public interface Batch extends DatastoreBatchWriter

An interface to represent a batch of write operations. Any write operation that is applied on a batch will only be sent to the Datastore upon #submit. A usage example:


 Entity entity1 = datastore.get(key1);
 Batch batch = datastore.newBatch();
 Entity entity2 = Entity.newBuilder(key2).set("name", "John").build();
 entity1 = Entity.newBuilder(entity1).clear().setNull("bla").build();
 Entity entity3 = Entity.newBuilder(key3).set("title", "title").build();
 batch.update(entity1);
 batch.add(entity2, entity3);
 batch.submit();
 

Methods

add(FullEntity<?> entity)

public abstract Entity add(FullEntity<?> entity)

Datastore add operation: inserts the provided entity. This method will automatically allocate an id if necessary. If entity has a complete key and was already marked for deletion in this writer, the operation will be changed to #put.

If an entity for entity.getKey() does not exists, entity is inserted. Otherwise, #submit() will throw a DatastoreException with DatastoreException#getReason() equal to "ALREADY_EXISTS".
