- extractKeys
Extracts the key fields from a record. This is for use by the PairComparator to
provide interoperabi
- compare
Compares two records in object form. The return value indicates the order of the
two in the same way
- compareToReference
This method compares the element that has been set as reference in this type
accessor, to the elemen
- duplicate
Creates a copy of this class. The copy must be deep such that no state set in
the copy affects this
- equalToReference
Checks, whether the given element is equal to the element that has been set as
the comparison refere
- getFlatComparators
Get the field comparators. This is used together with
#extractKeys(Object,Object[],int)to provide in
- getNormalizeKeyLen
Gets the number of bytes that the normalized key would maximally take. A value
of java.lang.Integer.
- hash
Computes a hash value for the given record. The hash value should include all
fields in the record r
- isNormalizedKeyPrefixOnly
Checks, whether the given number of bytes for a normalized is only a prefix to
determine the order o
- putNormalizedKey
Writes a normalized key for the given record into the target byte array,
starting at the specified p
- setReference
Sets the given element as the comparison reference for future calls to
#equalToReference(Object) and
- supportsNormalizedKey
Checks whether the data type supports the creation of a normalized key for
comparison.
