Class StoredCollection<E>

java.lang.Object
com.sleepycat.collections.StoredContainer

All Implemented Interfaces:
Cloneable, Iterable<E>, Collection<E>
Direct Known Subclasses:
StoredEntrySet, StoredKeySet, StoredList, StoredValueSet
public abstract class StoredCollection<E> extends StoredContainer implements Collection<E>
A abstract base class for all stored collections. This class, and its base class StoredContainer, provide implementations of most methods in the Collection interface. Other methods, such as add(java.lang.Object, java.lang.Object) and Collection.remove(java.lang.Object), are provided by concrete classes that extend this class.

In addition, this class provides the following methods for stored collections only. Note that the use of these methods is not compatible with the standard Java collections interface.

    • getIteratorBlockSize

      public int getIteratorBlockSize()
      Returns the number of records read at one time by iterators returned by the iterator() method. By default this value is DEFAULT_ITERATOR_BLOCK_SIZE.

    • setIteratorBlockSize

      public void setIteratorBlockSize(int blockSize)
      Changes the number of records read at one time by iterators returned by the iterator() method. By default this value is DEFAULT_ITERATOR_BLOCK_SIZE.
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - if the blockSize is less than two.

    • iterator

      public Iterator<E> iterator()
      Returns an iterator over the elements in this collection. The iterator will be read-only if the collection is read-only. This method conforms to the Collection.iterator() interface.

      The iterator returned by this method does not keep a database cursor open and therefore it does not need to be closed. It reads blocks of records as needed, opening and closing a cursor to read each block of records. The number of records per block is 10 by default and can be changed with setIteratorBlockSize(int).

      Because this iterator does not keep a cursor open, if it is used without transactions, the iterator does not have cursor stability characteristics. In other words, the record at the current iterator position can be changed or deleted by another thread. To prevent this from happening, call this method within a transaction or use the storedIterator() method instead.

      Specified by:
      iterator in interface Collection<E>
      Specified by:
      iterator in interface Iterable<E>
      Returns:
      a standard Iterator for this collection.

    • storedIterator

      public StoredIterator<E> storedIterator()
      Returns an iterator over the elements in this collection. The iterator will be read-only if the collection is read-only. This method does not exist in the standard Collection interface.

      If Iterator.set or Iterator.remove will be called and the underlying Database is transactional, then a transaction must be active when calling this method and must remain active while using the iterator.

      Warning: The iterator returned must be explicitly closed using StoredIterator.close() or StoredIterator.close(java.util.Iterator) to release the underlying database cursor resources.

      Returns:
      a StoredIterator for this collection.
      See Also:

    • storedIterator

      public StoredIterator<E> storedIterator(boolean writeAllowed)
      Returns a read or read-write iterator over the elements in this collection. This method does not exist in the standard Collection interface.

      If Iterator.set or Iterator.remove will be called and the underlying Database is transactional, then a transaction must be active when calling this method and must remain active while using the iterator.

      Warning: The iterator returned must be explicitly closed using StoredIterator.close() or StoredIterator.close(java.util.Iterator) to release the underlying database cursor resources.

      Parameters:
      writeAllowed - is true to open a read-write iterator or false to open a read-only iterator. If the collection is read-only the iterator will always be read-only.
      Returns:
      a StoredIterator for this collection.
      Throws:
      IllegalStateException - if writeAllowed is true but the collection is read-only.
      RuntimeExceptionWrapper - if a checked exception is thrown, including a DatabaseException on BDB (C Edition).
      See Also:

    • iterator

      public StoredIterator<E> iterator(boolean writeAllowed)
      Deprecated.
      Please use storedIterator() or storedIterator(boolean) instead. Because the iterator returned must be closed, the method name iterator is confusing since standard Java iterators do not need to be closed.

    • toArray

      public Object[] toArray()
      Returns an array of all the elements in this collection. This method conforms to the Collection.toArray() interface.
      Specified by:
      toArray in interface Collection<E>
      Throws:
      RuntimeExceptionWrapper - if a checked exception is thrown, including a DatabaseException on BDB (C Edition).

    • toArray

      public <T> T[] toArray(T[] a)
      Returns an array of all the elements in this collection whose runtime type is that of the specified array. This method conforms to the Collection.toArray(Object[]) interface.
      Specified by:
      toArray in interface Collection<E>
      Throws:
      RuntimeExceptionWrapper - if a checked exception is thrown, including a DatabaseException on BDB (C Edition).

