Interface Batch (2.18.5)

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();
 

WARNING: This class maintains an internal state in terms of java.util.LinkedHashMap and java.util.LinkedHashSet which gets updated on every method call performing CRUD operations to record the mutations. Since java.util.LinkedHashMap is not thread safe as per its documentation, This class too should not be treated as a thread safe class.

Methods

add(FullEntity<?> entity)

public abstract Entity add(FullEntity<?> entity)
