Enum Constant Summary

Enum Constants

Enum Constant	Description
NonTailable	A non-tailable cursor.
Tailable	Tailable means the cursor is not closed when the last data is retrieved.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
abstract boolean	isTailable()	True if the cursor type is tailable.

Enum Constant Details

NonTailable

public static final CursorType NonTailable

A non-tailable cursor. This is sufficient for a vast majority of uses.

Tailable

public static final CursorType Tailable

Tailable means the cursor is not closed when the last data is retrieved. Rather, the cursor marks the final object's position. You can resume using the cursor later, from where it was located, if more data were received. Like any "latent cursor", the cursor may become invalid at some point - for example if the final object it references were deleted.

TailableAwait

public static final CursorType TailableAwait

A tailable cursor with a built-in server sleep before returning an empty batch. In most cases this is preferred type of tailable cursor, as it is less resource intensive.

Method Details

values

public static CursorType[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum class, in the order they are declared.

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum class, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static CursorType valueOf(String name)

Returns the enum constant of this class with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this class. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if this enum class has no constant with the specified name

NullPointerException - if the argument is null

isTailable

public abstract boolean isTailable()

True if the cursor type is tailable.

Returns:

true if the cursor type is tailable
