example:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">package persist.gettingStarted;
import com.sleepycat.persist.model.Entity;
import com.sleepycat.persist.model.PrimaryKey;
@Entity
public class Vendor {
private String address;
private String bizPhoneNumber;
private String city;
private String repName;
private String repPhoneNumber;
private String state;
// Primary key is the vendor's name
// This assumes that the vendor's name is
// unique in the database.
@PrimaryKey
private String vendor;
... </pre>
<p>
For this class, the <code class="literal">vendor</code> value is set for an individual
<code class="classname">Vendor</code> class object by
the <code class="methodname">setVendorName()</code>
method. If our example code fails to set this
value before storing the object, the data
member used to store the primary key is set to a
null value. This would result in a runtime
error.
</p>
<p>
You can avoid the need to explicitly set a
value for a class's primary index by specifying
a sequence to be used for the primary key. This
results in an unique integer value being used
as the primary key for each stored object.
</p>
<p>
You declare a sequence is to be used by specifying
the <code class="literal">sequence</code> keyword to the
<code class="literal">@PrimaryKey</code> annotation. You must
also provide a name for the sequence. For example:
For example:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">@PrimaryKey(sequence="Sequence_Namespace")
long myPrimaryKey; </pre>
</div>
<div class="sect2" lang="en" xml:lang="en">
<div class="titlepage">
<div>
<div>
<h3 class="title"><a id="dplsecondaryidxdecl"></a>Declaring Secondary Indexes</h3>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>
To declare a secondary index, we use the
<code class="literal">@SecondaryKey</code> annotation. Note
that when we do this, we must declare what sort of
an index it is; that is, what is its relationship to
other data in the data store.
</p>
<p>
The <span class="emphasis"><em>kind</em></span> of indices that we
can declare are:
</p>
<div class="itemizedlist">
<ul type="disc">
<li>
<p>
<code class="literal">ONE_TO_ONE</code>
</p>
<p>
This relationship indicates that
the secondary key is unique to the
object. If an object is stored with a
secondary key that already
exists in the data store, a run
time error is raised.
</p>
<p>
For example, a person object might
be stored with a primary key of a
social security number (in the US),
with a secondary key of the
person's employee number. Both
values are expected to be unique in
the data store.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
<code class="literal">MANY_TO_ONE</code>
</p>
<p>
Indicates that the secondary key
may be used for multiple
objects in the data store. That is,
the key appears more than
once, but for each stored object it
can be used only once.
</p>
<p>
Consider a data store that relates
managers to employees. A given
manager will have multiple
employees, but each employee is
assumed to have just one manager.
In this case, the manager's
employee number might be a
secondary key, so that you can
quickly locate all the objects
related to that manager's
employees.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
<code class="literal">ONE_TO_MANY</code>
</p>
<p>
Indicates that the secondary key
might be used more than once for a
given object. Index keys
themselves are assumed to be
unique, but multiple instances of
the index can be used per object.
</p>
<p>
For example, employees might have
multiple unique email addresses. In
this case, any given object can be
access by one or more email
addresses. Each such address is
unique in the data store, but each
such address will relate to a
single employee object.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
<code class="literal">MANY_TO_MANY</code>
</p>
<p>
There can be multiple keys for
any given object, and for any given
key there can be many related
objects.
</p>
<p>
For example, suppose your
organization has a shared
resource, such as printers. You
might want to track which
printers a given employee can
use (there might be more than
one). You might also want to
track which employees can use a
specific printer. This
represents a many-to-many
relationship.
</p>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<p>
Note that for <code class="literal">ONE_TO_ONE</code> and
<code class="literal">MANY_TO_ONE</code> relationships, you
need a simple data member (not an array or
collection) to hold the key. For
<code class="literal">ONE_TO_MANY</code> and
<code class="literal">MANY_TO_MANY</code> relationships, you
need an array or collection to hold the keys:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">@SecondaryKey(relate=ONE_TO_ONE)
private String primaryEmailAddress = new String();
@SecondaryKey(relate=ONE_TO_MANY)
private Set&lt;String&gt; emailAddresses = new HashSet&lt;String&gt;(); </pre>
</div>
<div class="sect2" lang="en" xml:lang="en">
<div class="titlepage">
<div>
<div>
<h3 class="title"><a id="foreignkey"></a>Foreign Key Constraints</h3>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>
Sometimes a secondary index is related in some
way to another entity class that is also
contained in the data store. That is, the
secondary key might be the primary key for
another entity class. If this is the case, you
can declare the foreign key constraint to make
data integrity easier to accomplish.
</p>
<p>
For example, you might have one class that is
used to represent employees.
You might have another that is used to
represent corporate divisions. When you add or
modify an employee record, you might want to
ensure that the division to which the employee
belongs is known to the data store. You do this
by specifying a foreign key constraint.
</p>
<p>
When a foreign key constraint is declared:
</p>
<div class="itemizedlist">
<ul type="disc">
<li>
<p>
When a new secondary key
for the object is stored,
it is checked to make sure
it exists as a primary
key for the related
entity object. If it does
not, a runtime error
occurs.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
When a related entity is
deleted (that is, a
corporate division is
removed from the data
store), some action is
automatically taken for
the entities that refer to
this object (that is, the
employee objects). Exactly
what that action is, is
definable by you. See
below.
</p>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<p>
When a related entity is deleted from the data
store, one of the following actions are taken:
</p>
<div class="itemizedlist">
<ul type="disc">
<li>
<p>
<code class="literal">ABORT</code>
</p>
<p>
The delete operation is not
allowed. A runtime error is
raised as a result of the
operation. This is the
default behavior.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
<code class="literal">CASCADE</code>
</p>
<p>
All entities related to this
one are deleted as well. For
example, if you deleted a
<code class="classname">Division</code>
object, then all
<code class="classname">Employee</code>
objects that belonged to the
division are also deleted.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
<code class="literal">NULLIFY</code>
</p>
<p>
All entities related to the
deleted entity are updated so
that the pertinent data member
is nullified. That is, if you
deleted a division, then all
employee objects related to
that division would have their
division key
automatically set to null.
</p>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<p>
You declare a foreign key constraint by using
the <code class="literal">relatedEntity</code> keyword. You
declare the foreign key constraint deletion policy using the
<code class="literal">onRelatedEntityDelete</code> keyword. For
example, the following declares a foreign key
constraint to <code class="classname">Division</code>
class objects, and it causes related objects to
be deleted if the <code class="classname">Division</code>
class is deleted:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">@SecondaryKey(relate=ONE_TO_ONE, relatedEntity=Division.class,
onRelatedEntityDelete=CASCADE)
private String division = new String(); </pre>

Regardless of whether you are using the DPL or the base API, you must use a database
environment. Database environments encapsulate one or more databases. This encapsulation
provides your threads with efficient access to your databases by allowing a single in-memory
cache to be used for each of the databases contained in the environment. This encapsulation
also allows you to group operations performed against multiple databases inside a single
transaction (see the <em class="citetitle">Berkeley DB, Java Edition Getting Started with Transaction Processing</em> guide for more information).
</p>
<p>
If you are using the base API, most commonly you use database environments to create and
open databases (you close individual databases using the individual database handles). You
can also use environments to delete and rename databases. For transactional applications,
you use the environment to start transactions. For non-transactional applications, you use
the environment to sync your in-memory cache to disk.
</p>
<p>
If you are using the DPL, all of these things are still being done, but the DPL takes
care of it for you. Under the DPL, the most common thing you will explicitly use an
environment for is to obtain transaction handles.
</p>
<p>
Regardless of the API that you use, you also use the database environment for
administrative and configuration activities related to your database log files and the
in-memory cache.
See <a class="xref" href="administration.html" title="Chapter 12. Administering Berkeley DB Java Edition Applications">Administering Berkeley DB Java Edition Applications</a> for
more information.
</p>
<p>
To find out how to use environments with a transaction-protected application, see the
<em class="citetitle">Berkeley DB, Java Edition Getting Started with Transaction Processing</em> guide.

You open a database environment by instantiating an <code class="classname">Environment</code>
object. You must provide to the constructor the name of the on-disk directory where the
environment is to reside. This directory location must exist or the open will fail.
</p>
<p>
By default, the environment is not created for you if it does not exist. Set the <a class="link" href="EnvProps.html" title="Environment Properties">creation property</a> to <code class="literal">true</code> if you
want the environment to be created. For example:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">package je.gettingStarted;
import com.sleepycat.je.DatabaseException;
import com.sleepycat.je.Environment;
import com.sleepycat.je.EnvironmentConfig;
import java.io.File;
...
// Open the environment. Allow it to be created if it does not
// already exist.
Environment myDbEnvironment = null;
try {
EnvironmentConfig envConfig = new EnvironmentConfig();
envConfig.setAllowCreate(true);
myDbEnvironment = new Environment(new File("/export/dbEnv"),
envConfig);
} catch (DatabaseException dbe) {
// Exception handling goes here
} </pre>
<p>
Opening an environment usually causes some background threads to be started. JE uses
these threads for log file cleaning and some administrative tasks. However, these
threads will only be opened once per process, so if you open the same environment more
than once from within the same process, there is no performance impact on your
application. Also, if you open the environment as read-only, then the background
threads (with the exception of the evictor thread) are not started.
</p>
<p>
Note that opening your environment causes normal recovery to be run. This
causes your databases to be brought into a consistent state relative to the
changed data found in your log files.
See <a class="xref" href="backuprestore.html#databaselogs" title="Databases and Log Files">Databases and Log Files</a>
for more information.

<p>
Most JE applications only need a single database environment because any
number of databases can be created in a single environment, and the
total size of the data in an environment is not limited. That said,
your application can open and use as many environments as you have disk and
memory to manage. Also, you can instantiate
multiple <code class="classname">Environment</code> objects
for the same physical environment.
</p>
<p>
The main reason for multiple environments is that an application must manage
multiple unique data sets. By placing each data set in a separate environment,
the application can gain real advantages in manageability of the data, and with
application performance. By placing each data set in a unique environment,
a separate set of log files is created and maintained in a separate directory,
and so you can manipulate the log files for each data set separately.
That is, you can:
</p>
<div class="itemizedlist">
<ul type="disc">
<li>
<p>
Backup, restore or delete a single data set
separately by copying or removing the files for its environment.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Balance the load between machines by moving the files for a
single data set from one machine to another.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Improve I/O performance by placing each data set on a separate
physical disk.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Delete individual data sets very efficiently by removing the
environment's log files. This is much more efficient than
deleting individual database records and is also move
efficient than removing databases, and so can be a real benefit
if you are managing large temporary data sets that must be
frequently deleted.
</p>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<p>
Be aware that there is a downside to using multiple environments. In particular,
understand that a single transaction cannot include changes
made in more than one environment. If you need to perform a set of
operations in more than one data set atomically (with a single
transaction), use a single environment and distinguish the data sets
using some other method.
</p>
<p>
For example, an application running a hosted service for multiple clients may
wish to keep each client's data set separate. You can do this with multiple
environments, but then you can operate on all data sets atomically. If you need
to wrap operations for multiple data sets in a single transaction, consider some
other approach to keeping the data sets separate.
</p>
<p>
You can, for example, distinguish each data set using a unique key range within
a single database. Or you can create a secondary key that identifies the data
set. Or you could use separate databases for each dataset. All of these
approaches allow you to maintain multiple distinct dataset within a single
environment, but each obviously adds a level of complexity to your code over
what is required to simply use a unique environment for each data set.
</p>

<div>
<h3 class="title"><a id="multisubdir"></a>Multiple Environment Subdirectories</h3>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>
You can spread your JE environment across multiple subdirectories. This allows you
to improve data throughput by spreading disk I/O across multiple disks or filesystems.
Environment subdirectories reside in the environment home directory and are named
<code class="literal">data001/</code> through <code class="literal">dataNNN/</code>, consecutively, where
<code class="literal">NNN</code> is the number of subdirectories that you want to use. Typically,
each of the <code class="literal">dataNNN/</code> names are symbolic links to actual directories
which reside on separate file systems or disks. Alternatively, each subdirectory can
be mount points for filesystems which reside on different disk drives.
</p>
<p>
You control the number of subdirectories you want to use with the
<code class="literal">je.log.nDataDirectories</code> property in the
<code class="literal">je.properties</code> file. This value must be set prior to opening the
environment, and the subdirectories must already exist at that time. The value set for
this property can not change over the course of the environment's lifetime, or an
exception is thrown when you attempt to open the environment.
</p>
<p>
The default value for <code class="literal">je.log.nDataDirectories</code> is 0, and this means no
subdirectories are in use for the environment. A value greater than 0 indicates the
number of subdirectories to use, and that number of subdirectories must exist prior to
opening the environment.
</p>
<p>
For example, if you set <code class="literal">je.log.nDataDirectories</code> to 3, then the first
time you open the environment (and for every environment open after that) your
environment home directory must contain three subdirectories named
<code class="literal">data001</code>, <code class="literal">data002</code> and <code class="literal">data003</code>.
This causes your JE log files (the <code class="literal">*.jdb</code> files) to be spread
evenly across those three subdirectories. Finally, if you change the value of
<code class="literal">je.log.nDataDirectories</code> without first completely deleting your
environment, then your application will throw exceptions when you open your environment.

<h3 class="title"><a id="multienvsharedcache"></a>Configuring a Shared Cache for Multiple Environments</h3>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>
By default, each distinct JE environment has a separate, private
in-memory cache. If a single JVM process will keep open multiple
environments at the same time, it is strongly recommended that all such
environments are configured to use a shared cache. A shared cache makes
much more efficient use of memory than separate private caches.
</p>
<p>
For example, imagine that you open 5 environments in a single process
and a total of 500 MB of memory is available for caching. Using private
caches, you could configure each cache to be 100 MB. If one of the
environments has a larger active data set than the others, it will
not be able to take advantage of unused memory in the other environment
caches. By using a shared cache, multiple open environments will make
better use of memory because the cache LRU algorithm is applied across
all information in all enviornments sharing the cache.
</p>
<p>
In order to configure an environment to use a shared cache, set
<code class="methodname">EnvironmentConfig.setSharedCache()</code>
to <code class="literal">true</code>. This must be set for every environment in the
process that you want to use the shared cache. For example:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">package je.gettingStarted;
import com.sleepycat.je.DatabaseException;
import com.sleepycat.je.Environment;
import com.sleepycat.je.EnvironmentConfig;
import java.io.File;
...
// Open the environment. Allow it to be created if it does not
// already exist.
Environment myEnv1 = null;
Environment myEnv2 = null;
try {
EnvironmentConfig envConfig = new EnvironmentConfig();
envConfig.setAllowCreate(true);
envConfig.setSharedCache(true);
myEnv1 = new Environment(new File("/export/dbEnv1"), envConfig);
myEnv2 = new Environment(new File("/export/dbEnv2"), envConfig);
} catch (DatabaseException dbe) {
// Exception handling goes here
} </pre>

<p>
JE offers a wealth of information that you can examine regarding your environment's operations. The majority
of this information involves numbers relevant only to the JE developer and as such a description of those
statistics is beyond the scope of this manual.
</p>
<p>
However, one statistic that is very important (especially for
long-running applications) is
<code class="methodname">EnvironmentStats.getNCacheMiss()</code>.
This statistic returns the total number of
requests for database objects that were not serviceable from the cache.
This number is important to the
application administrator who is attempting to determine the proper size for the in-memory cache.
See <a class="xref" href="cachesize.html" title="Sizing the Cache">Sizing the Cache</a> for details.
</p>
<p>
To obtain this statistic from your environment, call <code class="methodname">Environment.getStats()</code> to return
an <code class="classname">EnvironmentStats</code> object. You can then call the
<code class="methodname">EnvironmentStats.getNCacheMiss()</code> method. For example:
</p>
<a id="je_env5"></a>
<pre class="programlisting">import com.sleepycat.je.Environment;
...
long cacheMisses = myEnv.getStats(null).getNCacheMiss();
...
</pre>
<p>
Note that <code class="methodname">Environment.getStats()</code> can only obtain statistics from your application's
process. In order for the application administrator to obtain this statistic, you must either
use JMX to retrieve the statistic
(see <a class="xref" href="jmx.html" title="JConsole and JMX Support">JConsole and JMX Support</a>)
or you must print it for examination (for example, log the value once a minute).
</p>
<p>
Remember that what is really important for cache sizing is the change in this value over time, and not the actual value
itself. So you might consider offering a delta from one examination of this statistic to the next (a delta of 0 is
desired while large deltas are an indication that the cache is too small).

You close your environment by calling the <code class="methodname">Environment.close()</code>
method. This method performs a checkpoint, so it is not necessary to perform a sync or a

<p>
If you are using the DPL, then close your environment(s) only after all other store
activities have completed and you have closed any stores currently opened in the
environment. If you are using the base API, then close your environment(s) only after
all other database activities have completed and you have closed any databases currently
opened in the environment.
</p>
<div class="note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;">
<h3 class="title">Note</h3>
<p>
It is possible for the environment to close before JE's
cleaner thread
has finished its work. This happens if you perform a large number of deletes immediately
before shutting down your environment. The result is that your log files may be quit a lot larger than you
expect them to be because the cleaner thread has not had a chance to finish its work.
</p>
<p>
See <a class="xref" href="backgroundthreads.html#cleaner" title="The Cleaner Thread">The Cleaner Thread</a> for
details on the cleaner threads.
</p>
<p>
If you want to make sure that the cleaner has finished running before the environment is closed,
call <code class="methodname">Environment.cleanLog()</code> before calling
<code class="methodname">Environment.close()</code>:
</p>
<a id="je_env2-1"></a>
<pre class="programlisting">import com.sleepycat.je.DatabaseException;
import com.sleepycat.je.Environment;
...
try {
if (myDbEnvironment != null) {
myDbEnvironment.cleanLog(); // Clean the log before closing
myDbEnvironment.close();
}
} catch (DatabaseException dbe) {
// Exception handling goes here
} </pre>
</div>
<p>
Closing the last environment handle in your application causes all internal data structures
to be released and the background threads to be stopped. If there are any opened databases,
then JE will complain before closing them as well. At this time, and any on-going
transactions are aborted. Also at this time any open cursors are also closed. However, it is recommended that you always close all cursor handles immediately after their use to ensure concurrency and to release resources such as page locks.

It is possible to iterate over every object referenced
by a specific index. You may want to do this if, for
example, you want to examine or modify every object
accessible by a specific primary index.
</p>
<p>
In addition, some indexes result in the retrieval of multiple
objects. For example, <code class="literal">MANY_TO_ONE</code>
secondary indexes can result in more than one object for any given
key (also known as <span class="emphasis"><em>duplicate keys</em></span>).
When this is the case, you must iterate
over the resulting set of objects in order to examine
each object in turn.
</p>
<p>
There are two ways to iterate over a collection of
objects as returned by an index. One is to use a
standard Java <code class="classname">Iterator</code>, which you
obtain using an <code class="classname">EntityCursor</code>,
which in turn you can obtain from a <code class="classname">PrimaryIndex</code>:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">PrimaryIndex&lt;String,SimpleEntityClass&gt; pi =
store.getPrimaryIndex(String.class, SimpleEntityClass.class);
EntityCursor&lt;SimpleEntityClass&gt; pi_cursor = pi.entities();
try {
Iterator&lt;SimpleEntityClass&gt; i = pi_cursor.iterator();
while (i.hasNext()) {
// Do something here
}
} finally {
// Always close the cursor
pi_cursor.close();
} </pre>
<p>
Alternatively, you can use a Java "foreach" statement
to iterate over object set:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">PrimaryIndex&lt;String,SimpleEntityClass&gt; pi =
store.getPrimaryIndex(String.class, SimpleEntityClass.class);
EntityCursor&lt;SimpleEntityClass&gt; pi_cursor = pi.entities();

<p>
When a cursor is first opened, it is not
positioned to any value; that is,
it is not <span class="emphasis"><em>initialized</em></span>.
Most of the <code class="classname">EntityCursor</code>
methods that move a cursor will initialize it
to either the first or last object, depending
on whether the operation is moving the cursor
forward (all <code class="literal">next...</code>
methods) or backwards (all
<code class="literal">prev...</code>) methods.
</p>
<p>
You can also force a cursor, whether it is
initialized or not, to return the first object
by calling
<code class="methodname">EntityCursor.first()</code>.
Similarly, you can force a return of the last
object using
<code class="methodname">EntityCursor.last()</code>.
</p>
<p>
Operations that do not move the cursor (such as
<code class="methodname">EntityCursor.current()</code>
or <code class="methodname">EntityCursor.delete()</code>
will throw an
<code class="classname">IllegalStateException</code>
when used on an uninitialized cursor.

