public interface ByteRange
extends java.lang.Comparable<ByteRange>

Lightweight, reusable class for specifying ranges of byte[]'s.

ByteRange maintains an underlying byte[] and a viewport into that byte[] as a range of bytes. The ByteRange is a mutable, reusable object, so the underlying byte[] can be modified after instantiation. This is done using the set(byte[]) and unset() methods. Direct access to the byte[] is also available via getBytes(). The viewport is defined by an offset into the byte[] and a length. The range of bytes is 0-indexed, and is accessed by index via the get(int) and put(int, byte) methods.

This interface differs from ByteBuffer:

On-heap bytes only Raw byte access only; does not encode other primitives. Implements equals(Object), #hashCode(), and #compareTo(ByteRange) so that it can be used in standard java Collections. Comparison operations are lexicographic, which is native to HBase. Allows the addition of simple core methods like the deep and shallow copy methods. Can be reused in tight loops like a major compaction which can save significant amounts of garbage. (Without reuse, we throw off garbage like this thing.)

Mutable, and always evaluates #equals(Object), #hashCode(), and #compareTo(ByteRange) based on the current contents.

Can contain convenience methods for comparing, printing, cloning, spawning new arrays, copying to other arrays, etc. Please place non-core methods into ByteRangeUtils.

Method Detail

getBytes

byte[] getBytes()

The underlying byte[].

unset

ByteRange unset()

Nullifies this ByteRange. That is, it becomes a husk, being a range over no byte[] whatsoever.

Returns:

this

set

ByteRange set(int capacity)

Reuse this ByteRange over a new byte[]. offset is set to 0 and length is set to capacity.

Parameters:

capacity - the size of a new byte[].

Returns:

this

set

ByteRange set(byte[] bytes)

Reuse this ByteRange over a new byte[]. offset is set to 0 and length is set to bytes.length. A null bytes IS supported, in which case this method will behave equivalently to unset().

Parameters:

bytes - the array to wrap.

Returns:

this

set

ByteRange set(byte[] bytes,
              int offset,
              int length)

Reuse this ByteRange over a new byte[]. A null bytes IS supported, in which case this method will behave equivalently to unset(), regardless of the values of offset and length.

Parameters:

bytes - The array to wrap.

offset - The offset into bytes considered the beginning of this range.

length - The length of this range.

Returns:

this.

getOffset

int getOffset()

The offset, the index into the underlying byte[] at which this range begins.

The length of the range.

setLength

ByteRange setLength(int length)

Update the length of this range. offset + length should not be greater than bytes.length.
