Class Mutations

    java.lang.Object
      com.sleepycat.persist.evolve.Mutations

All Implemented Interfaces:
  Serializable

    public class Mutations

extends Object
implements Serializable

A collection of mutations for configuring class evolution.

Mutations are configured when a store is opened via `StoreConfig.setMutations`. For example:

      Mutations mutations = new Mutations();
      // Add mutations...
      StoreConfig config = new StoreConfig();
      config.setMutations(mutations);
      EntityStore store = new EntityStore(env, "myStore", config);

Mutations cause data conversion to occur lazily as instances are read from the store. The `EntityStore.evolve` method may also be used to perform eager conversion.

Not all incompatible class changes can be handled via mutations. For example, complex refactoring may require a transformation that manipulates multiple entity instances at once. Such changes are not possible with mutations but can made by performing a store conversion.

Method Detail

### isEmpty

    public boolean isEmpty()

  Returns true if no mutations are present.

### addRenamer

  Adds a renamer mutation.

### getRenamer

    public Renamer getRenamer(String className,

                                  String fieldName)

  Returns the converter mutation for the given class, version and field, or null if none exists. A null field name should be specified to get a class converter.

### getConverters

    public Collection<Converter> getConverters()

  Returns an unmodifiable collection of all converter mutations.
