org.apache.cassandra.db
Class DecoratedKey

java.lang.Object
  org.apache.cassandra.db.RowPosition
      org.apache.cassandra.db.DecoratedKey

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.lang.Comparable<RowPosition>, RingPosition<RowPosition>

public class DecoratedKey
extends RowPosition

Represents a decorated key, handy for certain operations where just working with strings gets slow. We do a lot of sorting of DecoratedKeys, so for speed, we assume that tokens correspond one-to-one with keys. This is not quite correct in the case of RandomPartitioner (which uses MD5 to hash keys to tokens); if this matters, you can subclass RP to use a stronger hash, or use a non-lossy tokenization scheme (as in the OrderPreservingPartitioner classes).
