Class Tuple

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.lang.Comparable<Tuple>, java.lang.Iterable<java.lang.Object>
    public class Tuple
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.lang.Comparable<Tuple>, java.lang.Iterable<java.lang.Object>
    Represents a set of elements that make up a sortable, typed key. This object is comparable with other Tuples and will sort in Java in the same order in which they would sort in FoundationDB. Tuples sort first by the first element, then by the second, etc. This makes the tuple layer ideal for building a variety of higher-level data models.

    Types

    A Tuple can contain byte arrays (byte[]), Strings, Numbers, UUIDs, booleans, Lists, Versionstamps, other Tuples, and null. Float and Double instances will be serialized as single- and double-precision numbers respectively, and BigIntegers within the range [-2^2040+1, 2^2040-1] are serialized without loss of precision (those outside the range will raise an IllegalArgumentException). All other Numbers will be converted to a long integral value, so the range will be constrained to [-2^63, 2^63-1]. Note that for numbers outside this range the way that Java truncates integral values may yield unexpected results.

    null values

    The FoundationDB tuple specification has a special type-code for None; nil; or, as Java would understand it, null. The behavior of the layer in the presence of null varies by type with the intention of matching expected behavior in Java. byte[], Strings, UUIDs, and nested Lists and Tuples can be null, whereas numbers (e.g., longs and doubles) and booleans cannot. This means that the typed getters (getBytes(), getString()), getUUID(), getNestedTuple(), getVersionstamp, and getNestedList()) will return null if the entry at that location was null and the typed adds (add(byte[]), add(String), add(Versionstamp) add(Tuple), and add(List)) will accept null. The typed get for integers and other typed getters, however, will throw a NullPointerException if the entry in the Tuple was null at that position.

    This class is not thread safe.

      • pack

        public byte[] pack()
        Get an encoded representation of this Tuple. Each element is encoded to bytes and concatenated. Note that once a Tuple has been packed, its serialized representation is stored internally so that future calls to this function are faster than the initial call.
        Returns:
        a packed representation of this Tuple

      • pack

        public byte[] pack​(byte[] prefix)
        Get an encoded representation of this Tuple. Each element is encoded to bytes and concatenated, and then the prefix supplied is prepended to the array. Note that once a Tuple has been packed, its serialized representation is stored internally so that future calls to this function are faster than the initial call.
        Parameters:
        prefix - additional byte-array prefix to prepend to the packed bytes
        Returns:
        a packed representation of this Tuple prepended by the prefix

      • packInto

        public void packInto​(java.nio.ByteBuffer dest)
        Pack an encoded representation of this Tuple onto the end of the given ByteBuffer. It is up to the caller to ensure that there is enough space allocated within the buffer to avoid BufferOverflowExceptions. The client may call getPackedSize() to determine how large this Tuple will be once packed in order to allocate sufficient memory. Note that unlike pack(), the serialized representation of this Tuple is not stored, so calling this function multiple times with the same Tuple requires serializing the Tuple multiple times.

        This method will throw an error if there are any incomplete Versionstamps in this Tuple.
        Parameters:
        dest - the destination ByteBuffer for the encoded Tuple

      • packWithVersionstamp

        public byte[] packWithVersionstamp()
        Get an encoded representation of this Tuple for use with MutationType.SET_VERSIONSTAMPED_KEY. This works the same as the one-paramter version of this method, but it does not add any prefix to the array.
        Returns:
        a packed representation of this Tuple for use with versionstamp ops.
        Throws:
        java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if there is not exactly one incomplete Versionstamp included in this Tuple

      • packWithVersionstamp

        public byte[] packWithVersionstamp​(byte[] prefix)
        Get an encoded representation of this Tuple for use with MutationType.SET_VERSIONSTAMPED_KEY. There must be exactly one incomplete Versionstamp instance within this Tuple or this will throw an IllegalArgumentException. Each element is encoded to bytes and concatenated, the prefix is then prepended to the array, and then the index of the packed incomplete Versionstamp is appended as a little-endian integer. This can then be passed as the key to Transaction.mutate() with the SET_VERSIONSTAMPED_KEY MutationType, and the transaction's version will then be filled in at commit time.

        Note that once a Tuple has been packed, its serialized representation is stored internally so that future calls to this function are faster than the initial call.
        Parameters:
        prefix - additional byte-array prefix to prepend to packed bytes.
        Returns:
        a packed representation of this Tuple for use with versionstamp ops.
        Throws:
        java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if there is not exactly one incomplete Versionstamp included in this Tuple

      • getItems

        public java.util.List<java.lang.Object> getItems()

        public java.util.stream.Stream<java.lang.Object> stream()
        Gets a Stream of the unserialized contents of this Tuple.
        Returns:
        a Stream of the elements that make up this Tuple.

      • iterator

        public java.util.Iterator<java.lang.Object> iterator()
        Gets an Iterator over the Objects in this Tuple. This Iterator is unmodifiable and will throw an exception if remove() is called.
        Specified by:
        iterator in interface java.lang.Iterable<java.lang.Object>
        Returns:
        an unmodifiable Iterator over the elements in the Tuple.

