Class Publication

java.lang.Object

io.aeron.Publication

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.lang.AutoCloseable

Direct Known Subclasses:

ConcurrentPublication, ExclusivePublication

public abstract class Publication
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.lang.AutoCloseable

Aeron publisher API for sending messages to subscribers of a given channel and streamId pair. Publications are created via the Aeron.addPublication(String, int) Aeron.addExclusivePublication(String, int) methods, and messages are sent via one of the offer(DirectBuffer) methods.

The APIs used for tryClaim and offer are non-blocking.

Note: All methods are threadsafe with the exception of offer and tryClaim for the subclass ExclusivePublication. In the case of ConcurrentPublication all methods are threadsafe.

tryClaim

public abstract long tryClaim(int length,
                              BufferClaim bufferClaim)

Try to claim a range in the publication log into which a message can be written with zero copy semantics. Once the message has been written then BufferClaim.commit() should be called thus making it available.

Note: This method can only be used for message lengths less than MTU length minus header. If the claim is held for more than the aeron.publication.unblock.timeout system property then the driver will assume the publication thread is dead and will unblock the claim thus allowing other threads to make progress for ConcurrentPublication and other claims to be sent to reach end-of-stream (EOS).

     final BufferClaim bufferClaim = new BufferClaim(); // Can be stored and reused to avoid allocation

     if (publication.tryClaim(messageLength, bufferClaim) > 0L)
     {
         try
         {
              final MutableDirectBuffer buffer = bufferClaim.buffer();
              final int offset = bufferClaim.offset();

              // Work with buffer directly or wrap with a flyweight
         }
         finally
         {
             bufferClaim.commit();
         }
     }
 

Parameters:

length - of the range to claim, in bytes..

bufferClaim - to be populated if the claim succeeds.

Returns:

The new stream position, otherwise a negative error value of NOT_CONNECTED, BACK_PRESSURED, ADMIN_ACTION, CLOSED, or MAX_POSITION_EXCEEDED.

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the length is greater than maxPayloadLength() within an MTU.
