Interface FunctionContext<T1>

All Known Subinterfaces:
RegionFunctionContext

public interface FunctionContext<T1>
Defines the execution context of a Function. It is required by the Function.execute(FunctionContext) to execute a Function on a particular member.

A context can be data dependent or data independent. For data dependent functions refer to RegionFunctionContext

This interface is implemented by GemFire. Instances of it will be passed in to Function.execute(FunctionContext).

    Method
    Description
    Returns the arguments provided to this function execution.
     
    Returns the identifier of the function.
    default String
    a convenience method to get the name of the member this function executes on.
    If available, returns the principal that has been authenticated to execute this function.
    <T2> ResultSender<T2>
    Returns the ResultSender which is used to add the ability for an execute method to send a single result back, or break its result into multiple pieces and send each piece back to the calling thread's ResultCollector.
    boolean
    Returns a boolean to identify whether this is a re-execute.

      Returns:

    • getResultSender

      <T2> ResultSender<T2> getResultSender()
      Returns the ResultSender which is used to add the ability for an execute method to send a single result back, or break its result into multiple pieces and send each piece back to the calling thread's ResultCollector. The returned ResultSender is only valid for the duration of the function call. If the Function needs to return a result, the result should be sent before the function exits.
      Type Parameters:
      T2 - the type handled by the returned ResultSender
      Returns:
      the ResultSender associated with this FunctionContext
