Interface DistributedObject

All Known Subinterfaces:
BaseMap<K,V>, BaseQueue<E>, CPMap<K,V>, FencedLock, FlakeIdGenerator, IAtomicLong, IAtomicReference<E>, ICollection<E>, ICountDownLatch, IExecutorService, IList<E>, IMap<K,V>, IQueue<E>, IScheduledExecutorService, ISemaphore, ITopic<E>, PNCounter, ReplicatedMap<K,V>, Ringbuffer<E>
public interface DistributedObject
Base interface for all distributed objects.

All distributed objects are not garbage collectable unless destroy() is called first. Note: Failure to destroy after you are done using a distributed object will lead to memory leaks.

    • getPartitionKey

      String getPartitionKey()
      Returns the key of the partition that this DistributedObject is assigned to. The returned value only has meaning for a non-partitioned data structure like an IAtomicLong. For a partitioned data structure like an {IMap}, the returned value will not be null, but otherwise undefined.
      Returns:
      the partition key.

    • getName

      String getName()
      Returns the unique name for this DistributedObject. The returned value will never be null.
      Returns:
      the unique name for this object.

    • getServiceName

      String getServiceName()
      Returns the service name for this object.
      Returns:
      the service name for this object.

    • destroy

      void destroy()
      Destroys this object cluster-wide. Clears and releases all resources for this object.
