Method Detail

getContext

BlobStoreContext getContext()

Returns:

a reference to the context that created this BlobStore.

blobBuilder

BlobBuilder blobBuilder(String name)

Returns:

builder for creating new Blobs

listAssignableLocations

Set<? extends Location> listAssignableLocations()

The get locations command returns all the valid locations for containers. A location has a scope, which is typically region or zone. A region is a general area, like eu-west, where a zone is similar to a datacenter. If a location has a parent, that implies it is within that location. For example a location can be a rack, whose parent is likely to be a zone.

list

PageSet<? extends StorageMetadata> list()

Lists all root-level resources available to the identity.

containerExists

boolean containerExists(String container)

determines if a service-level container exists

createContainerInLocation

boolean createContainerInLocation(@Nullable
                                  Location location,
                                  String container)

Creates a namespace for your blobs

A container is a namespace for your objects. Depending on the service, the scope can be global, identity, or sub-identity scoped. For example, in Amazon S3, containers are called buckets, and they must be uniquely named such that no-one else in the world conflicts. In other blobstores, the naming convention of the container is less strict. All blobstores allow you to list your containers and also the contents within them. These contents can either be blobs, folders, or virtual paths.

Parameters:

location - some blobstores allow you to specify a location, such as US-EAST, for where this container will exist. null will choose a default location

container - namespace. Typically constrained to lowercase alpha-numeric and hyphens.

Returns:

true if the container was created, false if it already existed.

createContainerInLocation

boolean createContainerInLocation(@Nullable
                                  Location location,
                                  String container,
                                  CreateContainerOptions options)

Parameters:

options - controls default access control

createContainerInLocation(Location,String)

list

PageSet<? extends StorageMetadata> list(String container)

Lists all resources in a container non-recursive.

Parameters:

container - what to list

Returns:

a list that may be incomplete, depending on whether PageSet#getNextMarker is set

list

PageSet<? extends StorageMetadata> list(String container,
                                        ListContainerOptions options)

Like list(String) except you can control the size, recursion, and context of the list using options

Parameters:

container - what to list

options - size, recursion, and context of the list

Returns:

a list that may be incomplete, depending on whether PageSet#getNextMarker is set

clearContainer

void clearContainer(String container)

This will delete the contents of a container at its root path without deleting the container

Parameters:

container - what to clear

clearContainer

void clearContainer(String container,
                    ListContainerOptions options)

Like clearContainer(String) except you can use options to do things like recursive deletes, or clear at a different path than root.

Parameters:
