Method Detail

compare

int compare(T a,
            T b)

Compare two keys.

Specified by:

compare in interface java.util.Comparator<T>

Parameters:

a - the first key

b - the second key

Returns:

-1 if the first key is smaller, 1 if larger, and 0 if equal

Throws:

java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException - if the type is not orderable

binarySearch

int binarySearch(T key,
                 java.lang.Object storage,
                 int size,
                 int initialGuess)

Perform binary search for the key within the storage

Parameters:

key - to search for

storage - to search within (an array of type T)

size - number of data items in the storage

initialGuess - for key position

Returns:

index of the key , if found, - index of the insertion point, if not

getMemory

int getMemory(T obj)

Calculates the amount of used memory in bytes.

Parameters:

obj - the object

Returns:

the used memory

isMemoryEstimationAllowed

boolean isMemoryEstimationAllowed()

Whether memory estimation based on previously seen values is allowed/desirable

Returns:

true if memory estimation is allowed

write

void write(WriteBuffer buff,
           T obj)

Write an object.

Parameters:

buff - the target buffer

obj - the value

write

void write(WriteBuffer buff,
           java.lang.Object storage,
           int len)

Write a list of objects.

Parameters:

buff - the target buffer

storage - the objects

len - the number of objects to write

read

T read(java.nio.ByteBuffer buff)

Read an object.

Parameters:

buff - the source buffer

Returns:

the object

read

void read(java.nio.ByteBuffer buff,
          java.lang.Object storage,
          int len)

Read a list of objects.

Parameters:

buff - the target buffer

storage - the objects

len - the number of objects to read

createStorage

T[] createStorage(int size)

Create storage object of array type to hold values

Parameters:

size - number of values to hold

Returns:

storage object
