Enum Constant Detail

NOT_COMPARABLE

public static final AbstractType.ComparisonType NOT_COMPARABLE

This type should never be compared

BYTE_ORDER

public static final AbstractType.ComparisonType BYTE_ORDER

This type is always compared by its sequence of unsigned bytes

CUSTOM

public static final AbstractType.ComparisonType CUSTOM

This type can only be compared by calling the type's compareCustom() method, which may be expensive. Support for this may be removed in a major release of Cassandra, however upgrade facilities will be provided if and when this happens.

Method Detail

values

public static AbstractType.ComparisonType[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (AbstractType.ComparisonType c : AbstractType.ComparisonType.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static AbstractType.ComparisonType valueOf(java.lang.String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

java.lang.NullPointerException - if the argument is null