<h3 class="title"><a id="dpl_dups"></a>Working with Duplicate Keys</h3>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>
If you have duplicate secondary keys, you can return an
<code class="classname">EntityIndex</code> class object for them
using <code class="methodname">SecondaryIndex.subIndex()</code>
Then, use that object's
<code class="methodname">entities()</code>
method to obtain an <code class="classname">EntityCursor</code>
instance.
</p>
<p>
For example:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">PrimaryIndex&lt;String,SimpleEntityClass&gt; pi =
store.getPrimaryIndex(String.class, SimpleEntityClass.class);
SecondaryIndex&lt;String,String,SimpleEntityClass&gt; si =
store.getSecondaryIndex(pi, String.class, "sKey");
EntityCursor&lt;SimpleEntityClass&gt; sec_cursor =
si.subIndex("skeyone").entities();
try {
for (SimpleEntityClass seci : sec_cursor) {
// do something with each object "seci"
}
// Always make sure the cursor is closed when we are done with it.
} finally {
sec_cursor.close(); } </pre>
<p>
Note that if you are working with duplicate keys, you can
control how cursor iteration works by using the following
<code class="classname">EntityCursor</code> methods:
</p>
<div class="itemizedlist">
<ul type="disc">
<li>
<p>
<code class="methodname">nextDup()</code>
</p>
<p>
Moves the cursor to the next object with the
same key as the cursor is currently
referencing. That is, this method returns the
next duplicate object. If no such object
exists, this method returns
<code class="literal">null</code>.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
<code class="methodname">prevDup()</code>
</p>
<p>
Moves the cursor to the previous object with the
same key as the cursor is currently
referencing. That is, this method returns the
previous duplicate object in the cursor's set
of objects. If no such object exists, this method returns
<code class="literal">null</code>.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
<code class="methodname">nextNoDup()</code>
</p>
<p>
Moves the cursor to the next object in the
cursor's set that has a key which is different
than the key that the cursor is currently
referencing. That is, this method skips all
duplicate objects and returns the
next non-duplicate object in the cursor's set
of objects. If no such object exists, this method returns
<code class="literal">null</code>.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
<code class="methodname">prevNoDup()</code>
</p>
<p>
Moves the cursor to the previous object in the
cursor's set that has a key which is different
than the key that the cursor is currently
referencing. That is, this method skips all
duplicate objects and returns the
previous non-duplicate object in the cursor's set
of objects. If no such object exists, this method returns
<code class="literal">null</code>.
</p>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<p>
For example:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">PrimaryIndex&lt;String,SimpleEntityClass&gt; pi =
store.getPrimaryIndex(String.class, SimpleEntityClass.class);
SecondaryIndex&lt;String,String,SimpleEntityClass&gt; si =
store.getSecondaryIndex(pi, String.class, "sKey");
EntityCursor&lt;SimpleEntityClass&gt; sec_cursor =
si.subIndex("skeyone").entities();
try {
SimpleEntityClass sec;
Iterator&lt;SimpleEntityClass&gt; i = sec_cursor.iterator();
while (sec = i.nextNoDup() != null) {
// Do something here
}
// Always make sure the cursor is closed when we are done with it.
} finally {
sec_cursor.close(); } </pre>

<div>
<h3 class="title"><a id="dpl_cursor_range"></a>Key Ranges</h3>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>
You can restrict the scope of a cursor's movement
by specifying a <span class="emphasis"><em>range</em></span> when you
create the cursor. The cursor can then never be
positioned outside of the specified range.
</p>
<p>
When specifying a range, you indicate whether a
range bound is <span class="emphasis"><em>inclusive</em></span> or
<span class="emphasis"><em>exclusive</em></span> by providing a
boolean value for each range.
<code class="literal">true</code> indicates that the provided
bound is inclusive, while <code class="literal">false</code>
indicates that it is exclusive.
</p>
<p>
You provide this information when you call
<code class="classname">PrimaryIndex.entities()</code>
or
<code class="classname">SecondaryIndex.entities()</code>.
For example, suppose you had a class indexed by
numerical information. Suppose further that you
wanted to examine only those objects with indexed
values of 100 - 199. Then (assuming the numerical
information is the primary index), you can bound
your cursor as follows:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">
EntityCursor&lt;SomeEntityClass&gt; cursor =
primaryIndex.entities(100, true, 200, false);
try {
for (SomeEntityClass sec : cursor {
// Do something here to objects ranged from 100 to 199
}
// Always make sure the cursor is closed when we are done with it.
} finally {
cursor.close(); } </pre>

</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>
As a final backup/recovery strategy, you can create a hot standby. Note that using hot standbys requires
your application to be able to specify its environment home directory at application startup time. Most
application developers allow the environment home directory to be identified using a command line option or a
configuration or properties file. If your application has its
environment home hard-coded into it, you cannot use hot standbys.
</p>
<p>
You create a hot standby by periodically backing up your database to an alternative
location on disk. Usually this alternative location is on a separate physical drive from
where you normally keep your database, but if multiple drives are not available then you
should at least put the hot standby on a separate disk partition.
</p>
<p>
You failover to your hot standby by causing your application to reopen its environment using the hot standby
location.
</p>
<p>
Note that a hot standby should not be used as a substitute for backing up and archiving your data to a safe
location away from your operating environment. Even if your data is spread across multiple physical disks, a
truly serious catastrophe (fires, malevolent software viruses,
faulty disk controllers, and so forth)
can still cause you to lose your data.
</p>
<p>
To create and maintain a hot standby:
</p>
<div class="orderedlist">
<ol type="1">
<li>
<p>
Copy all log files (<code class="filename">*.jdb</code>) from your environment
directory to the location where you want to keep your standby. Either a hot
or an offline backup can be used for this purpose, but typically a hot
standby is initially created by taking an offline backup of your database.
This ensures that you have captured the contents of your in-memory cache.
</p>
<div class="note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;">
<h3 class="title">Note</h3>
<p>
If you are using subdirectories to store your log files, then you must backup
the subdirectories, making sure to keep log files in the subdirectory in which
JE placed them. For information on using subdirectories to store your log
files, see <a class="xref" href="env.html#multisubdir" title="Multiple Environment Subdirectories">Multiple Environment Subdirectories</a>.
</p>
</div>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Periodically copy to your standby directory any log files that were changed or created since the
time of your last copy. Most backup software is capable of performing this kind of an incremental
backup for you.
</p>
<p>
Note that the frequency of your incremental copies determines the amount of data that is at risk due to catastrophic
failures. For example, if you perform the incremental copy once an hour then at most your hot standby is an hour behind
your production database, and so you are risking at most an hours worth of database changes.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Remove any <code class="filename">*.jdb</code> files from the hot standby directory that have been removed or
renamed to <code class="filename">.del</code> files in the primary directory. This is not necessary for
consistency, but will help to reduce disk space consumed by the hot standby.

<p>
Usually you find database records by means of the record's key. However,
the key that you use for your record will not always contain the
information required to provide you with rapid access to the data that you
want to retrieve. For example, suppose your
<code class="classname">Database</code>
contains records related to users. The key might be a string that is some
unique identifier for the person, such as a user ID. Each record's data,
however, would likely contain a complex object containing details about
people such as names, addresses, phone numbers, and so forth.
While your application may frequently want to query a person by user
ID (that is, by the information stored in the key), it may also on occasion
want to locate people by, say, their name.
</p>
<p>
Rather than iterate through all of the records in your database, examining
each in turn for a given person's name, you create indexes based on names
and then just search that index for the name that you want. You can do this
using secondary databases. In JE, the
<code class="classname">Database</code>
that contains your data is called a
<span class="emphasis"><em>primary database</em></span>. A database that provides an
alternative set of keys to access that data is called a <span class="emphasis"><em>secondary
database</em></span><span>,
and these are managed using <code class="classname">SecondaryDatabase</code>
class objects.</span> In a secondary database, the keys are your alternative
(or secondary) index, and the data corresponds to a primary record's key.
</p>
<p>
You create a secondary database by using a <code class="classname">SecondaryConfig</code>
class object to identify an implementation of a
<code class="classname">SecondaryKeyCreator</code>
class object that is used to create keys based on data found in the primary
database. You then pass this <code class="classname">SecondaryConfig</code>
object to the <code class="classname">SecondaryDatabase</code> constructor.
</p>
<p>
Once opened, JE manages secondary databases for you. Adding or deleting
records in your primary database causes JE to update the secondary as
necessary. Further, changing a record's data in the primary database may cause
JE to modify a record in the secondary, depending on whether the change
forces a modification of a key in the secondary database.
</p>
<p>
Note that you can not write directly to a secondary database.
<span>While methods
exist on <code class="classname">SecondaryDatabase</code> and
<code class="classname">SecondaryCursor</code> that appear to allow this, they in
fact always throw
<code class="classname">UnsupportedOperationException</code>.</span>
To change the data referenced by a
<code class="classname">SecondaryDatabase</code>
record, modify the primary database instead. The exception to this rule is
that delete operations are allowed on the
<span><code class="classname">SecondaryDatabase</code> object.</span>
See <a class="xref" href="secondaryDelete.html" title="Deleting Secondary Database Records">Deleting Secondary Database Records</a> for more
information.
</p>
<div class="note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;">
<h3 class="title">Note</h3>
<p>
Secondary database records are updated/created by JE
only if the
<span><code class="methodname">SecondaryKeyCreator.createSecondaryKey()</code> method</span>
returns
<span><code class="literal">true</code>.</span>
If
<code class="literal">false</code>
is returned, then JE will not add the key to the secondary database, and
in the event of a record update it will remove any existing key.
</p>
<p>
See <a class="xref" href="keyCreator.html" title="Implementing Key Creators">Implementing Key
<span>Creators</span>
</a> for more
<span>information on this interface and method.</span>
</p>
</div>
<p>
When you read a record from a secondary database, JE automatically
returns
<span>the key and data</span>
from the corresponding record in the primary database.

<h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a id="DbAssociate"></a>Opening and Closing Secondary Databases</h2>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>
You manage secondary database opens and closes using the
<span>
<code class="methodname">Environment.openSecondaryDatabase()</code> method.
</span>
Just as is the case with primary databases, you must provide
<code class="methodname">Environment.openSecondaryDatabase()</code>
with the database's
name and, optionally, other properties such as whether duplicate
records are allowed, or whether the secondary database can be created on
open. In addition, you must also provide:
</p>
<div class="itemizedlist">
<ul type="disc">
<li>
<p>A handle to the primary database that this secondary database is
indexing. Note that this means that secondary databases are maintained
only for the specified <code class="classname">Database</code> handle. If you
open the same <code class="classname">Database</code> multiple times for write
(such as might occur when opening a database for read-only and read-write in the same application),
then you should open the <code class="classname">SecondaryDatabase</code> for
each such <code class="classname">Database</code> handle.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>A <code class="classname">SecondaryConfig</code> object that provides
properties specific to a secondary database. The most important of
these is used to identify the key creator for the database. The key
creator is responsible for generating keys for the secondary database.
See <a class="xref" href="secondaryProps.html" title="Secondary Database Properties">Secondary Database Properties</a> for details.</p>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;">
<h3 class="title">Note</h3>
<p>
Primary databases <span class="emphasis"><em>must not</em></span> support duplicate records.
Secondary records point to primary records using the primary key, so that key must be unique.
</p>
</div>
<p>So to open (create) a secondary database, you:</p>
<div class="orderedlist">
<ol type="1">
<li>
<p>Open your primary database.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Instantiate your key creator.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Instantiate your <code class="classname">SecondaryConfig</code> object.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Set your key creator object on your <code class="classname">SecondaryConfig</code>
object.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Open your secondary database, specifying your primary database
and your <code class="classname">SecondaryConfig</code> at that time.</p>
</li>
</ol>
</div>
<p>For example:</p>
<a id="je_index1"></a>
<pre class="programlisting">package je.gettingStarted;
import com.sleepycat.bind.tuple.TupleBinding;
import com.sleepycat.je.Database;
import com.sleepycat.je.DatabaseConfig;
import com.sleepycat.je.DatabaseException;
import com.sleepycat.je.Environment;
import com.sleepycat.je.SecondaryDatabase;
import com.sleepycat.je.SecondaryConfig;
import java.io.File;
...
DatabaseConfig myDbConfig = new DatabaseConfig();
SecondaryConfig mySecConfig = new SecondaryConfig();
myDbConfig.setAllowCreate(true);
mySecConfig.setAllowCreate(true);
// Duplicates are frequently required for secondary databases.
mySecConfig.setSortedDuplicates(true);
// Open the primary
Environment myEnv = null;
Database myDb = null;
SecondaryDatabase mySecDb = null;
try {
String dbName = "myPrimaryDatabase";
myEnv = new Environment(new File("/tmp/JEENV"), null);
myDb = myEnv.openDatabase(null, dbName, myDbConfig);
// A fake tuple binding that is not actually implemented anywhere
// in this manual. The tuple binding is dependent on the data in use.
// Tuple bindings are described earlier in this manual.
TupleBinding myTupleBinding = new MyTupleBinding();
// Open the secondary.
// Key creators are described in the next section.
FullNameKeyCreator keyCreator =
new FullNameKeyCreator(myTupleBinding);
// Get a secondary object and set the key creator on it.
mySecConfig.setKeyCreator(keyCreator);
// Perform the actual open
String secDbName = "mySecondaryDatabase";
mySecDb = myEnv.openSecondaryDatabase(null, secDbName, myDb,
mySecConfig);
} catch (DatabaseException de) {
// Exception handling goes here ...
}</pre>
<p>To close a secondary database, call its close() method. Note that
for best results, you should close all the secondary databases associated
with a primary database before closing the primary.</p>
<p>For example:</p>
<a id="je_index2"></a>
<pre class="programlisting">try {
if (mySecDb != null) {
mySecDb.close();
}
if (myDb != null) {
myDb.close();
}
if (myEnv != null) {
myEnv.close();
}
} catch (DatabaseException dbe) {
// Exception handling goes here

<p>In previous chapters in this book, we built applications that load
and display several JE databases. In this example, we will extend those
examples to use secondary databases. Specifically:</p>
<div class="itemizedlist">
<ul type="disc">
<li>
<p>In <a class="xref" href="dbtUsage.html#dbenvStoredClass" title="Example 8.4 Stored Class Catalog Management with MyDbEnv">Stored Class Catalog Management with MyDbEnv</a> we built a
class that we can use to open and manage a
JE <code class="classname">Environment</code> and one or more <code class="classname">Database</code> objects.
In <a class="xref" href="indexusage.html#secondaryMyDbEnv" title="Opening Secondary Databases with MyDbEnv">Opening Secondary Databases with
MyDbEnv</a> we will extend
that class to also open and manage a <code class="classname">SecondaryDatabase</code>.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>In <a class="xref" href="cursorUsage.html" title="Cursor Example">Cursor Example</a> we
built an application to display our inventory database (and related
vendor information). In <a class="xref" href="indexusage.html#exampleReadSecondaries" title="Using Secondary Databases with ExampleInventoryRead">Using Secondary Databases with ExampleInventoryRead</a> we will extend that application to
show inventory records based on the index we cause to be loaded using
<code class="classname">ExampleDatabasePut</code>.
</p>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<p>
Before we can use a secondary database, we must implement a class to extract secondary keys for us.
We use <code class="classname">ItemNameKeyCreator</code> for this purpose.
</p>
<div class="example">
<a id="ItemNameKeyCreator"></a>
<p class="title">
<b>Example 10.1 ItemNameKeyCreator.java</b>
</p>
<div class="example-contents">
<p>
This class assumes the primary database
uses <code class="classname">Inventory</code> objects for the record data. The
<code class="classname">Inventory</code> class is described in <a class="xref" href="dbtUsage.html#inventory" title="Example 8.1 Inventory.java">Inventory.java</a>.</p>
<p>In our key creator class, we make use of a custom tuple binding
called <code class="classname">InventoryBinding</code>. This class is described in <a class="xref" href="dbtUsage.html#InventoryBinding" title="Example 8.3 InventoryBinding.java">InventoryBinding.java</a>.</p>
<p>You can find the following class in: </p>
<pre class="programlisting"><span class="emphasis"><em>JE_HOME</em></span>/examples/je/gettingStarted/ItemNameKeyCreator.java</pre>
<p>
where <code class="literal"><span class="emphasis"><em>JE_HOME</em></span></code> is the location where you
placed your JE distribution.
</p>
<a id="je_index11"></a>
<pre class="programlisting">package je.gettingStarted;
import com.sleepycat.bind.tuple.TupleBinding;
import com.sleepycat.db.SecondaryKeyCreator;
import com.sleepycat.db.DatabaseEntry;
import com.sleepycat.db.DatabaseException;

public class ItemNameKeyCreator implements SecondaryKeyCreator {
private TupleBinding theBinding;
// Use the constructor to set the tuple binding

}
return true;
}
} </pre>

</div>
<br class="example-break" />
<p>Now that we have a key creator, we can use it to generate keys for a secondary database. We will now extend
<code class="classname">MyDbEnv</code> to manage a secondary database, and to use <code class="classname">ItemNameKeyCreator</code>
to generate keys for that secondary database.

<p>In <a class="xref" href="dbtUsage.html#dbenvStoredClass" title="Example 8.4 Stored Class Catalog Management with MyDbEnv">Stored Class Catalog Management with MyDbEnv</a> we built
<code class="classname">MyDbEnv</code> as an example of a class that

<b>Example 10.2 SecondaryDatabase Management with MyDbEnv</b>
</p>
<div class="example-contents">
<p>We start by importing two additional classes needed to support secondary databases.
We also add a global variable to use as a handle for our secondary database.
</p>
<a id="je_index12"></a>
<pre class="programlisting">// File MyDbEnv.java
package je.gettingStarted;
import com.sleepycat.bind.tuple.TupleBinding;
import com.sleepycat.bind.serial.StoredClassCatalog;
import com.sleepycat.je.Database;
import com.sleepycat.je.DatabaseConfig;
import com.sleepycat.je.DatabaseException;

private Environment myEnv;

private Database classCatalogDb;
<strong class="userinput"><code>private SecondaryDatabase itemNameIndexDb;</code></strong>
// Needed for object serialization
private StoredClassCatalog classCatalog;
// Our constructor does nothing
public MyDbEnv() {}</pre>
<p>
Next we update the <code class="methodname">MyDbEnv.setup()</code> method to open the
secondary database. As a part of this, we have to pass an
<code class="classname">ItemNameKeyCreator</code> object on the call to open the secondary
database. Also, in order to instantiate <code class="classname">ItemNameKeyCreator</code>, we need an
<code class="classname">InventoryBinding</code> object (we described this class in <a class="xref" href="dbtUsage.html#InventoryBinding" title="Example 8.3 InventoryBinding.java">InventoryBinding.java</a>). We do all this work together inside of
<code class="methodname">MyDbEnv.setup()</code>.
</p>
<a id="je_index13"></a>
<pre class="programlisting"> public void setup(File envHome, boolean readOnly)
throws DatabaseException {
EnvironmentConfig myEnvConfig = new EnvironmentConfig();
DatabaseConfig myDbConfig = new DatabaseConfig();
<strong class="userinput"><code>SecondaryConfig mySecConfig = new SecondaryConfig();</code></strong>
// If the environment is read-only, then
// make the databases read-only too.
myEnvConfig.setReadOnly(readOnly);
myDbConfig.setReadOnly(readOnly);
<strong class="userinput"><code>mySecConfig.setReadOnly(readOnly);</code></strong>
// If the environment is opened for write, then we want to be
// able to create the environment and databases if
// they do not exist.
myEnvConfig.setAllowCreate(!readOnly);
myDbConfig.setAllowCreate(!readOnly);
<strong class="userinput"><code>mySecConfig.setAllowCreate(!readOnly);</code></strong>
...
// Environment and database opens omitted for brevity
...
<strong class="userinput"><code>// Open the secondary database. We use this to create a

new ItemNameKeyCreator(new InventoryBinding());
// Set up the secondary properties
mySecConfig.setAllowPopulate(true); // Allow autopopulate
mySecConfig.setKeyCreator(keyCreator);
// Need to allow duplicates for our secondary database
mySecConfig.setSortedDuplicates(true);
// Now open it
itemNameIndexDb =
myEnv.openSecondaryDatabase(
null,
"itemNameIndex", // Index name
inventoryDb, // Primary database handle. This is
// the db that we're indexing.
mySecConfig); // The secondary config</code></strong>
} </pre>
<p>
Next we need an additional getter method for returning the secondary database.
</p>
<a id="je_index14"></a>
<pre class="programlisting"> public SecondaryDatabase getNameIndexDB() {
return itemNameIndexDb;
} </pre>
<p>Finally, we need to update the <code class="methodname">MyDbEnv.close()</code>
method to close the new secondary database. We want to make sure that
the secondary is closed before the primaries. While
this is not necessary for this example because our
closes are single-threaded, it is still a good habit to adopt.</p>
<a id="je_index15"></a>
<pre class="programlisting"> public void close() {
if (myEnv != null) {
try {
//Close the secondary before closing the primaries
<strong class="userinput"><code>itemNameIndexDb.close();</code></strong>
vendorDb.close();
inventoryDb.close();
classCatalogDb.close();
// Finally, close the environment.
myEnv.close();
} catch(DatabaseException dbe) {
System.err.println("Error closing MyDbEnv: " +
dbe.toString());
System.exit(-1);
}
}
}
} </pre>
<p>That completes our update to <code class="classname">MyDbEnv</code>. You
can find the complete class implementation in:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting"><span class="emphasis"><em>JE_HOME</em></span>/examples/je/gettingStarted/MyDbEnv.java </pre>
<p>
where <code class="literal"><span class="emphasis"><em>JE_HOME</em></span></code> is the location where you
placed your JE distribution.
</p>
</div>
</div>
<br class="example-break" />
</div>
<p>Because we performed all our secondary database configuration management in
<code class="classname">MyDbEnv</code>, we do not need to modify <code class="classname">ExampleDatabasePut</code> at all in
order to create our secondary indices. When <code class="classname">ExampleDatabasePut</code> calls
<code class="methodname">MyDbEnv.setup()</code>, all of the necessary work is performed for us.
</p>
<p>
However, we still need to take advantage of the new secondary indices. We do this by updating
<code class="classname">ExampleInventoryRead</code> to allow us to query for an inventory record based on its name.
Remember that the primary key for an inventory record is the item's SKU. The item's name is contained in the
<code class="classname">Inventory</code> object that is stored as each record's data in the inventory database. But
our new secondary index now allows us to easily query based on the item's name.

<h3 class="title"><a id="exampleReadSecondaries"></a>Using Secondary Databases with ExampleInventoryRead</h3>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>In the previous section we changed <code class="classname">MyDbEnv</code>
to cause a secondary database to be built using inventory item names as
the secondary keys. In this section, we will update
<code class="classname">ExampleInventoryRead</code> to allow us to query our
inventory records based on the item name. To do this, we will modify
<code class="classname">ExampleInventoryRead</code> to accept a new command line switch,
<code class="literal">-s</code>, whose argument is the name of an inventory item.
If the switch is present on the command line call to
<code class="classname">ExampleInventoryRead</code>, then the application will
use the secondary database to look up and display all the inventory
records with that item name. Note that we use a <code class="classname">SecondaryCursor</code>
to seek to the item name key and then display all matching records.</p>
<p>Remember that you can find the following class in: </p>
<pre class="programlisting"><span class="emphasis"><em>JE_HOME</em></span>/examples/je/gettingStarted/ExampleInventoryRead.java</pre>
<p>
where <code class="literal"><span class="emphasis"><em>JE_HOME</em></span></code> is the location where you

<div class="example">
<a id="secondaryWithEIR"></a>
<p class="title">
<b>Example 10.3 SecondaryDatabase usage with ExampleInventoryRead</b>
</p>
<div class="example-contents">
<p>First we need to import a few additional classes in order to use
secondary databases and cursors, and then we add a single global variable:</p>
<a id="je_index16"></a>
<pre class="programlisting">package je.gettingStarted;
import com.sleepycat.je.Cursor;
import com.sleepycat.je.Database;
import com.sleepycat.je.DatabaseEntry;

import com.sleepycat.je.OperationStatus;
<strong class="userinput"><code>import com.sleepycat.je.SecondaryCursor;</code></strong>
import com.sleepycat.bind.EntryBinding;
import com.sleepycat.bind.serial.SerialBinding;
import com.sleepycat.bind.tuple.TupleBinding;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;
public class ExampleInventoryRead {
private static File myDbEnvPath =
new File("/tmp/JEDB");
// Encapsulates the database environment and databases.
private static MyDbEnv myDbEnv = new MyDbEnv();
private static TupleBinding inventoryBinding;
private static EntryBinding vendorBinding;
<strong class="userinput"><code>// The item to locate if the -s switch is used
private static String locateItem;</code></strong> </pre>
<p>Next we update <code class="methodname">ExampleInventoryRead.run()</code> to
check to see if the <code class="literal">locateItem</code> global variable a
value. If it does, then we show just those records related to the item
name passed on the <code class="literal">-s</code> switch.</p>
<a id="je_index18"></a>
<pre class="programlisting"> private void run(String args[])
throws DatabaseException {
// Parse the arguments list
parseArgs(args);
myDbEnv.setup(myDbEnvPath, // path to the environment home
true); // is this environment read-only?
// Setup our bindings.
inventoryBinding = new InventoryBinding();
vendorBinding =
new SerialBinding(myDbEnv.getClassCatalog(),
Vendor.class);
<strong class="userinput"><code>if (locateItem != null) {
showItem();
} else {</code></strong>
showAllInventory();
<strong class="userinput"><code>}</code></strong>
} </pre>
<p>
Finally, we need to implement <code class="methodname">ExampleInventoryRead.showItem()</code>.
This is a fairly simple method that opens a secondary cursor,
and then displays every primary record that is related to the secondary
key identified by the <code class="literal">locateItem</code> global variable.
</p>
<a id="je_index19"></a>
<pre class="programlisting"> private void showItem() throws DatabaseException {
SecondaryCursor secCursor = null;
try {
// searchKey is the key that we want to find in the
// secondary db.
DatabaseEntry searchKey =
new DatabaseEntry(locateItem.getBytes("UTF-8"));
// foundKey and foundData are populated from the primary
// entry that is associated with the secondary db key.
DatabaseEntry foundKey = new DatabaseEntry();
DatabaseEntry foundData = new DatabaseEntry();
// open a secondary cursor
secCursor =
myDbEnv.getNameIndexDB().openSecondaryCursor(null, null);
// Search for the secondary database entry.
OperationStatus retVal =
secCursor.getSearchKey(searchKey, foundKey,
foundData, LockMode.DEFAULT);
// Display the entry, if one is found. Repeat until no more
// secondary duplicate entries are found
while(retVal == OperationStatus.SUCCESS) {
Inventory theInventory =
(Inventory)inventoryBinding.entryToObject(foundData);
displayInventoryRecord(foundKey, theInventory);
retVal = secCursor.getNextDup(searchKey, foundKey,
foundData, LockMode.DEFAULT);
}
} catch (Exception e) {
System.err.println("Error on inventory secondary cursor:");
System.err.println(e.toString());
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
if (secCursor != null) {
secCursor.close();
}
}
}</pre>
<p>The only other thing left to do is to update
<code class="methodname">ExampleInventoryRead.parseArgs()</code> to support the <code class="literal">-s</code> command
line switch. To see how this is done, see:

<p>
Welcome to Berkeley DB Java Edition (JE). JE is a general-purpose,
transaction-protected, embedded database written in 100% Java (JE
makes no JNI calls). As such, it offers the Java developer safe and
efficient in-process storage and management of arbitrary data.
</p>
<p>
You use JE through a series of Java APIs which give you the
ability to read and write your data, manage your database(s), and
perform other more advanced activities such as managing
transactions. The Java APIs that you use to interact with JE
come in two basic flavors. The first is a high-level API that
allows you to make Java classes persistent. The second is a
lower-level API which provides additional flexibility when interacting
with JE databases.
</p>
<div class="note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;">
<h3 class="title">Note</h3>
<p>
For long-time users of JE, the lower-level API is the
traditional API that you are probably accustomed to using.
</p>
</div>
<p>
Regardless of the API set that you choose to use, there are a
series of concepts and APIs that are common across the product.
This manual starts by providing a high-level examination of
JE. It then describes the APIs you use regardless of the API
set that you choose to use. It then provides information on using the
Direct Persistence Layer (DPL) API, followed by information on using
the more extensive "base" API. Finally, we provide some database
administration information.
</p>
<p>
Note that the information provided here is intended to focus on
only introductory API usage. Other books describe more advanced
topics, such as transactional usage. See the <a class="xref" href="moreinfo.html" title="For More Information">For More Information</a> section for
a listing of other titles in the JE documentation set.

