name

java.nio.ByteBuffer name()

size

int size()

value

java.nio.ByteBuffer value()

getSubColumns

java.util.Collection<IColumn> getSubColumns()

getSubColumn

addColumn

void addColumn(IColumn column)

addColumn

void addColumn(IColumn column,
               Allocator allocator)

diff

IColumn diff(IColumn column)

reconcile

IColumn reconcile(IColumn column)

reconcile

IColumn reconcile(IColumn column,
                  Allocator allocator)

updateDigest

void updateDigest(java.security.MessageDigest digest)

getLocalDeletionTime

int getLocalDeletionTime()

getString

java.lang.String getString(AbstractType comparator)

validateFields

void validateFields(CFMetaData metadata)
                    throws MarshalException

Throws:

MarshalException

localCopy

IColumn localCopy(ColumnFamilyStore cfs)

clones the column for the row cache, interning column names and making copies of other underlying byte buffers

localCopy

IColumn localCopy(ColumnFamilyStore cfs,
                  Allocator allocator)

clones the column for the memtable, interning column names and making copies of other underlying byte buffers. Unlike the other localCopy, this uses Allocator to allocate values in contiguous memory regions, which helps avoid heap fragmentation.

isLive

boolean isLive()

For a simple column, live == !isMarkedForDelete. For a supercolumn, live means it has at least one subcolumn whose timestamp is greater than the supercolumn deleted-at time.

hasExpiredTombstones

boolean hasExpiredTombstones(int gcBefore)

Returns:

true if the column or any its subcolumns expired before @param gcBefore

maxTimestamp

long maxTimestamp()

For a standard column, this is the same as timestamp(). For a super column, this is the max column timestamp of the sub columns.
