public interface Partition
```
In-memory representation of a Partition. Note that most of the storage engine works through iterators (UnfilteredPartitionIterator) to avoid "materializing" a full partition/query response in memory as much as possible, and so Partition objects should be use as sparingly as possible. There is a couple of cases where we do need to represent partition in-memory (memtables and row cache).

All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`RegularAndStaticColumns`	`columns()`
`Row`	`getRow(Clustering<?> clustering)`	Returns the row corresponding to the provided clustering, or null if there is not such row.
`boolean`	`hasRows()`	Whether the partition object has rows.
`boolean`	`isEmpty()`	Whether the partition object has no informations at all, including any deletion informations.
`TableMetadata`	`metadata()`

`UnfilteredRowIterator`	`unfilteredIterator()`	Returns an UnfilteredRowIterator over all the rows/RT contained by this partition.
`UnfilteredRowIterator`	`unfilteredIterator(ColumnFilter columns, java.util.NavigableSet<Clustering<?>> clusteringsInQueryOrder, boolean reversed)`	Returns an UnfilteredRowIterator over the rows/RT contained by this partition selected by the provided clusterings.
`UnfilteredRowIterator`	`unfilteredIterator(ColumnFilter columns, Slices slices, boolean reversed)`	Returns an UnfilteredRowIterator over the rows/RT contained by this partition selected by the provided slices.

@Nullable
Row getRow(Clustering<?> clustering)
```
    Returns the row corresponding to the provided clustering, or null if there is not such row.
    
    Parameters:
    
    clustering - clustering key to search
    
    Returns:
    
    row corresponding to the clustering, it's either null or non-empty row.
