Class FastRDFValueCoder2

java.lang.Object

com.bigdata.rdf.spo.FastRDFValueCoder2

All Implemented Interfaces:

IRabaCoder, Externalizable, Serializable

public class FastRDFValueCoder2
extends Object
implements Externalizable, IRabaCoder

Coder for values in statement index with inference enabled but without SIDS. We encode the value in 4 bits per statement. The 1st bit is the override flag. The remaining next two bits are the statement type {inferred, explicit, or axiom}. The last bit is not used. The bit sequence 0111 is used as a place holder for a null value and de-serializes to a [null]. This is just the low nibble of the StatementEnum.code(). This "nibble" encoding makes it fast and easy to extract the value from the coded record. The first value is stored in the low nibble, the next in the high nibble, then it is on to the low nibble of the next byte.

Note: the 'override' flag is NOT stored in the statement indices, but it is passed by the procedure that writes on the statement indices so that we can decide whether or not to override the type when the statement is pre-existing in the index.

Note: this procedure can not be used if AbstractTripleStore.Options#STATEMENT_IDENTIFIERS are enabled.

encode

public AbstractFixedByteArrayBuffer encode(IRaba raba,
                                  DataOutputBuffer buf)

Description copied from interface: IRabaCoder

Encode the data.

Note: Implementations of this method are typically heavy. While it is always valid to IRabaCoder.encode(IRaba, DataOutputBuffer) an IRaba , DO NOT invoke this arbitrarily on data which may already be coded. The ICodedRaba interface will always be implemented for coded data.

Specified by:

encode in interface IRabaCoder

Parameters:

raba - The data.

buf - A buffer on which the coded data will be written.

Returns:

A slice onto the post-condition state of the caller's buffer whose view corresponds to the coded record. This may be written directly onto an output stream or the slice may be converted to an exact fit byte[].

encodeLive

public ICodedRaba encodeLive(IRaba raba,
                    DataOutputBuffer buf)

Description copied from interface: IRabaCoder

Encode the data, returning an ICodedRaba. Implementations of this method should be optimized for the very common use case where the caller requires immediate access to the coded data record. In that case, many of the IRabaCoder implementations can be optimized by passing the underlying decoding object directly into an alternative constructor for the ICodedRaba. The byte[] slice for the coded data record is available from ICodedRaba.data().

This method covers the vast major of the use cases for coding data, which is to code B+Tree keys or values for a node or leaf that has been evicted from the AbstractBTree's write retention queue. The common use case is to wrap a coded record that was read from an IRawStore. The IndexSegmentBuilder is a special case, since the coded record will not be used other than to write it on the disk.

Specified by:

encodeLive in interface IRabaCoder

decode

public ICodedRaba decode(AbstractFixedByteArrayBuffer data)

Description copied from interface: IRabaCoder

Return an IRaba which can access the coded data. In general, implementations SHOULD NOT materialize a backing byte[][]. Instead, the implementation should access the data in place within the caller's buffer. Frequently used fields MAY be cached, but the whole point of the IRabaCoder is to minimize the in-memory footprint for the B+Tree by using a coded (aka compressed) representation of the keys and values whenever possible.

Specified by:

decode in interface IRabaCoder

Parameters:

data - The record containing the coded data.

Returns:

A view of the coded data.
