# DistributedImmutableMap

`class DistributedImmutableMap<K : Any, V : Any>`

A distributed map state machine that doesnt allow overriding values. The state machine is replicated across a Copycat Raft cluster.

The map contents are backed by a JDBC table. State re-synchronisation is achieved by periodically persisting snapshots to disk, and sharing them across the cluster. A new node joining the cluster will have to obtain and install a snapshot containing the entire JDBC table contents.

### Types

Commands | `object Commands`

### Constructors

<init> | `DistributedImmutableMap(db: <ERROR CLASS>, tableName: String)` A distributed map state machine that doesnt allow overriding values. The state machine is replicated across a Copycat Raft cluster.

### Properties

db | `val db: <ERROR CLASS>`

### Functions

get | `fun get(commit: <ERROR CLASS><Get<K, V>>): V?` Gets a value for the given Commands.Get.key
install | `fun install(reader: <ERROR CLASS>): Unit` Reads entries from disk and adds them to map.
put | `fun put(commit: <ERROR CLASS><PutAll<K, V>>): Map<K, V>` Stores the given Commands.PutAll.entries if no entry key already exists.
size | `fun size(commit: <ERROR CLASS><Size>): Int`
snapshot | `fun snapshot(writer: <ERROR CLASS>): Unit` Writes out all map entries to disk. Note that this operation does not load all entries into memory, as the SnapshotWriter is using a disk-backed buffer internally, and iterating map entries results in only a fixed number of recently accessed entries to ever be kept in memory.
