Nested Class Summary

static interface

Id.Distance A class for representing and manipulating the distance between two Ids on the circle.

Method Summary

Id	addToId(Id.Distance offset) Returns an Id corresponding to this Id plus a given distance
boolean	clockwise(Id nid) Checks to see if the Id nid is clockwise or counterclockwise from this, on the ring.
Id.Distance	distanceFromId(Id nid) Returns the shorter numerical distance on the ring between a pair of Ids.
int	getByteArrayLength() Returns the length of the byte[] representing this Id
short	getType()
boolean	isBetween(Id ccw, Id cw) Checks if this Id is between two given ids ccw (inclusive) and cw (exclusive) on the circle
Id.Distance	longDistanceFromId(Id nid) Returns the longer numerical distance on the ring between a pair of Ids.
void	serialize(OutputBuffer buf) Serialize
byte[]	toByteArray() Returns a (mutable) byte array representing this Id
void	toByteArray(byte[] array, int offset) Stores the byte[] value of this Id in the provided byte array
java.lang.String	toStringFull() Returns a string representing the full length of this Id.

Method Detail

isBetween

boolean isBetween(Id ccw,
                  Id cw)

Checks if this Id is between two given ids ccw (inclusive) and cw (exclusive) on the circle

Parameters:

ccw - the counterclockwise id

cw - the clockwise id

Returns:

true if this is between ccw (inclusive) and cw (exclusive), false otherwise

clockwise

boolean clockwise(Id nid)

Checks to see if the Id nid is clockwise or counterclockwise from this, on the ring. An Id is clockwise if it is within the half circle clockwise from this on the ring. An Id is considered counter-clockwise from itself.

Parameters:

nid - The id to compare to

Returns:

true if clockwise, false otherwise.

addToId

Id addToId(Id.Distance offset)

Returns an Id corresponding to this Id plus a given distance

Parameters:

offset - the distance to add

Returns:

the new Id

distanceFromId

Id.Distance distanceFromId(Id nid)

Returns the shorter numerical distance on the ring between a pair of Ids.

Parameters:

nid - the other node id.

Returns:

the distance between this and nid.

longDistanceFromId

Id.Distance longDistanceFromId(Id nid)

Returns the longer numerical distance on the ring between a pair of Ids.

Parameters:

nid - the other node id.

Returns:

the distance between this and nid.

toByteArray

byte[] toByteArray()

Returns a (mutable) byte array representing this Id

Returns:

A byte[] representing this Id

toByteArray

void toByteArray(byte[] array,
                 int offset)

Stores the byte[] value of this Id in the provided byte array

getByteArrayLength

int getByteArrayLength()

Returns the length of the byte[] representing this Id

Returns:

The length of the byte[] representing this Id

toStringFull

java.lang.String toStringFull()

Returns a string representing the full length of this Id.

Returns:

A string with all of this Id

serialize

void serialize(OutputBuffer buf)
               throws java.io.IOException

Serialize

Parameters:

buf -

Throws:

java.io.IOException

getType

short getType()
