BuildDiscarder (Jenkins core 2.401.3 API)

java.lang.Object
- hudson.model.AbstractDescribableImpl<BuildDiscarder>
- - jenkins.model.BuildDiscarder

All Implemented Interfaces:

ExtensionPoint, Describable<BuildDiscarder>

Direct Known Subclasses:

LogRotator
```
public abstract class BuildDiscarder
extends AbstractDescribableImpl<BuildDiscarder>
implements ExtensionPoint
```
Implementation of "Discard old build records" feature.
This extension point allows plugins to implement a different strategy to decide what builds to discard and what builds to keep.

1.503

Nested Classes
Modifier and Type	Class	Description
`static class`	`BuildDiscarder.ConverterImpl`	`Job.logRotator` used to be typed as `LogRotator`, so such configuration file ends up trying to unmarshal `BuildDiscarder` and not its subtype.

  - perform
```
public abstract void perform(Job<?,?> job)
                      throws IOException,
                             InterruptedException
```
    Called to perform "garbage collection" on the job to discard old build records.
    Normally invoked automatically jobs when new builds occur. The general expectation is that those marked as Run.isKeepLog() will be kept untouched. To delete the build record, call Run.delete().
    
    Throws:
    
    IOException
    
    InterruptedException

public BuildDiscarderDescriptor getDescriptor()
```
    Description copied from class: AbstractDescribableImpl
    
    By default looks for a nested class (conventionally named DescriptorImpl) implementing Descriptor and marked with Extension.
    Gets the descriptor for this instance.
    Descriptor is a singleton for every concrete Describable implementation, so if a.getClass() == b.getClass() then by default a.getDescriptor() == b.getDescriptor() as well. (In rare cases a single implementation class may be used for instances with distinct descriptors.)
    
    Specified by:
