Interface BatchInserterIndex

All Known Subinterfaces:
  BatchInserterIndex

    public interface BatchInserterIndex

The `BatchInserter` version of `Index`. Additions/updates to a `BatchInserterIndex` doesn't necessarily gets added to the actual index immediately, but are instead forced to be written when the index is shut down, `BatchInserterIndexProvider.shutdown()`. To guarantee additions/updates are seen by `updateOrAdd(long, Map)`, `get(String, Object)`, `query(String, Object)` and `query(Object)` a call to `flush()` must be made prior to calling such a method. This enables implementations more flexibility in making for performance optimizations.

Method Summary
`void` | `add(long entityId, Map<String,Object> properties)` Adds key/value pairs for `entity` to the index.
`void` | `flush()` Makes sure additions/updates can be seen by `get(String, Object)`, `query(String, Object)` and `query(Object)` so that they are guaranteed to return correct results.
`IndexHits<Long>` | `get(String key, Object value)` Returns exact matches from this index, given the key/value pair.
`IndexHits<Long>` | `query(Object queryOrQueryObject)` Returns matches from this index based on the supplied query object, which can be a query string or an implementation-specific query object.
`IndexHits<Long>` | `query(String key, Object queryOrQueryObject)` Returns matches from this index based on the supplied `key` and query object, which can be a query string or an implementation-specific query object.
`void` | `setCacheCapacity(String key, int size)` Sets the cache size for key/value pairs for the given `key`.
`void` | `updateOrAdd(long entityId, Map<String,Object> properties)` Adds key/value pairs for `entity` to the index.

Method Detail

### add

    void add(long entityId,
             Map<String,Object> properties)

  Adds key/value pairs for `entity` to the index. If there's a previous index for `entity` it will co-exist with this new one. This behaviour is because of performance reasons, to not being forced to check if indexing for `entity` already exists or not. If you need to update indexing for `entity` and it's ok with a slower indexing process use `updateOrAdd(long, Map)` instead. Entries added to the index aren't necessarily written to the index and to disk until `BatchInserterIndexProvider.shutdown()` has been called. Entries added to the index isn't necessarily seen by other methods: `updateOrAdd(long, Map)`, `get(String, Object)`, `query(String, Object)` and `query(Object)` until a call to `flush()` has been made.

  Parameters:
    `entityId` - the entity (i.e id of `Node` or `Relationship`) to associate the key/value pairs with.
    `properties` - key/value pairs to index for `entity`.

### updateOrAdd

    void updateOrAdd(long entityId,
                     Map<String,Object> properties)

  Adds key/value pairs for `entity` to the index. If there's any previous index for `entity` all such indexed key/value pairs will be deleted first. This method can be considerably slower than `add(long, Map)` because it must check if there are properties already indexed for `entity`. So if you know that there's no previous indexing for `entity` use `add(long, Map)` instead. Entries added to the index aren't necessarily written to the index and to disk until `BatchInserterIndexProvider.shutdown()` has been called. Entries added to the index isn't necessarily seen by other methods: `updateOrAdd(long, Map)`, `get(String, Object)`, `query(String, Object)` and `query(Object)` until a call to `flush()` has been made. So only entries added before the most recent `flush()` are guaranteed to be found by this method.

  Parameters:
    `entityId` - the entity (i.e id of `Node` or `Relationship`) to associate the key/value pairs with.
    `properties` - key/value pairs to index for `entity`.

### get

    IndexHits<Long> get(String key,
                        Object value)

  Returns exact matches from this index, given the key/value pair. Matches will be for key/value pairs just as they were added by the `add(long, Map)` or `updateOrAdd(long, Map)` method. Entries added to the index aren't necessarily written to the index and to disk until `BatchInserterIndexProvider.shutdown()` has been called. Entries added to the index isn't necessarily seen by other methods: `updateOrAdd(long, Map)`, `get(String, Object)`, `query(String, Object)` and `query(Object)` until a call to `flush()` has been made. So only entries added before the most recent `flush()` are guaranteed to be found by this method.

  Parameters:
    `key` - the key in the key/value pair to match.
    `value` - the value in the key/value pair to match.
  Returns:
    the result wrapped in an `IndexHits` object. If the entire result set isn't looped through, `IndexHits.close()` must be called before disposing of the result.

### query

    IndexHits<Long> query(String key,
                          Object queryOrQueryObject)

  Returns matches from this index based on the supplied `key` and query object, which can be a query string or an implementation-specific query object. Entries added to the index aren't necessarily written to the index and to disk until `BatchInserterIndexProvider.shutdown()` has been called. Entries added to the index isn't necessarily seen by other methods: `updateOrAdd(long, Map)`, `get(String, Object)`, `query(String, Object)` and `query(Object)` until a call to `flush()` has been made. So only entries added before the most recent `flush()` are guaranteed to be found by this method.

  Parameters:
    `key` - the key in this query.
    `queryOrQueryObject` - the query for the `key` to match.
  Returns:
    the result wrapped in an `IndexHits` object. If the entire result set isn't looped through, `IndexHits.close()` must be called before disposing of the result.

### query

    IndexHits<Long> query(Object queryOrQueryObject)

  Returns matches from this index based on the supplied query object, which can be a query string or an implementation-specific query object. Entries added to the index aren't necessarily written to the index and to disk until `BatchInserterIndexProvider.shutdown()` has been called. Entries added to the index isn't necessarily seen by other methods: `updateOrAdd(long, Map)`, `get(String, Object)`, `query(String, Object)` and `query(Object)` until a call to `flush()` has been made. So only entries added before the most recent `flush()` are guaranteed to be found by this method.

  Parameters:
    `queryOrQueryObject` - the query to match.
  Returns:
    the result wrapped in an `IndexHits` object. If the entire result set isn't looped through, `IndexHits.close()` must be called before disposing of the result.

### flush

    void flush()

  Makes sure additions/updates can be seen by `get(String, Object)`, `query(String, Object)` and `query(Object)` so that they are guaranteed to return correct results. Also `updateOrAdd(long, Map)` will find previous indexing correctly after a flush.

### setCacheCapacity

    void setCacheCapacity(String key,
                          int size)

  Sets the cache size for key/value pairs for the given `key`. Caching values may increase `get(String, Object)` lookups significantly, but may at the same time slow down insertion of data some. Be sure to call this method to enable caching for keys that will be used a lot in lookups. It's also best to call this method for your keys right after the index has been created.

  Parameters:
    `key` - the key to set cache capacity for.
    `size` - the number of values to cache results for.
