Thank you Joe and Koji for taking a look at this. I struggled with
deciding whether to provide a default UnsupportedOperationException or to
provide the new methods in the various DistributedMapCacheClient
implementations. I will happily change this PR to go with the
UnsupportedOperationException route. Give me a little time to make the changes
and force push, but it should be a much smaller PR and easier to review.
I agree that a keySet method could become problematic in a distributed Map
environment. However I believe it's important to provide as much of the Java
Map interface in the distributed Map as we can, and let the implementer beware
of the potential problems. I do know some folks who have extended
DistributedMapCacheClient with their own implementations, and I would like the
keySet method to exist to support them.
> SimpleMapCache/PersistentMapCache: Add removeAndGet and removeByPatternAndGet

> Key: NIFI-4504
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-4504
> Project: Apache NiFi
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 1.4.0
> Reporter: Jon Kessler
> Assignee: Michael Moser
> Priority: Minor
>
> Typical map implementations return the value that was removed when performing
> a remove. Because you couldn't update the existing remove methods without it
> being a breaking change I suggest adding new versions of the remove and
> removeByPattern methods that return the removed value(s).
> These changes should also be applied up the chain to any class that makes use
> of these classes such as the MapCacheServer and
> AtomicDistributedMapCacheClient.
