public MetaCellComparator()

Method Detail

compareRows

public int compareRows(Cell left,
                       Cell right)

Description copied from class: CellComparatorImpl

Compares the rows of the left and right cell. For the hbase:meta case this method is overridden such that it can handle hbase:meta cells. The caller should ensure using the appropriate comparator for hbase:meta.

Specified by:

compareRows in interface CellComparator

Overrides:

compareRows in class CellComparatorImpl

Parameters:

left - the left hand side cell

right - the right hand side cell

Returns:

0 if both cells are equal, 1 if left cell is bigger than right, -1 otherwise

compareRows

public int compareRows(Cell left,
                       byte[] right,
                       int roffset,
                       int rlength)

Description copied from class: CellComparatorImpl

Compares the row part of the cell with a simple plain byte[] like the stopRow in Scan. This should be used with context where for hbase:meta cells the {CellComparatorImpl.META_COMPARATOR should be used

Specified by:

compareRows in interface CellComparator

Overrides:

compareRows in class CellComparatorImpl

Parameters:

left - the cell to be compared

right - the kv serialized byte[] to be compared with

roffset - the offset in the byte[]

rlength - the length in the byte[]

Returns:

0 if both cell and the byte[] are equal, 1 if the cell is bigger than byte[], -1 otherwise

compare

public int compare(Cell a,
                   Cell b,
                   boolean ignoreSequenceid)

Description copied from interface: CellComparator

Compare cells.

Specified by:

compare in interface CellComparator

Overrides:

compare in class CellComparatorImpl

ignoreSequenceid - True if we are to compare the key portion only and ignore the sequenceid. Set to false to compare key and consider sequenceid.

Returns:

0 if equal, -1 if a < b, and +1 if a > b.

getSimpleComparator

public Comparator getSimpleComparator()

Specified by:

getSimpleComparator in interface CellComparator

Overrides:

getSimpleComparator in class CellComparatorImpl

Returns:

A dumbed-down, fast comparator for hbase2 base-type, the ByteBufferKeyValue. Create an instance when you make a new memstore, when you know only BBKVs will be passed. Do not pollute with types other than BBKV if can be helped; the Comparator will slow.