<p>
JE provides an enterprise-class Java-based data management
solution. All you need to get started is to add a single jar file to your
application's classpath. See <a class="xref" href="gettingit.html" title="Getting and Using JE">Getting and Using JE </a> for more information.
</p>
<p>
JE offers the following major features:
</p>
<div class="itemizedlist">
<ul type="disc">
<li>
<p>
Large database support. JE databases efficiently scale
from one to millions of records. The size of your JE
databases are likely to be limited more by hardware resources
than by any limits imposed upon you by JE.
</p>
<p>
Databases are described in
<a class="xref" href="databases.html" title="Chapter 7. Databases">Databases</a>.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Database environments. Database environments provide
a unit of encapsulation and management for one or
more databases. Environments are also the
unit of management for internal resources such as the
in-memory cache and the background threads.
Finally, you use environments to manage concurrency and
transactions. Note that all applications using JE
are required to use database environments.
</p>
<p>
Database environments are described in
<a class="xref" href="env.html" title="Chapter 2. Database Environments">Database Environments</a>.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Multiple thread and process support. JE is designed for
multiple threads of control. Both read and write operations
can be performed by multiple threads. JE uses record-level
locking for high concurrency in threaded applications.
Further, JE uses timeouts for deadlock detection to help
you ensure that two threads of control do not deadlock
indefinitely.
</p>
<p>
Moreover, JE allows multiple processes to access the same
databases. However, in this configuration JE requires that
there be no more than one process allowed to write to the
database. Read-only processes are guaranteed a consistent,
although potentially out of date, view of the stored data as of
the time that the environment is opened.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Transactions. Transactions allow you to treat one or more
operations on one or more databases as a single unit of work.
JE transactions offer the application developer recoverability, atomicity, and
isolation for your database operations.
</p>
<p>Note that transaction protection is optional. Transactions are
described in the <em class="citetitle">Berkeley DB, Java Edition Getting Started with Transaction Processing</em> guide.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
In-memory cache. The cache allows for high speed
database access for both read and write operations by
avoiding unnecessary disk I/O. The cache will grow
on demand up to a pre-configured maximum size. To
improve your application's performance immediately
after startup time, you can preload your cache in
order to avoid disk I/O for production requests of
your data.
</p>
<p>
Cache management is described in
<a class="xref" href="cachesize.html" title="Sizing the Cache">Sizing the Cache</a>.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Indexes. JE allows you to easily create and maintain
secondary indices for your primary data. In this way, you can obtain rapid
access to your data through the use of an alternative, or
secondary, key.
</p>
<p>
How indices work is dependent upon the API you are
using. If you are using the DPL, see
<a class="xref" href="persist_index.html" title="Chapter 4. Working with Indices">Working with Indices</a>.
Otherwise, see
<a class="xref" href="indexes.html" title="Chapter 10. Secondary Databases">Secondary Databases</a>.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Log files. JE databases are stored in one
or more numerically-named log files in the environment
directory. The log files are write-once and are
portable across platforms with different endian-ness.
</p>
<p>
Unlike other database implementations, there is no
distinction between database files (that is, the "material
database") and log files. Instead JE employs a log-based storage
system to protect database modifications. Before any
change is made to a database, JE writes information about the
change to the log file.
</p>
<p>
Note that JE's log files are not binary compatible with Berkeley
DB's database files. However, both products provide dump and load
utilities, and the files that these operate on are compatible across
product lines.
</p>
<p>
JE's log files are described in more detail in
<a class="xref" href="backuprestore.html" title="Chapter 11. Backing up and Restoring Berkeley DB Java Edition Applications">Backing up and Restoring Berkeley DB Java Edition Applications</a>.
For information on using JE's dump and load utilities,
see <a class="xref" href="commandlinetools.html" title="The Command Line Tools">The Command Line Tools</a>.
Finally, for a short list of things to know about log files while you are learning JE,
see <a class="xref" href="logfilesrevealed.html" title="Six Things Everyone Should Know about JE Log Files">Six Things Everyone Should Know about JE Log Files</a>.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Background threads. JE provides several threads
that manage internal resources for you. The
checkpointer is responsible for flushing database
data to disk that was written to cache as the result
of a transaction commit (this is done in order to
shorten recovery time). The compressor thread
removes subtrees from the database that are empty
because of deletion activity. Finally, the cleaner
thread is responsible for cleaning and removing
unneeded log files, thereby helping you to save on
disk space.
</p>
<p>
Background thread management is described in
<a class="xref" href="backgroundthreads.html" title="Managing the Background Threads">Managing the Background Threads</a>.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Backup and restore. JE's backup procedure
consists of simply copying JE's log files to a
safe location for storage. To recover from a
catastrophic failure, you copy your archived log
files back to your production location on disk and
reopen the JE environment.
</p>
<p>
Note that JE always performs <span class="emphasis"><em>normal
recovery</em></span> when it opens a database
environment. Normal recovery brings the database to a
consistent state based on change information found in
the database log files.
</p>
<p>
JE's backup and recovery mechanisms are described in
<a class="xref" href="backuprestore.html" title="Chapter 11. Backing up and Restoring Berkeley DB Java Edition Applications">Backing up and Restoring Berkeley DB Java Edition Applications</a>.

<div>
<h3 class="title"><a id="dplfeatures"></a>DPL Features</h3>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>
The DPL is one of two APIs that JE provides for
interaction with JE databases. The DPL provides
the ability to cause any Java type to be persistent
without implementing special interfaces. The
only real requirement is that each persistent
class have a default constructor.
</p>
<p>
The DPL provides all of the features previously identified
in this chapter. In addition, the DPL offers you:
</p>
<div class="itemizedlist">
<ul type="disc">
<li>
<p>
A type safe, convenient way to access
persistent objects.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
No hand-coding of bindings is required.
A binding is a way of transforming data
types into a format which can be stored
in a JE database. If you do not use
the DPL, you may be required to
create custom bindings for your data
types.
</p>
<p>
See <a class="xref" href="bindAPI.html" title="Using the BIND APIs">Using the BIND APIs</a>
for more information on creating data bindings.
</p>
<p>
Note that Java byte code enhancement is
used by the DPL API to provide fully
optimized bindings that do not use Java
reflection.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
No external schema is required to define
primary and secondary index keys. Java
annotations are used to define all
metadata.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Interoperability with external components is
supported using the Java collections framework.
Any index can be accessed using a standard
<code class="literal">java.util</code> collection.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Class evolution is explicitly supported. This
means you can add fields or widen types
automatically and transparently.
</p>
<p>
You can also perform many incompatible class
changes, such as renaming fields or refactoring a
single class. This is done using a built-in
DPL mechanism called
<span class="emphasis"><em>mutations</em></span>.
Mutations are automatically applied as data is
accessed so as to avoid downtime to convert large
databases during a software upgrade.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Persistent class fields can be private,
package-private, protected or public. The
DPL can access persistence fields
either by bytecode enhancement or by reflection.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
The performance of the underlying JE
engine is safe-guarded. All
DPL operations are mapped directly to
the underlying APIs, object bindings are
lightweight, and all engine tuning parameters are
available.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Java 1.5 generic types and annotations are
supported.
</p>
</li>
</ul>

<p>
If you are not using the DPL, then the following concepts and
features are likely to be of interest to you:
</p>
<div class="itemizedlist">
<ul type="disc">
<li>
<p>
Database records. All database records are organized
as simple key/data pairs. Both keys and data can be
anything from primitive Java types to the most
complex of Java objects.
</p>
<p>
Database records are described in
<a class="xref" href="DBEntry.html" title="Chapter 8. Database Records">Database Records</a>.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Direct database read and write. You can use methods
of a <code class="classname">Database</code> object to read
and write database records. Reading and writing using
<code class="classname">Database</code> objects are described
in
<a class="xref" href="DBEntry.html" title="Chapter 8. Database Records">Database Records</a>.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Cursors. Cursors give you the ability to sequentially
move through a database. Using cursors, you can seek
to a specific point in the database (using search
criteria applied to the key and/or the data portion
of a database record) and then either step forward or
step backwards through the database.
</p>
<p>
Cursors are described in detail in
<a class="xref" href="Cursors.html" title="Chapter 9. Using Cursors">Using Cursors</a>.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
JCA. JE provides support for the Java Connector Architecture. See
<a class="xref" href="jca.html" title="JCA Support">JCA Support</a> for more information.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
JMX. JE provides support for Java Management Extensions.
See <a class="xref" href="jmx.html" title="JConsole and JMX Support">JConsole and JMX Support</a> for more information.
</p>

<div class="titlepage">
<div>
<div>
<h3 class="title"><a id="whichapi"></a>Which API Should You Use?</h3>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>
Of the two APIs that JE makes available to you, we
recommend that you use the DPL if all
you want to do is make classes with a relatively static schema to
be persistent.
</p>
<p>
Further, if you are porting an application between Berkley DB
and Berkeley DB Java Edition, then you should not use the DPL as the
base API is a much closer match to the Berkley DB Java API.
</p>
<p>
Additionally, if your application uses a highly dynamic
schema, then the DPL is probably a poor choice for
your application, although the use of Java annotations
can make the DPL work a little better for you in this
situation.

<p>
Our example's <code class="classname">Inventory</code>
class is much like our <code class="classname">Vendor</code>
class in that it is simply used to encapsulate
data. However, in this case we want to be able
to access objects two different ways: by
product SKU and by product name.
</p>
<p>
In our data set, the product SKU is required to be
unique, so we use that as the primary key. The
product name, however, is not a unique value so we
set this up as a secondary key.
</p>
<p>
The class appears as follows in our example:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">package persist.gettingStarted;
import com.sleepycat.persist.model.Entity;
import com.sleepycat.persist.model.PrimaryKey;
import static com.sleepycat.persist.model.Relationship.*;
import com.sleepycat.persist.model.SecondaryKey;
@Entity
public class Inventory {
// Primary key is sku
@PrimaryKey
private String sku;
// Secondary key is the itemName

<span class="emphasis"><em>JCA</em></span> is the <span class="emphasis"><em>Java Connector Architecture</em></span>. This architecture provides a standard for connecting
the J2EE platform to legacy enterprise information systems (EIS), such as ERP systems, database systems, and
legacy applications not written in Java. JE supports this architecture.
</p>
<p>
Users who want to run JE within a J2EE Application Server can use the JCA Resource Adapter to connect to
JE through a standard API. Note that the base API is required if you want to do this.
The JE Resource Adapter supports all three J2EE application server transaction
types:
</p>
<div class="itemizedlist">
<ul type="disc">
<li>
<p>
No transaction.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Local transactions.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
XA transactions.
</p>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<p>
JCA also includes the Java Transaction API (JTA), which means that JE supports 2 phase commit (XA).
Therefore, JEs can participate in distributed transactions managed by either a J2EE server or the
applications direct use of the JTA API.
</p>
<p>
The JE distribution includes an example showing JCA usage in a simple EJB. The Resource Adaptor has been
tested using JBoss 3.2.6, and the Sun Java System Application Server, version 8.1. Instructions for how to build
the Resource Adapter and run a simple "smoke test" example for each of the application servers can be found
here:

<p>
Before describing the Java API usage, it is first useful to examine the
exceptions thrown by those APIs. So, briefly, this section describes the
exceptions that you can generally expect to encounter when writing JE
applications. This list is not definitive. Exceptions beyond these can be
expected, depending on the specific database activity you are performing.
See the Javadoc for more information.
</p>
<p>
All of the JE APIs throw
<code class="classname">DatabaseException</code>.
<a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/DatabaseException.html" target="_top">DatabaseException</a> extends
<code class="classname">java.lang.Exception</code>. Also, the following
classes are subclasses of <code class="classname">DatabaseException</code>:
</p>
<div class="itemizedlist">
<ul type="disc">
<li>
<p>
<a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/DatabaseNotFoundException.html" target="_top">DatabaseNotFoundException</a>
</p>
<p>
Thrown whenever an operation requires a database, and that
database cannot be found.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
<a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/DiskLimitException.html" target="_top">DiskLimitException</a>
</p>
<p>
Indicates that you have reached your disk usage thresholds. Writes are
no longer allowed when these thresholds are exceeded. The thresholds
are set using the <a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/EnvironmentConfig.html#MAX_DISK" target="_top">EnvironmentConfig.MAX_DISK</a> and <a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/EnvironmentConfig.html#FREE_DISK" target="_top">EnvironmentConfig.FREE_DISK</a> properties. This exception
can be thrown as the result of any write operation, including database
record writes, checkpoints, and database and environment syncs.
</p>
<p>
When closing the environment, this exception can be seen.
However, the environment will still be properly closed.
</p>
<p>
For information on setting these properties, see
<a class="xref" href="diskthreshold.html" title="Setting Disk Thresholds">Setting Disk Thresholds</a>.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
<a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/EnvironmentFailureException.html" target="_top">EnvironmentFailureException</a>
</p>
<p>
Indicates that a failure has occurred that could impact the Environment as
a whole. Depending on the nature of the failure, this exception might
indicate that <a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/Environment.html#close--" target="_top">Environment.close()</a> should
be called. Use <a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/Environment.html#isValid--" target="_top">Environment.isValid()</a> to
determine if all <a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/Environment.html" target="_top">Environment</a> handles must
be reopened. If <code class="literal">true</code>, the environment can
continue operating without being reopened.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
<a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/LockConflictException.html" target="_top">LockConflictException</a>
</p>
<p>
The common base class for all exceptions that result from record
lock conflicts. Upon receiving this exception, any open cursors
must be closed, the enclosing transaction aborted and,
optionally, the transaction retried. Transactions are described
in the <em class="citetitle">Berkeley DB, Java Edition Getting Started with Transaction Processing</em> guide.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
<a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/LogWriteException.html" target="_top">LogWriteException</a>
</p>
<p>
Thrown when an <code class="classname">IOException</code> or other failure occurs
when writing to the JE log. This exception might be indicative of a
full disk, although an <code class="classname">IOException</code> does not contain
enough information to determine this definitively.
</p>
<p>
This exception can be thrown as the result of any write
operation, including database record writes, checkpoints, and
database and environment syncs.
</p>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<p>
Note that <code class="classname">DatabaseException</code> and its subclasses belong to the
<code class="literal">com.sleepycat.je</code> package.

<p>
If you have two or more secondary databases associated with a primary
database, then you can retrieve primary records based on the intersection of
multiple secondary entries. You do this using a
<span><code class="classname">JoinCursor</code>.</span>
</p>
<p>
Throughout this document we have presented a
<span>class</span>
that stores
<span>inventory</span>
information on grocery
<span>items.</span>
That
<span>class</span>
is fairly simple with a limited
number of data members, few of which would be interesting from a query
perspective. But suppose, instead, that we were storing
information on something with many more characteristics that can be queried, such
as an automobile. In that case, you may be storing information such as
color, number of doors, fuel mileage, automobile type, number of
passengers, make, model, and year, to name just a few.
</p>
<p>
In this case, you would still likely be using some unique value to key your
primary entries (in the United States, the automobile's VIN would be
ideal for this purpose). You would then create a
<span>class</span>
that identifies
all the characteristics of the automobiles in your inventory.
<span>
You would
also have to create some mechanism by which you would move instances of
this class in and out of Java <code class="literal">byte</code> arrays. We
described the concepts and mechanisms by which you can perform these
activities in <a class="xref" href="DBEntry.html" title="Chapter 8. Database Records">Database Records</a>.
</span>
</p>
<p>
To query this data, you might then create multiple secondary databases,
one for each of the characteristics that you want to query. For
example, you might create a secondary for color, another for number of
doors, another for number of passengers, and so forth. Of course, you
will need a unique
<span>key creator</span>
for each such secondary database. You do
all of this using the concepts and techniques described throughout this
chapter.
</p>
<p>
Once you have created this primary database and all interesting
secondaries, what you have is the ability to retrieve automobile records
based on a single characteristic. You can, for example, find all the
automobiles that are red. Or you can find all the automobiles that have
four doors. Or all the automobiles that are minivans.
</p>
<p>
The next most natural step, then, is to form compound queries, or joins.
For example, you might want to find all the automobiles that are red,
and that were built by Toyota, and that are minivans. You can do this
using a
<span><code class="classname">JoinCursor</code> class instance.</span>

<h3 class="title"><a id="joinUsage"></a>Using Join Cursors</h3>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>
To use a join cursor:
</p>
<div class="itemizedlist">
<ul type="disc">
<li>
<p>
Open two or more
<span>secondary cursors. These </span>
cursors
<span>must be obtained from</span>
secondary databases that are associated with
the same primary database.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Position each such cursor to the secondary key
value in which you are interested. For example, to build on
the previous description, the cursor for the color
database is positioned to the <code class="literal">red</code> records
while the cursor for the model database is positioned to the
<code class="literal">minivan</code> records, and the cursor for the
make database is positioned to <code class="literal">Toyota</code>.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Create an array of <span>secondary</span> cursors, and
place in it each of the cursors that are participating in your join query.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Obtain a join cursor. You do this using the
<code class="methodname">Database.join()</code>
method. You must pass this method the array of secondary cursors that you
opened and positioned in the previous steps.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Iterate over the set of matching records
<span>using <code class="methodname">JoinCursor.getNext()</code></span>
until
<span><code class="classname">OperationStatus</code> is not <code class="literal">SUCCESS</code>.</span>
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Close your <span>join</span> cursor.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
If you are done with them, close all your <span>secondary</span> cursors.
</p>
</li>
</ul>

You can set <code class="classname">JoinCursor</code> properties using the

</p>
<div class="itemizedlist">

one that refers to the least number of data items to the one that refers to the most.
</p>
<p>
If the data is structured so that cursors with many data items also share many common elements,
higher performance will result from listing those cursors before cursors with fewer data
items. Turning off sorting permits applications to specify cursors in the proper order given this
scenario.
</p>

<h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a id="keyCreator"></a>Implementing Key
<span>Creators</span>
</h2>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>
You must provide every secondary database with a
<span>class</span>
that creates keys from primary records. You identify this
<span>class</span>
<span>
using the <code class="methodname">SecondaryConfig.setKeyCreator()</code>
method.
</span>
</p>
<p>
You can create keys using whatever data you want. Typically you will
base your key on some information found in a record's data, but you
can also use information found in the primary record's key. How you build
your keys is entirely dependent upon the nature of the index that you
want to maintain.
</p>
<p>
You implement a key creator by writing a class that implements the
<code class="classname">SecondaryKeyCreator</code> interface. This interface
requires you to implement the <code class="methodname">SecondaryKeyCreator.createSecondaryKey()</code>
method.
</p>
<p>
One thing to remember when implementing this method is that you will
need a way to extract the necessary information from the data's
<code class="classname">DatabaseEntry</code> and/or the key's
<code class="classname">DatabaseEntry</code> that are provided on calls to this
method. If you are using complex objects, then you are probably using the
Bind APIs to perform this conversion. The easiest thing to do is to
instantiate the <code class="classname">EntryBinding</code> or
<code class="classname">TupleBinding</code> that you need to perform the
conversion, and then provide this to your key creator's constructor.
The Bind APIs are introduced in <a class="xref" href="bindAPI.html" title="Using the BIND APIs">Using the BIND APIs</a>.
</p>
<p>
<code class="methodname">SecondaryKeyCreator.createSecondaryKey()</code> returns a
boolean. A return value of <code class="literal">false</code> indicates that
no secondary key exists, and therefore no record should be added to the secondary database for that primary record.
If a record already exists in the secondary database, it is deleted.
</p>
<p>
For example, suppose your primary database uses the following class
for its record data:
</p>
<a id="je_index3"></a>
<pre class="programlisting">package je.gettingStarted;
public class PersonData {
private String userID;
private String surname;
private String familiarName;
public PersonData(String userID, String surname,
String familiarName) {
this.userID = userID;
this.surname = surname;
this.familiarName = familiarName;
}
public String getUserID() {
return userID;
}
public String getSurname() {
return surname;
}
public String getFamiliarName() {
return familiarName;
}
} </pre>
<p>
Also, suppose that you have created a custom tuple binding,
<code class="classname">PersonDataBinding</code>, that you use to convert
<code class="classname">PersonData</code> objects to and from
<code class="classname">DatabaseEntry</code> objects. (Custom tuple bindings are
described in <a class="xref" href="bindAPI.html#customTuple" title="Custom Tuple Bindings">Custom Tuple Bindings</a>.)
</p>
<p>
Finally, suppose you want a secondary database that is keyed based
on the person's full name.
</p>
<p>
Then in this case you might create a key creator as follows:
</p>
<a id="je_index4"></a>
<pre class="programlisting">package je.gettingStarted;
import com.sleepycat.bind.tuple.TupleBinding;
import com.sleepycat.je.SecondaryKeyCreator;
import com.sleepycat.je.DatabaseEntry;
import com.sleepycat.je.DatabaseException;
import com.sleepycat.je.SecondaryDatabase;
import java.io.IOException;
public class FullNameKeyCreator implements SecondaryKeyCreator {
private TupleBinding theBinding;
public FullNameKeyCreator(TupleBinding theBinding1) {
theBinding = theBinding1;
}
public boolean createSecondaryKey(SecondaryDatabase secDb,
DatabaseEntry keyEntry,
DatabaseEntry dataEntry,
DatabaseEntry resultEntry) {
try {

