Class RegularColumnIndex

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

public class RegularColumnIndex extends CassandraIndex
Index on a REGULAR column definition on a composite type. A cell indexed by this index will have the general form: ck_0 ... ck_n c_name : v where ck_i are the cluster keys, c_name the last component of the cell composite name (or second to last if collections are in use, but this has no impact) and v the cell value. Such a cell is indexed if c_name == columnDef.name, and it will generate (makeIndexColumnName()) an index entry whose: - row key will be the value v (getIndexedValue()). - cell name will rk ck_0 ... ck_n where rk is the row key of the initial cell. I.e. the index entry store all the information require to locate back the indexed cell.

    • 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:
    • 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
