Class CollectionValueIndex

java.lang.Object
org.apache.cassandra.index.internal.CassandraIndex
org.apache.cassandra.index.internal.composites.CollectionValueIndex
All Implemented Interfaces:
Index

public class CollectionValueIndex extends CassandraIndex
Index the value of a collection cell. This is a lot like an index on REGULAR, except that we also need to make the collection key part of the index entry so that: 1) we don't have to scan the whole collection at query time to know the entry is stale and if it still satisfies the query. 2) if a collection has multiple time the same value, we need one entry for each so that if we delete one of the value only we only delete the entry corresponding to that value.

    • getIndexedValue

      public ByteBuffer getIndexedValue(ByteBuffer partitionKey, Clustering<?> clustering, CellPath path, ByteBuffer cellValue)
      Description copied from class: CassandraIndex
      Extract the value to be inserted into the index from the components of the base data
      Specified by:
      getIndexedValue in class CassandraIndex
      Parameters:
      partitionKey - from the primary data
      clustering - from the primary data
      path - from the primary data
      cellValue - from the primary data
      Returns:
      a ByteBuffer containing the value to be inserted in the index. This will be used to make the partition key in the index table
    • buildIndexClusteringPrefix

      public <T> CBuilder buildIndexClusteringPrefix(ByteBuffer partitionKey, ClusteringPrefix<T> prefix, CellPath path)
      Description copied from class: CassandraIndex
      Used to construct an the clustering for an entry in the index table based on values from the base data. The clustering columns in the index table encode the values required to retrieve the correct data from the base table and varies depending on the kind of the indexed column. See indexCfsMetadata for more details Used whenever a row in the index table is written or deleted.
      Specified by:
      buildIndexClusteringPrefix in class CassandraIndex
      Parameters:
      partitionKey - from the base data being indexed
      prefix - from the base data being indexed
      path - from the base data being indexed
      Returns:
      a clustering prefix to be used to insert into the index table
    • decodeEntry

      public IndexEntry decodeEntry(DecoratedKey indexedValue, Row indexEntry)
      Description copied from class: CassandraIndex
      Used at search time to convert a row in the index table into a simple struct containing the values required to retrieve the corresponding row from the base table.
      Specified by:
      decodeEntry in class CassandraIndex
      Parameters:
      indexedValue - the partition key of the indexed table (i.e. the value that was indexed)
      indexEntry - a row from the index table
      Returns:
    • supportsOperator

      public boolean supportsOperator(ColumnMetadata indexedColumn, Operator operator)
      Description copied from class: CassandraIndex
      Returns true if an index of this type can support search predicates of the form [column] OPERATOR [value]
      Overrides:
      supportsOperator in class CassandraIndex
      Returns:
    • isStale

      public boolean isStale(Row data, ByteBuffer indexValue, long nowInSec)
      Description copied from class: CassandraIndex
      Check whether a value retrieved from an index is still valid by comparing it to current row from the base table. Used at read time to identify out of date index entries so that they can be excluded from search results and repaired
      Specified by:
      isStale in class CassandraIndex
      Parameters:
      data - the current row from the primary data table
      indexValue - the value we retrieved from the index
      Returns:
      true if the index is out of date and the entry should be dropped
