com.exonum.binding.core.storage.database.View

Direct Known Subclasses:

Fork, Snapshot

public abstract class View
extends AbstractNativeProxy

Represents a view of the database.

There are two sub-types:

• A snapshot, which is a read-only and immutable view.
• A fork, which is a read-write view.

As in some cases the clients need to detect any changes made to a database, a view also holds a modification counter, which any clients changing the database state must notify.
