Class Value

java.lang.Object

org.apache.accumulo.core.data.Value

All Implemented Interfaces:

Comparable<Object>, org.apache.hadoop.io.Writable, org.apache.hadoop.io.WritableComparable<Object>

public class Value
extends Object
implements org.apache.hadoop.io.WritableComparable<Object>

A byte sequence that is usable as a key or value. Based on BytesWritable only this class is NOT resizable and DOES NOT distinguish between the size of the sequence and the current capacity as BytesWritable does. Hence it is comparatively 'immutable'.

Constructor and Description
Value() Creates a zero-size sequence.
Value(byte[] bytes) Creates a Value using a byte array as the initial value.
Value(byte[] bytes, boolean copy) Creates a Value using a byte array as the initial value.
Value(byte[] newData, int offset, int length) Creates a Value based on a range in a byte array.
Value(ByteBuffer bytes) Creates a Value using the bytes in a buffer as the initial value.
Value(ByteBuffer bytes, boolean copy) Deprecated. A copy of the bytes in the buffer is always made. Use Value(ByteBuffer) instead.
Value(Value ibw) Creates a new Value based on another.

Constructor Detail

Value

public Value()

Creates a zero-size sequence.

Value

public Value(byte[] bytes)

Creates a Value using a byte array as the initial value. The given byte array is used directly as the backing array, so later changes made to the array reflect into the new Value.

Parameters:

bytes - May not be null

Value

public Value(ByteBuffer bytes)

Creates a Value using the bytes in a buffer as the initial value. Makes a defensive copy.

Parameters:

bytes - May not be null

Value

@Deprecated
public Value(ByteBuffer bytes,
                         boolean copy)

Deprecated. A copy of the bytes in the buffer is always made. Use Value(ByteBuffer) instead.

Parameters:

bytes - bytes of value (may not be null)

copy - false to use the backing array of the buffer directly as the backing array, true to force a copy

Value

public Value(byte[] bytes,
             boolean copy)

Creates a Value using a byte array as the initial value.

Parameters:

bytes - may not be null

copy - false to use the given byte array directly as the backing array, true to force a copy

Value

public Value(Value ibw)

Creates a new Value based on another.

Parameters:

ibw - may not be null.

Value

public Value(byte[] newData,
             int offset,
             int length)

Creates a Value based on a range in a byte array. A copy of the bytes is always made.

Parameters:

newData - source of copy, may not be null

offset - the offset in newData to start with for valye bytes

length - the number of bytes in the value

Throws:

IndexOutOfBoundsException - if offset or length are invalid

Method Detail

get

public byte[] get()

Gets the byte data of this value.

Returns:

the underlying byte array directly.

set

public void set(byte[] b)

Sets the byte data of this value. The given byte array is used directly as the backing array, so later changes made to the array reflect into this Value.

Parameters:

b - may not be null

copy

public void copy(byte[] b)

Sets the byte data of this value. The given byte array is copied.

Parameters:

b - may not be null

getSize

public int getSize()

Gets the size of this value.

Returns:

size in bytes

readFields

public void readFields(DataInput in)
                throws IOException

Specified by:

readFields in interface org.apache.hadoop.io.Writable

Throws:

IOException

write

public void write(DataOutput out)
           throws IOException

Specified by:

write in interface org.apache.hadoop.io.Writable

Throws:

IOException

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

compareTo

public int compareTo(Object right_obj)

Define the sort order of the BytesWritable.

Specified by:

compareTo in interface Comparable<Object>

Parameters:

right_obj - The other bytes writable

Returns:

Positive if left is bigger than right, 0 if they are equal, and negative if left is smaller than right.

compareTo

public int compareTo(byte[] that)

Compares the bytes in this object to the specified byte array

Returns:

Positive if left is bigger than right, 0 if they are equal, and negative if left is smaller than right.

equals

public boolean equals(Object right_obj)

Overrides:

equals in class Object

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Object

toArray

@Deprecated
public static byte[][] toArray(List<byte[]> array)

Deprecated. since 1.7.0; this utility method is not appropriate for the Value object

Converts a list of byte arrays to a two-dimensional array.

Parameters:

array - list of byte arrays

Returns:

two-dimensional byte array containing one given byte array per row
