Detailed Description

The interface implemented by applications to handle error, informational and progress messages.

Entries set to NULL are ignored and the default handlers will continue to be used.

Member Data Documentation

◆ handle_close

int(* WT_EVENT_HANDLER::handle_close) (WT_EVENT_HANDLER *handler, WT_SESSION *session, WT_CURSOR *cursor)

Callback to handle automatic close of a WiredTiger handle.

Close handler returns are not ignored: if the handler returns non-zero, the error may cause the WiredTiger function posting the event to fail, and may even cause operation or library failure.

Parameters
sessionThe session handle that is being closed if the cursor parameter is NULL.
cursorThe cursor handle that is being closed, or NULL if it is a session handle being closed.

◆ handle_error

int(* WT_EVENT_HANDLER::handle_error) (WT_EVENT_HANDLER *handler, WT_SESSION *session, int error, const char *message)

Callback to handle error messages; by default, error messages are written to the stderr stream.

See Message handling using the WT_EVENT_HANDLER for more information.

Errors that require the application to exit and restart will have their error value set to WT_PANIC. The application can exit immediately when WT_PANIC is passed to an event handler, there is no reason to return into WiredTiger.

Event handler returns are not ignored: if the handler returns non-zero, the error may cause the WiredTiger function posting the event to fail, and may even cause operation or library failure.

Parameters
sessionthe WiredTiger session handle in use when the error was generated. The handle may have been created by the application or automatically by WiredTiger.
errora return value from a WiredTiger, ISO C, or POSIX standard API, which can be converted to a string using WT_SESSION::strerror
messagean error string

◆ handle_message

int(* WT_EVENT_HANDLER::handle_message) (WT_EVENT_HANDLER *handler, WT_SESSION *session, const char *message)

Callback to handle informational messages; by default, informational messages are written to the stdout stream.

See Message handling using the WT_EVENT_HANDLER for more information.

Message handler returns are not ignored: if the handler returns non-zero, the error may cause the WiredTiger function posting the event to fail, and may even cause operation or library failure.

Parameters
sessionthe WiredTiger session handle in use when the message was generated. The handle may have been created by the application or automatically by WiredTiger.
messagean informational string

◆ handle_progress

int(* WT_EVENT_HANDLER::handle_progress) (WT_EVENT_HANDLER *handler, WT_SESSION *session, const char *operation, uint64_t progress)

Callback to handle progress messages; by default, progress messages are not written.

See Message handling using the WT_EVENT_HANDLER for more information.

Progress handler returns are not ignored: if the handler returns non-zero, the error may cause the WiredTiger function posting the event to fail, and may even cause operation or library failure.

Parameters
sessionthe WiredTiger session handle in use when the progress message was generated. The handle may have been created by the application or automatically by WiredTiger.
operationa string representation of the operation
progressa counter
