Interface ByteComparable

All Known Subinterfaces:

PartitionPosition, PrimaryKey

All Known Implementing Classes:

BufferDecoratedKey, CachedHashDecoratedKey, DecoratedKey, NativeDecoratedKey, PreHashedDecoratedKey, Token.KeyBound

public interface ByteComparable

Interface indicating a value can be represented/identified by a comparable ByteSource. All Cassandra types that can be used as part of a primary key have a corresponding byte-comparable translation, detailed in ByteComparable.md. Byte-comparable representations are used in some memtable as well as primary and secondary index implementations.

Field Details

EMPTY

static final ByteComparable EMPTY

Method Details

asComparableBytes

ByteSource asComparableBytes(ByteComparable.Version version)

Returns a source that generates the byte-comparable representation of the value byte by byte.

byteComparableAsString

default String byteComparableAsString(ByteComparable.Version version)

Construct a human-readable string from the byte-comparable representation. Used for debugging.

of

static ByteComparable of(String s)

of

static ByteComparable of(long value)

of

static ByteComparable of(int value)

fixedLength

static ByteComparable fixedLength(ByteBuffer bytes)

fixedLength

static ByteComparable fixedLength(byte[] bytes)

fixedLength

static ByteComparable fixedLength(byte[] bytes,
 int offset,
 int len)

separatorPrefix

static ByteComparable separatorPrefix(ByteComparable prevMax,
 ByteComparable currMin)

Returns a separator for two byte sources, i.e. something that is definitely > prevMax, and <= currMin, assuming prevMax < currMin. This returns the shortest prefix of currMin that is greater than prevMax.

separatorGt

static ByteComparable separatorGt(ByteComparable prevMax,
 ByteComparable currMin)

Returns a separator for two byte comparable, i.e. something that is definitely > prevMax, and <= currMin, assuming prevMax < currMin. This is a stream of length 1 longer than the common prefix of the two streams, with last byte one higher than the prevMax stream.

cut

static ByteComparable cut(ByteComparable src,
 int cutoff)

length

static int length(ByteComparable src,
 ByteComparable.Version version)

Return the length of a byte comparable, not including the terminator byte.

compare

static int compare(ByteComparable bytes1,
 ByteComparable bytes2,
 ByteComparable.Version version)

Compare two byte-comparable values by their byte-comparable representation. Used for tests.

Returns:

the result of the lexicographic unsigned byte comparison of the byte-comparable representations of the two arguments

diffPoint

static int diffPoint(ByteComparable bytes1,
 ByteComparable bytes2,
 ByteComparable.Version version)

Returns the length of the minimum prefix that differentiates the two given byte-comparable representations.
