Method Detail

getParent

InteriorNode getParent()

Returns:

the parent node or null if this is the root

getBufferId

int getBufferId()

Returns:

the data buffer ID associated with this node.

getBuffer

DataBuffer getBuffer()

Returns:

the data buffer associated with this node.

getKeyCount

int getKeyCount()

Returns:

the number of keys contained within this node.

setKeyCount

void setKeyCount(int cnt)

Set the number of keys contained within this node.

Parameters:

cnt - key count

getKeyField

Field getKeyField(int index)
           throws java.io.IOException

Get the key value at a specific index.

Parameters:

index - key index

Returns:

key value

Throws:

java.io.IOException - thrown if an IO error occurs

getKeyIndex

int getKeyIndex(Field key)
         throws java.io.IOException

Perform a binary search to locate the specified key and derive an index into the Buffer ID storage. This method is intended to find the insertion index or exact match for a child key. A negative value will be returned when an exact match is not found and may be transformed into an insertion index (insetIndex = -returnedIndex-1).

Parameters:

key - key to search for

Returns:

int buffer ID index.

Throws:

java.io.IOException - thrown if an IO error occurs

delete

void delete()
     throws java.io.IOException

Delete this node and all child nodes.

Throws:

java.io.IOException - thrown if IO error occurs

getBufferReferences

int[] getBufferReferences()

Return all buffer IDs for those buffers which are children of this buffer.

Returns:

array of buffer IDs

isConsistent

boolean isConsistent(java.lang.String tableName,
                     TaskMonitor monitor)
              throws java.io.IOException,
                     CancelledException

Check the consistency of this node and all of its children.

Parameters:

tableName - name of table containing this node

monitor - task monitor

Returns:

true if consistency check passed, else false

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if IO error occured

CancelledException - if task cancelled
