Class KeyValue.MetaComparator

java.lang.Object
  org.apache.hadoop.hbase.KeyValue.KVComparator
      org.apache.hadoop.hbase.KeyValue.MetaComparator

All Implemented Interfaces:

Comparator<Cell>, KeyValue.SamePrefixComparator<byte[]>, org.apache.hadoop.io.RawComparator<Cell>

Enclosing class:

KeyValue

public static class KeyValue.MetaComparator
extends KeyValue.KVComparator

A KeyValue.KVComparator for hbase:meta catalog table KeyValues.

Constructor Summary

KeyValue.MetaComparator()

Method Summary

protected Object	clone()
protected int	compareRowKey(Cell l, Cell r) Override the row key comparison to parse and compare the meta row key parts.
int	compareRows(byte[] left, int loffset, int llength, byte[] right, int roffset, int rlength) Compare key portion of a KeyValue for keys in hbase:meta table.
String	getLegacyKeyComparatorName() The HFileV2 file format's trailer contains this class name.
byte[]	getShortMidpointKey(byte[] leftKey, byte[] rightKey) Don't do any fancy Block Index splitting tricks.

Method Detail

compareRows

public int compareRows(byte[] left,
                       int loffset,
                       int llength,
                       byte[] right,
                       int roffset,
                       int rlength)

Compare key portion of a KeyValue for keys in hbase:meta table.

Overrides:

compareRows in class KeyValue.KVComparator

Returns:

0 if equal, <0 if left smaller, >0 if right smaller

getShortMidpointKey

public byte[] getShortMidpointKey(byte[] leftKey,
                                  byte[] rightKey)

Don't do any fancy Block Index splitting tricks.

Overrides:

getShortMidpointKey in class KeyValue.KVComparator

Returns:

0 if equal, <0 if left smaller, >0 if right smaller

getLegacyKeyComparatorName

public String getLegacyKeyComparatorName()

The HFileV2 file format's trailer contains this class name. We reinterpret this and instantiate the appropriate comparator. TODO: With V3 consider removing this.

Overrides:

getLegacyKeyComparatorName in class KeyValue.KVComparator

Returns:

legacy class name for FileFileTrailer#comparatorClassName

clone

protected Object clone()
                throws CloneNotSupportedException

Overrides:

clone in class KeyValue.KVComparator

Throws:

CloneNotSupportedException

compareRowKey

protected int compareRowKey(Cell l,
                            Cell r)

Override the row key comparison to parse and compare the meta row key parts.

Overrides:

compareRowKey in class KeyValue.KVComparator

Returns:

0 if equal, <0 if left smaller, >0 if right smaller
