public abstract class AbstractRecord extends StateManager
Abstract Record Class This class provides an abstract template that defines the interface that the atomic action system uses to notify objects that various state transitions have occurred as the 2PC protocol executes. Record types derived from this class manage certain properties of objects such as recovery information, concurrency control information etc, and all must redefine the operations defined here as abstract to take appropriate action. Many functions are declared pure virtual to force a definition to occur in any derived class. These are currently all functions dealing with atomic action coordination as well as the following list management functions: typeIs: returns the record type of the instance. This is one of the values of the enumerated type Record_type value: Some arbitrary value associated with the record instance merge: Used when two records need to merge together. Currently this is only used by CadaverRecords to merge information from PersistenceRecords shouldAdd: returns TRUE is the record should be added to the list FALSE if it should be discarded shouldMerge: returns TRUE is the two records should be merged into a single record, FALSE if it should be discarded shouldReplace: returns TRUE if the record should replace an existing one, FALSE otherwise.

    • doSave

      public boolean doSave()
      Should this record be saved in the intentions list? If the record is saved, then it may be recovered later in the event of a failure. Note, however, that the size of the intentions list on disk is critical to the performance of the system (disk I/O is a bottleneck).
      Returns:
      true if it should be saved, false otherwise. false is the default.

    • type

      public String type()
      Re-implementation of abstract methods inherited from base class.
      Overrides:
      type in class StateManager

    • print

      public void print(PrintWriter strm)
      Write information about this specific instance to the specified stream.
      Overrides:
      print in class StateManager
      Parameters:
      strm - the stream on which to output.

    • save_state

      public boolean save_state(OutputObjectState os, int i)
      When the transaction is required to make the intentions list persistent, it scans the list and asks each record whether or not it requires state to be saved (by calling doSave). If the answer is yes, then save_state is called and the record instance must save enough information to enable it to be restored from that state later. The basic AbstractRecord save_state will save common data that is required by the base class during recovery. If a derived class calls super.save_state then it must be called before packing any other data item.
      Overrides:
      save_state in class StateManager
      Returns:
      true if successful, false otherwise.

    • restore_state

      public boolean restore_state(InputObjectState os, int i)
      During recovery, the transaction log is given to the recovery system and it will recreate a transaction instance to perform necessary recovery actions. This transaction will recreate the intentions list and give each recreated AbstractRecord the state that that was saved during transaction persistence. The base class will restore information that it needs from the log. Data items must be unpacked in the same order that they were packed.
      Overrides:
      restore_state in class StateManager
      Returns:
      true if successful, false otherwise.

    • forgetHeuristic

      public boolean forgetHeuristic()
      Forget any heuristic outcome which this implementation may have produced.
      Returns:
      true by default. If false is returned then the instance must be remembered by the transaction (in the log) in order for recovery to retry later or for a system administrator to be able to determine which resources have not been successfully completed.

    • clearHeuristicDecision

      public void clearHeuristicDecision()
      Clearing the heuristic state on the resource. If the resource maintains a state of the prior heuristic outcome then it should use this method to clear the state and forget the heuristic.

    • nestedOnePhaseCommit

      public int nestedOnePhaseCommit()
      Perform a nested one phase commit.
      Returns:
      TwoPhaseOutcome to indicate success/failure.
      See Also:

    • isPermittedTopLevelOnePhaseCommit

      public boolean isPermittedTopLevelOnePhaseCommit()

      Defines if the participant record permits the use of the one phase commit optimization.

      By default it's expected this to be true but the children records can override this if it's necessary for them to forbid 1PC to be run.

      Returns:
      true if 1PC could be run for the participant, otherwise false

    • topLevelOnePhaseCommit

      public int topLevelOnePhaseCommit()
