Class DatastoreServiceConfig

    java.lang.Object
      com.google.appengine.api.datastore.DatastoreServiceConfig

    public final class DatastoreServiceConfig

extends java.lang.Object

User-configurable properties of the datastore. Notes on usage:
The recommended way to instantiate a `DatastoreServiceConfig` object is to statically import `DatastoreServiceConfig.Builder`.* and invoke a static creation method followed by an instance mutator (if needed):

     import static com.google.appengine.api.datastore.DatastoreServiceConfig.Builder.*;
     import com.google.appengine.api.datastore.ReadPolicy.Consistency;

     ...

     // eventually consistent reads
     DatastoreServiceConfig config = withReadPolicy(new ReadPolicy(Consistency.EVENTUAL));

     // eventually consistent reads with a 5 second deadline
     DatastoreServiceConfig config =
       withReadPolicy(new ReadPolicy(Consistency.EVENTUAL)).deadline(5.0);

Method Detail

### implicitTransactionManagementPolicy

    public DatastoreServiceConfig implicitTransactionManagementPolicy(ImplicitTransactionManagementPolicy p)

  Sets the implicit transaction management policy.

  Parameters:
    `p` - the implicit transaction management policy to set.
  Returns:
    `this` (for chaining)

### readPolicy

    public DatastoreServiceConfig readPolicy(ReadPolicy readPolicy)

  Sets the read policy.

  Parameters:
    `readPolicy` - the read policy to set.
  Returns:
    `this` (for chaining)

### deadline

    public DatastoreServiceConfig deadline(double deadline)

  Sets the deadline, in seconds, for all rpcs initiated by the `DatastoreService` with which this config is associated.

  Parameters:
    `deadline` - the deadline to set.
  Returns:
    `this` (for chaining)
  Throws:
    `java.lang.IllegalArgumentException` - if deadline is not positive

### maxEntityGroupsPerRpc

    public DatastoreServiceConfig maxEntityGroupsPerRpc(int maxEntityGroupsPerRpc)

  Sets the maximum number of entity groups that can be represented in a single rpc. For a non-transactional operation that involves more entity groups than the maximum, the operation will be performed by executing multiple, asynchronous rpcs to the datastore, each of which has no more entity groups represented than the maximum. So, if a put() operation has 8 entity groups and the maximum is 3, we will send 3 rpcs, 2 with 3 entity groups and 1 with 2 entity groups. This is a performance optimization - in many cases multiple, small, asynchronous rpcs will finish faster than a single large asynchronous rpc. The optimal value for this property will be application-specific, so experimentation is encouraged.

  Parameters:
    `maxEntityGroupsPerRpc` - the maximum number of entity groups per rpc
  Returns:
    `this` (for chaining)
  Throws:
    `java.lang.IllegalArgumentException` - if maxEntityGroupsPerRpc is not greater than zero

### getImplicitTransactionManagementPolicy

    public ImplicitTransactionManagementPolicy getImplicitTransactionManagementPolicy()

  Returns:
    The `ImplicitTransactionManagementPolicy` to use.

### getReadPolicy

    public ReadPolicy getReadPolicy()

  Returns:
    The `ReadPolicy` to use.

### getMaxEntityGroupsPerRpc

    public java.lang.Integer getMaxEntityGroupsPerRpc()

  Returns:
    The maximum number of entity groups per rpc.

### getDeadline

    public java.lang.Double getDeadline()

  Returns:
    The deadline to use. Can be `null`.