</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>
JE log files are not like the log files of other database systems. Nor are they like the log files or database
files created by Berkeley DB C Edition. In this guide you will learn more about log files as you go along, but it is good
to keep the following points in mind as you begin using JE.
</p>
<div class="orderedlist">
<ol type="1">
<li>
<p>
JE log files are "append only". Record insertions, deletions, and updates are always added at the end
of the current file. The first file is named <code class="literal">00000000.jdb</code>. When that file grows to a certain size
(10 MB by default) a new file named <code class="literal">00000001.jdb</code> becomes the current file, and so on.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
There are no separate database files. Unlike Berkeley DB C Edition, databases are not stored in files
that are separate from the transaction log. The transaction log and the database records are stored
together in a single sequential log consisting of multiple log files.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
The JE cleaner is responsible for reclaiming unused disk space. When the records in a log file are
superseded by deletions or updates recorded in a later log file, the older log file is no longer fully
utilized. The cleaner, which operates by default as a separate thread, determines the least utilized
log files, copies any still utilized records in those files to the end of the current log file, and
finally deletes the now completely un-utilized log file.
</p>
<p>
See <a class="xref" href="backgroundthreads.html#cleaner" title="The Cleaner Thread">The Cleaner Thread</a> for more information on the cleaner.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Cleaning does not start immediately and never produces 100% utilization. Until you have written enough
data to create several log files, and some of that data is obsoleted through deletions and updates, you
will not notice any log files being deleted by the cleaner. By default cleaning occurs in the background and
maintains the log files at 50% utilization. You can configure a higher utilization value, but
configuring too high a utilization value will reduce overall performance.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Cleaning is not automatically performed when closing the environment. If you wish to reduce unused disk
space to a minimum at a particular point in time, you must explicitly call a method to perform log
cleaning. See the <a class="xref" href="envclose.html" title="Closing Database Environments">Closing Database Environments</a> for more information.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Log file deletion only occurs after a checkpoint. The cleaner prepares log files to be deleted, but
file deletion must be performed after a checkpoint to ensure that the files are no longer referenced.
Checkpoints occur on their own schedule, which is every 20 MB of log written, by default. This is part
of the reason that you will not see log files being deleted until after several files have been created.
</p>
<p>
When using JE's replication (high availability) feature, a checkpoint does not delete
the cleaned log file but instead instead changes the status of the file to <span class="emphasis"><em>reserved</em></span>.
Reserved files are only deleted when disk utilization exceeds the values set for either
<a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/EnvironmentConfig.html#MAX_DISK" target="_top">EnvironmentConfig.MAX_DISK</a> or <a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/EnvironmentConfig.html#FREE_DISK" target="_top">EnvironmentConfig.FREE_DISK</a>.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Log files can be spread across multiple directories, and therefore across multiple
disks through the use of links or mount points. See
<a class="xref" href="env.html#multisubdir" title="Multiple Environment Subdirectories">Multiple Environment Subdirectories</a>
for more information.

JE uses the <a class="ulink" href="http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/util/logging/package-summary.html" target="_top">java.util.logging</a> package to
log operations and trace messages. A distinct logger is defined for
each significant component of the system. The use of distinct loggers, along with
controllable logging levels, allows the logging output to be
tuned to tell you exactly what you need to know (while avoiding a lot of
extra information that only gets in the way) in order to monitor
your application's activities and/or debug runtime problems.
</p>
<p>
Logging output can be displayed to the console and the
<code class="filename">je.info</code> file in your application's
environment directory. Setting the logger level controls the
types of messages that are published to the handlers. Setting the handler level
determines if and where the published messages are displayed.
</p>
<div class="sect2" lang="en" xml:lang="en">
<div class="titlepage">
<div>
<div>
<h3 class="title"><a id="logginglevels"></a>Managing Logging Levels</h3>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>
The default logging level for JE loggers is
<code class="literal">INFO</code>. At that level, a non-replicated
environment issues messages only when critical exceptions are
encountered. A replicated environment issues node transition
messages which should be comprehensible to the user familiar with
the replication group life cycle and can be extremely useful when
monitoring your application's activities. The output at the
<code class="literal">INFO</code> is not verbose; it simply details the
node start up and shutdown operations. Initial configuration
problems, if any, should show up during the startup operation.
You are strongly advised to run your production application with
this level of logging.
</p>
<p>
Finer levels of logging are available for debugging purposes.
These will generate verbose output that is rich in implementation
detail. The output at these levels is only likely to be helpful
to people familiar with JE's implementation and the
application's use of JE, so you should only configure your logging
for these more verbose levels if you are involved in a detailed
debugging effort.
</p>
<p>
To set or change the logger level <span class="emphasis"><em>before</em></span> the environment is
opened, do one of the following:
</p>
<div class="orderedlist">
<ol type="1">
<li>
<p>
Set logging levels using the standard Java <a class="ulink" href="http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/util/logging/LogManager.html" target="_top">LogManager</a>

</p>
<pre class="programlisting">com.sleepycat.je.level=INFO</pre>
<p>
in the <a class="ulink" href="http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/util/logging/LogManager.html" target="_top">LogManager</a> properties file to set the logger
level for all JE loggers.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Set logging levels programmatically using the
<a class="ulink" href="http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/util/logging/package-summary.html" target="_top">java.util.logging</a> API. For example:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">...
// All other imports are omitted for brevity
import java.util.logging.Logger;
...
Logger parent = Logger.getLogger("com.sleepycat.je");
parent.setLevel(Level.FINE); // Loggers will now publish more
// detailed messages. </pre>
</li>
</ol>
</div>
<p>

<div class="orderedlist">
<ol type="1">
<li>
<p>

Output to the <code class="filename">je.info</code> file is managed by
the JE <a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/util/FileHandler.html" target="_top">FileHandler</a>, while output to the console is managed
by the JE <a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/util/ConsoleHandler.html" target="_top">ConsoleHandler</a>. By default, no output is shown on
the console, and only <code class="literal">INFO</code> level messages are
sent to <code class="filename">je.info</code>.
</p>

<p>
The <a class="ulink" href="http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/util/logging/package-summary.html" target="_top">java.util.logging</a> package does not supply an
API for setting handler levels. Instead, use the
following JE environment parameter:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">...
EnvironmentConfig envConfig = new EnvironmentConfig();
envConfig.setAllowCreate(true);
envConfig.setConfigParam(EnvironmentConfig.FILE_LOGGING_LEVEL, "ALL");
envConfig.setConfigParam(EnvironmentConfig.CONSOLE_LOGGING_LEVEL,

...
// Open your environment as normal here
... </pre>
</li>

opened, do one of the following:
</p>
<div class="orderedlist">
<ol type="1">
<li>
<p>
Use <a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/EnvironmentMutableConfig.html#setConfigParam(java.lang.String, java.lang.String)" target="_top">EnvironmentMutableConfig.setConfigParam()</a> to change the
handler levels using the JE properties described

In JE, you must use environments. Further, a database can be opened for write access only if the
environment is opened for write access. Finally, only one process may have an environment opened for
write access at a time.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
If your process attempts to open an environment for write, and another process has already opened that
environment for write, then the open will fail. In this event, the process must either exit or open the
environment as read-only.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
A process that opens an environment for read-only receives a snapshot of the data in that environment.
If another process modifies the environment's databases in any way, the read-only version of the data
will not be updated until the read-only process closes and reopens the environment (and by extension all
databases in that environment).

The applications that we are building for our example both
must open and close environments and entity stores. One
of our applications is writing to the entity store, so this
application needs to open the store as read-write. It also
wants to be able to create the store if it does not exist.
</p>
<p>
Our second application only reads from the store. In this
case, the store should be opened as read-only.
</p>
<p>
We perform these activities by creating a single class that
is responsible for opening and closing our store and
environment. This class is shared by both our applications.
To use it, callers need to only provide the path to the
environment home directory, and to indicate whether the
object is meant to be read-only. The class implementation
is as follows:

To store an object in an <code class="classname">EntityStore</code> you
must annotate the class appropriately and then store it using
<code class="methodname">PrimaryIndex.put()</code>.
</p>
<p>
To retrieve and object from an <code class="classname">EntityStore</code>
you use the <code class="methodname">get()</code> method from either the
<code class="classname">PrimaryIndex</code> or
<code class="classname">SecondaryIndex</code>, whichever is most
appropriate for your application.
</p>
<p>
In both cases, it simplifies things greatly if you create a data
accessor class to organize your indexes.

<p>
In the next few sections we:
</p>

<li>
<p>
Create an entity class that is ready to be stored
in an entity store. This class will have both a
primary index (required) declared for it, as well
as a secondary index (which is optional).

<p>
See the next section for this implementation.

For clarity's sake, this entity class is as simple a class as we can write.
It contains only two data members, both of which are set

This chapter guides you through the first few steps required to
use the DPL with your application. These steps include:
</p>
<div class="orderedlist">
<ol type="1">
<li>
<p>
Opening your environment as was described in
<span>
<a class="xref" href="env.html#envopen" title="Opening Database Environments">Opening Database Environments</a>.
</span>
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Opening your entity store.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Identifying the classes that you want to store in
JE as either a <code class="literal">persistent</code>
class or an <code class="literal">entity</code>.
</p>
</li>
</ol>
</div>
<p>
Once you have done these things, you can write your classes to
the JE databases, read them back from the databases, delete
them from the databases, and so forth. These activities are
described in the chapters that follow in this part of this manual.

<p>
Entity stores are the basic unit of storage that you use with the DPL. That is, it
is a unit of encapsulation for the classes that you want to store in JE. Under
the hood it actually interacts with JE databases, but the DPL provides a layer
of abstraction from the underlying JE APIs. The store, therefore, provides a
simplified mechanism by which you read and write your stored classes. By using a
store, you have access to your classes that is more simplified than if you were
interacting with databases directly, but this simplified access comes at the cost of
reduced flexibility.
</p>
<p>
Entity stores have configurations in the same way that environments have
configurations. You can use a <code class="classname">StoreConfig</code> object
to identify store properties. Among these are methods that allow you to declare
whether:
</p>
<div class="itemizedlist">
<ul type="disc">
<li>
<p>
the store can be created if it does not exist at the time
it is opened. Use the
<code class="methodname">StoreConfig.setAllowCreate()</code>
method to set this.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
deferred writes are allowed for the store. Use the
<code class="methodname">StoreConfig.setDeferredWrite()</code>
method to set this. See
<a class="xref" href="databases.html#dwdatabase" title="Deferred Write Databases">Deferred Write Databases</a>
for general information on deferred write
databases.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
the store is read-only. Use the
<code class="methodname">StoreConfig.setReadOnly()</code>
method to set this.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
the store supports transactions. Use the
<code class="methodname">StoreConfig.setTransactional()</code>
method to set this.
</p>
<p>
Writing JE transactional applications is described in the
<em class="citetitle">Berkeley DB, Java Edition Getting Started with Transaction Processing</em> guide.
</p>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<p>
<code class="classname">EntityStore</code> objects also provide methods for retrieving
information about the store, such as:
</p>
<div class="itemizedlist">
<ul type="disc">
<li>
<p>
the store's name. Use the
<code class="methodname">EntityStore.getStoreName()</code>
method to retrieve this.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
a handle to the environment in which the store is opened. Use the
<code class="methodname">EntityStore.getEnvironment</code>
method to retrieve this handle.
</p>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<p>
You can also use the <code class="classname">EntityStore</code> to
retrieve all the primary and secondary indexes related to a given type of entity
object contained in the store. See <a class="xref" href="persist_index.html" title="Chapter 4. Working with Indices">Working with Indices</a> for
more information.

<p>
As described in
<span>
<a class="xref" href="env.html" title="Chapter 2. Database Environments">Database Environments</a>,
</span>
an
<span class="emphasis"><em>environment</em></span> is a unit of
encapsulation for JE databases. It also provides a
handle by which activities common across the databases
can be managed.
</p>
<p>
To use an entity store, you must first open an environment and then provide that
environment handle to the <code class="classname">EntityStore</code> constructor.
</p>
<p>
For example, the following code fragment configures both
the environment and the entity store such that they can
be created if they do not exist. Both the environment and
the entity store are then opened.
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">package persist.gettingStarted;
import java.io.File;
import com.sleepycat.je.DatabaseException;
import com.sleepycat.je.Environment;
import com.sleepycat.je.EnvironmentConfig;
import com.sleepycat.persist.EntityStore;
import com.sleepycat.persist.StoreConfig;
...
private Environment myEnv;
private EntityStore store;
try {
EnvironmentConfig myEnvConfig = new EnvironmentConfig();
StoreConfig storeConfig = new StoreConfig();
myEnvConfig.setAllowCreate(!readOnly);
storeConfig.setAllowCreate(!readOnly);
// Open the environment and entity store
myEnv = new Environment(envHome, myEnvConfig);
store = new EntityStore(myEnv, "EntityStore", storeConfig);
} catch(DatabaseException dbe) {
System.err.println("Error opening environment and store: " +
dbe.toString());
System.exit(-1);
} </pre>
<p>
As always, before you exit your program you should close both
your store and your environment. It is recommended that you close your store before you close your
environment.
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">if (store != null) {
try {
store.close();
} catch(DatabaseException dbe) {
System.err.println("Error closing store: " +
dbe.toString());
System.exit(-1);
}
}
if (myEnv != null) {
try {
// Finally, close environment.
myEnv.close();
} catch(DatabaseException dbe) {
System.err.println("Error closing MyDbEnv: " +
dbe.toString());

All entity classes stored in JE using the DPL must have a
primary index, or key, identified for them. All such classes may
also have one or more secondary keys declared for them. This
chapter describes primary and secondary indexes in detail, and
shows how to access the indexes created for a given entity class.
</p>
<p>
One way to organize access to your primary and secondary
indexes is to create a <span class="emphasis"><em>data accessor</em></span>
class. We show an implementation of a data accessor class in
<a class="xref" href="simpleda.html" title="SimpleDA.class">SimpleDA.class</a>.

<p>
In order to retrieve any object from an entity store, you
must access at least the primary index for that object.
Different entity classes stored in an entity store can have
different primary indexes, but all entity classes must have a
primary index declared for it. The primary index is just
the default index used for the class. (That is, it is the
data's primary <span class="emphasis"><em>key</em></span> for the underlying database.)
</p>
<p>
Entity classes can optionally have secondary indexes
declared for them. In order to access these secondary
indexes, you must first access the primary index.
</p>
<div class="sect2" lang="en" xml:lang="en">
<div class="titlepage">
<div>
<div>
<h3 class="title"><a id="primaryindexaccess"></a>Accessing Primary Indices</h3>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>
You retrieve a primary index using the
<code class="methodname">EntityStore.getPrimaryIndex()</code>
method. To do this, you indicate the index key type
(that is, whether it is a String, Integer, and
so forth) and the class of the entities stored
in the index.
</p>
<p>
For example, the following retrieves the
primary index for an <code class="classname">Inventory</code>
class (we provide an implementation of this class in
<a class="xref" href="inventoryclass.html" title="Inventory.java">Inventory.java</a>).
These index keys are of type <code class="classname">String</code>.
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">PrimaryIndex&lt;String,Inventory&gt; inventoryBySku =
store.getPrimaryIndex(String.class, Inventory.class); </pre>
</div>
<div class="sect2" lang="en" xml:lang="en">
<div class="titlepage">
<div>
<div>
<h3 class="title"><a id="secondaryindexaccess"></a>Accessing Secondary Indices</h3>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>
You retrieve a secondary index using the
<code class="methodname">EntityStore.getSecondaryIndex()</code>
method. Because secondary indices actually
refer to a primary index somewhere in your data
store, to access a secondary index you:
</p>
<div class="orderedlist">
<ol type="1">
<li>
<p>
Provide the primary index as
returned by
<code class="methodname">EntityStore.getPrimaryIndex()</code>.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Identify the key data type used by
the secondary index
(<code class="classname">String</code>,
<code class="classname">Long</code>,
and so forth).
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Identify the name of the
secondary key field.
When you declare the
<code class="classname">SecondaryIndex</code>
object, you identify the entity class
to which the secondary index
must refer.
</p>
</li>
</ol>
</div>
<p>
For example, the following first retrieves the
primary index, and then uses that to retrieve a secondary
index. The secondary key is held by the
<code class="literal">itemName</code> field of the
<code class="classname">Inventory</code> class.
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">PrimaryIndex&lt;String,Inventory&gt; inventoryBySku =
store.getPrimaryIndex(String.class, Inventory.class);
SecondaryIndex&lt;String,String,Inventory&gt; inventoryByName =
store.getSecondaryIndex(inventoryBySku, String.class, "itemName"); </pre>

<p>
When using the DPL, you store data in the underlying
JE databases by making objects
<span class="emphasis"><em>persistent</em></span>. You do this using Java
annotations that both identify the type of persistent
object you are declaring, as well as the primary and
secondary indices.
</p>
<p>
The following are the annotations you will use with your
DPL persistent classes:
</p>
<div class="informaltable">
<table border="1" width="80%">
<colgroup>
<col />
<col />
</colgroup>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Annotation</th>
<th>Description</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>@Entity</td>
<td>
Declares an entity class; that is, a class with a primary index
and optionally one or more indices.
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>@Persistent</td>
<td>
Declares a persistent class; that is, a class used by an entity
class. They do not have indices but instead are are stored or
retrieved when an entity class makes direct use of them.
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>@PrimaryKey</td>
<td>
Declares a specific data member in an entity class to be the
primary key for that object. This annotation must be used one
and only one time for every entity class.
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>@SecondaryKey</td>
<td>
Declares a specific data member in an entity class to be a
secondary key for that object. This annotation is optional, and
can be used multiple times for an entity class.
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</div>
<p>
For example, the following is declared to be an entity class:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">package persist.gettingStarted;
import com.sleepycat.persist.model.Entity;
import com.sleepycat.persist.model.PrimaryKey;
@Entity
public class ExampleEntity {
// The primary key must be unique in the database.
@PrimaryKey
private String aPrimaryKey;
@SecondaryKey(relate=MANY_TO_ONE)
private String aSecondaryKey;
...
// The remainder of the class' implementation is purposefully
// omitted in the interest of brevity.

Welcome to Berkeley DB Java Edition (JE).
<span>
This document introduces JE, version 12<span class="emphasis"><em>c</em></span> Release 2.
</span>
</p>
<p>
This document is intended to provide a rapid introduction
to the JE API set and related concepts. The goal of this
document is to provide you with an efficient mechanism with which
you can evaluate JE against your project's technical
requirements. As such, this document is intended for
<span>Java</span>
developers and senior software architects who are looking for an
<span>
in-process data management solution.
</span>
No prior experience with Berkeley DB Java Edition is expected or required.
</p>

<div>
<h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a id="conventions"></a>Conventions Used in this Book</h2>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>
The following typographical conventions are used within in this manual:
</p>
<p>
Class names are represented in <code class="classname">monospaced font</code>, as are <code class="methodname">method
names</code>. For example:
<span>"The <code class="methodname">Environment.openDatabase()</code> method
returns a <code class="classname">Database</code> class object."</span>
</p>
<p>
Variable or non-literal text is presented in <span class="emphasis"><em>italics</em></span>. For example: "Go to your
<span class="emphasis"><em>JE_HOME</em></span>
directory."
</p>
<p>
Program examples are displayed in a <code class="classname">monospaced font</code> on a shaded background.
For example:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">import com.sleepycat.je.Environment;
...
// Open the environment. Allow it to be created if it does not
// already exist.
Environment myDbEnv;</pre>
<p>
In some situations, programming examples are updated from one chapter to the next. When
this occurs, the new code is presented in <strong class="userinput"><code>monospaced bold</code></strong> font. For example:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">import com.sleepycat.je.Environment;
<strong class="userinput"><code>import com.sleepycat.je.EnvironmentConfig;
import java.io.File;</code></strong>
...
// Open the environment. Allow it to be created if it does not
// already exist.
Environment myDbEnv;
<strong class="userinput"><code>EnvironmentConfig envConfig = new EnvironmentConfig();
envConfig.setAllowCreate(true);
myDbEnv = new Environment(new File("/export/dbEnv"), envConfig);</code></strong> </pre>
<div class="note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;">

<p>
Like a primary database, you can read records from your secondary
database either by using the
<span>
<code class="methodname">SecondaryDatabase.get()</code> method,
</span>
or by using
<span>a <code class="classname">SecondaryCursor</code>.</span>
The main difference between reading secondary and primary databases is that when
you read a secondary database record, the secondary record's data is not
returned to you. Instead, the primary key and data corresponding to the
secondary key are returned to you.
</p>
<p>
For example, assuming your secondary database contains keys related
to a person's full name:
</p>
<a id="je_index6"></a>
<pre class="programlisting">package je.gettingStarted;
import com.sleepycat.je.DatabaseEntry;
import com.sleepycat.je.LockMode;
import com.sleepycat.je.OperationStatus;
import com.sleepycat.je.SecondaryDatabase;
...
try {
// Omitting all database and environment opens
...
String searchName = "John Doe";
DatabaseEntry searchKey =
new DatabaseEntry(searchName.getBytes("UTF-8"));
DatabaseEntry primaryKey = new DatabaseEntry();
DatabaseEntry primaryData = new DatabaseEntry();
// Get the primary key and data for the user 'John Doe'.
OperationStatus retVal = mySecondaryDatabase.get(null, searchKey,
primaryKey,
primaryData,
LockMode.DEFAULT);
} catch (Exception e) {
// Exception handling goes here
}</pre>
<p>
Note that, just like
<span><code class="methodname">Database.get()</code>, </span>
if your secondary database supports duplicate records then
<code class="methodname">SecondaryDatabase.get()</code>
only return the first record found in a matching duplicates set. If you
want to see all the records related to a specific secondary key, then use a
<span>
<code class="classname">SecondaryCursor</code> (described in <a class="xref" href="secondaryCursor.html" title="Using Secondary Cursors">
<span>Using Secondary Cursors</span>
</a>).

