Class BasicHistoricalTagValue

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    HistoricalData, HistoricalTagValue, java.io.Serializable

    @Deprecated
    public class BasicHistoricalTagValue
    extends java.lang.Object
    implements HistoricalTagValue
    Deprecated.
    This was the original implementation of HistoricalTagValue. It has been replaced by one that supports different timestamp sources and encodes all of the enums as an integer to reduce serialized size.

      • getLoggerName

        public java.lang.String getLoggerName()
        Deprecated.
        Description copied from interface: HistoricalData
        Returns the name of the logger that should be notified when something happens to this data. If null or empty, notifications won't occur (errors, however, may still be logged to the general logger).
        Specified by:
        getLoggerName in interface HistoricalData
      • getDataCount

        public int getDataCount()
        Deprecated.
        Description copied from interface: HistoricalData
        This is a fairly ambiguous number, but basically indicates how many rows will ultimately be inserted in the database. Used for judging transaction size.
        Specified by:
        getDataCount in interface HistoricalData
      • getFlavor

        public HistoryFlavor getFlavor()
        Deprecated.
        Description copied from interface: HistoricalData
        The very broad "flavor" designator, used to get the data to the correct sink. That is, different sinks support different types of data, and this is used to match them up.
        Specified by:
        getFlavor in interface HistoricalData
      • getSignature

        public java.lang.String getSignature()
        Deprecated.
        Description copied from interface: HistoricalData
        The signature is a static string that describes this data as uniquely as possible. This will be used to group data in the data cache (for example, when displaying quarantined data), as well as uniquely identifying cacheable schemas, etc.

        Basically, the golden rule is that if two pieces of data have the same signature, the came from the same place, and are going to the same place, and in theory could be grouped together (note: they won't be, that is done with the GroupableData interface).

      • equals

        public boolean equals​(java.lang.Object value,
                              boolean includeTimestamp)
        Deprecated.
      • equals

        public boolean equals​(java.lang.Object obj)
        Deprecated.
        This is overridden in a particular way - we don't take value into account! This implementation is relied on to detect multiple values for a given time, which we can't have. If all other settings are equal, we only look at timestamp.
        Overrides:
        equals in class java.lang.Object
