Interface ComparableTokenDecoder

All Superinterfaces:

TokenDecoder

public interface ComparableTokenDecoder
extends TokenDecoder

A decoder for byte-wise comparable binary encodings.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
void	decodeFieldAdditionalBytes(BinaryReader source, int fieldIndex, boolean skip) Decodes the additional bytes ( those that are required for storage but not for comparison) to the buffer.
void	decodeFieldComparisonBytes(BinaryReader source, int fieldIndex, boolean skip) Decodes those bytes that are needed for byte-wise comparison.
boolean	isInverted() Indicates whether normal ordering is inverted.

Method Detail

isInverted

boolean isInverted()

Indicates whether normal ordering is inverted.

Returns:

true if ordering is descending, false otherwise.

decodeFieldComparisonBytes

void decodeFieldComparisonBytes(BinaryReader source,
                                int fieldIndex,
                                boolean skip)

Decodes those bytes that are needed for byte-wise comparison.

Parameters:

source - the reader containing the encoding

fieldIndex - the index of the field being decoded

skip - a value of true means decode the bytes but don't set on target

decodeFieldAdditionalBytes

void decodeFieldAdditionalBytes(BinaryReader source,
                                int fieldIndex,
                                boolean skip)

Decodes the additional bytes ( those that are required for storage but not for comparison) to the buffer.

Parameters:

source - the reader containing the encoding

fieldIndex - the index of the field being decoded

skip - a value of true means decode the bytes but don't set on target