<p>
To backup your database, copy the log files (the
<code class="literal">.jdb</code> files) starting from the lowest
numbered log file to the highest numbered log file to your
backup media. Be sure to copy the bytes of the individual
database files in order from the lowest to the highest. You do
not have to close your database or otherwise cease database
operations when you do this.
</p>
<div class="note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;">
<h3 class="title">Note</h3>
<p>
Note that if you are using subdirectories to store your log
files, then you should copy those subdirectories and their
contents instead of simply copying individual files.
Multiple subdirectories can be used to improve JE
throughput, but this feature is not turned on by default.
See <a class="xref" href="env.html#multisubdir" title="Multiple Environment Subdirectories">Multiple Environment Subdirectories</a>
for information on how to configure this feature.
</p>
</div>
<p>
Restoring a JE database from a backup consists of closing your
JE environment, copying archived log files back into your
environment directory and then opening your JE environment
again. If you are using subdirectories to store your log files,
then make sure to copy those subdirectories back into the
environment home directory, and make sure the same log files are in
each subdirectory as was there when you took the backup.
</p>
<p>
Note that whenever a JE environment is opened, JE runs
<span class="emphasis"><em>normal recovery</em></span>. This involves bringing your
database into a consistent state given the changed data found in the
database. If you are using transactions during normal operations, then
JE automatically runs checkpoints for you so as to limit the time
required to run this recovery. In any case, running normal recovery is a
routine operation, while performing database restores is not.
</p>
<p>
For more information on JE backup and restores, and on checkpoints, see

<p>
All data stored using the DPL has one primary index and
zero or more secondary indices associated with it.
(Sometimes these are referred to as the primary and
secondary <span class="emphasis"><em>keys</em></span>.) So to store data under the DPL, you must:
</p>
<div class="orderedlist">
<ol type="1">
<li>
<p>
Declare a class to be an entity class.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Identify the features on the class which
represent indexed material.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Retrieve the store's primary index for a
given class using the
<code class="methodname">EntityStore.getPrimaryIndex()</code>
method.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Put class objects to the store using the
<code class="methodname">PrimaryIndex.put()</code>
method.
</p>
</li>
</ol>
</div>
<p>
In order to retrieve an object from the store, you use
the index that is most convenient for your purpose. This
may be the primary index, or it may be some other
secondary index that you declared on your entity class.
</p>
<p>
You obtain a primary index in the same was as when you
put the object to the store: using
<code class="methodname">EntityStore.getPrimaryIndex()</code>.
You can get a secondary index for the store using the
<code class="methodname">EntityStore.getSecondaryIndex()</code>
method. Note that
<code class="methodname">getSecondaryIndex()</code> requires you
to provide a <code class="classname">PrimaryIndex</code> class
instance when you call it, so a class's primary index is
always required when retrieving objects from an entity
store.
</p>
<p>
Usually all of the activity surrounding saving and
retrieving data is organized within a class or classes
specialized to that purpose. We describe the construction
of these data accessor classes in <a class="xref" href="simpleda.html" title="SimpleDA.class">SimpleDA.class</a>. But before you perform
any entity store activity, you need to understand
indexes. We therefore describe them in the next chapter.

<span>Using Secondary Cursors</span>
</h2>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>
Just like cursors on a primary database, you can use
<span>secondary cursors</span>
to iterate over the records in a secondary database. Like
<span>normal cursors,</span>
you can also use
<span>secondary cursors</span>
to search for specific records in a database, to seek to the first
or last record in the database, to get the next duplicate record,
<span>to get the next non-duplicate record,</span>
and so forth. For a complete description on cursors and their capabilities, see
<a class="xref" href="Cursors.html" title="Chapter 9. Using Cursors">Using Cursors</a>.
</p>
<p>
However, when you use
<span>secondary cursors:</span>
</p>
<div class="itemizedlist">
<ul type="disc">
<li>
<p>
Any data returned is the data contained on the primary database
record referenced by the secondary record.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
<code class="methodname">SecondaryCursor.getSearchBoth()</code> and
related methods do not search based on a key/data pair. Instead, you
search based on a secondary key and a primary key. The data returned
is the primary data that most closely matches the two keys provided
for the search.
</p>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<p>
For example, suppose you are using the databases, classes, and key
<span>creators</span>
described in <a class="xref" href="keyCreator.html" title="Implementing Key Creators">Implementing Key
<span>Creators</span>
</a>.
Then the following searches for a person's
name in the secondary database, and deletes all secondary and primary
records that use that name.
</p>

<p>
In general, you
<span>can</span>
not modify a secondary database directly. In
order to modify a secondary database, you should modify the primary
database and simply allow JE to manage the secondary modifications for you.
</p>
<p>
However, as a convenience, you can delete
<code class="classname">SecondaryDatabase</code>
records directly. Doing so causes the associated primary key/data pair to be deleted.
This in turn causes JE to delete all
<code class="classname">SecondaryDatabase</code>
records that reference the primary record.
</p>
<p>
You can use the
<code class="methodname">SecondaryDatabase.delete()</code>
method to delete a secondary database record. Note that if your
<code class="classname">SecondaryDatabase</code>
contains duplicate records, then deleting a record from the set of
duplicates causes all of the duplicates to be deleted as well.
</p>
<div class="note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;">
<h3 class="title">Note</h3>
<p>
<span><code class="methodname">SecondaryDatabase.delete()</code> causes the
previously described delete operations to occur
</span>
only if the primary database is opened for write access.
</p>
</div>

<a id="je_index7"></a>
<pre class="programlisting">package je.gettingStarted;

// Delete the first secondary record that uses "John Doe" as

<p>
You retrieve objects placed in an entity store by using
either the object's primary index, or the appropriate
secondary index if it exists. The following application
illustrates this by retrieving some of the objects that
we placed in an entity store in the previous section.
</p>
<p>
To begin, we import the Java classes that our example
needs. We also instantiate the private data members that we
require.
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">package persist.gettingStarted;
import java.io.File;
import com.sleepycat.je.DatabaseException;
import com.sleepycat.je.Environment;
import com.sleepycat.je.EnvironmentConfig;
import com.sleepycat.persist.EntityStore;
import com.sleepycat.persist.StoreConfig;
public class SimpleStoreGet {
private static File envHome = new File("./JEDB");
private Environment envmnt;
private EntityStore store;
private SimpleDA sda; </pre>
<p>
Next we create a method that simply opens our database
environment and entity store for us.
</p>
<pre class="programlisting"> // The setup() method opens the environment and store
// for us.
public void setup()
throws DatabaseException {
EnvironmentConfig envConfig = new EnvironmentConfig();
StoreConfig storeConfig = new StoreConfig();
envConfig.setAllowCreate(true);
storeConfig.setAllowCreate(true);
// Open the environment and entity store
envmnt = new Environment(envHome, envConfig);
store = new EntityStore(envmnt, "EntityStore", storeConfig);
} </pre>
<p>
We also need a method to close our environment and store.
</p>
<pre class="programlisting"> // Close our environment and store.
public void shutdown()
throws DatabaseException {
store.close();
envmnt.close();
} </pre>
<p>
Now we retrieve a few objects. To do this, we instantiate a
<code class="classname">SimpleDA</code> (see <a class="xref" href="simpleda.html" title="SimpleDA.class">SimpleDA.class</a>) class that we use to access
our primary and secondary indexes. Then we retrieve objects
based on a primary or secondary index value. And finally, we
display the retrieved objects.
</p>
<pre class="programlisting"> // Retrieve some SimpleEntityClass objects from the store.
private void run()
throws DatabaseException {
setup();
// Open the data accessor. This is used to store
// persistent objects.
sda = new SimpleDA(store);
// Instantiate and store some entity classes
SimpleEntityClass sec1 = sda.pIdx.get("keyone");
SimpleEntityClass sec2 = sda.pIdx.get("keytwo");
SimpleEntityClass sec4 = sda.sIdx.get("skeythree");
System.out.println("sec1: " + sec1.getPKey());
System.out.println("sec2: " + sec2.getPKey());
System.out.println("sec4: " + sec4.getPKey());
shutdown();
} </pre>
<p>
Finally, to complete our class, we need a
<code class="methodname">main()</code> method, which simply calls our
<code class="methodname">run()</code> method.
</p>
<pre class="programlisting"> // main
public static void main(String args[]) {
SimpleStoreGet ssg = new SimpleStoreGet();
try {
ssg.run();
} catch (DatabaseException dbe) {
System.err.println("SimpleStoreGet: " + dbe.toString());
dbe.printStackTrace();
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println("Exception: " + e.toString());
e.printStackTrace();
}
System.out.println("All done.");
}
} </pre>

<p>
In order to place an object in a DPL entity store,
you must:
</p>
<div class="orderedlist">
<ol type="1">
<li>
<p>
Open the environment and store.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Instantiate the object.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Put the object to the store using the
<code class="methodname">put()</code> method
for the object's primary index.
</p>
<div class="note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;">
<h3 class="title">Note</h3>
<p>
A version of this method exists which allows you to
specify a Time to Live value for the record that you are
inserting. See <a class="xref" href="timetolive.html" title="Using Time to Live">Using Time to Live</a>
for more information.
</p>
</div>
</li>
</ol>
</div>
<p>
The following example uses the <code class="classname">SimpleDA</code>
class that we show in <a class="xref" href="simpleda.html" title="SimpleDA.class">SimpleDA.class</a> to put a
<code class="classname">SimpleEntityClass</code> object (see
<a class="xref" href="persist_access.html#simpleentity" title="A Simple Entity Class">A Simple Entity Class</a>) to the
entity store.
</p>
<p>
To begin, we import the Java classes that our example
needs. We also instantiate the private data members that we
require.
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">package persist.gettingStarted;
import java.io.File;
import com.sleepycat.je.DatabaseException;
import com.sleepycat.je.Environment;
import com.sleepycat.je.EnvironmentConfig;
import com.sleepycat.persist.EntityStore;
import com.sleepycat.persist.StoreConfig;
public class SimpleStorePut {
private static File envHome = new File("./JEDB");
private Environment envmnt;
private EntityStore store;
private SimpleDA sda; </pre>
<p>
Next we create a method that simply opens our database
environment and entity store for us.
</p>
<pre class="programlisting"> // The setup() method opens the environment and store
// for us.
public void setup()
throws DatabaseException {
EnvironmentConfig envConfig = new EnvironmentConfig();
StoreConfig storeConfig = new StoreConfig();
envConfig.setAllowCreate(true);
storeConfig.setAllowCreate(true);
// Open the environment and entity store
envmnt = new Environment(envHome, envConfig);
store = new EntityStore(envmnt, "EntityStore", storeConfig);
} </pre>
<p>
We also need a method to close our environment and store.
</p>
<pre class="programlisting"> // Close our environment and store.
public void shutdown()
throws DatabaseException {
store.close();
envmnt.close();
} </pre>
<p>
Now we need to create a method to actually write objects to our
store. This method creates a <code class="classname">SimpleDA</code>
object (see <a class="xref" href="simpleda.html" title="SimpleDA.class">SimpleDA.class</a>) that we
will use to access our indexes. Then we instantiate a series
of <code class="classname">SimpleEntityClass</code> (see <a class="xref" href="persist_access.html#simpleentity" title="A Simple Entity Class">A Simple Entity Class</a>)
objects that we
will place in our store. Finally, we use our primary index
(obtained from the <code class="classname">SimpleDA</code> class
instance) to actually place these objects in our store.
</p>
<p>
In <a class="xref" href="simpleget.html" title="Retrieving Objects from an Entity Store">Retrieving Objects from an Entity Store</a>
we show a class that is used to retrieve these objects.
</p>
<pre class="programlisting"> // Populate the entity store
private void run()
throws DatabaseException {
setup();
// Open the data accessor. This is used to store
// persistent objects.
sda = new SimpleDA(store);
// Instantiate and store some entity classes
SimpleEntityClass sec1 = new SimpleEntityClass();
SimpleEntityClass sec2 = new SimpleEntityClass();
SimpleEntityClass sec3 = new SimpleEntityClass();
SimpleEntityClass sec4 = new SimpleEntityClass();
SimpleEntityClass sec5 = new SimpleEntityClass();
sec1.setPKey("keyone");
sec1.setSKey("skeyone");
sec2.setPKey("keytwo");
sec2.setSKey("skeyone");
sec3.setPKey("keythree");
sec3.setSKey("skeytwo");
sec4.setPKey("keyfour");
sec4.setSKey("skeythree");
sec5.setPKey("keyfive");
sec5.setSKey("skeyfour");
sda.pIdx.put(sec1);
sda.pIdx.put(sec2);
sda.pIdx.put(sec3);
sda.pIdx.put(sec4);
sda.pIdx.put(sec5);
shutdown();
} </pre>
<p>
Finally, to complete our class, we need a
<code class="methodname">main()</code> method, which simply calls our
<code class="methodname">run()</code> method.
</p>
<pre class="programlisting"> // main
public static void main(String args[]) {
SimpleStorePut ssp = new SimpleStorePut();
try {
ssp.run();
} catch (DatabaseException dbe) {
System.err.println("SimpleStorePut: " + dbe.toString());
dbe.printStackTrace();
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println("Exception: " + e.toString());
e.printStackTrace();
}
System.out.println("All done.");
}
} </pre>

<span>
<p>
Time to Live (TTL) is a mechanism that allows you to automatically
expire
<span>database records.</span>
TTL is expressed as the amount of time data is allowed to live in
the
<span>database.</span>
Data which has reached its expiration timeout value can no longer
be retrieved, and will not appear in any
<span>database</span>
statistics. Whether the data is physically removed from the
<span>database</span>
is determined by an internal mechanism that is not
user-controllable.
</p>
<p>
TTL represents a minimum guaranteed time to live. Data expires on
hour or day boundaries. This means that with a one hour TTL, there
can be as much as two hours worth of unexpired data. For example
(using a time format of hour:minute:second), given a one hour TTL,
data written between 00:00:00.000 and 00:59:59.999 will expire at
02:00:00.000 because the data is guaranteed to expire no less than
one hour from when it is written.
</p>
<p>
Expired data is invisible to queries and
<span>database</span>
statistics, but even so it is using disk space until it has been
purged. The expired data is purged from disk at some point in
time after its expiration date. The exact time when the data is
purged is driven by internal mechanisms and the workload on your
<span>database.</span>
</p>
<p>
The TTL value for a
<span>database record</span>
can be updated at any time before the expiration value has been
reached. Data that has expired can no longer be modified, and this
includes its TTL value.
</p>
<p>
TTL is more efficient than manual user-deletion of the
<span>record</span>
because it avoids the overhead of writing a database log entry for
the data deletion. The deletion also does not appear in the
replication stream.
</p>
<p>
The following provides a brief introduction to using Time to Live.
For a more complete description of this mechanism, see the
<a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/WriteOptions.html" target="_top">
com.sleepycat.je.WriteOptions javadoc.
</a>
</p>

<div class="sect2" lang="en" xml:lang="en">
<div class="titlepage">
<div>
<div>
<h3 class="title"><a id="ttl-specify"></a>Specifying a TTL Value</h3>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>
TTL values are specified on a record by record basis using
the <code class="classname">WriteOptions</code> class, which can
but used by various <code class="methodname">put()</code> methods
when writing to the database. For example, variations of
<code class="methodname">Database.put()</code>,
<code class="methodname">PrimaryIndex.put()</code>, and
<code class="methodname">Cursor.put()</code> exist that accept a
<code class="classname">WriteOptions</code> class instance.
</p>
<p>
<code class="classname">WriteOptions</code> allows
you to identify the number of days or hours the record will exist
in the database before expiring. A duration interval specified in
days is recommended because this results in the least amount of
storage consumed in the store. However, if you want a TTL value
that is not an even multiple of days, then specify the TTL
value in hours.
</p>
<p>
The code example from
<a class="xref" href="usingDbt.html#databaseWrite" title="Writing Records to the Database">Writing Records to the Database</a>
can be extended to specify a TTL value of 5 days like this:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">package je.gettingStarted;
import com.sleepycat.je.Database;
import com.sleepycat.je.DatabaseEntry;
<strong class="userinput"><code>import com.sleepycat.je.Put;
import com.sleepycat.je.WriteOptions;</code></strong>
...
// Environment and database opens omitted for clarity.
// Environment and database must NOT be opened read-only.
String aKey = "myFirstKey";
String aData = "myFirstData";
try {
DatabaseEntry theKey = new DatabaseEntry(aKey.getBytes("UTF-8"));
DatabaseEntry theData = new DatabaseEntry(aData.getBytes("UTF-8"));
<strong class="userinput"><code>WriteOptions wo = new WriteOptions();
// This sets the TTL using day units. Another variation
// of setTTL() exists that accepts a TimeUnit class instance.
wo.setTTL(5);
myDatabase.put(null, // Transaction handle.
theKey, // Record's key.
theData, // Record's data.
Put.NO_OVERWRITE, // If the record exists,
// do not overwrite it.
wo); // WriteOptions instance.</code></strong>
} catch (Exception e) {
// Exception handling goes here
} </pre>
</div>
<div class="sect2" lang="en" xml:lang="en">
<div class="titlepage">
<div>
<div>
<h3 class="title"><a id="ttl-update"></a>Updating a TTL Value</h3>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>
To update the expiration time for a record, you update the
record as normal, and at the same time specify the new expiration
time. However, you must also indicate that the expiration time
is to be updated. By default, you can modify the record and
the expiration time will not be modified, even if you specify a
new TTL value for the record.
</p>
<p>
To indicate that the the expiration time is to be updated,
specify <code class="literal">true</code> to the
<code class="methodname">WriteOptions.setUpdateTTL()</code>
method. For example, using the previous example, to change
the TTL value to 10 days, do the following:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">package je.gettingStarted;
import com.sleepycat.je.Database;
import com.sleepycat.je.DatabaseEntry;
import com.sleepycat.je.Put;
import com.sleepycat.je.WriteOptions;
...
// Environment and database opens omitted for clarity.
// Environment and database must NOT be opened read-only.
String aKey = "myFirstKey";
String aData = "myFirstData";
try {
DatabaseEntry theKey = new DatabaseEntry(aKey.getBytes("UTF-8"));
DatabaseEntry theData = new DatabaseEntry(aData.getBytes("UTF-8"));
WriteOptions wo = new WriteOptions();
// This sets the TTL using day units. Another variation
// of setTTL() exists that accepts a TimeUnit class instance.
wo.setTTL(5);
<strong class="userinput"><code>// If the record currently exists, update the TTL value
wo.setUpdateTTL(true);</code></strong>
myDatabase.put(null, // Transaction handle.
theKey, // Record's key.
theData, // Record's data.
<strong class="userinput"><code>Put.OVERWRITE, // If the record exists,
// overwrite it.</code></strong>
wo); // WriteOptions instance.
} catch (Exception e) {
// Exception handling goes here
} </pre>
</div>
<div class="sect2" lang="en" xml:lang="en">
<div class="titlepage">
<div>
<div>
<h3 class="title"><a id="ttl-remove"></a>Deleting TTL Expiration</h3>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>
If you have set a TTL value for a record and you later decide you
do not want it to ever automatically expire, you can turn off
TTL by setting a TTL value of <code class="literal">0</code>:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">package je.gettingStarted;
import com.sleepycat.je.Database;
import com.sleepycat.je.DatabaseEntry;
import com.sleepycat.je.Put;
import com.sleepycat.je.WriteOptions;

String aKey = "myFirstKey";
String aData = "myFirstData";
try {

DatabaseEntry theData = new DatabaseEntry(aData.getBytes("UTF-8"));
WriteOptions wo = new WriteOptions();
<strong class="userinput"><code>// Turn off automatic expiration of this record.

wo.setUpdateTTL(true);
myDatabase.put(null, // Transaction handle.

