Method Detail

getSigner

BlobRequestSigner getSigner()

Generates signed requests for blobs. useful in other tools such as backup utilities.

createInputStreamMap

InputStreamMap createInputStreamMap(String container,
                                    ListContainerOptions options)

Creates a Map view of the specified container. Use this for simplest access to blobstore, knowing that MD5s will be calculated for every object.

Parameters:

container - existing container you wish to read or modify

options - allow you to specify a directory within the container, or whether to list recursively.

createInputStreamMap

InputStreamMap createInputStreamMap(String container)

Creates a Map view of the specified container. Use this for simplest access to blobstore, knowing that MD5s will be calculated for every object. Only root-level blobs will be visible.

Parameters:

container - existing container you wish to read or modify

createBlobMap

BlobMap createBlobMap(String container,
                      ListContainerOptions options)

Creates a Map view of the specified container. Use this when you wan to control the content type, or manually specify length or size of blobs.

Parameters:

container - existing container you wish to read or modify

options - allow you to specify a directory within the container, or whether to list recursively.

createBlobMap

BlobMap createBlobMap(String container)

Creates a Map view of the specified container. Use this when you wan to control the content type, or manually specify length or size of blobs. Only root-level blobs will be visible.

Parameters:

container - existing container you wish to read or modify

getAsyncBlobStore

AsyncBlobStore getAsyncBlobStore()

Returns:

a portable asynchronous interface for the BlobStore, which returns Futures for each call.

getBlobStore

BlobStore getBlobStore()

Returns:

a portable interface for the BlobStore.

getConsistencyModel

ConsistencyModel getConsistencyModel()

Returns:

best guess at the consistency model used in this BlobStore.

getProviderSpecificContext

<S,A> RestContext<S,A> getProviderSpecificContext()

Returns:

a context you can use to the access provider or vendor specific api underlying this context.

getUtils

Utils getUtils()

utils

Utils utils()
