Method Detail

setBlockSize

void setBlockSize(int x)

Set the block size used by this blob store, if the blob store splits binaries into blocks. If not, this setting is ignored.

Parameters:

x - the block size in bytes.

writeBlob

String writeBlob(String tempFileName)
                 throws IOException

Write a blob from a temporary file. The temporary file is removed afterwards. A file based blob stores might simply rename the file, so that no additional writes are necessary.

Parameters:

tempFilePath - the temporary file

Returns:

the blob id

Throws:

IOException

sweep

int sweep()
          throws IOException

Remove all unused blocks.

Returns:

the number of removed blocks

Throws:

IOException

startMark

void startMark()
               throws IOException

Start the mark phase.

Throws:

IOException

clearInUse

void clearInUse()

Clear all objects marked as "transiently in use".

clearCache

void clearCache()

Clear the cache.

getBlockSizeMin

long getBlockSizeMin()

Get the minimum block size (if there is any).

Returns:

the block size