      • fromBytes

        public static Tuple fromBytes​(byte[] bytes)
        Construct a new Tuple with elements decoded from a supplied byte array. The passed byte array must not be null. This will throw an exception if the passed byte array does not represent a valid Tuple.

        Parameters:
        bytes - encoded Tuple source
        Returns:
        a new Tuple constructed by deserializing the provided byte array

        Gets an indexed item as a Tuple. This function will not do type conversion and so will throw a ClassCastException if the element is not a List or Tuple. The element at the index may be null.
        Parameters:
        index - the location of the item to return
        Returns:
        the item at index as a List
        Throws:
        java.lang.ClassCastException - if the element at index is not a Tuple or a List

      • get

        public java.lang.Object get​(int index)
        Gets an indexed item without forcing a type.
        Parameters:
        index - the index of the item to return
        Returns:
        an item from the list, without forcing type conversion

      • popFront

        public Tuple popFront()
        Creates a new Tuple with the first item of this Tuple removed.
        Returns:
        a newly created Tuple without the first item of this Tuple
        Throws:
        java.lang.IllegalStateException - if this Tuple is empty

      • popBack

        public Tuple popBack()
        Creates a new Tuple with the last item of this Tuple removed.
        Returns:
        a newly created Tuple without the last item of this Tuple
        Throws:
        java.lang.IllegalStateException - if this Tuple is empty

      • range

        public Range range()
        Returns a range representing all keys that encode Tuples strictly starting with this Tuple.

        For example: 
           Tuple t = Tuple.from("a", "b");
   Range r = t.range();
        r includes all tuples ("a", "b", ...)
        This function will throw an error if this Tuple contains an incomplete Versionstamp.
        Returns:
        the range of keys containing all possible keys that have this Tuple as a strict prefix

      • range

        public Range range​(byte[] prefix)
        Returns a range representing all keys that encode Tuples strictly starting with the given prefix followed by this Tuple.

        For example: 
           Tuple t = Tuple.from("a", "b");
   Range r = t.range(Tuple.from("c").pack());
        r contains all tuples ("c", "a", "b", ...)
        This function will throw an error if this Tuple contains an incomplete Versionstamp.
        Parameters:
        prefix - a byte prefix to precede all elements in the range
        Returns:
        the range of keys containing all possible keys that have prefix followed by this Tuple as a strict prefix

      • hasIncompleteVersionstamp

        public boolean hasIncompleteVersionstamp()
        Determines if there is a Versionstamp included in this Tuple that has not had its transaction version set. It will search through nested Tuples contained within this Tuple. It will not throw an error if it finds multiple incomplete Versionstamp instances.
        Returns:
        whether there is at least one incomplete Versionstamp included in this Tuple

      • getPackedSize

        public int getPackedSize()
        Get the number of bytes in the packed representation of this Tuple. This is done by summing the serialized sizes of all of the elements of this Tuple and does not pack everything into a single Tuple. The return value of this function is stored within this Tuple after this function has been called so that subsequent calls on the same object are fast. This method does not validate that there is not more than one incomplete Versionstamp in this Tuple.
        Returns:
        the number of bytes in the packed representation of this Tuple

      • compareTo

        public int compareTo​(Tuple t)
        Compare the byte-array representation of this Tuple against another. This method will sort Tuples in the same order that they would be sorted as keys in FoundationDB. Returns a negative integer, zero, or a positive integer when this object's byte-array representation is found to be less than, equal to, or greater than the specified Tuple.
        Specified by:
        compareTo in interface java.lang.Comparable<Tuple>
        Parameters:
        t - the Tuple against which to compare
        Returns:
        a negative integer, zero, or a positive integer when this Tuple is less than, equal, or greater than the parameter t.

      • hashCode

        public int hashCode()
        Returns a hash code value for this Tuple. Computing the hash code is fairly expensive as it involves packing the underlying Tuple to bytes. However, this value is memoized, so for any given Tuple, it only needs to be computed once. This means that it is generally safe to use Tuples with hash-based data structures such as HashSets or HashMaps.
        Overrides:
        hashCode in class java.lang.Object
        Returns:
        a hash code for this Tuple that can be used by hash tables

      • equals

        public boolean equals​(java.lang.Object o)
        Tests for equality with another Tuple. If the passed object is not a Tuple this returns false. If the object is a Tuple, this returns true if compareTo() would return 0.
        Overrides:
        equals in class java.lang.Object
        Returns:
        true if obj is a Tuple and their binary representation is identical

      • toString

        public java.lang.String toString()
        Returns a string representing this Tuple. This contains human-readable representations of all of the elements of this Tuple. For most elements, this means using that object's default string representation. For byte-arrays, this means using ByteArrayUtil.printable() to produce a byte-string where most printable ASCII code points have been rendered as characters.
        Overrides:
        toString in class java.lang.Object
        Returns:
        a human-readable String representation of this Tuple

      • fromItems

        public static Tuple fromItems​(java.lang.Iterable<?> items)
        Creates a new Tuple from a variable number of elements. The elements must follow the type guidelines from add, and so can only be Strings, byte[]s, Numbers, UUIDs, Booleans, Lists, Tuples, or nulls.

        Parameters:
        items - the elements from which to create the Tuple.
        Returns:

        a new Tuple with the given items as its elements

      • from

        public static Tuple from​(java.lang.Object... items)
