Interface ChangeLogSearchEngine

public interface ChangeLogSearchEngine

A custom search engine designed for optimized searching across ChangeLogEvents within the ChangeLogStore. The following lookup and search operations are provided:

• lookup change by revision
• lookup change by date
• find all changes
• find all changes before or after a revision
• find all changes in a revision range
• find changes by LDAP namespace scope on DN
• find changes by DN
• find changes by principal
• find changes by change type
• find changes by attribute
• find changes using a restricted LDAP filter on all of the above factors

Note change lookups by date can be conducted by first looking up a revision using a generalizedTime descriptor to find a revision. Then these revisions can be plugged into the revision based find and lookup methods.

Method Detail

lookup

long lookup(java.lang.String generalizedTime)
            throws java.lang.Exception

Looks up the revision in effect at some time specified by a generalized time descriptor.

Parameters:

generalizedTime - the generalized time descriptor to find the effective revision for

Returns:

the revision that was in effect at a certain time

Throws:

java.lang.Exception - if there are failures accessing the store

lookup

ChangeLogEvent lookup(long revision)
                      throws java.lang.Exception

Looks up the ChangeLogEvent for a revision.

Parameters:

revision - to get a ChangeLogEvent for

Returns:

the ChangeLogEvent associated with the revision

Throws:

java.lang.Exception - if there are failures accessing the store

find

Finds the ChangeLogEvents that occurred before a revision inclusive.

Parameters:
