Class CompressionFlags

java.lang.Object
  it.unimi.di.mg4j.index.CompressionFlags

public class CompressionFlags
extends Object

A container for constants and enums related to index compression.

Several MG4J index-related methods require a set of flags specified as a flag map, that is, an EnumMap from components to codings (see, e.g., BitStreamIndexWriter). For the special component CompressionFlags.Component.PAYLOADS, the only admissible value is null.

Besides declaring the necessary enums, this class contains a parsing method that turns an array of the form component:coding into a flag map.

Since:

1.2

Nested Class Summary

static class	CompressionFlags.Coding A coding for an index component.
static class	CompressionFlags.Component A component of the index.

static Map<CompressionFlags.Component,CompressionFlags.Coding>	DEFAULT_QUASI_SUCCINCT_INDEX An unmodifiable map representing the default flags for a quasi-succinct index.
static Map<CompressionFlags.Component,CompressionFlags.Coding>	DEFAULT_STANDARD_INDEX An unmodifiable map representing the default flags for a standard index.
static String	NONE A string used by valueOf(String[], Map) to disable a component.

Method Detail

valueOf

public static Map<CompressionFlags.Component,CompressionFlags.Coding> valueOf(String[] flag,
                                                                              Map<CompressionFlags.Component,CompressionFlags.Coding> defaultMap)

Returns a flag map corresponding to a given array of strings.

This method takes an array of (possibly untrimmed) flag strings of the form component:coding and turns them into a flag map (see the introduction). The flag map can be initialised by an optional default map, and the special value NONE for coding may be used to delete a key (the corresponding key in the flag map will be missing).

It is acceptable that strings in the array have whitespace around.

Parameters:

flag - an array of (possibly untrimmed) flag strings of the form component:coding.

defaultMap - a optional flag map of default values, or null.

Returns:

the corresponding flag map.
