Class Binding

java.lang.Object

com.yahoo.search.query.profile.compiled.Binding

All Implemented Interfaces:

Comparable<Binding>

public class Binding
extends Object
implements Comparable<Binding>

An immutable binding of a set of dimensions to values. This binding is minimal in that it only includes dimensions which actually have values.

Modifier and Type	Field	Description
static Binding	nullBinding

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
int	compareTo(Binding other)	Implements a partial ordering where more specific bindings come before less specific ones, taking both the number of bindings and their positions into account (earlier dimensions take precedence over later ones).
static Binding	createFrom(DimensionBinding dimensionBinding)
boolean	equals(Object o)	Returns whether the given binding has exactly the same values as this
boolean	generalizes(Binding other)	Returns whether this binding is a proper generalization of the given binding: Meaning it contains a proper subset of the given bindings.
int	hashCode()
boolean	isNull()	Returns true only if this binding is null (contains no values for its dimensions (if any)
boolean	matches(Map<String,String> context)	Returns true if all the dimension values in this have the same values in the given context.
String	toString()

nullBinding

public static final Binding nullBinding

Method Detail

createFrom

public static Binding createFrom(DimensionBinding dimensionBinding)

generalizes

public boolean generalizes(Binding other)

Returns whether this binding is a proper generalization of the given binding: Meaning it contains a proper subset of the given bindings.

isNull

public boolean isNull()

Returns true only if this binding is null (contains no values for its dimensions (if any)

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Object

equals

public boolean equals(Object o)

Returns whether the given binding has exactly the same values as this

Overrides:

equals in class Object

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

matches

public boolean matches(Map<String,String> context)

Returns true if all the dimension values in this have the same values in the given context.

compareTo

public int compareTo(Binding other)

Implements a partial ordering where more specific bindings come before less specific ones, taking both the number of bindings and their positions into account (earlier dimensions take precedence over later ones).

The order is not well defined for bindings in different dimensional spaces.
