Class PackedHistoricalQualifiedValue

    • Method Detail

      • equals

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

        public HistoryFlavor getFlavor()
        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()
        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).

        getSignature in interface HistoricalData
      • getDataCount

        public int getDataCount()
        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.

        getDataCount in interface HistoricalData
      • getLoggerName

        public java.lang.String getLoggerName()
        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
      • getField

        protected int getField​(int field)
      • setField

        protected void setField​(int field,
                                int value)
      • equals

        public boolean equals​(java.lang.Object obj)
        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
      • hashCode

        public int hashCode()
        This hashCode function is implemented according to the same constraints as equals above
        Overrides:
        hashCode in class java.lang.Object
      • toString

        public java.lang.String toString()
        Overrides:
        toString in class java.lang.Object