<p>
When reading and writing database records, be aware that there are some
slight differences in behavior depending on whether your database supports duplicate
records. Two or more database records are considered to be duplicates of
one another if they share the same key. The collection of records
sharing the same key are called a <span class="emphasis"><em>duplicates set.</em></span>
</p>
<p>
By default, JE databases do
not support duplicate records. Where duplicate records are supported,
cursors (see below) are used
to access all of the records in the duplicates set.
</p>
<p>
JE provides two basic mechanisms for the storage and retrieval of database
key/data pairs:
</p>
<div class="itemizedlist">
<ul type="disc">
<li>
<p>
The
<code class="methodname">Database.put()</code>
and
<code class="methodname">Database.get()</code>
methods provide the easiest access for all non-duplicate records in the database.
These methods are described in this section.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Cursors provide several methods for putting and getting database
records. Cursors and their database access methods are described in
<a class="xref" href="Cursors.html" title="Chapter 9. Using Cursors">Using Cursors</a>.</p>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="sect2" lang="en" xml:lang="en">
<div class="titlepage">
<div>
<div>
<h3 class="title"><a id="databaseWrite"></a>Writing Records to the Database</h3>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>
Database records are stored in the internal BTree based on
whatever sorting routine is available to the database. Records are
sorted first by their key. If the database supports duplicate records,
then the records for a specific key are sorted by their data.
</p>
<p>
By default, JE sorts both keys and the data portion of duplicate
records using unsigned byte-by-byte
lexicographic comparisons. This default comparison works well for the
majority of cases. However, in some case performance benefits can be
realized by overriding the default comparison routine. See <a class="xref" href="comparator.html" title="Using Comparators">Using Comparators</a> for more information.
</p>
<p>You can use the following methods to put database records:</p>
<div class="itemizedlist">
<ul type="disc">
<li>
<p>
<code class="methodname">Database.put()</code>
</p>
<p>
Puts a database record into the database. If your database does not
support duplicate records, and if the provided key already exists in
the database, then the currently existing record is replaced with
the new data.
</p>
<p>
Be aware that version of this method exists which accepts a
<code class="classname">Put</code> enum. If <code class="literal">Put.OVERWRITE</code>
is provided, then existing database records are
overwritten. If <code class="literal">Put.NO_OVERWRITE</code> is
provided, then existing records will not be overwritten.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
<code class="methodname">Database.putNoOverwrite()</code>
</p>
<p>
Disallows overwriting (replacing) an existing record in the
database. If the provided key already exists in the database,
then this method returns
<code class="literal">OperationStatus.KEYEXIST</code> even if
the database supports duplicates.
</p>
<span>
</span>
</li>
<li>
<p>
<code class="methodname">Database.putNoDupData()</code>
</p>
<p>
Puts a database record into the database. If the provided key
and data already exists in the database (that is, if you are
attempting to put a record that compares equally to an existing
record), then this returns
<code class="literal">OperationStatus.KEYEXIST</code>.
</p>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<p>
When you put database records, you provide both the key and the data as
<code class="classname">DatabaseEntry</code> objects. This means you must
convert your key and data into a Java <code class="literal">byte</code> array. For
example:
</p>
<a id="je_dbt3"></a>
<pre class="programlisting">package je.gettingStarted;
import com.sleepycat.je.Database;
import com.sleepycat.je.DatabaseEntry;
...
// Environment and database opens omitted for clarity.
// Environment and database must NOT be opened read-only.
String aKey = "myFirstKey";
String aData = "myFirstData";
try {
DatabaseEntry theKey = new DatabaseEntry(aKey.getBytes("UTF-8"));
DatabaseEntry theData = new DatabaseEntry(aData.getBytes("UTF-8"));
myDatabase.put(null, theKey, theData);
} catch (Exception e) {
// Exception handling goes here
} </pre>
</div>
<div class="sect2" lang="en" xml:lang="en">
<div class="titlepage">
<div>
<div>
<h3 class="title"><a id="databaseRead"></a>Getting Records from the Database</h3>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>
The <code class="classname">Database</code> class provides several
methods that you can use to retrieve database records. Note that if your
database supports duplicate records, then these methods will only ever
return the first record in a duplicate set. For this reason, if your
database supports duplicates, you should use a cursor to retrieve
records from it. Cursors are described in <a class="xref" href="Cursors.html" title="Chapter 9. Using Cursors">Using Cursors</a>.
</p>
<p>
You can use either of the following methods to retrieve records from the database:
</p>
<div class="itemizedlist">
<ul type="disc">
<li>
<p>
<code class="methodname">Database.get()</code>
</p>
<p>Retrieves the record whose key matches the key provided to the
method. If no records exists that uses the provided key, then
<code class="literal">OperationStatus.NOTFOUND</code> is returned.</p>
<span>
</span>
</li>
<li>
<p>
<code class="methodname">Database.getSearchBoth()</code>
</p>
<p>Retrieve the record whose key matches both the key and the data
provided to the method. If no record exists that uses the provided
key and data, then <code class="literal">OperationStatus.NOTFOUND</code> is
returned.</p>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<p>Both the key and data for a database record are returned as
byte arrays in <code class="classname">DatabaseEntry</code> objects. These objects are
passed as parameter values to the <code class="methodname">Database.get()</code> method.
</p>
<p>In order to retrieve your data once <code class="classname">Database.get()</code>
has completed, you must retrieve the <code class="literal">byte</code> array stored
in the <code class="classname">DatabaseEntry</code> and then convert that
<code class="literal">byte</code> array back to the
appropriate datatype. For example:</p>
<a id="je_dbt4"></a>
<pre class="programlisting">package je.gettingStarted;
import com.sleepycat.je.Database;
import com.sleepycat.je.DatabaseEntry;
import com.sleepycat.je.LockMode;
import com.sleepycat.je.OperationStatus;
...
// Environment and database opens omitted for clarity.
// Environment and database may be opened read-only.
String aKey = "myFirstKey";
try {
// Create a pair of DatabaseEntry objects. theKey
// is used to perform the search. theData is used
// to store the data returned by the get() operation.
DatabaseEntry theKey = new DatabaseEntry(aKey.getBytes("UTF-8"));
DatabaseEntry theData = new DatabaseEntry();
// Perform the get.
if (myDatabase.get(null, theKey, theData, LockMode.DEFAULT) ==
OperationStatus.SUCCESS) {
// Recreate the data String.
byte[] retData = theData.getData();
String foundData = new String(retData, "UTF-8");
System.out.println("For key: '" + aKey + "' found data: '" +
foundData + "'.");
} else {
System.out.println("No record found for key '" + aKey + "'.");
}
} catch (Exception e) {
// Exception handling goes here
}</pre>
</div>
<div class="sect2" lang="en" xml:lang="en">
<div class="titlepage">
<div>
<div>
<h3 class="title"><a id="recordDelete"></a>Deleting Records</h3>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>
You can use the
<code class="methodname">Database.delete()</code>
method to delete a record from the database. If your database supports
duplicate records, then all records associated with the provided key are
deleted. To delete just one record from a list of duplicates, use a
cursor. Cursors are described in <a class="xref" href="Cursors.html" title="Chapter 9. Using Cursors">Using Cursors</a>.
</p>
<p>
You can also delete every record in the database by using
<code class="methodname">Environment.truncateDatabase().</code>
</p>
<p>For example:</p>
<a id="je_dbt5"></a>
<pre class="programlisting">package je.gettingStarted;
import com.sleepycat.je.Database;
import com.sleepycat.je.DatabaseEntry;
...
// Environment and database opens omitted for clarity.
// Environment and database can NOT be opened read-only.
try {
String aKey = "myFirstKey";
DatabaseEntry theKey = new DatabaseEntry(aKey.getBytes("UTF-8"));
// Perform the deletion. All records that use this key are
// deleted.
myDatabase.delete(null, theKey);
} catch (Exception e) {
// Exception handling goes here
}</pre>
</div>
<div class="sect2" lang="en" xml:lang="en">
<div class="titlepage">
<div>
<div>
<h3 class="title"><a id="datapersist"></a>Data Persistence</h3>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>
When you perform a database modification, your modification is made
in the in-memory cache. This means that your data modifications
are not necessarily flushed to disk, and so your data may not appear
in the database after an application restart.
</p>
<p>
Therefore, if you care if your data is durable across system
failures, and to guard against the rare possibility of
database corruption, you should use transactions to protect your
database modifications. Every time you commit a transaction, JE
ensures that the data will not be lost due to application or
system failure. Transaction usage is described in the
<span>
<em class="citetitle">Berkeley DB, Java Edition Getting Started with Transaction Processing</em> guide.
</span>
</p>
<p>
If you do not want to use transactions, then the assumption is that
your data is of a nature that it need not exist the next time your
application starts. You may want this if, for example, you are using
JE to cache data relevant only to the current application
runtime.
</p>
<p>
If, however, you are not using transactions for some reason and you
still want some guarantee that your database modifications are
persistent, then you should periodically
<span>run environment syncs.</span>
Syncs cause any dirty entries in the in-memory cache and the
operating system's file cache to be written to disk. As
such, they are quite expensive and you should use them sparingly.
</p>
<p>
Note that by default, a sync is run every time you close an environment.
You can also run a sync by calling the <code class="methodname">Environment.sync()</code>
method.
</p>
<p>
For a brief description of how JE manages its data in the cache
and in the log files, and how sync works, see <a class="xref" href="backuprestore.html#databaselogs" title="Databases and Log Files">Databases and Log Files</a>.

<p>
As described in <a class="xref" href="utilities.html#node-addremove" title="Adding and Removing Nodes from the Group">Adding and Removing Nodes from the Group</a>,
a node is added to the replication group simply by starting it up
and allowing it to perform its start-up handshake with the
Master. Once an electable node has been added to the replication
group, it belongs to the replication group forever, or until you
explicitly remove it. Also, the node is uniquely identified within
the replication group by a name that you must give it when you start
up the process.
</p>
<p>
This is worth remembering, because if you have electable nodes that
have been added to the replication group, but which you then
shutdown for a long period of time, your replication group might not
be able to perform a lot of tasks, such as:
</p>
<div class="orderedlist">
<ol type="1">
<li>
<p>
Elect a Master.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Add a new node to the replicated group.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Delete a node from the replication group.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Successfully commit a transaction (this depends on the
durability guarantees in place for your application).
</p>
</li>
</ol>
</div>
<p>
All of these actions might be adversely affected by a series of
unavailable electable nodes because in order to do these things the
Master must be in contact with a majority of the electable nodes
belonging to the replication group (Monitor and Secondary nodes do
not count). So if too many electable nodes are either shutdown or
unavailable due to a network partition event, then these functions
can become delayed or even completely unavailable.
</p>
<p>
For this reason, if you have electable nodes that you want to
shutdown for a long time, then you should remove those nodes from
the replication group. JE provides a utility class that allows
for node removal, so your application developer should have provided
you with a tool of some kind that allows you to do this as a normal
administrative function.
</p>
<p>
When removing an electable node from the replication group, remember
that:
</p>
<div class="itemizedlist">
<ul type="disc">
<li>
<p>
for best results, shut down the node first.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
a majority of the nodes must currently be in contact with
the Master in order to acknowledge the node removal.
</p>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<p>
If at some later time you want to restart the node and have it
join the replication group, you can do this using the normal
procedure that your application uses when starting a node for
the first time. Be aware, however, that you cannot reuse the
unique name that the node was using when you removed it from
the group as an electable node. Instead, give the node a
completely new unique name before having it rejoin the
replication group.

This chapter describes issues pertaining to running a JE
replication application. The topics discussed here have to do with
hardware configuration, backups, node configuration, and other
management issues that exist once the application has been
placed into production.
</p>
<div class="sect1" lang="en" xml:lang="en">
<div class="titlepage">
<div>
<div>
<h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a id="hardware"></a>Hardware</h2>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>
A JE replicated application should run well on typical
commodity multi-core hardware, although greater hardware
requirements than this may be driven by the architecture of your
particular application. Check with the software developers who
wrote your JE replicated application for any additional
requirements they may have over and above typical
multi-core hardware.
</p>
<p>
That said, keep the following in mind when putting a JE
replication application into production:
</p>
<div class="itemizedlist">
<ul type="disc">
<li>
<p>
Examine the hardware you intend to use, and review it for
common points of failure between nodes in the replication
groups, such as shared power supplies, routers and so
forth.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
The hardware that you use does not have to be identical
across the entire production hardware. However, it is
important to ensure that the least capable electable node
has the resources to function as the Master.
</p>
<p>
The Master is typically the node where demand for machine
resources is the greatest. It needs to supply the
replication streams for each active Replica, in addition
to servicing the transaction load.
</p>
<p>
Note that JE requires Monitor nodes to have minimal
resource consumption (although, again, your application
developers may have written your Monitor nodes such that
they need resources over and above what JE requires),
because Monitor nodes only listen for changes in the
replication group.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Finally, your network is a critical part of your hardware
requirements. It is critical that your network be capable
of delivering adequate throughput under peak expected
production work loads.
</p>
<p>
Remember that your replicated application can consume
quite a lot of network resources when a Replica starts up
for the first time, or starts up after being shutdown for
a long time. This is because the Replica must obtain all
the data that it needs to operate. Essentially, this is a
duplicate of the data contained by the Master node. So
however much data the Master node holds, that much data
will be transmitted across your network <span class="emphasis"><em>per
node</em></span> every time you start a new node.
</p>
<p>
For restarting nodes, the amount of data that will cross
your network is equal to the delta between the time the
Replica last shutdown and the state of your Master node
at the time that the Replica is starting up again. If the
Replica has been down for a long time (days or weeks),
this can be quite a lot of data, depending on your Master
node's workload.
</p>
<p>
Be aware, however, that restarting nodes do not have to
get their data from the Master node. It is possible for
them to catch up, or nearly catch up, using data obtained
from some other currently running Replica. See
<a class="xref" href="logfile-restore.html" title="Restoring Log Files">Restoring Log Files</a>
for more information.
</p>
<p>
Good application performance also depends on the
latency of network connections used by electable and
monitor nodes to perform elections, report election
results, and obtain acknowledgments. Consider
deploying secondary nodes on machines with higher
latency connections to the other members of the
replication group, keeping in mind that these nodes
still have the same throughput requirements as
electable nodes.

For best results, you are strongly recommended to synchronize the
clocks on all the machines hosting your production
replication group. Running a time synchronization daemon like
<a class="ulink" href="http://www.ntp.org/" target="_top">NTPD</a> is a simple way to
keep time synchronized across your replication machines. Once the
clocks are set, they are maintained by ntpd so that they rarely
stray more than 128ms away from one another.
</p>
<p>
Be aware the JE checks for clock skew between the Master and
a starting Replica node, when the Replica node performs its
startup handshake with the Master. (See
<a class="xref" href="lifecycle.html#lifecycle-nodestartup" title="Replica Startup">Replica Startup</a>
for information on the startup handshake.) If the clock skew between
the two nodes is too large, the handshake is aborted and JE
throws an <a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/EnvironmentFailureException.html" target="_top">EnvironmentFailureException</a>.
</p>
<p>
Also, well-synchronized clocks are required for a proper
implementation of a time consistency policy (see
<a class="xref" href="consistency.html#timeconsistency" title="Time Consistency Policies">Time Consistency Policies</a>).
It is also required for correct internal booking by JE.
</p>
<p>
Finally, synchronized system clocks make it easier to correlate
events in the logging output from different nodes in the group.

A key difference between standalone JE and JE HA is
that for standalone JE the environment is available for
both reads and writes as long as the application (including
the underlying hardware) is functioning correctly. That is,
the availability of a standalone JE application is
independent of the local durability policy set for the
transaction. However, the distributed nature of JE HA, means
that availability can be dependent upon the state of other
nodes in the replication group. It can also be dependent upon
the policies you set for your HA application.
</p>
<div class="sect2" lang="en" xml:lang="en">
<div class="titlepage">
<div>
<div>
<h3 class="title"><a id="writeavailability"></a>Write Availability</h3>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>
JE HA requires that a simple majority of electable nodes be
available to elect a Master. If a simple majority of those
nodes is not available, the group is not available for
writes because the group is unable to elect a Master.
</p>
<p>
In the presence of a Master, the availability of a
replicated environment (at the Master) for write
operations is determined by the durability
requirements associated with the transaction:
</p>
<div class="itemizedlist">
<ul type="disc">
<li>
<p>
If the transaction's durability requirements
specify an acknowledgement policy of NONE, the
Master is always available for write operations,
just as is the case for standalone JE
applications.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
If the durability requirements are made more
stringent and specify a simple majority for
acknowledgements, or if all
the electable group members must acknowledge transaction
commits, the environment might not be available for
writes when one or more of the Electable Replicas is unable
to provide an acknowledgment. This loss of write
availability can occur even in the absence of
hardware failures.
</p>
<p>
Replicas might be unable to provide
acknowledgements because a node is down. It could
also occur if the Replica is simply lagging
too far behind in the replication stream and so
needs to commit earlier transactions before it can
commit the current transaction. Note that in the
absence of system level failures, the Replica will
eventually commit the transaction, it just can not
do so in the window of time required to indicate a
successful commit of the transaction to the Master.
</p>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<p>
In other words, a durability policy that calls for commit
acknowledgments can result in decreased availability of
the system for write operations. It is important for
you to keep this tradeoff in mind when choosing a
durability policy.
</p>
</div>
<div class="sect2" lang="en" xml:lang="en">
<div class="titlepage">
<div>
<div>
<h3 class="title"><a id="readavailability"></a>Read Availability</h3>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>
A Master is always available for read operations because
the data on it is always absolutely consistent. However,
Replica read availability can be affected by the
consistency policy that you are using:
</p>
<div class="itemizedlist">
<ul type="disc">
<li>
<p>
A Replica is always available for read operations
that do not have any read consistency requirements.
That is, when the Replica is allowed to lag
arbitrarily far behind the Master, then the Replica
will always be available to service read requests.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
If you are using higher levels of read consistency,
then Replicas might not be available for read
operations. This occurs when the Replica is forced
to wait until it has caught up far enough in the
replication stream before it can service a read
operation. For example, if you choose a time
consistency policy, and the the Replica cannot meet
that consistency policy for a specific read
operation, then the operation might be delayed or
even abandoned entirely until the consistency
policy can be met. This represents a loss of read
availability.
</p>
<p>
There are many reasons why a Replica might not be
able to meet a consistency policy. For example,
the Master might be very busy and so is unable to
supply the Replica with the replication stream
fast enough. Or, it could be because the Replica
is experiencing very heavy read loads and so
the replication stream might not be fast enough
to keep up. It is also possible that the Replica
has been down and is trying to catch up, which
means that it might not be able to meet a
consistency policy.
</p>
<p>
All of these scenarios represent a loss of read
availability, albeit a temporary one.
</p>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<p>
In other words, a consistency policy that requires the
Replica to match the state of the Master to one degree or
another can affect the Replica's read availability. It
is important for you to keep this tradeoff in mind when
choosing a consistency policy.

<p>
Because JE replication causes a current copy of your
environment to be available at every data node in the group, the need
for frequent backups is greatly reduced. Basically, every time a
change is made on the Master, that change is backed up to every
Replica node currently running. The result is that for each write
operation you get a real-time incremental backup to
<span class="emphasis"><em>n-1</em></span> nodes, where <span class="emphasis"><em>n</em></span> are
the total number of data nodes (including the Master) currently
running in your replication group.
</p>
<p>
For this reason, JE does not currently support formal
incremental backups of replicated environments. An application
based upon the <a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/util/DbBackup.html" target="_top">DbBackup</a> utility class can be written to allow
administrators to create full backups. This is useful for
creating a backup to be stored on offline media, if your data
strategy calls for that level of protection.
</p>
<p>
Remember that when performing a full backup, you should obtain
the backup from a node that is current. Either use the Master
node itself, or use a Replica node that must acknowledge a
transaction commit before the commit operation can complete on
the Master.
</p>
<p>
Note that <a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/util/DbBackup.html" target="_top">DbBackup</a> has some functionality that
is specifically useful for replicated environments. See
<a class="xref" href="dbbackup.html" title="Backing up a Replicated Application">Backing up a Replicated Application</a>

<p>
As discussed throughout this chapter, there is an interaction
between consistency and durability. This interaction results in
design decisions that you will have to make when designing your
HA application. To further illustrate this interaction, this
section provides several use cases as examples of how
durability and consistency policies are used to reach
application design goals.
</p>
<div class="sect2" lang="en" xml:lang="en">
<div class="titlepage">
<div>
<div>
<h3 class="title"><a id="outonthetown"></a>Out on the Town</h3>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>
<span class="emphasis"><em>Out on the Town</em></span> is a social networking
site about restaurants and artistic events. Restaurant
locations and an event calendar are available on the site.
Members can submit reviews about restaurants and events,
and other members can comment on the reviews. Further,
members maintain accounts and profiles.
</p>
<p>
The site experiences most of its traffic as read-only
requests. There is heavy read traffic from users who are
browsing the site. In addition, periodic write traffic
occurs as reviews and comments are submitted to the site.
</p>
<div class="sect3" lang="en" xml:lang="en">
<div class="titlepage">
<div>
<div>
<h4 class="title"><a id="oott-readreviews"></a>Reading Reviews</h4>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>
Based on the site's usage characteristics, the web developers
know that it is critical that the site perform well for read traffic.
Listings must be readily available, and the site must be
able to adapt to changing read loads. However, the site
only needs a low threshold for most reads.
</p>
<p>
While users should not experience a delay when they
access the site, it is okay if read requests do not see
the very latest reviews. For this reason, when starting
read-only transactions for the purpose of viewing
reviews, the application specifies a consistency policy
of <a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/rep/NoConsistencyRequiredPolicy.html" target="_top">NoConsistencyRequiredPolicy</a>. This provides the highest
possible availability for read requests for the Replica
nodes, which is the critical thing for this particular
site. (Any other consistency policy might cause the
node to delay reads while waiting for the node to meet
its consistency policy, which would represent an
unacceptable loss of availability as it could cost the
site lost readership.)
</p>
</div>
<div class="sect3" lang="en" xml:lang="en">
<div class="titlepage">
<div>
<div>
<h4 class="title"><a id="oott-writereviews"></a>Writing Reviews</h4>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>
Most write operations are for new user reviews, and for comments on those
reviews. For these writes, the application needs only a very lenient durability
policy. It is not critical that a new review is immediately
available to other users, nor is it critical that they are saved in the event of
a catastrophic failure.
</p>
<p>
Therefore, the application uses the convenience
constant <a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/Durability.html#COMMIT_WRITE_NO_SYNC" target="_top">Durability.COMMIT_WRITE_NO_SYNC</a> as the system default durability
policy. (This is done by specifying the durability policy using
<a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/EnvironmentMutableConfig.html#setDurability(com.sleepycat.je.Durability)" target="_top">EnvironmentMutableConfig.setDurability()</a>.) This means:
</p>
<div class="itemizedlist">
<ul type="disc">
<li>
<p>
Write operations on the Master use
<a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/Durability.SyncPolicy.html#WRITE_NO_SYNC" target="_top">Durability.SyncPolicy.WRITE_NO_SYNC</a>.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
When the write operation is forwarded by the Master to the Replicas, those Replicas use
<a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/Durability.SyncPolicy.html#NO_SYNC" target="_top">Durability.SyncPolicy.NO_SYNC</a> when they internally update their own
databases.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Only a simple majority of the Electable nodes need to acknowledge the
update.
</p>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
<div class="sect3" lang="en" xml:lang="en">
<div class="titlepage">
<div>
<div>
<h4 class="title"><a id="oott-updateevents"></a>Updating Events and Restaurant Listings</h4>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>
Periodically, the calendar of events and restaurant locations are updated. These
write operations happen fairly infrequently relative to reviews and comments,
but the site's operators deem this information to be of more importance (or
valuable) than the reviews and comments. Therefore, they want a stronger
guarantee that the information is backed up to all nodes, which is the same
thing as saying they want a stronger durability guarantee. Nevertheless, they
also want this class of writes to consume few resources.
</p>
<p>
To achieve this, for transactions performing these kind of writes, the web
engineers choose to override the site's default durability guarantee. Instead,
they use a durability guarantee that:
</p>
<div class="itemizedlist">
<ul type="disc">
<li>
<p>
Uses <a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/Durability.SyncPolicy.html#SYNC" target="_top">Durability.SyncPolicy.SYNC</a> for the local synchronization policy.
This ensures that the write is fully backed up to the Master's local
disk before the transaction commit operation returns.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Uses <a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/Durability.SyncPolicy.html#WRITE_NO_SYNC" target="_top">Durability.SyncPolicy.WRITE_NO_SYNC</a> for the synchronization
policy on the Replica nodes. This causes the updates to be written to
the disk controller's buffers, but they are not flushed to disk before
the Electable Replicas acknowledge the commit operation.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Stays with a simply majority for acknowledgements, which is the same as
is used for the default durability policy.
</p>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<p>
That is, for updating events and restaurant locations, the application uses this
durability policy:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting"> useForUpdates =
new Durability(Durability.SyncPolicy.SYNC,
Durability.SyncPolicy.WRITE_NO_SYNC,
Durability.ReplicaAckPolicy.SIMPLE_MAJORITY); </pre>
</div>
<div class="sect3" lang="en" xml:lang="en">
<div class="titlepage">
<div>
<div>
<h4 class="title"><a id="oott-updateprofile"></a>Updating Account Profiles</h4>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>
If a user makes an account profile change as part of a
web session, she will naturally expect to see her
changes when she next looks at the profile during the
same session. From the user's perspective, this is all
one operation: she causes her profile to change and
then the profile page is refreshed with her new
information.
</p>
<p>
However, from the application's perspective, there are
several things going on:
</p>
<div class="itemizedlist">
<ul type="disc">
<li>
<p>
A write transaction is performed on the Master.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
One or more read transactions are performed on the
Replica node in use by the user as she updates
her profile and then reads back the changes she
just made.
</p>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<p>
To ensure that the session interaction looks
intuitively consistent to the user, the application:
</p>
<div class="itemizedlist">
<ul type="disc">
<li>
<p>
Performs the write transaction on the Master.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Saves the <a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/CommitToken.html" target="_top">CommitToken</a> for the account profile
update within the web session.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
The Replica node uses a <a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/rep/CommitPointConsistencyPolicy.html" target="_top">CommitPointConsistencyPolicy</a> policy for the
follow-on account profile read(s). To do this, the application uses the
<a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/CommitToken.html" target="_top">CommitToken</a> stored in the previous step when beginning the read
transactions. In this way, the Replica will not serve up the new profile
page until it has received the profile updates from the Master. From the
user's perspective, there may be a delay in her page refresh when she
submits her updates. How long of a delay experienced by the user is a
function of how busy the site is with write updates, as well as the
performance characteristics of the hardware and networks in use by the
site.

