Interface DeleteTracker

All Known Implementing Classes:

ScanDeleteTracker, VisibilityScanDeleteTracker

@InterfaceAudience.Private
public interface DeleteTracker

This interface is used for the tracking and enforcement of Deletes during the course of a Get or Scan operation.

This class is utilized through three methods:

• add(org.apache.hadoop.hbase.Cell) when encountering a Delete
• isDeleted(org.apache.hadoop.hbase.Cell) when checking if a Put KeyValue has been deleted
• update() when reaching the end of a StoreFile

Method Detail

add

void add(Cell cell)

Add the specified cell to the list of deletes to check against for this row operation.

This is called when a Delete is encountered in a StoreFile.

Parameters:

cell - - the delete cell

isDeleted

DeleteTracker.DeleteResult isDeleted(Cell cell)

Check if the specified cell buffer has been deleted by a previously seen delete.

Parameters:

cell - - current cell to check if deleted by a previously seen delete

Returns:

deleteResult The result tells whether the KeyValue is deleted and why

isEmpty

boolean isEmpty()

Returns:

true if there are no current delete, false otherwise

update

void update()

Called at the end of every StoreFile.

Many optimized implementations of Trackers will require an update at when the end of each StoreFile is reached.

reset

void reset()

Called between rows.

This clears everything as if a new DeleteTracker was instantiated.
