Interface Connector

All Known Implementing Classes:
BasicStorageConnector
public interface Connector
Storage connector interface.

This interface declares the methods accessible from the driver.

  • Method Details

    • getOntologyUri

      URI getOntologyUri()
      Gets logical URI of the ontology loaded by this connector.
      Returns:
      Ontology URI

    • getOntologySnapshot

      OntologySnapshot getOntologySnapshot()
      Gets snapshot of the underlying ontology.

      The snapshot is completely independent of the live ontology, so any changes to either are not visible to the other.

      Returns:
      Value object with the ontology snapshot

    • executeRead

      <R> R executeRead(Function<OntologySnapshot,R> function)
      Executes read-only operation on the live ontology.
      Type Parameters:
      R - Result type
      Parameters:
      function - The function to execute
      Returns:
      Read result

    • executeWrite

      void executeWrite(Consumer<OntologySnapshot> function)
      Executes a write operation on the live ontology.
      Parameters:
      function - The function to execute

    • applyChanges

      void applyChanges(List<TransactionalChange> changes)
      Applies the specified changes to the underlying ontology.

      Note that this operation is atomic - the changes are applied as a whole and no other operation can be performed on the underlying ontology while the changes are being applied.

      Parameters:
      changes - The changes to apply

    • closeSnapshot

      void closeSnapshot(OntologySnapshot snapshot)
      Closes the specified transactional snapshot.

      This in particular means destroying the transactional ontology.

      Parameters:
      snapshot - The snapshot to close
