    • getToken

      BinaryValued getToken(int index)
      Description copied from interface: TokenSequence
      Gets the value at the specified position.
      Specified by:
      getToken in interface ScalarTokenSequence
      Specified by:
      getToken in interface TokenSequence
      Parameters:
      index - the index of the token
      Returns:
      the value
    • getBinary

      byte[] getBinary(int index)
      Gets the value of the specified token as a binary value.

      A copy of the value is returned.

      Parameters:
      index - the position of the token in the sequence
      Returns:
      the value of the token. If the token is null valued, null is returned.
    • getBinaryRef

      byte[] getBinaryRef(int index)
      Gets the value of the specified token as a binary value.

      A reference to the value of the token is returned. Modifying this reference modifies the value of the token in the sequence.

      Parameters:
      index - the position of the token in the sequence
      Returns:
      the value of the token. If the token is null valued, null is returned.
    • getValues

      void getValues(int start, byte[][] values, boolean[] nulls, int offset, int length)
      Gets the values and null indicators for a range of tokens.

      References to the values of the tokens are returned. Modifying these references modify the values of the tokens in the sequence.

      Parameters:
      start - the starting index of the range
      values - an array into which to place element values
      nulls - an array into which to place null indicator values
      offset - the starting offset into the target arrays. That is, elements[offset] and nulls[offset] will get the value and null indicator respectively of the token at position start, and so on.
      length - number of tokens to get
    • newValueIterator

      BinaryValuedIterator newValueIterator()
      Description copied from interface: TokenSequence
      Creates an iterator over the non-null values of this sequence. The iterator will automatically be reset as modifications are made to the sequence.
      Specified by:
      newValueIterator in interface ScalarTokenSequence
      Specified by:
      newValueIterator in interface TokenSequence
      Returns:
      an newly-created iterator over the non-null values of this sequence.
