org.apache.hadoop.hbase.io.Reference

@Private
public class Reference
extends Object

A reference to the top or bottom half of a store file where 'bottom' is the first half of the file containing the keys that sort lowest and 'top' is the second half of the file with keys that sort greater than those of the bottom half. The file referenced lives under a different region. References are made at region split time.

References work with a special half store file type. References know how to write out the reference format in the file system and are what is juggled when references are mixed in with direct store files. The half store file type is used reading the referred to file.

References to store files located over in some other region look like this in the file system 1278437856009925445.3323223323: i.e. an id followed by hash of the referenced region. Note, a region is itself not splittable if it has instances of store file references. References are cleaned up by compactions.

Constructor

Parameters:

splitRow - This is row we are splitting around.

Reference

@Deprecated
public Reference()

Deprecated.

need by pb serialization

Used by serializations.

Method Details

createTopReference

public static Reference createTopReference(byte[] splitRow)

Returns A Reference that points at top half of a an hfile

createBottomReference

public static Reference createBottomReference(byte[] splitRow)

Returns A Reference that points at the bottom half of a an hfile

getFileRegion

public Reference.Range getFileRegion()

getSplitKey

public byte[] getSplitKey()

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Object

See Also:

• Object.toString()

isTopFileRegion

public static boolean isTopFileRegion(Reference.Range r)

readFields

@Deprecated
public void readFields(DataInput in)
                throws IOException

Deprecated.

Writables are going away. Use the pb serialization methods instead. Remove in a release after 0.96 goes out. This is here only to migrate old Reference files written with Writables before 0.96.

Throws:

IOException

write

public org.apache.hadoop.fs.Path write(org.apache.hadoop.fs.FileSystem fs,
 org.apache.hadoop.fs.Path p)
                                throws IOException

Throws:

IOException

convert

public org.apache.hadoop.hbase.shaded.protobuf.generated.FSProtos.Reference convert()

convert

public static Reference convert(org.apache.hadoop.hbase.shaded.protobuf.generated.FSProtos.Reference r)

toByteArray

public byte[] toByteArray()
                   throws IOException

Use this when writing to a stream and you want to use the pb mergeDelimitedFrom (w/o the delimiter, pb reads to EOF which may not be what you want).

Returns:

This instance serialized as a delimited protobuf w/ a magic pb prefix.

Throws:

IOException

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

equals

public boolean equals(Object o)

Overrides:

equals in class Object
