java.lang.Enum<WriteType>

alluxio.client.WriteType

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<WriteType>

@PublicApi
 @ThreadSafe
public enum WriteType
extends Enum<WriteType>

Write types for creating a file in Alluxio.

Enum Constant Summary

Enum Constants

Enum Constant and Description
CACHE_THROUGH Write the file synchronously to the under fs, and also try to write to the highest tier in a worker's Alluxio storage.
MUST_CACHE Write the file, guaranteeing the data is written to Alluxio storage or failing the operation.
NONE Do not store the data in Alluxio or Under Storage.
THROUGH Write the file synchronously to the under fs, skipping Alluxio storage.
TRY_CACHE Deprecated. This write type is deprecated as of v0.8 and not recommended for use. Use either MUST_CACHE or CACHE_THROUGH depending on your data persistence requirements.

Enum Constant Detail

MUST_CACHE

public static final WriteType MUST_CACHE

Write the file, guaranteeing the data is written to Alluxio storage or failing the operation. The data will be written to the highest tier in a worker's storage. Data will not be persisted to the under storage.

TRY_CACHE

@Deprecated
public static final WriteType TRY_CACHE

Deprecated. This write type is deprecated as of v0.8 and not recommended for use. Use either MUST_CACHE or CACHE_THROUGH depending on your data persistence requirements.

Write the file and try to cache it.

CACHE_THROUGH

public static final WriteType CACHE_THROUGH

Write the file synchronously to the under fs, and also try to write to the highest tier in a worker's Alluxio storage.

THROUGH

public static final WriteType THROUGH

Write the file synchronously to the under fs, skipping Alluxio storage.

NONE

public static final WriteType NONE

Do not store the data in Alluxio or Under Storage. This write type should only be used for development testing.

Method Detail

values

public static WriteType[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (WriteType c : WriteType.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static WriteType valueOf(String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

NullPointerException - if the argument is null

getAlluxioStorageType

public alluxio.client.AlluxioStorageType getAlluxioStorageType()

Returns:

the AlluxioStorageType which is associated with this mode

getUnderStorageType

public alluxio.client.UnderStorageType getUnderStorageType()

Returns:

the UnderStorageType which is associated with this mode

getValue

public int getValue()

Returns:

the value of the write type

isAsync

public boolean isAsync()

Returns:

false

isCache

public boolean isCache()

Returns:

true if by this write type data will be cached in Alluxio space (e.g., MUST_CACHE, CACHE_THROUGH, TRY_CACHE), false otherwise

isThrough

public boolean isThrough()

Returns:

true if by this write type data will be persisted synchronously to under storage (e.g., CACHE_THROUGH or THROUGH), false otherwise

fromProto

public static WriteType fromProto(alluxio.grpc.WritePType writePType)

Parameters:

writePType - proto type

Returns:

wire type for given proto type

toProto

public alluxio.grpc.WritePType toProto()

Returns:

proto representation of this instance
