Order (Apache HBase 1.1.7 API)

java.lang.Object
- java.lang.Enum<Order>
- - org.apache.hadoop.hbase.util.Order

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<Order>
```
@InterfaceAudience.Public
@InterfaceStability.Evolving
public enum Order
extends Enum<Order>
```
Used to describe or modify the lexicographical sort order of a byte[]. Default ordering is considered ASCENDING. The order of a byte[] can be inverted, resulting in DESCENDING order, by replacing each byte with its 1's compliment.

Methods
Modifier and Type	Method and Description
`abstract byte`	`apply(byte val)` Apply order to the byte `val`.
`abstract void`	`apply(byte[] val)` Apply order to the byte array `val`.
`abstract void`	`apply(byte[] val, int offset, int length)` Apply order to a range within the byte array `val`.
`abstract int`	`cmp(int cmp)` Returns the adjusted trichotomous value according to the ordering imposed by this `Order`.
`static Order`	`valueOf(String name)` Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name.
`static Order[]`	`values()` Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared.

  - values
```
public static Order[] values()
```
    Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:
```
for (Order c : Order.values())
    System.out.println(c);
```
    Returns:
    an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared
  - valueOf
```
public static Order valueOf(String name)
```
    Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
    
    Parameters:
    name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
    
    Returns:
    the enum constant with the specified name
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
    
    NullPointerException - if the argument is null
  - cmp
```
public abstract int cmp(int cmp)
```
    Returns the adjusted trichotomous value according to the ordering imposed by this Order.
  - apply
```
public abstract byte apply(byte val)
```
    Apply order to the byte val.
  - apply
```
public abstract void apply(byte[] val)
```
    Apply order to the byte array val.
  - apply
```
public abstract void apply(byte[] val,
         int offset,
         int length)
```
    Apply order to a range within the byte array val.
