All Implemented Interfaces:

Cloneable

public class PersistentSnapshotDeletionPolicy
extends SnapshotDeletionPolicy

A SnapshotDeletionPolicy which adds a persistence layer so that snapshots can be maintained across the life of an application. The snapshots are persisted in a Directory and are committed as soon as snapshot() or release(IndexCommit) is called.

NOTE: Sharing PersistentSnapshotDeletionPolicys that write to the same directory across IndexWriters will corrupt snapshots. You should make sure every IndexWriter has its own PersistentSnapshotDeletionPolicy and that they all write to a different Directory. It is OK to use the same Directory that holds the index.

This class adds a release(long) method to release commits from a previous snapshot's IndexCommit.getGeneration().

WARNING: This API is experimental and might change in incompatible ways in the next release.

Constructor Detail

PersistentSnapshotDeletionPolicy

public PersistentSnapshotDeletionPolicy(IndexDeletionPolicy primary,
                                        Directory dir)
                                 throws IOException

PersistentSnapshotDeletionPolicy wraps another IndexDeletionPolicy to enable flexible snapshotting, passing IndexWriterConfig.OpenMode.CREATE_OR_APPEND by default.

Parameters:

primary - the IndexDeletionPolicy that is used on non-snapshotted commits. Snapshotted commits, by definition, are not deleted until explicitly released via release(org.apache.lucene.index.IndexCommit).

dir - the Directory which will be used to persist the snapshots information.

Throws:

IOException

PersistentSnapshotDeletionPolicy

public PersistentSnapshotDeletionPolicy(IndexDeletionPolicy primary,
                                        Directory dir,
                                        IndexWriterConfig.OpenMode mode)
                                 throws IOException

PersistentSnapshotDeletionPolicy wraps another IndexDeletionPolicy to enable flexible snapshotting.

Parameters:

primary - the IndexDeletionPolicy that is used on non-snapshotted commits. Snapshotted commits, by definition, are not deleted until explicitly released via release(org.apache.lucene.index.IndexCommit).

dir - the Directory which will be used to persist the snapshots information.

mode - specifies whether a new index should be created, deleting all existing snapshots information (immediately), or open an existing index, initializing the class with the snapshots information.

Throws:

IOException

Method Detail

snapshot

public IndexCommit snapshot()
                     throws IOException

Snapshots the last commit. Once this method returns, the snapshot information is persisted in the directory.

Overrides:

snapshot in class SnapshotDeletionPolicy

Returns:

the IndexCommit that was snapshotted.

Throws:

IOException

See Also:

SnapshotDeletionPolicy.snapshot()

release

public void release(IndexCommit commit)
             throws IOException

Deletes a snapshotted commit. Once this method returns, the snapshot information is persisted in the directory.

Overrides:

release in class SnapshotDeletionPolicy

Parameters:

commit - the commit previously returned by SnapshotDeletionPolicy.snapshot()

Throws:

IOException

See Also:

SnapshotDeletionPolicy.release(org.apache.lucene.index.IndexCommit)

release

public void release(long gen)
             throws IOException

Deletes a snapshotted commit by generation. Once this method returns, the snapshot information is persisted in the directory.

Throws:

IOException

See Also:

IndexCommit.getGeneration(), SnapshotDeletionPolicy.release(org.apache.lucene.index.IndexCommit)

getLastSaveFile

public String getLastSaveFile()

Returns the file name the snapshots are currently saved to, or null if no snapshots have been saved.
