isLogSearchSupported

boolean isLogSearchSupported()

Returns whether or not this ChangeLogService supports searching for changes.

getChangeLogSearchEngine

ChangeLogSearchEngine getChangeLogSearchEngine()

Gets the change log query engine which would be used to ask questions about what changed, when, how and by whom. It may not be supported by all implementations. Some implementations may simply log changes without direct access to those changes from within the server.

Returns:

the change log query engine

Throws:

java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException - if the change log is not searchable

getTagSearchEngine

TagSearchEngine getTagSearchEngine()

Gets the tag search engine used to query the snapshots taken. If this ChangeLogService does not support a taggable and searchable store then an UnsupportedOperationException will result.

Throws:

java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException - if the tag searching is not supported

tag

Tag tag(long revision)
 throws java.lang.Exception

Creates a tag for a snapshot of the server in a specific state at a revision. If the ChangeLog has a TaggableChangeLogStore then the tag is stored. If it does not then it's up to callers to track this tag since it will not be stored by this service.

Parameters:

revision - the revision to tag the snapshot

Returns:

the Tag associated with the revision

Throws:

java.lang.Exception - if there is a problem taking a tag

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the revision is out of range (less than 0 and greater than the current revision)

tag

Tag tag(long revision,
        java.lang.String description)
 throws java.lang.Exception

Creates a tag for a snapshot of the server in a specific state at a revision. If the ChangeLog has a TaggableChangeLogStore then the tag is stored. If it does not then it's up to callers to track this tag since it will not be stored by this service.

Parameters:

revision - the revision to tag the snapshot

description - some information about what the snapshot tag represents

Returns:

the Tag associated with the revision

Throws:

java.lang.Exception - if there is a problem taking a tag

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the revision is out of range (less than 0 and greater than the current revision)

tag

Tag tag(java.lang.String description)
 throws java.lang.Exception

Creates a snapshot of the server at the current revision.

Parameters:

description - some information about what the snapshot tag represents
