Type Parameters:
T - the type of the input argument to the filter
E - the type of the value to use for comparison
All Implemented Interfaces:

Direct Known Subclasses:
LessEqualsFilter
public class LessFilter<T,E extends Comparable<? super E>> extends ComparisonFilter<T,E,E> implements IndexAwareFilter<Object,T>
Filter which compares the result of a method invocation with a value for "Less" condition. 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.

      protected String getOperator()
      Overrides:

      Parameters:
      extracted - an extracted value to evaluate

    • 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 many keys will remain in the set after the index is applied. If no keys will remain in the set after the index is applied, this method should return 0. If all the keys will remain in the set, implying that no entries would be filtered out based on this filter, this method should return setKeys.size(). Otherwise, it should return the value between 0 and setKeys.size(). If there is no index in the specified index map that can be used by this filter, this method should return a negative integer.

      The effectiveness returned will be used by the composite filters to reorder nested filters from most to least effective, in order to optimize query execution.

      Specified by:
      calculateEffectiveness in interface IndexAwareFilter<T,E extends Comparable<? super E>>
      Overrides:
      calculateEffectiveness in class ExtractorFilter<T,E extends Comparable<? super E>>
      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<T,E extends Comparable<? super E>>
      Overrides:
      applyIndex in class ExtractorFilter<T,E extends Comparable<? super E>>
      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

    • includeEquals

      protected boolean includeEquals()
      Return whether the entries that match comparison value for this filter should be included in the results.
      Returns:
      true if equal values should be included in the results; false otherwise

    • allOrNothing

      protected Integer allOrNothing(MapIndex index, NavigableMap<E,Set<?>> mapContents, Set setKeys)
      Determine if the filter will match all or none of the entries in the index.
      Parameters:
      index - the index
      mapContents - the index contents
      setKeys - the set of keys to filter
      Returns:
      0 if no entries match; setKeys.size() if all entries match; and null if only some entries match or no conclusive determination can be made
