Class KeyFilter<T>

java.lang.Object
com.tangosol.util.Base
com.tangosol.util.filter.KeyFilter<T>
All Implemented Interfaces:
Filter<T>, EntryFilter<Object,T>, IndexAwareFilter<Object,T>, Serializable

public class KeyFilter<T> extends Base implements Filter<T>, EntryFilter<Object,T>, IndexAwareFilter<Object,T>
EntryFilter which checks whether an entry key belongs to a set.

Note: this filter is not serializable and intended to be used only internally by other composite filters to reduce the remaining key set.

As of Coherence 3.2, an equivalent functionality could be achieved using the InFilter as follows:

   new InFilter(new KeyExtractor(IdentityExtractor.INSTANCE), setKeys);

    • KeyFilter

      public KeyFilter(Set<T> setKeys)
      Construct a key filter.
      Parameters:
      setKeys - the keys that this filter will evaluate to true
  • Method Details

    • evaluate

      public boolean evaluate(Object o)
      Apply the test to the input argument.
      Specified by:
      evaluate in interface Filter<T>
      Parameters:
      o - the input argument to evaluate
      Returns:
      true if the input argument matches the filter, otherwise false
    • evaluateEntry

      public boolean evaluateEntry(Map.Entry entry)
      Apply the test to a Map Entry.
      Specified by:
      evaluateEntry in interface EntryFilter<Object,T>
      Parameters:
      entry - the Map Entry to evaluate; never null
      Returns:
      true if the test passes, false otherwise
    • 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<Object,T>
      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
    • 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<Object,T>
      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
    • getKeys

      public Set getKeys()
      Get the set of keys that are evaluated to true by this filter.
      Returns:
      the set of keys
    • toString

      public String toString()
      Return a human-readable description for this Filter.
      Overrides:
      toString in class Object
      Returns:
      a String description of the Filter
