=== Snapshot Create RepositoryAPI

The Snapshot Create RepositoryAPI allows to register a snapshot repository.

[[java-rest-high-snapshot-create-repository-request]]
==== Snapshot Create RepositoryRequest

A `PutRepositoryRequest`:

["source","java",subs="attributes,callouts,macros"]
--------------------------------------------------
include-tagged::{doc-tests}/SnapshotClientDocumentationIT.java[create-repository-request]
--------------------------------------------------

==== Repository Settings
Settings requirements will differ based on the repository backend chosen.

["source","java",subs="attributes,callouts,macros"]
--------------------------------------------------
include-tagged::{doc-tests}/SnapshotClientDocumentationIT.java[create-repository-request-repository-settings]
--------------------------------------------------
<1> Sets the repository settings

==== Providing the Settings
The settings to be applied can be provided in different ways:

["source","java",subs="attributes,callouts,macros"]
--------------------------------------------------
include-tagged::{doc-tests}/SnapshotClientDocumentationIT.java[create-repository-create-settings]
--------------------------------------------------
<1> Settings provided as `Settings`

["source","java",subs="attributes,callouts,macros"]
--------------------------------------------------
include-tagged::{doc-tests}/SnapshotClientDocumentationIT.java[create-repository-settings-builder]
--------------------------------------------------
<1> Settings provided as `Settings.Builder`

["source","java",subs="attributes,callouts,macros"]
--------------------------------------------------
include-tagged::{doc-tests}/SnapshotClientDocumentationIT.java[create-repository-settings-source]
--------------------------------------------------
<1> Settings provided as `String`

["source","java",subs="attributes,callouts,macros"]
--------------------------------------------------
include-tagged::{doc-tests}/SnapshotClientDocumentationIT.java[create-repository-settings-map]
--------------------------------------------------
<1> Settings provided as a `Map`

==== Required Arguments
The following arguments must be provided:

["source","java",subs="attributes,callouts,macros"]
--------------------------------------------------
include-tagged::{doc-tests}/SnapshotClientDocumentationIT.java[create-repository-request-name]
--------------------------------------------------
<1> The name of the repository

["source","java",subs="attributes,callouts,macros"]
--------------------------------------------------
include-tagged::{doc-tests}/SnapshotClientDocumentationIT.java[create-repository-request-type]
--------------------------------------------------
<1> The type of the repository

==== Optional Arguments
The following arguments can optionally be provided:

["source","java",subs="attributes,callouts,macros"]
--------------------------------------------------
include-tagged::{doc-tests}/SnapshotClientDocumentationIT.java[create-repository-request-timeout]
--------------------------------------------------
<1> Timeout to wait for the all the nodes to acknowledge the settings were applied
as a `TimeValue`
<2> Timeout to wait for the all the nodes to acknowledge the settings were applied
as a `String`

["source","java",subs="attributes,callouts,macros"]
--------------------------------------------------
include-tagged::{doc-tests}/SnapshotClientDocumentationIT.java[create-repository-request-masterTimeout]
--------------------------------------------------
<1> Timeout to connect to the master node as a `TimeValue`
<2> Timeout to connect to the master node as a `String`

["source","java",subs="attributes,callouts,macros"]
--------------------------------------------------
include-tagged::{doc-tests}/SnapshotClientDocumentationIT.java[create-repository-request-verify]
--------------------------------------------------
<1> Verify after creation as a `Boolean`

[[java-rest-high-snapshot-create-repository-sync]]
==== Synchronous Execution

["source","java",subs="attributes,callouts,macros"]
--------------------------------------------------
include-tagged::{doc-tests}/SnapshotClientDocumentationIT.java[create-repository-execute]
--------------------------------------------------

[[java-rest-high-snapshot-create-repository-async]]
==== Asynchronous Execution

The asynchronous execution of a repository put settings requires both the
`PutRepositoryRequest` instance and an `ActionListener` instance to be
passed to the asynchronous method:

["source","java",subs="attributes,callouts,macros"]
--------------------------------------------------
include-tagged::{doc-tests}/SnapshotClientDocumentationIT.java[create-repository-execute-async]
--------------------------------------------------
<1> The `PutRepositoryRequest` to execute and the `ActionListener`
to use when the execution completes

The asynchronous method does not block and returns immediately. Once it is
completed the `ActionListener` is called back using the `onResponse` method
if the execution successfully completed or using the `onFailure` method if
it failed.

A typical listener for `PutRepositoryResponse` looks like:

["source","java",subs="attributes,callouts,macros"]
--------------------------------------------------
include-tagged::{doc-tests}/SnapshotClientDocumentationIT.java[create-repository-execute-listener]
--------------------------------------------------
<1> Called when the execution is successfully completed. The response is
provided as an argument
<2> Called in case of a failure. The raised exception is provided as an argument

[[java-rest-high-snapshot-create-repository-response]]
==== Snapshot Create RepositoryResponse

The returned `PutRepositoryResponse` allows to retrieve information about the
executed operation as follows:

["source","java",subs="attributes,callouts,macros"]
--------------------------------------------------
include-tagged::{doc-tests}/SnapshotClientDocumentationIT.java[create-repository-response]
--------------------------------------------------
<1> Indicates the node has acknowledged the request
