Interface BtreeCompressor

public interface BtreeCompressor

An interface specifying how Btree compression works.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
boolean	compress(Database db, DatabaseEntry prevKey, DatabaseEntry prevData, DatabaseEntry key, DatabaseEntry data, DatabaseEntry dest)	The application-specific Btree compress callback.
boolean	decompress(Database db, DatabaseEntry prevKey, DatabaseEntry prevData, DatabaseEntry compressed, DatabaseEntry key, DatabaseEntry data)	The application-specific Btree decompress callback.

Method Detail

compress

boolean compress(Database db,
                 DatabaseEntry prevKey,
                 DatabaseEntry prevData,
                 DatabaseEntry key,
                 DatabaseEntry data,
                 DatabaseEntry dest)

The application-specific Btree compress callback.

The compress function must return true on success and false on failure. If the compressed data is larger than dest.getUserBufferLength() the function should set the required length in the dest DatabaseEntry via setSize and return false.

Parameters:

db - The enclosing database handle.

prevKey - A database entry representing the previous key from the compressed stream.

prevData - A database entry representing the data matching prevKey key entry.

key - A database entry representing representing the application supplied key.

data - A database entry representing representing the application supplied data.

dest - A database entry representing the data stored in the tree. This is where the callback function should write the compressed data.

Returns:

true on success and false on failure

decompress

boolean decompress(Database db,
                   DatabaseEntry prevKey,
                   DatabaseEntry prevData,
                   DatabaseEntry compressed,
                   DatabaseEntry key,
                   DatabaseEntry data)

The application-specific Btree decompress callback.

The decompress function must return true on success, and false on failure.

Parameters:

db - The enclosing database handle.

prevKey - A database entry representing the previous key from the compressed stream.

prevData - A database entry representing the data matching prevKey key entry.

compressed - A database entry representing the data stored in the tree. That is the compressed data.

key - A database entry representing representing the application supplied key.

data - A database entry representing representing the application supplied data.

Returns:

true on success and false on failure
