  • Method Details

    • path

      BlobPath path()
      Gets the BlobPath that defines the implementation specific paths to where the blobs are contained.
      Returns:
      the BlobPath where the blobs are contained
    • readBlob

      java.io.InputStream readBlob​(java.lang.String blobName) throws java.io.IOException
      Creates a new InputStream for the given blob name.
      Parameters:
      blobName - The name of the blob to get an InputStream for.
      Returns:
      The InputStream to read the blob.
      Throws:
      java.nio.file.NoSuchFileException - if the blob does not exist
      java.io.IOException - if the blob can not be read.
    • writeBlob

      void writeBlob​(java.lang.String blobName, java.io.InputStream inputStream, long blobSize, boolean failIfAlreadyExists) throws java.io.IOException
      Reads blob content from the input stream and writes it to the container in a new blob with the given name. This method assumes the container does not already contain a blob of the same blobName. If a blob by the same name already exists, the operation will fail and an IOException will be thrown.
      Parameters:
      blobName - The name of the blob to write the contents of the input stream to.
      inputStream - The input stream from which to retrieve the bytes to write to the blob.
      blobSize - The size of the blob to be written, in bytes. It is implementation dependent whether this value is used in writing the blob to the repository.
      failIfAlreadyExists - whether to throw a FileAlreadyExistsException if the given blob already exists
      Throws:
      java.nio.file.FileAlreadyExistsException - if failIfAlreadyExists is true and a blob by the same name already exists
      java.io.IOException - if the input stream could not be read, or the target blob could not be written to.
    • writeBlobAtomic

      void writeBlobAtomic​(java.lang.String blobName, java.io.InputStream inputStream, long blobSize, boolean failIfAlreadyExists) throws java.io.IOException
      Reads blob content from the input stream and writes it to the container in a new blob with the given name, using an atomic write operation if the implementation supports it. This method assumes the container does not already contain a blob of the same blobName. If a blob by the same name already exists, the operation will fail and an IOException will be thrown.
      Parameters:
      blobName - The name of the blob to write the contents of the input stream to.
      inputStream - The input stream from which to retrieve the bytes to write to the blob.
      blobSize - The size of the blob to be written, in bytes. It is implementation dependent whether this value is used in writing the blob to the repository.
      failIfAlreadyExists - whether to throw a FileAlreadyExistsException if the given blob already exists
      Throws:
      java.nio.file.FileAlreadyExistsException - if failIfAlreadyExists is true and a blob by the same name already exists
      java.io.IOException - if the input stream could not be read, or the target blob could not be written to.
    • delete

      DeleteResult delete() throws java.io.IOException
      Deletes this container and all its contents from the repository.
      Returns:
      delete result
      Throws:
      java.io.IOException - on failure
    • deleteBlobsIgnoringIfNotExists

      void deleteBlobsIgnoringIfNotExists​(java.util.List<java.lang.String> blobNames) throws java.io.IOException
      Deletes the blobs with given names. This method will not throw an exception when one or multiple of the given blobs don't exist and simply ignore this case.
      Parameters:
      blobNames - The names of the blob to delete.
      Throws:
      java.io.IOException - if a subset of blob exists but could not be deleted.
    • listBlobs

      java.util.Map<java.lang.String,​BlobMetaData> listBlobs() throws java.io.IOException
      Lists all blobs in the container.
      Returns:
      A map of all the blobs in the container. The keys in the map are the names of the blobs and the values are BlobMetaData, containing basic information about each blob.
      Throws:
      java.io.IOException - if there were any failures in reading from the blob container.
    • children

      java.util.Map<java.lang.String,​BlobContainer> children() throws java.io.IOException
      Lists all child containers under this container. A child container is defined as a container whose path() method returns a path that has this containers path() return as its prefix and has one more path element than the current container's path.
      Returns:
      Map of name of the child container to child container
      Throws:
      java.io.IOException - on failure to list child containers
    • listBlobsByPrefix

      java.util.Map<java.lang.String,​BlobMetaData> listBlobsByPrefix​(java.lang.String blobNamePrefix) throws java.io.IOException
      Lists all blobs in the container that match the specified prefix.
      Parameters:
      blobNamePrefix - The prefix to match against blob names in the container.
      Returns:
      A map of the matching blobs in the container. The keys in the map are the names of the blobs and the values are BlobMetaData, containing basic information about each blob.
      Throws:
      java.io.IOException - if there were any failures in reading from the blob container.
