Class PartitionLocator

java.lang.Object

com.bigdata.mdi.PartitionLocator

All Implemented Interfaces:

IPartitionMetadata, ISeparatorKeys, Externalizable, Serializable

public class PartitionLocator
extends Object
implements IPartitionMetadata, Externalizable

An immutable object that may be used to locate an index partition. Instances of this class are stored as the values in the MetadataIndex.

Note: The ISeparatorKeys.getLeftSeparatorKey() is always equal to the key under which the PartitionLocator is stored in the metadata index. Likewise, the ISeparatorKeys.getRightSeparatorKey() is always equal to the key under which the successor of the index entry is stored (or null iff there is no successor). However, the left and right separator keys are stored explicitly in the values of the metadata index because it greatly simplifies client operations. While the left separator key is directly obtainable from the key under which the locator was stored, the right separator key is much more difficult to obtain in the various contexts within which the ClientIndexView requires that information.

Constructor Detail

PartitionLocator

public PartitionLocator()

De-serialization constructor.

PartitionLocator

public PartitionLocator(int partitionId,
                UUID logicalDataServiceUUID,
                byte[] leftSeparatorKey,
                byte[] rightSeparatorKey)

Parameters:

partitionId - The unique partition identifier assigned by the MetadataIndex.

logicalDataServiceUUID - The ordered array of data service identifiers on which data for this partition will be written and from which data for this partition may be read.

leftSeparatorKey - The separator key that defines the left edge of that index partition (always defined) - this is the first key that can enter the index partition. The left-most separator key for a scale-out index is always an empty byte[] since that is the smallest key that may be defined.

rightSeparatorKey - The separator key that defines the right edge of that index partition or null iff the index partition does not have a right sibling (a null has the semantics of having no upper bound).

Method Detail

getPartitionId

public final int getPartitionId()

Description copied from interface: IPartitionMetadata

The unique partition identifier.

Specified by:

getPartitionId in interface IPartitionMetadata

getDataServiceUUID

public UUID getDataServiceUUID()

The UUID of the (logical) data service on which the index partition resides.

getLeftSeparatorKey

public final byte[] getLeftSeparatorKey()

Description copied from interface: ISeparatorKeys

The separator key that defines the left edge of that index partition (always defined) - this is the first key that can enter the index partition. The left-most separator key for a scale-out index is always an empty byte[] since that is the smallest key that may be defined.

Specified by:

getLeftSeparatorKey in interface ISeparatorKeys

getRightSeparatorKey

public final byte[] getRightSeparatorKey()

Description copied from interface: ISeparatorKeys

The separator key that defines the right edge of that index partition or null iff the index partition does not have a right sibling (a null has the semantics of having no upper bound).

Specified by:

getRightSeparatorKey in interface ISeparatorKeys

hashCode
