Interface ITopicUpdate

The feature that provides a client session with the ability to update topics.

Inherited Members
Namespace: PushTechnology.ClientInterface.Client.Features
Assembly: Diffusion.Client.dll
Syntax
public interface ITopicUpdate : IFeature
Remarks

A session does not have to be subscribed to a topic to update it.

Topics can be set to new values using stateless SetAsync<TValue>(String, TValue) operations or an IUpdateStream<TValue>. Both ensure that new values are applied safely to appropriate topics.

Additionally, JSON topics can be updated with a JSON Patch (ApplyJSONPatchAsync(String, String)). A patch is a list of operations that modifies a JSON value, removing the need to supply a complete new value. This is useful if the source of the updates doesn't provide values. For one-off, small changes to large JSON values, it can be significantly cheaper to apply a patch than to use SetAsync<TValue>(String, TValue) to provide the complete value.

Update streams

An update stream is created for a specific topic. An UpdateStreamBuilder can be obtained using NewUpdateStreamBuilder(). The type of the topic must match the type of values passed to the update stream. An update stream can be used to send any number of updates. It sends a sequence of updates for a specific topic to the server. If supported by the data type, updates will be sent to the server as a stream of binary deltas.

Update streams have additional ways of failing compared to stateless set operations but when used repeatedly have lower overheads. This is because update streams maintain a small amount of state that reduces the overhead of operations but can become invalid for example, if the topic is deleted, or some other session updates the topic value.

By default, update streams use a form of optimistic locking. An update stream can update its topic incrementally as long as nothing else updates the topic. If the topic is updated independently (for example, by another session, or by the current session via set or a different update stream), then the next update performed by the update stream will result in an InvalidUpdateStreamException.

Applications can choose to use collaborative locking to coordinate exclusive access to a topic. To follow this pattern acquire a ISessionLock, and use it with a Locked(ISessionLock). The application is responsible for designing a locking scheme which determines which lock is required to access a particular topic, and for ensuring that all parts of the application that update the topic follow this scheme. Lock constraints and an application locking scheme can also ensure a sequence of set operations has exclusive access to the topic.

Removing values

When a topic of type STRING, INT64, or DOUBLE is set to null, the topic will be updated to have no value. If a previous value was present subscribers will receive a notification that the new value is null. New subscribers will not receive a value notification. Attempting to set any other type of topic to null will cause a ArgumentNullException to be thrown.

Adding topics

When setting a value using either stateless operations or update streams it is possible to add a topic if one is not present.This is done using the ApplyJSONPatchAsync(String, String) methods or providing a topic specification when creating the update stream. If a topic exists these methods will update the existing topic.

Time series topics

All methods provided by this feature are compatible with time series topics except for ApplyJSONPatchAsync(String, String). The ITimeSeries feature can be used to update time series topics with custom metadata and provides query capabilities.

Access control

To update a topic a session needs UPDATE_TOPIC permission for the topic path. To create a topic a session needs MODIFY_TOPIC permission for the topic. Requests that combine adding a topic and setting the value such as AddAndSetAsync<TValue>(String, ITopicSpecification, TValue) require both permissions.

Accessing the feature

This feature may be obtained from an ISession as follows: 

var topicUpdate = session.TopicUpdate;

This feature is also extended by the ITopics feature. This means it is possible to use the methods described here through the ITopics feature.

Added in version 6.2.

Methods

AddAndSetAsync<TValue>(String, ITopicSpecification, TValue)

Adds the topic if it does not exist and sets it to a specified value.

Declaration
Task<TopicCreationResult> AddAndSetAsync<TValue>(string path, ITopicSpecification specification, TValue value)
Parameters
Type Name Description
System.String path

The path of the topic.
ITopicSpecification specification

TValue value

The value.
Returns
Type Description
Task<TopicCreationResult>

Type Parameters
Name Description
TValue

The value type.
Remarks

If the task completes successfully, the Task result will be CREATED if the topic has been created, or EXISTS if the topic already exists.

If a topic does not exist at the path, one will be created using the specification. If a topic does exist, its specification must match specification, otherwise the operation will fail with IncompatibleTopicException.

The null value can only be passed to the value parameter when updating STRING, INT64, or DOUBLE topics.

When any of the previously mentioned topics is set to null, the topic will be updated to have no value. If a previous value was present subscribers will receive a notification that the new value is null. New subscribers will not receive a value notification.

ApplyJSONPatchAsync(String, String, IUpdateConstraint, CancellationToken)

Applies a JSON Patch to a JSON topic.

Declaration
Task<IJSONPatchResult> ApplyJSONPatchAsync(string path, string patch, IUpdateConstraint constraint, CancellationToken cancellationToken)
Parameters
Type Name Description
System.String path

The path of the topic to patch.
System.String patch

The JSON patch.
IUpdateConstraint constraint

The constraint that must be satisfied for the patch to be applied.
CancellationToken cancellationToken

The cancellation token used to cancel the current operation.
Returns
Type Description
Task<IJSONPatchResult>

The Task representing the current operation.
Remarks

If the operation completes successfully, the Task result will be a IJSONPatchResult.

The constraint must be satisfied for the update to be applied.

The patch argument should be formatted according to the JSON Patch standard (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6902).

Patches are a sequence of JSON Patch operations contained in an array. They are applied as an atomic update to the previous value if the resulting update is successfully calculated. The following patch will check the value at a specific key and update if the expected value is correct: 

[{"op": "test", "path": "/price", "value": 22},
{"op": "add", "path": "/price", "value": 23}]

The available operations are:

  • Add: {"op": "add", "path": "/a/b/c", "value": ["foo", "bar"]}
  • Remove: {"op": "remove", "path": "/a/b/c"}
  • Replace: {"op": "replace", "path": "/a/b/c", "value": 43}
  • Move: {"op": "move", "from": "/a/b/c", "path": "/a/b/d"}
  • Copy: {"op": "copy", "from": "/a/b/c", "path": "/a/b/e"}
  • Test: {"op": "test", "path": "/a/b/c", "value": "foo"}

The test operation checks that the CBOR representation of the value of a topic is identical to the value provided in the patch after converting it to CBOR. If the value is represented differently as CBOR, commonly due to different key ordering, then the patch will return the index of the failed operation, e.g. the values {"foo": "bar", "count": 43} and {"count": 43, "foo": "bar"} are unequal despite semantic equality due to the differences in a byte for byte comparison.

Exceptions
Type Condition
