Interface LowLevelIndexRepository

All Known Implementing Classes:

FSIndexRepositoryImpl

public interface LowLevelIndexRepository

Low-level index repository access. Provides access to low-level indexes.

Use LowLevelCAS.ll_getIndexRepository() to gain access to an object of this type.

Method Summary

void	ll_addFS(int fsRef) Add a FS reference to all appropriate indexes in the repository.
void	ll_addFS(int fsRef, boolean doChecks) Add a FS reference to all appropriate indexes in the repository.
LowLevelIndex	ll_getIndex(java.lang.String indexName) Get an index by its name.
LowLevelIndex	ll_getIndex(java.lang.String indexName, int typeCode) Get an index by a name and type.
void	ll_removeFS(int fsRef) Remove a FS reference from all indexes in the repository.

Method Detail

ll_getIndex

LowLevelIndex ll_getIndex(java.lang.String indexName)

Get an index by its name.

Parameters:

indexName - The name of the index.

Returns:

The corresponding index, or null if no such index exists.

ll_getIndex

LowLevelIndex ll_getIndex(java.lang.String indexName,
                          int typeCode)

Get an index by a name and type. The type must be a subtype of the index's type. Note that there is no special checked version of this method, the type parameters are always checked.

Parameters:

indexName - The name of the index.

typeCode - The code of the desired subtype.

Returns:

The corresponding index, or null if no such index exists.

Throws:

LowLevelException - If the type code argument is not a valid type code.

ll_addFS

void ll_addFS(int fsRef)

Add a FS reference to all appropriate indexes in the repository.

Parameters:

fsRef - The FS reference to be added to the repository. If fsRef is not a valid FS reference, the subsequent behavior of the system is undefined.

ll_addFS

void ll_addFS(int fsRef,
              boolean doChecks)

Add a FS reference to all appropriate indexes in the repository.

Parameters:

fsRef - The FS reference to be added to the repository. If fsRef is not a valid FS reference, the subsequent behavior of the system is undefined.

doChecks - Check if the FS reference argument is a valid reference.

ll_removeFS

void ll_removeFS(int fsRef)

Remove a FS reference from all indexes in the repository. Note that this only removes the reference from the index repository, it does not free memory on the heap.

Parameters:

fsRef - The FS reference to be removed from the indexes.
