org.infinispan.atomic
Interface DeltaAware

All Known Implementing Classes:

AtomicHashMap

public interface DeltaAware

This interface allows the extraction of deltas.

Implementations would be closely coupled to a corresponding Delta implementation, since org.infinispan.atomic.Delta#instantiate() would need to know how to recreate this instance of DeltaAware if needed.

Since:

4.0