    • containsAll

      public boolean containsAll(Collection<?> coll)
      Returns true if this collection contains all of the elements in the specified collection. This method conforms to the Collection.containsAll(java.util.Collection<?>) interface.
      Specified by:
      containsAll in interface Collection<E>
      Throws:
      RuntimeExceptionWrapper - if a checked exception is thrown, including a DatabaseException on BDB (C Edition).

    • addAll

      public boolean addAll(Collection<? extends E> coll)
      Adds all of the elements in the specified collection to this collection (optional operation). This method calls the Collection.add(Object) method of the concrete collection class, which may or may not be supported. This method conforms to the Collection.addAll(java.util.Collection<? extends E>) interface.
      Specified by:
      addAll in interface Collection<E>
      Throws:
      UnsupportedOperationException - if the collection is read-only, or if the collection is indexed, or if the add method is not supported by the concrete collection.
      RuntimeExceptionWrapper - if a checked exception is thrown, including a DatabaseException on BDB (C Edition).

    • removeAll

      public boolean removeAll(Collection<?> coll)
      Removes all this collection's elements that are also contained in the specified collection (optional operation). This method conforms to the Collection.removeAll(java.util.Collection<?>) interface.
      Specified by:
      removeAll in interface Collection<E>
      Throws:
      UnsupportedOperationException - if the collection is read-only.
      RuntimeExceptionWrapper - if a checked exception is thrown, including a DatabaseException on BDB (C Edition).

    • retainAll

      public boolean retainAll(Collection<?> coll)
      Retains only the elements in this collection that are contained in the specified collection (optional operation). This method conforms to the Collection.removeAll(java.util.Collection<?>) interface.
      Specified by:
      retainAll in interface Collection<E>
      Throws:
      UnsupportedOperationException - if the collection is read-only.
      RuntimeExceptionWrapper - if a checked exception is thrown, including a DatabaseException on BDB (C Edition).

    • equals

      public boolean equals(Object other)
      Compares the specified object with this collection for equality. A value comparison is performed by this method and the stored values are compared rather than calling the equals() method of each element. This method conforms to the Collection.equals(java.lang.Object) interface.
      Specified by:
      equals in interface Collection<E>
      Overrides:
      equals in class Object
      Throws:
      RuntimeExceptionWrapper - if a checked exception is thrown, including a DatabaseException on BDB (C Edition).

    • hashCode

      public int hashCode()
      Specified by:
      hashCode in interface Collection<E>
      Overrides:
      hashCode in class Object

    • toList

      public List<E> toList()
      Returns a copy of this collection as an ArrayList. This is the same as toArray() but returns a collection instead of an array.
      Returns:
      an ArrayList containing a copy of all elements in this collection.
      Throws:
      RuntimeExceptionWrapper - if a checked exception is thrown, including a DatabaseException on BDB (C Edition).

    • toString

      public String toString()
      Converts the collection to a string representation for debugging. WARNING: The returned string may be very large.
      Overrides:
      toString in class Object
      Returns:
      the string representation.
      Throws:
      RuntimeExceptionWrapper - if a checked exception is thrown, including a DatabaseException on BDB (C Edition).

    • size

      public int size()
      Description copied from class: StoredContainer
      Returns a non-transactional count of the records in the collection or map. This method conforms to the Collection.size() and Map.size() interfaces.
      Specified by:
      size in interface Collection<E>
      Specified by:
      size in class StoredContainer

    • join

      public StoredIterator<E> join(StoredContainer[] indices, Object[] indexKeys, JoinConfig joinConfig)
      Returns an iterator representing an equality join of the indices and index key values specified. This method does not exist in the standard Collection interface.

      Warning: The iterator returned must be explicitly closed using StoredIterator.close() or StoredIterator.close(java.util.Iterator) to release the underlying database cursor resources.

      The returned iterator supports only the two methods: hasNext() and next(). All other methods will throw UnsupportedOperationException.

      Parameters:
      indices - is an array of indices with elements corresponding to those in the indexKeys array.
      indexKeys - is an array of index key values identifying the elements to be selected.
      joinConfig - is the join configuration, or null to use the default configuration.
      Returns:
      an iterator over the elements in this collection that match all specified index key values.
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - if this collection is indexed or if a given index does not have the same store as this collection.
      RuntimeExceptionWrapper - if a checked exception is thrown, including a DatabaseException on BDB (C Edition).