<p>
<span class="emphasis"><em>Bio Labs, Inc</em></span> is a biotech company that is doing pharmaceutical
production which must be audited by government agencies. Production sampling results
are logged frequently. All such updates must be guaranteed to be backed up. (In
other words, this application requires a very high durability guarantee.)
</p>
<p>
In addition, there are frequent application defined sample points that represent
phases in the production cycle. The application performs monitoring of the
production stream. These reads are time critical, so the data must be no older
than a specific point in time.
</p>
<div class="sect3" lang="en" xml:lang="en">
<div class="titlepage">
<div>
<div>
<h4 class="title"><a id="bli-logresults"></a>Logging Sampling Results</h4>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>
Due to the auditing requirement for the sampling results, the application
developers want an extremely high data durability guarantee. Therefore, they
require the synchronization policy on both the
Master and all Electable Replica nodes to
be <a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/Durability.SyncPolicy.html#SYNC" target="_top">Durability.SyncPolicy.SYNC</a>, which means that the logging data is guaranteed to
be written to stable storage before the host returns from its transaction
commit.
</p>
<p>
For an acknowledgement policy, the engineers
considered requiring all Electable nodes to
acknowledge the commit. This would provide them with the strongest possible
durability guarantee. However, they decided against this because it represents a
possible loss of write availability for the
application; if even one Electable node is
shutdown or hidden by a network outage, then the Master would not be able to
perform any write operations at all. So instead, the engineers stick with the
default acknowledgement policy, which is to require a simple majority of the
Electable nodes to acknowledge the commit.
</p>
<p>
The durability policy, then, looks like this:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting"> resultsDurability =
new Durability(Durability.SyncPolicy.SYNC,
Durability.SyncPolicy.SYNC,
Durability.ReplicaAckPolicy.SIMPLE_MAJORITY); </pre>
</div>
<div class="sect3" lang="en" xml:lang="en">
<div class="titlepage">
<div>
<div>
<h4 class="title"><a id="biolabs-monitor"></a>Monitoring the Production Stream</h4>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>
The BioLabs application is required to monitor the production stream. All such
monitoring must be of data that is no older than a defined age.
</p>
<p>
This represents a read activity that has a time concurrency policy requirement.
Therefore, whenever the application performs a write (that is, logs sampling
results), the application creates a <a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/CommitToken.html" target="_top">CommitToken</a>. Each of the nodes, then, use
this commit token to specify a <a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/rep/CommitPointConsistencyPolicy.html" target="_top">CommitPointConsistencyPolicy</a> policy when the
<a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/Environment.html#beginTransaction(com.sleepycat.je.Transaction, com.sleepycat.je.TransactionConfig)" target="_top">Environment.beginTransaction()</a> method is called. This guarantees that the
application's data monitoring activities will be performed on data that is not
out of date or stale.

<p>
In a traditional stand-alone transactional application, <span class="emphasis"><em>consistency</em></span>
means that a transaction takes the database from one consistent state to another. What
defines a consistent state is application-specific. This transition is made atomically,
that is, either all the operations that constitute the transaction are performed, or
none of them are. JE HA supports this type of transactional consistency both on the
Master, as well as on the Replicas as the replication stream is replayed. That is, in
the absence of failures, the Replicas will see exactly the same sequence of transitions,
from one consistent state to another, as the Master.
</p>
<p>
A JE HA application must additionally concern itself with the data consistency of
the Replica with respect to the Master. In a distributed system like JE HA, the
changes made at the Master are not always instantaneously available at every Replica,
although they eventually will be. For example, consider a
three node group, containing only Electable nodes, where a
change is made on the Master and the transaction is committed with a durability policy
requiring acknowledgments from a simple majority of nodes. After a successful commit of
this transaction, the changes will be available at the Master and at one other Replica,
thus satisfying the requirement for a simple majority of acknowledgments. The state of
the Master and the acknowledging Replica will be consistent with each other after the
transaction has been committed, but the transaction commit makes no guarantees about the
state of the third Replica after the commit.
</p>
<p>
In general, Replicas not directly involved in contributing to the acknowledgment of a
transaction commit will lag in the replay of the replication stream because they do not
synchronize their commits with the Master. As a consequence, their state, on an
instantaneous basis, may not be current with respect to the Master. However, in the
absence of further updates, all Replicas will eventually catch up and reflect the
instantaneous state of the Master. This means that a Replica which is not
consistent with the Master simply reflects an earlier locally consistent state at the
Master because transaction updates on the Replica are always applied, atomically and in
order. From the application's perspective, the environment on the Replica goes through
exactly the same sequence of changes to its persistent state as the Master.
</p>
<p>
A Replica may similarly lag behind the Master if it has been down for some period of
time and was unable to communicate with the Master. Such a Replica will catch up, when
it is brought back up and will eventually become consistent with the Master.
</p>
<p>
Given the distributed nature of a JE HA application, and the fact that some nodes
might lag behind the Master, the question you have to ask yourself is how long will it take for
that node to be consistent relative to the Master. More to the
point: how far behind the Master are you willing to allow the node to lag?
</p>
<p>
This should be one of your biggest concerns when it comes to
architecting a JE HA application.
</p>
<p>
You define how current the nodes in your replication group must
be by defining a <span class="emphasis"><em>consistency policy</em></span>.
You define your consistency policy using an implementation of the
<a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/ReplicaConsistencyPolicy.html" target="_top">ReplicaConsistencyPolicy</a> interface. This interface allows you
to define how current the Replica must be before a transaction
can be started on the Replica. (Remember that all read
operations are performed within a transaction.) If the Replica
is not current enough, then the start of that transaction is
delayed until that level of consistency has been reached. This
means that Replicas that are not current enough will block read
operations until they are brought up to date.
</p>
<p>
Obviously your consistency policy can have an affect on your Replica's read performance
by increasing the latency experienced by read transactions. This is because transactions
may have to wait to either begin or commit until the consistency policy can be
satisfied. If the consistency policy is so stringent that it cannot be satisfied using
the available resources, the Replica's availability for reads may deteriorate as
transactions timeout. A <a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/Durability.SyncPolicy.html#SYNC" target="_top">Durability.SyncPolicy.SYNC</a> policy on the Replica can slow
down write operations on the Replica, making it harder for the Replica to meet its
consistency guarantee. Conversely, a <a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/Durability.SyncPolicy.html#NO_SYNC" target="_top">Durability.SyncPolicy.NO_SYNC</a> policy on the
Replica makes it easy for the Replica to keep up, which means you can have a stronger
consistency guarantee.
</p>
<p>
One of three interface implementations are available for you to
use when defining your consistency policy:
</p>
<div class="itemizedlist">
<ul type="disc">
<li>
<p>
<a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/rep/NoConsistencyRequiredPolicy.html" target="_top">NoConsistencyRequiredPolicy</a>
</p>
<p>
No consistency policy is enforced. This policy allows
a transaction on a Replica to proceed regardless of the
state of the Replica relative to the Master. This
policy can also be used to access a database when the
replication node is in a DETACHED state.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
<a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/rep/TimeConsistencyPolicy.html" target="_top">TimeConsistencyPolicy</a>
</p>
<p>
Defines how far back in time the Replica is permitted
to lag the Master.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
<a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/rep/CommitPointConsistencyPolicy.html" target="_top">CommitPointConsistencyPolicy</a>
</p>
<p>
Defines consistency in terms of a specified commit
token. That is, the Replica must be at least as current
as the <a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/CommitToken.html" target="_top">CommitToken</a> provided to this class.
</p>
</li>
</ul>

<div class="sect2" lang="en" xml:lang="en">
<div class="titlepage">
<div>
<div>
<h3 class="title"><a id="setconsistencypolicy"></a>Setting Consistency Policies</h3>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>
You set a consistency policy by using
<a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/rep/ReplicationConfig.html#setConsistencyPolicy(com.sleepycat.je.ReplicaConsistencyPolicy)" target="_top">ReplicationConfig.setConsistencyPolicy()</a>.
For example:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting"> EnvironmentConfig envConfig = new EnvironmentConfig();
envConfig.setAllowCreate(true);
envConfig.setTransactional(true);
// Require no synchronization for transactional commit on the
// Master, but full synchronization on the Replicas. Also,
// wait for acknowledgements from a simple majority of Replicas.
Durability durability =
new Durability(Durability.SyncPolicy.NO_SYNC,
Durability.SyncPolicy.SYNC,
Durability.ReplicaAckPolicy.SIMPLE_MAJORITY);
envConfig.setDurability(durability);
// Identify the node
ReplicationConfig repConfig =
new ReplicationConfig("PlanetaryRepGroup",
"Jupiter",
"jupiter.example.com:5002");
// Use the node at mercury.example.com:5001 as a helper to find the rest
// of the group.
repConfig.setHelperHosts("mercury.example.com:5001");
<strong class="userinput"><code>// Turn off consistency policies. Transactions can occur
// regardless of how consistent the Replica is relative
// to the Master.
NoConsistencyRequiredPolicy ncrp =
new NoConsistencyRequiredPolicy();
repConfig.setConsistencyPolicy(ncrp);</code></strong>
ReplicatedEnvironment repEnv =
new ReplicatedEnvironment(home, repConfig, envConfig); </pre>
<p>
Note that the consistency policy is set on a node-by-node
basis. There is no requirement that you set the same policy for
every node in your replication group.
</p>
<p>
You can also set consistency policies on a
transaction-by-transaction basis when you begin the
transaction:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting"> // Turn off consistency policies. The transactions can
// be performed regardless of how consistent the Replica is
// relative to the Master.
NoConsistencyRequiredPolicy ncrp =
new NoConsistencyRequiredPolicy();
TransactionConfig tc = new TransactionConfig();
tc.setConsistencyPolicy(ncrp);
// env is a ReplicatedEnvironment handle
env.beginTransaction(null, tc); </pre>
</div>
<div class="sect2" lang="en" xml:lang="en">
<div class="titlepage">
<div>
<div>
<h3 class="title"><a id="timeconsistency"></a>Time Consistency Policies</h3>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>
A time consistency policy is a time-oriented policy that
defines how far back in time the Replica is permitted to
lag the Master. It does so by comparing the time
associated with the latest transaction committed on the
Master with the current time. If the Replica lags by an
amount greater than the permissible lag, it will hold back
the start of the transaction until the Replica has replayed
enough of the replication stream to narrow the lag to
within the permissible lag.
</p>
<p>
Use of a time based consistency policy requires that nodes
in a replication group have their clocks reasonably
synchronized. This can be easily achieved using a daemon
like <a class="ulink" href="http://www.ntp.org/" target="_top">NTPD</a>.
</p>
<p>
You implement a time-based consistency policy by using the
<a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/rep/TimeConsistencyPolicy.html" target="_top">TimeConsistencyPolicy</a> class. To instantiate this class,
you provide it with the following:
</p>
<div class="itemizedlist">
<ul type="disc">
<li>
<p>
A number representing the permissible lag.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
A <a class="ulink" href="http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5/docs/api/java/util/concurrent/TimeUnit.html" target="_top">TimeUnit</a> constant indicating the units of time
that the permissible lag represents.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
A number representing the timeout period during
which a transaction will wait for the Replica to
catch up so that the consistency policy can be met.
If the transaction waits more than the timeout
period, a <a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/rep/ReplicaConsistencyException.html" target="_top">ReplicaConsistencyException</a> is thrown.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
A <a class="ulink" href="http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5/docs/api/java/util/concurrent/TimeUnit.html" target="_top">TimeUnit</a> constant indicating the units of time
in use for the timeout value.
</p>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<p>
For example:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting"> EnvironmentConfig envConfig = new EnvironmentConfig();
envConfig.setAllowCreate(true);
envConfig.setTransactional(true);
// Require no synchronization for transactional commit on the
// Master, but full synchronization on the Replicas. Also,
// wait for acknowledgements from a simple majority of Replicas.
Durability durability =
new Durability(Durability.SyncPolicy.NO_SYNC,
Durability.SyncPolicy.SYNC,
Durability.ReplicaAckPolicy.SIMPLE_MAJORITY);
envConfig.setDurability(durability);
// Identify the node
ReplicationConfig repConfig =
new ReplicationConfig("PlanetaryRepGroup",
"Jupiter",
"jupiter.example.com:5002");
// Use the node at mercury.example.com:5001 as a helper to find the rest
// of the group.
repConfig.setHelperHosts("mercury.example.com:5001");
<strong class="userinput"><code>// Set consistency policy for replica.
TimeConsistencyPolicy consistencyPolicy = new TimeConsistencyPolicy
(1, TimeUnit.SECONDS, /* 1 sec of lag */
10, TimeUnit.SECONDS /* Wait up to 10 sec */);
repConfig.setConsistencyPolicy(consistencyPolicy);</code></strong>
ReplicatedEnvironment repEnv =
new ReplicatedEnvironment(home, repConfig, envConfig); </pre>
</div>
<div class="sect2" lang="en" xml:lang="en">
<div class="titlepage">
<div>
<div>
<h3 class="title"><a id="commitpointconsistency"></a>Commit Point Consistency Policies</h3>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>
A commit point consistency policy defines consistency in
terms of the commit of a specific transaction. This policy
can be used to ensure that a Replica is at least current
enough to have the changes made by a specific transaction.
Because transactions are applied serially, by ensuring a
Replica has a specific commit applied to it, you know that
all transaction commits occurring prior to the specified
transaction have also been applied to the Replica.
</p>
<p>
As is the case with a time consistency policy, if the
Replica is not current enough relative to the Master, all
attempts to begin a transaction will be delayed until the
Replica has caught up. If the Replica does not catch up
within a specified timeout period, the transaction will
throw a <a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/rep/ReplicaConsistencyException.html" target="_top">ReplicaConsistencyException</a>.
</p>
<p>
In order to specify a commit point consistency policy, you
must provide a <a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/CommitToken.html" target="_top">CommitToken</a> that is used to identify the
transaction that the Replica must have in order to be
current enough. Because the commit point that you care
about will change from transaction to transaction, you do
not specify commit point consistency policies on an
environment-wide basis. Instead, you specify them when you
begin a transaction.
</p>
<p>
For example, suppose the application is a web application
where a replicated group is implemented within a load
balanced web server group. Each request to the web server
consists of an update operation followed by read operations
(say from the same client), The read operations naturally
expect to see the data from the updates executed by the
same request. However, the read operations might have been
routed to a node that did not execute the update.
</p>
<p>
In such a case, the update request would generate a
<a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/CommitToken.html" target="_top">CommitToken</a>, which would be resubmitted by the browser,
along with subsequent read requests. The read request could
be directed at any one of the available web servers by a
load balancer. The node which executes the read request
would create a <a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/rep/CommitPointConsistencyPolicy.html" target="_top">CommitPointConsistencyPolicy</a> with that
<a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/CommitToken.html" target="_top">CommitToken</a> and use it at transaction begin. If the
environment at the web server was already current enough,
it could immediately execute the transaction
and satisfy the request. If not, the "transaction begin"
would stall until the Replica replay had caught up and the
change was available at that web server.
</p>
<p>
You obtain a commit token using the
<a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/Transaction.html#getCommitToken()" target="_top">Transaction.getCommitToken()</a> method. Use this method after
you have successfully committed the transaction that you
want to base a <a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/rep/CommitPointConsistencyPolicy.html" target="_top">CommitPointConsistencyPolicy</a> upon.
</p>
<p>
For example:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">Database myDatabase = null;
Environment myEnv = null;
CommitToken ct = null;
try {
...
// Environment and database setup removed for brevity
...
Transaction txn = myEnv.beginTransaction(null, null);
try {
myDatabase.put(txn, key, data);
txn.commit();
ct = txn.getCommitToken();
if (ct != null) {
// Do something with the commit token to
// forward it to the Replica where you
// want to use it.
}
} catch (Exception e) {
if (txn != null) {
txn.abort();
txn = null;
}
}
} catch (DatabaseException de) {
// Exception handling goes here
} </pre>
<p>
To create your commit point token consistency policy, transfer the
commit token to the Replica performing a read using whatever
mechanism that makes sense for your HA application, and then create
the policy for that specific transaction handle:
Note that <a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/CommitToken.html" target="_top">CommitToken</a> implements <a class="ulink" href="http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/io/Serializable.html" target="_top">Serializable</a>, so you can
use the standard Java serialization mechanisms when passing the
commit token between processes.
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">Database myDatabase = null;
Environment myEnv = null;
CommitToken ct = null;
try {
...
// Environment and database setup removed for brevity
...
CommitPointConsistencyPolicy cpcp =
new CommitPointConsistencyPolicy(ct, // The commit token
10, TimeUnit.SECONDS); // Timeout value
TransactionConfig txnConfig = new TransactionConfig();
txnConfig.setConsistencyPolicy(cpcp);
Transaction txn = myEnv.beginTransaction(null, txnConfig);
try {
// Perform your database read here using the transaction
// handle, txn.
txn.commit();
} catch (Exception e) {
// There are quite a lot of different exceptions that can be
// seen at this level, including the LockConflictException.
// We just catch Exception for this example for simplicity's
// sake.
if (txn != null) {
txn.abort();
txn = null;
}
}
} catch (ReplicaConsistencyException rce) {
// Deal with this timeout error here. It is thrown by the
// beginTransaction operation if the consistency policy
// cannot be met within the timeout time.
} catch (DatabaseException de) {
// Database exception handling goes here.
} catch (Exception ee) {
// General exception handling goes here.
}</pre>

<p>
All replicated applications are first transactional
applications. This means that you have the standard data
guarantee issues to consider, all of which have to do with
how durable and consistent you want your data to be. Of
course, considerations of this nature also play a role in
your application's performance. These issues are even more
important for replicated applications because replication
adds additional dimensions to them.
</p>
<p>
Notably, in a replicated application you must decide how
durable your data is, by deciding how careful the Master will
be to make sure a data write has been written to disk on its
various Replica nodes before completing the transaction.
</p>
<p>
Consistency also adds an additional dimension in a replicated
application, because now you must decide how consistent the
various nodes in the replication group will be relative to
the Master at any given time. If no writes are being
performed on the Master, all Replicas will eventually catch
up to the Master and so be completely consistent with it.
But for most HA applications, writes are occurring on the
Master, and so it is possible for some number of your
Replicas to lag behind the Master. What you have to decide,
then, is how sensitive your application is to this kind of
temporary inconsistency.
</p>
<p>
Note that your consistency requirements can be gated by your
durability requirements. Durability, in turn, can be gated by
any concerns you might have on write throughput. At the same
time, your consistency requirement can have an affect on the
read performance of your Replicas. It is
therefore a mistake to think about any one of these

</div>
<p>
One of the reasons you might be writing a replicated
application is to achieve a higher durability guarantee
than you can get with a traditional transactional
application. In a traditional application, your data's
durability is a function of how you perform your
transactional commits, and how frequently you perform
your backups. For this class of application, the
strongest durability guarantee you can have is to use
synchronous commits (the commit does not
complete until the data is written to disk), coupled with
very frequent backups of your environment.
</p>
<p>
The problem with a stand-alone application in which you
are seeking a very high durability guarantee is that your
write throughput will suffer. Synchronous commits
require disk writes, and disk I/O is one of the most
expensive operations you can ask a database to perform.
</p>
<p>
In order to increase write throughput in your
transactional application, you may decide to use
asynchronous commits that do not require the disk I/O to
complete before the transaction commit completes.
The problem with this is that your application can
potentially crash before a transaction has been
completely written to disk. This represents a loss of
data, which is to say the data is not durable.
</p>
<p>
Replication can help with your data durability in a
couple of ways. Most importantly, replication allows you to
<span class="emphasis"><em>commit to the network</em></span>. This means
that when your Master commits a transaction, the results
of that commit are sent to one or more nodes available
over the network. Consequently, multiple disks, disk
controllers, power supplies, and CPUs are used to ensure
the data modification makes it to stable storage.
</p>
<p>
Usually JE makes the commit operation on the Master
wait until it receives acknowledgements from some number
of electable nodes before returning from the
operation. However, if you want to increase write
throughput, you can configure your Master to proceed
without acknowledgements, and so return immediately from
the commit operation (once the commit operation has met
the local durability requirement). The price that you pay
for this is a reduced durability guarantee. How reduced
the guarantee is, is a function of the number of electable
nodes in your replication group (the more you have, the
higher your durability guarantee is) and the quality and
stability of your network.
</p>
<p>
Alternatively, you can obtain an
extremely high durability guarantee by configuring the Master
to wait for all electable nodes to acknowledge a commit
operation before returning from the operation. The price
you pay for this very high guarantee is greatly reduced
write throughput.
</p>

guarantees for your replicated application, see

<h3 class="title"><a id="consistency-intro"></a>Managing Data Consistency</h3>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>
Data consistency means that the data you thought you
wrote to your environment is in fact written to your
environment. It also means that you will never find
partial records written to your environment.
</p>
<p>
In a replicated application, consistency also means that
data which is available on the Master is also available
on the Replicas.
</p>
<p>
A simple transactional application offers consistency
guarantees that are enforced when you commit a
transaction. Your replicated application also offers this
consistency guarantee (because it is also a transactional
application). For this reason, the environment on the
Master is always absolutely consistent. But beyond that, you need to manage
consistency for data across all the nodes in your
replication group.
</p>
<p>
When you commit a transaction on the Master, your
Replica nodes may or may not have the data changes
performed by that transaction at the end of the commit.
Whether they do depends on how high a durability
guarantee you implemented for your Master (see the
previous section). If, for example, you configured your
Master to require acknowledgements from all electable
nodes before returning from the commit, then the data
will be consistently available across all of those nodes
in the replication group, although not necessarily by
secondary nodes. However, if you configured the Master
such that no acknowledgements are necessary, then your
data is probably not consistent across the replication
group.
</p>
<p>
To ensure that read transactions on the Replicas see a
sufficiently consistent view of the environment, you can
set a consistency policy for each transaction. This
policy describes how current the Replica must be before a
transaction can be initiated on it. If the Replica is not
current enough, the start of the transaction is delayed
until the Replica has caught up.
</p>
<p>
There are two possible consistency policies. First, there
is a time-based policy that describes how far back in
time the Replica is allowed to lag behind the Master.
Secondly, you can use a commit-based consistency
policy that is based on the commit of a specified
transaction. This policy is used to ensure the Replica is
at least current enough to have the changes made by a
specific transaction, and by all transactions committed
prior to the specified transaction. The start of a
transaction on a Replica can be delayed until the Replica
can meet the consistency policy defined for that transaction.
</p>
<p>
This means that a stringent consistency policy can affect
your Replica's read throughput. Transactions, even
read-only transactions, cannot begin until the Replica is
consistent <span class="emphasis"><em>enough</em></span>. So if you have a
Replica that has lagged far behind the Master, and which
is having trouble catching up due to network latency or
other issues, then read requests may stall, and perhaps
even time out, which will affect the latency of your
Replica's read requests, and perhaps even its
overall availability for read requests. For this reason,
give careful consideration to how well you want your
Replica to perform on reads, versus how consistent you
want the Replica to be with other nodes in the
replication group.
</p>
<p>

replicated application, see

<p>
In a stand-alone, non-replicated JE application, the log is
strictly append only. You use the <a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/util/DbBackup.html" target="_top">DbBackup</a> class to help
applications coordinate while database operations are
continuing to add to the log. This helper class does this by
defining the log files needed for a consistent backup, and then freezes
all changes to those files, including any changes that might be
made by JE background operations. The application can copy
that defined set of files and finish operation without checking
for the ongoing creation of new files. Also, there will be no
need to check for a newer version of the last file on the next
backup.
</p>
<p>
When you are using JE HA, however, log files other than the
last log file might be modified as part of the HA sync-up
operation. Though a rare occurrence, such
modifications would invalidate the backup because there is the
chance that files are modified after being copied.
</p>
<p>
If this happens, <a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/util/DbBackup.html#endBackup()" target="_top">DbBackup.endBackup()</a> throws a
<a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/rep/LogOverwriteException.html" target="_top">LogOverwriteException</a>. Upon encountering this exception, the
backup files should be discarded and a new set of backup files
created.
</p>
<p>
For example:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting"> for (int i=0; i &lt; BACKUP_RETRIES; i++) {
final ReplicatedEnvironment repEnv = ...;
final DbBackup backupHelper = new DbBackup(repEnv);
backupHelper.startBackup();
String[] filesForBackup =
backupHelper.getLogFilesInBackupSet();
/* Copy the files to archival storage. */
myApplicationCopyMethod(filesForBackup);
try {
backupHelper.endBackup();
break;
} catch (LogOverwriteException e) {
/* Remove backed up files. */
myApplicationCleanupMethod();
continue;
} finally {
repEnv.close();

<h2 class="title"><a id="election-override"></a>Appendix A. Managing a Failure of the Majority</h2>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>
Normal operation of JE HA requires that at least a simple majority
of electable nodes be available to form a quorum for election of a
new Master, or when committing a transaction with default
durability requirements. The number of electable nodes (the
Electable Group Size) is obtained from persistent internal metadata
that is stored in the environment and replicated across all
members. See <a class="xref" href="lifecycle.html" title="Replication Group Life Cycle">Replication Group Life Cycle</a> for details.
</p>
<p>
Under exceptional circumstances, a simple majority of electable nodes may
become unavailable for some period of time. With only a minority
of electable nodes available, the overall availability of the group can be
adversely affected. For example, the group may be unavailable for
writes because a master cannot be elected. Also, the Master may be
unable to satisfy the durability requirements for a transaction
commit. The group may also be unavailable for reads, because the
absence of a Master might cause a Replica to be unable to meet
consistency requirements.
</p>
<p>
To deal with this exceptional circumstance
— especially if the situation is likely to persist for an
unacceptably long period of time — JE HA provides a
mechanism by which you can modify the way in which the number of
electable nodes, and consequently the quorum requirements for
elections and commit acknowledgments, is calculated. The escape
mechanism provides a way to override the normal computation of the
Electable Group Size. The override is accomplished by specifying
the size using the mutable replication configuration parameter
<a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/rep/ReplicationMutableConfig.html#ELECTABLE_GROUP_SIZE_OVERRIDE" target="_top">ELECTABLE_GROUP_SIZE_OVERRIDE</a>.
</p>
<div class="note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;">
<h3 class="title">Note</h3>
<p>
You should use this parameter sparingly, if at all. Overriding
your Electable Group Size can have the consequence of allowing
your replication group's election participants to elect two Masters
simultaneously. This is especially likely to occur if a
majority of the nodes are unavailable due to a network
partition event, and so all nodes are running but are simply
not communicating with one another.

