StringKeyAnalyzer

public StringKeyAnalyzer()

bitsPerElement

public int bitsPerElement()

Description copied from class: KeyAnalyzer

Returns the number of bits per element in the key. This is only useful for variable-length keys, such as Strings.

Specified by:

bitsPerElement in class KeyAnalyzer<String>

Returns:

the number of bits per element

lengthInBits

public int lengthInBits(String key)

Description copied from class: KeyAnalyzer

Returns the length of the Key in bits.

Specified by:

lengthInBits in class KeyAnalyzer<String>

Parameters:

key - the key

Returns:

the bit length of the key

bitIndex

public int bitIndex(String key,
                    int offsetInBits,
                    int lengthInBits,
                    String other,
                    int otherOffsetInBits,
                    int otherLengthInBits)

Description copied from class: KeyAnalyzer

Returns the n-th different bit between key and other. This starts the comparison in key at 'offsetInBits' and goes for 'lengthInBits' bits, and compares to the other key starting at 'otherOffsetInBits' and going for 'otherLengthInBits' bits.

Specified by:

bitIndex in class KeyAnalyzer<String>

Parameters:

key - the key to use

offsetInBits - the bit offset in the key

lengthInBits - the maximum key length in bits to use

other - the other key to use

otherOffsetInBits - the bit offset in the other key

otherLengthInBits - the maximum key length in bits for the other key

Returns:

the bit index where the key and other first differ

isBitSet

public boolean isBitSet(String key,
                        int bitIndex,
                        int lengthInBits)

Description copied from class: KeyAnalyzer

Returns whether or not a bit is set.

Specified by:

isBitSet in class KeyAnalyzer<String>

Parameters:

key - the key to check, may not be null

bitIndex - the bit index to check

lengthInBits - the maximum key length in bits to check

Returns:

true if the bit is set in the given key and bitIndex < lengthInBits, false otherwise.

isPrefix

public boolean isPrefix(String prefix,
                        int offsetInBits,
                        int lengthInBits,
                        String key)

Description copied from class: KeyAnalyzer

Determines whether or not the given prefix (from offset to length) is a prefix of the given key.

Specified by:

isPrefix in class KeyAnalyzer<String>

Parameters:

prefix - the prefix to check

offsetInBits - the bit offset in the key

lengthInBits - the maximum key length in bits to use

key - the key to check

Returns:

true if this is a valid prefix for the given key
