Mario Pastorelli commented on ACCUMULO-4375: -------------------------------------------- I would also like to add {Range} methods working on bytes, do you want me to do it in this JIRA or should I open another one? > Add missing Key constructors taking array of bytes as argument > -------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: ACCUMULO-4375 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-4375 > Project: Accumulo > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: core > Reporter: Mario Pastorelli > Labels: newbie > Time Spent: 1h 20m > Remaining Estimate: 0h > > In my company we use {{Key}} built directly from {{byte[]}} instead of > {{Text}}. Currently {{Key}} has many constructors working with {{Text}} and > only few working with {{byte[]}}. You can still use the {{Text}}-based > constructor to create a {{Key}} from a {{byte[]}} by wrapping it into a > {{Text}}, but this requires to box a {{byte[]}} into {{Text}} without any > good reason. > I propose to add the missing {{byte[]}}-based {{Key}} constructors, which are: > {code:java} > Key(byte[] row) > Key(byte[] row, long ts) > Key(byte[] row, byte[] cf) > Key(byte[] row, byte[] cf, byte[] cq) > Key(byte[] row, byte[] cf, byte[] cq, byte[] cv) > Key(byte[] row, byte[] cf, byte[] cq, long ts) > Key(byte[] row, byte[] cf, byte[] cq, ColumnVisibility cv, long ts) > {code} > The new constructor should behave like the {{Text}}-based counterpart, for > instance: > {code:java} > byte[] row = new byte[] {0}; > assertEquals(new Key(row), new Key(new Text(row))); > {code} -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