When you set <a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/rep/ReplicationMutableConfig.html#ELECTABLE_GROUP_SIZE_OVERRIDE" target="_top">ELECTABLE_GROUP_SIZE_OVERRIDE</a> to a non-zero value, the
number that you provide identifies the number of electable nodes that
are required to meet quorum requirements. This means that the
internally stored Electable Group Size value is ignored (but
not changed) when this option is non-zero. By setting
<a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/rep/ReplicationMutableConfig.html#ELECTABLE_GROUP_SIZE_OVERRIDE" target="_top">ELECTABLE_GROUP_SIZE_OVERRIDE</a> to the number of electable nodes known to be
available, the remaining replication group participants can
make forward progress, both in terms of electing a new
Master (if this is required) and in terms of meeting durability
and consistency requirements.
</p>
<p>
When this option is zero (0), then the node will behave
normally, and the internal Electable Group Size is honored by
the node. This is the default value and behavior.

<h3 class="title"><a id="set-gsize-override"></a>Setting the Override</h3>

<p>
To override the internal Electable Group Size value:
</p>
<div class="orderedlist">
<ol type="1">
<li>
<p>
Verify that the simple majority of electable nodes are in fact
down and cannot elect their own independent Master.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Set <a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/rep/ReplicationMutableConfig.html#ELECTABLE_GROUP_SIZE_OVERRIDE" target="_top">ELECTABLE_GROUP_SIZE_OVERRIDE</a> to the number of
electable nodes known to be available. For best
results, set this override on all available
electable nodes.
</p>
<p>
It might be sufficient to set <a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/rep/ReplicationMutableConfig.html#ELECTABLE_GROUP_SIZE_OVERRIDE" target="_top">ELECTABLE_GROUP_SIZE_OVERRIDE</a>
on just one electable node in order to hold an election, because
the proposer at that one node can conclude the
election. However, if the election results in
Master that is not configured with this override, it
might result in <a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/rep/InsufficientAcksException.html" target="_top">InsufficientAcksException</a>s at the Master.
So, again, set the override on all available
electable nodes.
</p>
</li>
</ol>
</div>
<p>
Having set the override, the available electable members of the
replication group can now meet quorum requirements.

<p>
Having restored the group to a functioning state by use of
the <a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/rep/ReplicationMutableConfig.html#ELECTABLE_GROUP_SIZE_OVERRIDE" target="_top">ELECTABLE_GROUP_SIZE_OVERRIDE</a> override, it is desirable
to return the group to its normal state as soon as possible. The
normal operating state is one where the Electable Group
Size is maintained by JE HA, and the override is no longer
used.
</p>
<p>
To restore the group to its normal operational state, do
one of the following:
</p>
<div class="itemizedlist">
<ul type="disc">
<li>
<p>
Remove from the group any electable nodes that you
know will be down for an extended period of time.
Remove the nodes using the
<a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/rep/util/ReplicationGroupAdmin.html#removeMember(java.lang.String)" target="_top">ReplicationGroupAdmin.removeMember()</a> API.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Bring up electable nodes as they once again come on
line, so that they can join the functioning group.
This must be done carefully one node at a time in
order to avoid the small possibility that a majority of the
downed nodes hold an election amongst themselves
and elect a second Master.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Perform some combination of node removal and
bringing up nodes which were previously down.
</p>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<p>
As soon as there is a sufficient number of electable nodes
up and running that election quorum requirements can be met in the
absence of the override, the override can be removed, and
normal HA operations resumed.
</p>
</div>
<div class="sect2" lang="en" xml:lang="en">

<p>
Consider a group consisting of 5 electable nodes:
<code class="literal">n1</code>-<code class="literal">n5</code>. Suppose a
simple majority of the nodes
(<code class="literal">n3</code>-<code class="literal">n5</code>) have become
unavailable.
</p>
<p>
If one of the nodes in
<code class="literal">n3</code>-<code class="literal">n5</code> was the
Master, then nodes <code class="literal">n1</code> and
<code class="literal">n2</code> will try to hold an election, and
fail due to the lack of a quorum. We now carry out the steps described, above:
</p>
<div class="orderedlist">
<ol type="1">
<li>
<p>
Verify that <code class="literal">n3</code>-<code class="literal">n5</code> are down.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Set <a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/rep/ReplicationMutableConfig.html#ELECTABLE_GROUP_SIZE_OVERRIDE" target="_top">ELECTABLE_GROUP_SIZE_OVERRIDE</a> to 2. Do this
at both <code class="literal">n1</code> and <code class="literal">n2</code>.
You can do this dynamically using JConsole, or by
setting the property in the <code class="filename">je.properties</code> file and
restarting the node.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
<code class="literal">n1</code> and <code class="literal">n2</code>
will choose a new Master, say, <code class="literal">n1</code>.
<code class="literal">n1</code> can now process write
operations, and <code class="literal">n2</code> can
acknowledge transaction commits.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Suppose that <code class="literal">n3</code> is now repaired.
You can bring it back online and it will
automatically locate the new Master and join the
group. As is normal, it will catch up to
<code class="literal">n1</code> and <code class="literal">n2</code> in
the replication stream, and then begin
acknowledging commits as requested by
<code class="literal">n1</code>.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
We now have three electable nodes that are operational. Because
we have a true simple majority of electable nodes available, we
can now reset <a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/rep/ReplicationMutableConfig.html#ELECTABLE_GROUP_SIZE_OVERRIDE" target="_top">ELECTABLE_GROUP_SIZE_OVERRIDE</a> to 0
(do this on <code class="literal">n1</code> and <code class="literal">n2</code>),
which causes the replication group to resume normal
operations. Note that <code class="literal">n1</code> remains
the Master.
</p>
</li>
</ol>
</div>
<p>
If <code class="literal">n2</code> was the Master at the time of the
failure, then the situation is similar, except that an
election is not held. In this case, <code class="literal">n2</code> will continue to
remain the Master throughout the entire process described
above. However, <code class="literal">n2</code> might not be able to meet quorum
requirements for transaction commits until step 2 (above) is
performed.

JE HA environments log files contain information and data
used only by replication. Non-replicated environments are
lacking this information, so in order to use a
previously-existing non-replicated environment in an HA
application, it must undergo a one time conversion.
</p>
<div class="note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;">
<h3 class="title">Note</h3>
<p>
If you try to open a non-replicated environment as a
replicated environment, the operation will throw an
<a class="ulink" href="http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/lang/UnsupportedOperationException.html" target="_top">UnsupportedOperationException</a>. This is the only way your
code can tell if an environment needs to be converted.
</p>
</div>
<p>
You use the <a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/rep/util/DbEnableReplication.html" target="_top">DbEnableReplication</a> class to perform this
one-time conversion. This class is particularly useful if you
want to prototype a standalone transactional application, and
then add in replication after the transactional application is
working as desired.
</p>
<p>
The conversion process is one-way; once an environment
directory is converted, the rules that govern
<a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/rep/ReplicatedEnvironment.html" target="_top">ReplicatedEnvironment</a> apply. This means the environment can
no longer be opened for writes by a standalone <a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/Environment.html" target="_top">Environment</a> handle
(however, it still can be opened by a standalone
<a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/Environment.html" target="_top">Environment</a> handle in read-only mode).
</p>
<p>
Note that <a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/rep/util/DbEnableReplication.html" target="_top">DbEnableReplication</a> only adds a minimum amount of
replication metadata. The conversion process is not in any way
dependent on the size of the environment you are converting.
</p>
<p>
The converted environment can be used to start a new
replication group. After conversion, the environment can be
opened as a <a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/rep/ReplicatedEnvironment.html" target="_top">ReplicatedEnvironment</a>. Additional nodes that join
the group are then populated with data from the converted
environment.
</p>
<p>
For example:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">// Create the first node using an existing environment
DbEnableReplication converter =
new DbEnableReplication(envDirMars, // env home dir
"UniversalRepGroup", // group name
"nodeMars", // node name
"mars:5001"); // node host,port
converter.convert();
ReplicatedEnvironment nodeMars =
new ReplicatedEnvironment(envDirMars, ...);
// Bring up additional nodes, which will be initialized from
// nodeMars.
ReplicationConfig repConfig = new ReplicationConfig();
try {
repConfig.setGroupName("UniversalRepGroup");
repConfig.setNodeName("nodeVenus");
repConfig.setNodeHostPort("venus:5008");
repConfig.setHelperHosts("mars:5001");
nodeVenus = new ReplicatedEnvironment(envDirVenus,
repConfig,
envConfig);
} catch (InsufficientLogException insufficientLogEx) {
// log files will be copied from another node in the group
NetworkRestore restore = new NetworkRestore();
restore.execute(insufficientLogEx, new NetworkRestoreConfig());
// try opening the node now
nodeVenus = new ReplicatedEnvironment(envDirVenus,
repConfig,
envConfig);
} </pre>

<h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a id="events"></a>Listening for Events</h2>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>
One of the things the <a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/rep/monitor/Monitor.html" target="_top">Monitor</a> class allows you to do is to
listen for certain events that occur in the composition of the
replication group. Your Monitor can be notified of these events
by running an event listener using <a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/rep/monitor/Monitor.html#startListener(com.sleepycat.je.rep.monitor.MonitorChangeListener)" target="_top">Monitor.startListener()</a>.
For example:
</p>
<p>
<code class="methodname">Monitor.startListener()</code> takes a single
argument, and that is an instance of <a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/rep/monitor/MonitorChangeListener.html" target="_top">MonitorChangeListener</a>.
<code class="classname">MonitorChangeListener</code> is an interface
that you implement for the purpose of handling replication
group events.
</p>
<p>
There are four events that the change listener can be notified
of. Each of these are represented by a unique class:
</p>
<div class="orderedlist">
<ol type="1">
<li>
<p>
<a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/rep/monitor/GroupChangeEvent.html" target="_top">GroupChangeEvent</a>
</p>
<p>
A new instance of this event is generated each time
an electable or monitor node, but not a secondary
node, is added or removed from the replication group.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
<a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/rep/monitor/NewMasterEvent.html" target="_top">NewMasterEvent</a>
</p>
<p>
A new instance of this event is generated each time a
new Master is elected.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
<a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/rep/monitor/JoinGroupEvent.html" target="_top">JoinGroupEvent</a>
</p>
<p>
A new instance of this event is generated each time an
electable or secondary node, but not a monitor node,
joins a group. The event is generated on a "best
effort" basis. It may not be generated, for example,
if the joining node was unable to communicate with the
monitor due to a network problem. The application must
be resilient in the face of such missing events.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
<a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/rep/monitor/LeaveGroupEvent.html" target="_top">LeaveGroupEvent</a>
</p>
<p>
A new instance of this event is generated each time an
electable or secondary node, but not a monitor node,
node leaves the group. The event is generated on a
"best effort" basis. It may not be generated if the
node leaving the group dies (for example, it was
killed) before it has a chance to generate the event,
or if the node was unable to communicate with the
monitor due to a network problem. The application must
be resilient in the face of such missing events.
</p>
</li>
</ol>
</div>
<p>
For example, an implementation of the <a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/rep/monitor/MonitorChangeListener.html" target="_top">MonitorChangeListener</a>
interface might be:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">class MyChangeListener implements MonitorChangeListener {
public void notify(NewMasterEvent newMasterEvent) {
String newNodeName = newMasterEvent.getNodeName();
InetSocketAddress newMasterAddr =
newMasterEvent.getSocketAddress();
String newMasterHostName = newMasterAddr.getHostName();
int newMasterPort = newMasterAddr.getPort();
// Do something with this information here.
}
public void notify(GroupChangeEvent groupChangeEvent) {
ReplicationGroup repGroup = groupChangeEvent.getRepGroup();
// Do something with the new ReplicationGroup composition here.
}
...
} </pre>
<p>
You can then start the Monitor listener as follows:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting"> // Initialize the monitor node config
ReplicationConfig config =
new ReplicationConfig("MyRepGroupName",
"mon1",
"monhost1.acme.com:7000");
config.setNodeType(NodeType.MONITOR);
config.setHelperHosts("node1.acme.com:5000,node2.acme.com:5000");
Monitor monitor = new Monitor(config);
// If the monitor has not been registered as a member of the
// group, register it now. register() returns the current node
// that is the master.
ReplicationNode currentMaster = monitor.register();
<strong class="userinput"><code>// Start up the listener, so that it can be used to track changes
// in the master node, or group composition.
monitor.startListener(new MyChangeListener());</code></strong> </pre>

<p>
JE HA requires you to manage more error situations that you
would have to if you were writing a non-replicated application.
These error situations translate to additional exceptions that
you must contend with in your code. Before continuing with our
description of how to write a replicated application, it is
useful to review the HA-specific exceptions that your
application must manage.
</p>
<div class="sect2" lang="en" xml:lang="en">
<div class="titlepage">
<div>
<div>
<h3 class="title"><a id="master-exceptions"></a>Master-Specific HA Exceptions</h3>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>
There are two exceptions that you can see on a Master node,
and which you will not see anywhere else. They are:
</p>
<div class="itemizedlist">
<ul type="disc">
<li>
<p>
<a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/rep/InsufficientReplicasException.html" target="_top">InsufficientReplicasException</a>
</p>
<p>
This exception can be raised on a transaction begin or commit. It means that the
Master cannot successfully commit a transaction, or begin one, because it is not in contact
with enough Electable Replicas. The number of Electable Replicas required to successfully commit
the transaction is a function of the durability policy that
you have set for the transaction. See
<a class="xref" href="txn-management.html#durability" title="Managing Durability">Managing Durability</a>
for more information.
</p>
<p>
If raised on a transaction commit operation, this
exception means that the transaction has not been
committed. Instead, it has been marked as invalid.
In response to this exception, your application
must at a minimum abort the transaction. It is up
to you whether you want to retry the transaction at
some later time when more Replicas are in contact
with the Master.
</p>
<p>
If raised on a transaction begin operation, this
exception means that the transaction has not begun.
If the application intended to initiate a read-only
transaction on a Master, it can avoid this
exception by ensuring that the transaction is
configured to not require any acknowledgments. For
information on configuring acknowledgments, see
<a class="xref" href="txn-management.html#managingacks" title="Managing Acknowledgements">Managing Acknowledgements</a>.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
<a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/rep/InsufficientAcksException.html" target="_top">InsufficientAcksException</a>
</p>
<p>
This exception can be raised on a transaction commit. It means that the
Master has successfully committed the transaction locally, but it has not
received enough acknowledgements from its Electable Replicas in the timeframe
allocated for acknowledgements to be received.
</p>
<p>
The application should respond to this exception in such a way as to alert
the administrator that there might be a problem with the health of the
network or the nodes participating in the replication group.
</p>
<p>
For information on how to manage acknowledgement policies, see
<a class="xref" href="txn-management.html#managingacks" title="Managing Acknowledgements">Managing Acknowledgements</a>.
</p>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
<div class="sect2" lang="en" xml:lang="en">
<div class="titlepage">
<div>
<div>
<h3 class="title"><a id="replica-exceptions"></a>Replica-Specific HA Exceptions</h3>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>
The exceptions that you can see on a Replica, and nowhere else, are:
</p>
<div class="itemizedlist">
<ul type="disc">
<li>
<p>
<a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/rep/ReplicaConsistencyException.html" target="_top">ReplicaConsistencyException</a>
</p>
<p>
Indicates that the Replica was unable to meet the defined consistency
requirements in the allocated period of time.
</p>
<p>
If this exception is encountered frequently, it indicates that the
consistency policy requirements are too strict and cannot be met routinely
given the load being placed on the system and the hardware resources that
are available to service the load. The exception may also indicate that
there is a network related issue that is preventing the Replica from
communicating with the Master and keeping up with the replication stream.
</p>
<p>
In response to this exception, your application can either attempt to retry
the transaction, or you can relax your application's consistency
requirements until the transaction can successfully complete.
</p>
<p>
For information on managing consistency policies, see
<a class="xref" href="consistency.html" title="Managing Consistency">Managing Consistency</a>.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
<a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/rep/ReplicaWriteException.html" target="_top">ReplicaWriteException</a>
</p>
<p>
An attempt was made to perform a write operation on a Replica. The exception
typically indicates an error in the application logic. In some extremely
rare cases it could be the result of a transition of the node from Master to
Replica, while a transaction was in progress.
</p>
<p>
The application must abort the current transaction and redirect all
subsequent update operations to the Master. For
example code that performs this action, see
<a class="xref" href="runtransaction.html" title="Example Run Transaction Class">Example Run Transaction Class</a>.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
<a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/rep/LockPreemptedException.html" target="_top">LockPreemptedException</a>
</p>
<p>
A read lock currently held by a Replica has been preempted by an HA write
operation. The Replica should abort and retry the read operation in response
to this exception.
</p>
<p>
Note that your application should attempt to catch the
<a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/LockConflictException.html" target="_top">LockConflictException</a> base class rather than this class because all of the
locking exceptions are managed in the same way (abort and retry the
transaction).
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
<a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/rep/DatabasePreemptedException.html" target="_top">DatabasePreemptedException</a>
</p>
<p>
The database handle on a Replica was forcibly closed due to the replay of an
<a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/Environment.html#truncateDatabase(com.sleepycate.je.Transaction,java.lang.String,boolean)" target="_top">Environment.truncateDatabase()</a>, <a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/Environment.html#removeDatabase(com.sleepycate.je.Transaction,java.lang.String)" target="_top">Environment.removeDatabase()</a> or
<a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/Environment.html#renameDatabase(com.sleepycate.je.Transaction,java.lang.String,java.lang.String)" target="_top">Environment.renameDatabase()</a> operation in the
replication stream.
</p>
<p>
When this exception occurs, the application must close any open Cursors and
abort any open Transactions that are using the database, and then close the
Database handle. If the application wishes, it may reopen the database if it
still exists.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
<a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/rep/RollbackException.html" target="_top">RollbackException</a>
</p>
<p>
A new master has been selected, this Replica's log is ahead of the current
Master, but the Replica was unable to rollback without a
recovery. As a consequence, one or more of the most recently committed
transactions may need to be rolled back, before the Replica can synchronize
its state with that of the current Master. This
exception can happen if the electable Replica with the most
recent log files was unable to participate in the
election of the Master, perhaps because the node
had been shut down.
</p>
<p>
For details on how to handle this exception, see
<a class="xref" href="txnrollback.html" title="Managing Transaction Rollbacks">Managing Transaction Rollbacks</a>.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
<a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/rep/InsufficientLogException.html" target="_top">InsufficientLogException</a>
</p>
<p>
Indicates that the log files constituting the Environment are insufficient
and cannot be used as the basis for continuing with the replication stream
provided by the current master.
</p>
<p>
This exception generally means that the node has been down for a long enough
time that it can not be brought up-to-date by the Master. For information on
how to respond to this condition, see
<a class="xref" href="logfile-restore.html" title="Restoring Log Files">Restoring Log Files</a>.

<h3 class="title"><a id="handleexception"></a>Replicated Environment Handle-Specific Exceptions</h3>

</div>
<p>
In addition to Master- and Replica-specific exceptions, it is possible for a
<a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/rep/ReplicatedEnvironment.html" target="_top">ReplicatedEnvironment</a> handle to throw an <a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/rep/UnknownMasterException.html" target="_top">UnknownMasterException</a>. This exception
indicates that the operation being tried requires communication with a Master, but
the Master is not available.
</p>
<p>
This exception typically indicates that there is a problem with your physical
infrastructure. It might mean that an insufficient number of electable nodes are available to
elect a Master, or that the current node is unable to communicate with other nodes
due to, for example, network problems.
</p>
<p>
In response to this exception, your application can try any number of corrective
actions, from immediately retrying the operation, to logging the problem and then
abandoning the operation, to waiting some predetermined period of time before
attempting the operation again. Your application can also
use the <a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/rep/monitor/Monitor.html" target="_top">Monitor</a> or the <a class="ulink" href="../java/com/sleepycat/je/rep/StateChangeListener.html" target="_top">StateChangeListener</a> to be
notified when a Master becomes available. For more
information see <a class="xref" href="monitors.html" title="Chapter 5. Writing Monitor Nodes">Writing Monitor Nodes</a>
