Class TimeDelayFilter

java.lang.Object
  extended by com.continuent.tungsten.replicator.filter.TimeDelayFilter
All Implemented Interfaces:
Filter, ReplicatorPlugin

public class TimeDelayFilter
extends java.lang.Object
implements Filter

Filter to delay a transaction until a particular point in time has passed. The time delay filter uses the originating timestamp from the replication event to just time delays. We assume that clocks are synchronized to within some reasonable precision between event producers and consumers. Note: This filter may cause problems if used on a master. It should only be used as an applier filter.

Method Detail

setDelay

public void setDelay(long timeDelaySeconds)
Sets the time delay in seconds.


filter

public ReplDBMSEvent filter(ReplDBMSEvent event)
                     throws ReplicatorException,
                            java.lang.InterruptedException
Implements a delay in processing the event. Filter the event. Filters may transform the event or return null if the event should be discarded. Filters must be prepared to be interrupted, which mechanism is used to cancel processing.

Specified by:
filter in interface Filter
Parameters:
event - An event to be filtered
Returns:
Filtered ReplDBMSEvent or null
Throws:
ReplicatorException - Thrown if there is a processing error
java.lang.InterruptedException - Must be thrown if the filter is interrupted or the replicator may hang

Filter.filter(com.continuent.tungsten.replicator.event.ReplDBMSEvent)

configure

public void configure(PluginContext context)
               throws ReplicatorException
Complete plug-in configuration. This is called after setters are invoked at the time that the replicator goes through configuration.

Specified by:
configure in interface ReplicatorPlugin
Throws:
ReplicatorException - Thrown if configuration is incomplete or fails
See Also:
ReplicatorPlugin.configure(com.continuent.tungsten.replicator.plugin.PluginContext)

prepare

public void prepare(PluginContext context)
             throws ReplicatorException
Prepare plug-in for use. This method is assumed to allocate all required resources. It is called before the plug-in performs any operations.

Specified by:
prepare in interface ReplicatorPlugin
Throws:
ReplicatorException - Thrown if resource allocation fails
See Also:
ReplicatorPlugin.prepare(com.continuent.tungsten.replicator.plugin.PluginContext)

release

public void release(PluginContext context)
             throws ReplicatorException
Release all resources used by plug-in. This is called before the plug-in is deallocated.

Specified by:
release in interface ReplicatorPlugin
Throws:
ReplicatorException - Thrown if resource deallocation fails

ReplicatorPlugin.release(com.continuent.tungsten.replicator.plugin.PluginContext)
