Class SortedKeyIterator

    • Method Detail

      • deepCopy

        public SortedKeyValueIterator<Key,​Value> deepCopy​(IteratorEnvironment env)
        Description copied from interface: SortedKeyValueIterator
        Creates a deep copy of this iterator as though seek had not yet been called. init should be called on an iterator before deepCopy is called. init should not need to be called on the copy that is returned by deepCopy; that is, when necessary init should be called in the deepCopy method on the iterator it returns. The behavior is unspecified if init is called after deepCopy either on the original or the copy. A proper implementation would call deepCopy on the source.
        Specified by:
        deepCopy in interface SortedKeyValueIterator<Key,​Value>
        Overrides:
        deepCopy in class WrappingIterator
        Parameters:
        env - IteratorEnvironment environment in which iterator is being run.
        Returns:
        SortedKeyValueIterator a copy of this iterator (with the same source and settings).
      • getTopValue

        public Value getTopValue()
        Description copied from interface: SortedKeyValueIterator
        Returns top value. Can be called 0 or more times without affecting behavior of next() or hasTop().

        For performance reasons, iterators reserve the right to reuse objects returned by getTopValue when SortedKeyValueIterator.next() is called, changing the underlying data that the object references. Iterators that need to save an object returned by getTopValue ought to copy the object's data into a new object in order to avoid aliasing bugs.

        Specified by:
        getTopValue in interface SortedKeyValueIterator<Key,​Value>
        Overrides:
        getTopValue in class WrappingIterator
        Returns:
        V
      • describeOptions

        public OptionDescriber.IteratorOptions describeOptions()
        Description copied from interface: OptionDescriber
        Gets an iterator options object that contains information needed to configure this iterator. This object will be used by the accumulo shell to prompt the user to input the appropriate information.
        Specified by:
        describeOptions in interface OptionDescriber
        Returns:
        an iterator options object
      • validateOptions

        public boolean validateOptions​(Map<String,​String> options)
        Description copied from interface: OptionDescriber
        Check to see if an options map contains all options required by an iterator and that the option values are in the expected formats.
        Specified by:
        validateOptions in interface OptionDescriber
        Parameters:
        options - a map of option names to option values
        Returns:
        true if options are valid, false otherwise (IllegalArgumentException preferred)
