public interface AsyncResultSet extends ResultSet

Interface for result sets returned by async query methods.

Implements

ResultSet

Methods

<T>toList(Function<StructReader,T> transformer)

public abstract List<T> <T>toList(Function<StructReader,T> transformer)

Transforms the row cursor into an immutable list using the given transformer function. transformer will be called once per row, thus the returned list will contain one entry per row. This method will block until all the rows have been yielded by the cursor.

WARNING: This will result in consuming the entire list so this should be used judiciously after considering the memory requirements of the returned list.

WARNING: The RowBase object passed to transformer function is not immutable and is not guaranteed to remain valid after the transformer function returns. The same RowBase object might be passed multiple times to the transformer with different underlying data each time. So NEVER keep a reference to the RowBase outside of the transformer. Specifically do not use com.google.common.base.Functions#identity() function.

Parameter
Name	Description
transformer	com.google.common.base.Function<StructReader,T> function which will be used to transform the row. It should not return null.

Returns
Type	Description
List<T>

Exceptions
Type	Description
SpannerException

<T>toListAsync(Function<StructReader,T> transformer, Executor executor)

public abstract ApiFuture<List<T>> <T>toListAsync(Function<StructReader,T> transformer, Executor executor)

Transforms the row cursor into an immutable list using the given transformer function. transformer will be called once per row, thus the returned list will contain one entry per row. The returned future will throw a SpannerException if the row cursor encountered any error or if the transformer threw an exception on any row.

The transformer will be run on the supplied executor. The implementation may batch multiple transformer invocations together into a single Runnable when possible to increase efficiency. At any point in time, there will be at most one invocation of the transformer in progress.

WARNING: This will result in materializing the entire list so this should be used judiciously after considering the memory requirements of the returned list.

WARNING: The RowBase object passed to transformer function is not immutable and is not guaranteed to remain valid after the transformer function returns. The same RowBase object might be passed multiple times to the transformer with different underlying data each time. So NEVER keep a reference to the RowBase outside of the transformer. Specifically do not use com.google.common.base.Functions#identity() function.

Parameters
Name	Description
transformer	com.google.common.base.Function<StructReader,T> function which will be used to transform the row. It should not return null.
executor	Executor executor on which the transformer will be run. This should ideally not be an inline executor such as MoreExecutors.directExecutor(); using such an executor may degrade the performance of the Spanner library.

Returns
Type	Description
ApiFuture<List<T>>

cancel()

public abstract void cancel()

Attempt to cancel this operation and free all resources. Non-blocking. This is a no-op for child row cursors and does not cancel the parent cursor.

resume()

public abstract void resume()

Resume callbacks from the cursor. If there is more data available, a callback will be dispatched immediately. This can be called from any thread.

setCallback(Executor exec, AsyncResultSet.ReadyCallback cb)

public abstract ApiFuture<Void> setCallback(Executor exec, AsyncResultSet.ReadyCallback cb)

Register a callback with the ResultSet to be made aware when more data is available, changing the usage pattern from sync to async. Details:

• The callback will be called at least once.
• The callback is run each time more results are available, or when we discover that there will be no more results. (unless paused, see below). Spurious callbacks are possible, see below.
• Spanner guarantees that one callback is ever outstanding at a time. Also, future callbacks guarantee the "happens before" property with previous callbacks.
• A callback normally consumes all available data in the ResultSet, and then returns CallbackResponse#CONTINUE.
• If a callback returns CallbackResponse#CONTINUE with data still in the ResultSet, the callback is invoked again immediately!
• Once a callback has returned CallbackResponse#PAUSE on the cursor no more callbacks will be run until a corresponding #resume().
• Callback will stop being called once any of the following occurs:
  1. Callback returns CallbackResponse#DONE.
  2. ForwardingAsyncResultSet#tryNext() returns CursorState#DONE.
  3. ForwardingAsyncResultSet#tryNext() throws an exception.
• Callback may possibly be invoked after a call to ForwardingAsyncResultSet#cancel() call, but the subsequent call to #tryNext() will yield a SpannerException.
• Spurious callbacks are possible where cursors are not actually ready. Typically callback should return CallbackResponse#CONTINUE any time it sees CursorState#NOT_READY.

Flow Control

If no flow control is needed (say because result sizes are known in advance to be finite in size) then async processing is simple. The following is a code example that transfers work from the cursor to an upstream sink:

{@code

Parameters
Name	Description
exec	Executor executor on which to run all callbacks. Typically use a threadpool. If the executor is one that runs the work on the submitting thread, you must be very careful not to throw RuntimeException up the stack, lest you do damage to calling components. For example, it may cause an event dispatcher thread to crash.
cb	AsyncResultSet.ReadyCallback ready callback

Returns
Type	Description
ApiFuture<Void>	An ApiFuture that returns null when the consumption of the AsyncResultSet has finished successfully. No more calls to the ReadyCallback will follow and all resources used by the AsyncResultSet have been cleaned up. The ApiFuture throws an ExecutionException if the consumption of the AsyncResultSet finished with an error.

tryNext()

public abstract AsyncResultSet.CursorState tryNext()

Non-blocking call that attempts to step the cursor to the next position in the stream. The cursor may be inspected only if the cursor returns CursorState.OK.

A caller will typically call tryNext in a loop inside the ReadyCallback, consuming all results available. For more information see #setCallback(Executor, ReadyCallback).

Currently this method may only be called if a ReadyCallback has been registered. This is for safety purposes only, and may be relaxed in future.

Returns
Type	Description
AsyncResultSet.CursorState	current cursor readiness state

Exceptions
Type	Description
SpannerException	When an unrecoverable problem downstream occurs. Once this occurs you will get no further callbacks. You should return CallbackResponse.DONE back from callback.
