Interface ValueSegment<T extends Comparable,V extends Comparable>

All Superinterfaces:

Comparable<ValueSegment<T,V>>

All Known Implementing Classes:

DefaultValueSegment

public interface ValueSegment<T extends Comparable,V extends Comparable>
extends Comparable<ValueSegment<T,V>>

A ValueSegment represents a stable value within a segment of Comparable values. For example, instances could represent the average temperature each hour of the day. The start and end values of the ValueSegment would be the Timestamps of the start and end of the hour and the value would be the Float representing the average temperature for that hour.

Note: ValueSegments must be immutable objects.
