Class BetweenFilter<T,​E extends Comparable<? super E>>

  • Type Parameters:
    T - the type of the input argument to the filter
    E - the type of the extracted attribute to use for comparison
    All Implemented Interfaces:
    ExternalizableLite, PortableObject, Filter, EntryFilter, IndexAwareFilter, QueryRecorderFilter, Serializable
    public class BetweenFilter<T,​E extends Comparable<? super E>>
extends AndFilter
    Filter which compares the result of a method invocation with a value for "Between" condition. We use the standard ISO/IEC 9075:1992 semantic, according to which "X between Y and Z" is equivalent to "X >= Y && X <= Z". In a case when either result of a method invocation or a value to compare are equal to null, the evaluate test yields false. This approach is equivalent to the way the NULL values are handled by SQL.

        Specified by:
        evaluate in interface Filter<T>
        Overrides:
        evaluate in class AllFilter
        Parameters:
        oTarget - the input argument to evaluate
        Returns:
        true if the input argument matches the filter, otherwise false

      • evaluateEntry

        protected boolean evaluateEntry​(Map.Entry entry,
                                QueryContext ctx,
                                QueryRecord.PartialResult.TraceStep step)
        Check if the given entry passes the filter's evaluation. Record the actual cost of execution for each of the participating filters if a query context is provided.
        Overrides:
        evaluateEntry in class AllFilter
        Parameters:
        entry - a key value pair to filter
        ctx - the query ctx; may be null
        step - the step used to record the execution cost

      • applyIndex

        public Filter applyIndex​(Map mapIndexes,
                         Set setKeys)
        Filter remaining keys using a Map of available indexes.

        The filter is responsible for removing all keys from the passed set of keys that the applicable indexes can prove should be filtered. If the filter does not fully evaluate the remaining keys using just the index information, it must return a filter (which may be an EntryFilter) that can complete the task using an iterating implementation. If, on the other hand, the filter does fully evaluate the remaining keys using just the index information, then it should return null to indicate that no further filtering is necessary.

        Specified by:
        applyIndex in interface IndexAwareFilter<T,​E extends Comparable<? super E>>
        Overrides:
        applyIndex in class ArrayFilter
        Parameters:
        mapIndexes - the available MapIndex objects keyed by the related ValueExtractor; read-only
        setKeys - the mutable set of keys that remain to be filtered
        Returns:
        a Filter object (which may be an EntryFilter) that can be used to process the remaining keys, or null if no additional filter processing is necessary

      • calculateEffectiveness

        public int calculateEffectiveness​(Map mapIndexes,
                                  Set setKeys)
        Given a Map of available indexes, determine if this IndexAwareFilter can use any of the indexes to assist in its processing, and if so, determine how effective the use of that index would be.

        The returned value is an effectiveness estimate of how well this filter can use the specified indexes to filter the specified keys. An operation that requires no more than a single access to the index content (i.e. Equals, NotEquals) has an effectiveness of one. Evaluation of a single entry is assumed to have an effectiveness that depends on the index implementation and is usually measured as a constant number of the single operations. This number is referred to as evaluation cost.

        If the effectiveness of a filter evaluates to a number larger than the keySet.size() * <evaluation cost> then a user could avoid using the index and iterate through the keySet calling evaluate rather then applyIndex.

        Specified by:
        calculateEffectiveness in interface IndexAwareFilter<T,​E extends Comparable<? super E>>
        Overrides:
        calculateEffectiveness in class AllFilter
        Parameters:
        mapIndexes - the available MapIndex objects keyed by the related ValueExtractor; read-only
        setKeys - the set of keys that will be filtered; read-only
        Returns:
        an effectiveness estimate of how well this filter can use the specified indexes to filter the specified keys

                    QueryRecord.PartialResult.ExplainStep step,
                    Set setKeys)
        Record the projected query execution cost by this filter.

        This method is expected to record the order of execution and estimated cost of applying corresponding indexes in the given step without actually applying any indexes or evaluating entries.

        Specified by:
        explain in interface QueryRecorderFilter<T>
        Overrides:
        explain in class ArrayFilter
        Parameters:

        Called by the applyIndex(java.util.Map, java.util.Set) method if the index corresponding to this filter's value extractor is a sorted index.
        Parameters:
        setKeys - the set of keys of the entries being filtered
        mapInverted - the index to apply
