Interface TimeService

public interface TimeService

This interface defines a contract that enables users to provide custom implementations of time used by StreamBase server It must be implemented by all Time Service classes.

Since:

7.4

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
void	advanceBy(long timeAdvance, TimeUnit timeUnit) Advances the service time by a certain number of time units in the future.
void	advanceTo(long targetTimeMsec) Make the service advance to a specific time in the future
Timestamp	getFutureTimestamp(long targetAdvance, TimeUnit timeUnit) Get the time stamp of a time point based on the specific time advance
long	getTargetTime() Get the current time in milliseconds from the perspective of this time service

Method Detail

getTargetTime

long getTargetTime()

Get the current time in milliseconds from the perspective of this time service

advanceBy

void advanceBy(long timeAdvance,
               TimeUnit timeUnit)
        throws StreamBaseException

Advances the service time by a certain number of time units in the future.

Parameters:

timeAdvance - number of time units that the service should advance by. It should be a positive long value

timeUnit - time unit

advanceTo

void advanceTo(long targetTimeMsec)
        throws StreamBaseException

Make the service advance to a specific time in the future

Parameters:

targetTimeMsec - Time to advance to. It must be greater than the service's current time

Throws:

StreamBaseException

getFutureTimestamp

Timestamp getFutureTimestamp(long targetAdvance,
                             TimeUnit timeUnit)

Get the time stamp of a time point based on the specific time advance

Parameters:

targetAdvance - time difference (in time units) between the future time point and the service's current time It must be 0 or a positive value

timeUnit - time unit
