public class BytewiseComparator
extends Comparator

This is a Java Native implementation of the C++ equivalent BytewiseComparatorImpl using Slice The performance of Comparators implemented in Java is always less than their C++ counterparts due to the bridging overhead, as such you likely don't want to use this apart from benchmarking and you most likely instead wanted BuiltinComparator.BYTEWISE_COMPARATOR

BytewiseComparator

public BytewiseComparator(ComparatorOptions copt)

Method Detail

name

public java.lang.String name()

Description copied from class: AbstractComparator

The name of the comparator. Used to check for comparator mismatches (i.e., a DB created with one comparator is accessed using a different comparator). A new name should be used whenever the comparator implementation changes in a way that will cause the relative ordering of any two keys to change. Names starting with "rocksdb." are reserved and should not be used.

Specified by:

name in class AbstractComparator<Slice>

Returns:

The name of this comparator implementation

compare

public int compare(Slice a,
                   Slice b)

Description copied from class: AbstractComparator

Three-way key comparison

Specified by:

compare in class AbstractComparator<Slice>

Parameters:

a - Slice access to first key

b - Slice access to second key

Returns:

Should return either: 1) < 0 if "a" < "b" 2) == 0 if "a" == "b" 3) > 0 if "a" > "b"

findShortestSeparator

public java.lang.String findShortestSeparator(java.lang.String start,
                                              Slice limit)

Description copied from class: AbstractComparator

Used to reduce the space requirements for internal data structures like index blocks.

If start < limit, you may return a new start which is a shorter string in [start, limit).

Simple comparator implementations may return null if they wish to use start unchanged. i.e., an implementation of this method that does nothing is correct.

Overrides:

findShortestSeparator in class AbstractComparator<Slice>

Parameters:

start - String

limit - of type T

Returns:

a shorter start, or null

findShortSuccessor

public java.lang.String findShortSuccessor(java.lang.String key)

Description copied from class: AbstractComparator

Used to reduce the space requirements for internal data structures like index blocks.

You may return a new short key (key1) where key1 ≥ key.

Simple comparator implementations may return null if they wish to leave the key unchanged. i.e., an implementation of this method that does nothing is correct.

Overrides:

findShortSuccessor in class AbstractComparator<Slice>

Parameters:

key - String

Returns:

a shorter key, or null
