Class MemoryBackend

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    RequestHandler, HealthStatusProvider

    public final class MemoryBackend
    extends LocalBackend<MemoryBackendCfg>
    This class defines a very simple backend that stores its information in memory. This is primarily intended for testing purposes with small data sets, as it does not have any indexing mechanism such as would be required to achieve high performance with large data sets. It is also heavily synchronized for simplicity at the expense of performance, rather than providing a more fine-grained locking mechanism.

    Entries stored in this backend are held in a LinkedHashMap<DN,Entry> object, which ensures that the order in which you iterate over the entries is the same as the order in which they were inserted. By combining this with the constraint that no entry can be added before its parent, you can ensure that iterating through the entries will always process the parent entries before their children, which is important for both search result processing and LDIF exports.

    As mentioned above, no data indexing is performed, so all non-baseObject searches require iteration through the entire data set. If this is to become a more general-purpose backend, then additional HashMap<ByteString,Set<DN>> objects could be used to provide that capability.

    There is actually one index that does get maintained within this backend, which is a mapping between the DN of an entry and the DNs of any immediate children of that entry. This is needed to efficiently determine whether an entry has any children (which must not be the case for delete operations).

      • configureBackend

        public void configureBackend​(MemoryBackendCfg config,
                                     ServerContext serverContext)
        Description copied from class: Backend
        Configure this backend based on the information in the provided configuration. When the method returns, the backend will have been configured (ready to be opened) but still unable to process operations.
        Specified by:
        configureBackend in class Backend<MemoryBackendCfg>
        Parameters:
        config - The configuration of this backend.
        serverContext - The server context for this instance
      • isPublicBackend

        public boolean isPublicBackend()
        Description copied from class: Backend
        Indicates whether the base DNs of this backend should be considered public or private.

        This method also controls the visibility of the associated naming contexts. i.e. if any base DN of this backend is a naming context, then it will be public or private, based on the value returned by this method.

        Reminder: Public naming contexts are returned when querying the root DSE entry.

        Specified by:
        isPublicBackend in class Backend<MemoryBackendCfg>
        Returns:
        true if this backend's baseDNs could be exposed as a public naming context, false if they must remain private naming contexts.
      • clearMemoryBackend

        public void clearMemoryBackend()
        Removes any data that may have been stored in this backend.
      • closeBackend

        public void closeBackend()
        Description copied from class: LocalBackend
        Performs any necessary work to finally close this backend, particularly closing any underlying databases or connections and deregistering any suffixes that it manages with the Directory Server.

        It will be called as final step of finalizeBackend(), so subclasses might override it.

        Overrides:
        closeBackend in class LocalBackend<MemoryBackendCfg>
      • getBaseDNs

        public Set<Dn> getBaseDNs()

        Specified by:
        getBaseDNs in class Backend<MemoryBackendCfg>
        Returns:
        The set of base-level DNs that may be used within this backend.
      • getEntryCount

        public long getEntryCount()
        Description copied from class: LocalBackend
        Retrieves the total number of entries contained in this backend, if that information is available.
        Specified by:
        getEntryCount in class LocalBackend<MemoryBackendCfg>
        Returns:

      • isIndexed

        public boolean isIndexed​(AttributeType attributeType,
                                 IndexType indexType)
        Description copied from class: LocalBackend
        Indicates whether search operations which target the specified attribute in the indicated manner would be considered indexed in this backend. The operation should be considered indexed only if the specified operation can be completed efficiently within the backend.

        Note that this method should return a general result that covers all values of the specified attribute. If a the specified attribute is indexed in the indicated manner but some particular values may still be treated as unindexed (e.g., if the number of entries with that attribute value exceeds some threshold), then this method should still return true for the specified attribute and index type.
        Specified by:
        isIndexed in class LocalBackend<MemoryBackendCfg>
        Parameters:
        attributeType - The attribute type for which to make the determination.
        indexType - The index type for which to make the determination.
        Returns:
        true if search operations targeting the specified attribute in the indicated manner should be considered indexed, or false if not.
