Interface RegionDatabase

All Known Implementing Classes:

MemoryRegionDatabase, YamlRegionFile

public interface RegionDatabase

A region database stores a set of regions for a single world.

If there are multiple worlds, then there should be one region database per world. To manage multiple region databases, consider using an implementation of a RegionDriver.

java.lang.String	getName() Get a displayable name for this store.
java.util.Set<ProtectedRegion>	loadAll(FlagRegistry flags) Load all regions from storage and place them into the passed map.

Method Detail

getName

java.lang.String getName()

Get a displayable name for this store.

loadAll

java.util.Set<ProtectedRegion> loadAll(FlagRegistry flags)
                                throws StorageException

Load all regions from storage and place them into the passed map.

The map will only be modified from one thread. The keys of each map entry will be in respect to the ID of the region but transformed to be lowercase. Until this method returns, the map may not be modified by any other thread simultaneously. If an exception is thrown, then the state in which the map is left is undefined.

The provided map should have reasonably efficient get() and put() calls in order to maximize performance.

Parameters:

flags - a flag registry

Returns:

a set of loaded regions

Throws:

StorageException - thrown on read error

saveAll

void saveAll(java.util.Set<ProtectedRegion> regions)
      throws StorageException

Replace all the data in the store with the given collection of regions.

Parameters:

regions - a set of regions

Throws:

StorageException - thrown on write error

saveChanges

void saveChanges(RegionDifference difference)
          throws DifferenceSaveException,
                 StorageException

Perform a partial save that only commits changes, rather than the entire region index.

Parameters:

difference - the difference

Throws:

DifferenceSaveException - thrown if partial saves are not supported

StorageException - thrown on write error
