Interface FastMerge

  • All Known Implementing Classes:
    GCounter, GSet, ORSet

    public interface FastMerge
    INTERNAL API

    Optimization for add/remove followed by merge and merge should just fast forward to the new instance.

    It's like a cache between calls of the same thread, you can think of it as a thread local. The Replicator actor invokes the user's modify function, which returns a new ReplicatedData instance, with the ancestor field set (see for example the add method in ORSet). Then (in same thread) the Replication calls merge, which makes use of the ancestor field to perform quick merge (see for example merge method in ORSet).

    It's not thread safe if the modifying function and merge are called from different threads, i.e. if used outside the Replicator infrastructure, but the worst thing that can happen is that a full merge is performed instead of the fast forward merge.

    • Method Detail

      • ancestor_$eq

        void ancestor_$eq​(FastMerge x$1)
      • assignAncestor

        FastMerge assignAncestor​(akka.cluster.ddata.ReplicatedData.T newData)
        INTERNAL API: should be called from "updating" methods, and `resetDelta`
      • clearAncestor

        FastMerge clearAncestor()
        INTERNAL API: should be called from merge
      • isAncestorOf

        boolean isAncestorOf​(akka.cluster.ddata.ReplicatedData.T that)
        INTERNAL API: should be used from merge
