Method Detail

bytes

public static BytesReference bytes(XContentBuilder xContentBuilder)

Convert an XContentBuilder into a BytesReference. This method closes the builder, so no further fields may be added.

get

public abstract byte get(int index)

Returns the byte at the specified index. Need to be between 0 and length.

length

public abstract int length()

The length.

slice

public abstract BytesReference slice(int from,
                                     int length)

Slice the bytes from the from index up to length.

streamInput

public StreamInput streamInput()
                        throws java.io.IOException

A stream input of the bytes.

Throws:

java.io.IOException

writeTo

public void writeTo(java.io.OutputStream os)
             throws java.io.IOException

Writes the bytes directly to the output stream.

Throws:

java.io.IOException

utf8ToString

public java.lang.String utf8ToString()

Interprets the referenced bytes as UTF8 bytes, returning the resulting string

toBytesRef

public abstract org.apache.lucene.util.BytesRef toBytesRef()

Converts to Lucene BytesRef.

iterator

public org.apache.lucene.util.BytesRefIterator iterator()

Returns a BytesRefIterator for this BytesReference. This method allows access to the internal pages of this reference without copying them. Use with care!

BytesRefIterator

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object other)

Overrides:

equals in class java.lang.Object

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Overrides:

hashCode in class java.lang.Object

toBytes

public static byte[] toBytes(BytesReference reference)

Returns a compact array from the given BytesReference. The returned array won't be copied unless necessary. If you need to modify the returned array use BytesRef.deepCopyOf(reference.toBytesRef() instead

compareTo

public int compareTo(BytesReference other)

Specified by:

compareTo in interface java.lang.Comparable<BytesReference>

toXContent

public XContentBuilder toXContent(XContentBuilder builder,
                                  ToXContent.Params params)
                           throws java.io.IOException

Specified by:

toXContent in interface ToXContent

Throws:

java.io.IOException
