org.bluedb.api.keys.ValueKey

org.bluedb.api.keys.HashGroupedKey<java.lang.String>

org.bluedb.api.keys.StringKey

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Comparable<BlueKey>, BlueKey

public final class StringKey
extends HashGroupedKey<java.lang.String>

A key that can be mapped to a value in a BlueCollection or BlueIndex. The hashcode of these keys is used to determine the location of the corresponding values on disk. Collections with this type of key will be unordered and if the hash is good then they will be spread fairly evenly across the collection segments. This means that there will be few collisions and high i-node usage.
