Detailed Description

Utility class to fetch latest version of the segmented data.

SegmentFetcher assumes that the data is named /<prefix>/<version>/<segment>, where:

  • <prefix> is the specified prefix,
  • <version> is an unknown version that needs to be discovered, and
  • <segment> is a segment number (number of segments is unknown and is controlled by FinalBlockId field in at least the last Data packet

The following logic is implemented in SegmentFetcher:

  1. Express first interest to discover version:

Interest: /<prefix>?ChildSelector=1&MustBeFresh=yes

  1. Infer the latest version of Data: <version> = Data.getName().get(-2)
  2. If segment number in the retrieved packet == 0, go to step 5.
  3. Send Interest for segment 0:

Interest: /<prefix>/<version>/<segment=0>

  1. Keep sending Interests for the next segment while the retrieved Data does not have FinalBlockId or FinalBlockId != Data.getName().get(-1).

Interest: /<prefix>/<version>/<segment=(N+1))>

  1. Fire onCompletion callback with memory block that combines content part from all segmented objects.

If an error occurs during the fetching process, an error callback is fired with a proper error code. The following errors are possible:

  • INTEREST_TIMEOUT: if any of the Interests times out
  • DATA_HAS_NO_SEGMENT: if any of the retrieved Data packets don't have segment as a last component of the name (not counting implicit digest)
  • SEGMENT_VALIDATION_FAIL: if any retrieved segment fails user-provided validation

In order to validate individual segments, a Validator instance needs to be specified. If the segment validation is successful, afterValidationSuccess callback is fired, otherwise afterValidationFailure callback.

Examples:

void
afterFetchComplete(const ConstBufferPtr& data)
{
  ...
}

void
afterFetchError(uint32_t errorCode, const std::string& errorMsg)
{
  ...
}

...
SegmentFetcher::fetch(face, Interest("/data/prefix", time::seconds(1000)),
                      validator,
                      bind(&afterFetchComplete, this, _1),
                      bind(&afterFetchError, this, _1, _2));

Member Function Documentation

void ndn::util::SegmentFetcher::fetch ( Face face,
const Interest baseInterest,
security::v2::Validator validator,
const CompleteCallback completeCallback,
const ErrorCallback errorCallback 
)
static

Initiate segment fetching.

Parameters
faceReference to the Face that should be used to fetch data
baseInterestAn Interest for the initial segment of requested data. This interest may include custom InterestLifetime and selectors that will propagate to all subsequent Interests. The only exception is that the initial Interest will be forced to include "ChildSelector=rightmost" and "MustBeFresh=true" selectors, which will be turned off in subsequent Interests.
validatorReference to the Validator that should be used to validate data. Caller must ensure validator is valid until either completeCallback or errorCallback is invoked.
completeCallbackCallback to be fired when all segments are fetched
errorCallbackCallback to be fired when an error occurs (

Errors)
