Class Result

org.apache.hadoop.hbase.client.Result

All Implemented Interfaces:

CellScannable

@InterfaceAudience.Public
@InterfaceStability.Stable
public class Result
extends Object
implements CellScannable

Single row result of a Get or Scan query.

This class is NOT THREAD SAFE.

Convenience methods are available that return various Map structures and values directly.

To get a complete mapping of all cells in the Result, which can include multiple families and multiple versions, use getMap().

To get a mapping of each family to its columns (qualifiers and values), including only the latest version of each, use getNoVersionMap(). To get a mapping of qualifiers to latest values for an individual family use getFamilyMap(byte[]).

To get the latest value for a specific family and qualifier use getValue(byte[], byte[]). A Result is backed by an array of KeyValue objects, each representing an HBase cell defined by the row, family, qualifier, timestamp, and value.

The underlying KeyValue objects can be accessed through the method listCells(). Each KeyValue can then be accessed through KeyValue.getRow(), KeyValue.getFamily(), KeyValue.getQualifier(), KeyValue.getTimestamp(), and KeyValue.getValue().

If you need to overwrite a Result with another Result instance -- as in the old 'mapred' RecordReader next invocations -- then create an empty Result with the null constructor and in then use copyFrom(Result)

Field Detail

EMPTY_RESULT

public static final Result EMPTY_RESULT

Constructor Detail

Result

public Result()

Creates an empty Result w/ no KeyValue payload; returns null if you call rawCells(). Use this to represent no results if null won't do or in old 'mapred' as oppposed to 'mapreduce' package MapReduce where you need to overwrite a Result instance with a copyFrom(Result) call.

Result

@Deprecated
public Result(KeyValue[] cells)

Deprecated. Use create(List) instead.

Result

@Deprecated
public Result(List<KeyValue> kvs)

Deprecated. Use create(List) instead.

Method Detail

create

public static Result create(List<Cell> cells)

Instantiate a Result with the specified List of KeyValues.
Note: You must ensure that the keyvalues are already sorted.

Parameters:

cells - List of cells

create

public static Result create(List<Cell> cells,
            Boolean exists)

create

public static Result create(Cell[] cells)

Instantiate a Result with the specified array of KeyValues.
Note: You must ensure that the keyvalues are already sorted.

Parameters:

cells - array of cells

getRow

public byte[] getRow()

Method for retrieving the row key that corresponds to the row from which this Result was created.

Returns:

row

rawCells

public Cell[] rawCells()

Return the array of Cells backing this Result instance. The array is sorted from smallest -> largest using the KeyValue.COMPARATOR. The array only contains what your Get or Scan specifies and no more. For example if you request column "A" 1 version you will have at most 1 Cell in the array. If you request column "A" with 2 version you will have at most 2 Cells, with the first one being the newer timestamp and the second being the older timestamp (this is the sort order defined by KeyValue.COMPARATOR). If columns don't exist, they won't be present in the result. Therefore if you ask for 1 version all columns, it is safe to iterate over this array and expect to see 1 Cell for each column and no more. This API is faster than using getFamilyMap() and getMap()

Returns:

array of Cells; can be null if nothing in the result

raw

@Deprecated
public KeyValue[] raw()

Deprecated. as of 0.96, use rawCells()

Return an cells of a Result as an array of KeyValues WARNING do not use, expensive. This does an arraycopy of the cell[]'s value. Added to ease transition from 0.94 -> 0.96.

Returns:

array of KeyValues, empty array if nothing in result.

listCells

public List<Cell> listCells()

Create a sorted list of the Cell's in this result. Since HBase 0.20.5 this is equivalent to raw().

Returns:

sorted List of Cells; can be null if no cells in the result

list

@Deprecated
public List<KeyValue> list()

Deprecated. as of 0.96, use listCells()

Return an cells of a Result as an array of KeyValues WARNING do not use, expensive. This does an arraycopy of the cell[]'s value. Added to ease transition from 0.94 -> 0.96.

Returns:

all sorted List of KeyValues; can be null if no cells in the result

getColumn

@Deprecated
public List<KeyValue> getColumn(byte[] family,
                                  byte[] qualifier)

Deprecated. Use getColumnCells(byte[], byte[]) instead.

getColumnCells

public List<Cell> getColumnCells(byte[] family,
                        byte[] qualifier)

Return the Cells for the specific column. The Cells are sorted in the KeyValue.COMPARATOR order. That implies the first entry in the list is the most recent column. If the query (Scan or Get) only requested 1 version the list will contain at most 1 entry. If the column did not exist in the result set (either the column does not exist or the column was not selected in the query) the list will be empty. Also see getColumnLatest which returns just a Cell

Parameters:

family - the family

qualifier -

Returns:

a list of Cells for this column or empty list if the column did not exist in the result set

protected int binarySearch(Cell[] kvs,
               byte[] family,
               byte[] qualifier)
