Class ObjectInserter

java.lang.Object
  org.eclipse.jgit.lib.ObjectInserter

Direct Known Subclasses:

DfsInserter, ObjectInserter.Filter, ObjectInserter.Formatter

public abstract class ObjectInserter
extends Object

Inserts objects into an existing ObjectDatabase.

An inserter is not thread-safe. Individual threads should each obtain their own unique inserter instance, or must arrange for locking at a higher level to ensure the inserter is in use by no more than one thread at a time.

Objects written by an inserter may not be immediately visible for reading after the insert method completes. Callers must invoke either release() or flush() prior to updating references or otherwise making the returned ObjectIds visible to other code.

Nested Class Summary

static class	ObjectInserter.Filter Wraps a delegate ObjectInserter.
static class	ObjectInserter.Formatter An inserter that can be used for formatting and id generation only.

Constructor Detail

ObjectInserter

protected ObjectInserter()

Create a new inserter for a database.

Method Detail

buffer

protected byte[] buffer()

Obtain a temporary buffer for use by the ObjectInserter or its subclass.

This buffer is supplied by the ObjectInserter base class to itself and its subclasses for the purposes of pulling data from a supplied InputStream, passing it through a Deflater, or formatting the canonical format of a small object like a small tree or commit.

This buffer IS NOT for translation such as auto-CRLF or content filtering and must not be used for such purposes.

The returned buffer is small, around a few KiBs, and the size may change between versions of JGit. Callers using this buffer must always check the length of the returned array to ascertain how much space was provided.

There is a single buffer for each ObjectInserter, repeated calls to this method will (usually) always return the same buffer. If the caller needs more than one buffer, or needs a buffer of a larger size, it must manage that buffer on its own.

The buffer is usually on first demand for a buffer.

Returns:

a temporary byte array for use by the caller.

digest

protected MessageDigest digest()

Returns:

digest to help compute an ObjectId

idFor

public ObjectId idFor(int type,
                      byte[] data)

Compute the name of an object, without inserting it.

Parameters:

type - type code of the object to store.

data - complete content of the object.

Returns:

the name of the object.

idFor

public ObjectId idFor(int type,
                      byte[] data,
                      int off,
                      int len)

Compute the name of an object, without inserting it.

Parameters:

type - type code of the object to store.

data - complete content of the object.

off - first position within data.

len - number of bytes to copy from data.

Returns:

the name of the object.

idFor

public ObjectId idFor(int objectType,
                      long length,
                      InputStream in)
               throws IOException

Compute the name of an object, without inserting it.

Parameters:

objectType - type code of the object to store.

length - number of bytes to scan from in.

in - stream providing the object content. The caller is responsible for closing the stream.

Returns:

the name of the object.

Throws:

IOException - the source stream could not be read.

idFor

public ObjectId idFor(TreeFormatter formatter)

Compute the ObjectId for the given tree without inserting it.

Parameters:

formatter -

Returns:

the computed ObjectId

insert

public final ObjectId insert(TreeFormatter formatter)
                      throws IOException

Insert a single tree into the store, returning its unique name.

Parameters:

formatter - the formatter containing the proposed tree's data.

Returns:

the name of the tree object.

Throws:

IOException - the object could not be stored.

insert

public final ObjectId insert(CommitBuilder builder)
                      throws IOException

Insert a single commit into the store, returning its unique name.

Parameters:

insert

length - number of bytes to copy from in.

in - stream providing the object content. The caller is responsible for closing the stream.

Returns:

release

public abstract void release()

Release any resources used by this inserter.

An inserter that has been released can be used again, but may need to be released after the subsequent usage.
