Class Metadata

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Copyable<Metadata>, java.lang.Iterable<MetaProperty<java.lang.Object>>

    public final class Metadata
    extends java.lang.Object
    implements Copyable<Metadata>, java.lang.Iterable<MetaProperty<java.lang.Object>>
    Mapping from Stardog meta properties to values. Similar to a standard Map but with some key differences. This class does not allow null options to be used as keys. The get(MetaProperty) function may return a value even though an option is not contained in the map explicitly. In such cases the default value of the option is returned.

      • iterator

        public java.util.Iterator<MetaProperty<java.lang.Object>> iterator()
        Specified by:
        iterator in interface java.lang.Iterable<MetaProperty<java.lang.Object>>
      • copy

        public Metadata copy()
        Creates a copy of the StardogOptions instance. The copy can be updated freely without affecting this map.
        Specified by:
        copy in interface Copyable<Metadata>
        Returns:
        a copy of the object
      • immutable

        public Metadata immutable()
        Creates an immutable shallow copy of the StardogOptions instance. The result is a shallow copy so updating the original metadata values will affect the immutable copy. If this needs to be avoided aMetadata.copy().immutable() can be used.
        Returns:
        a new map instance that will throw exceptions on modification function
      • empty

        public static Metadata empty()
        Creates a new empty immutable StardogOptions instance.
      • of

        public static <V> Metadata of​(MetaProperty<V> key,
                                      V value)
        Creates an immutable metadata instance with the given single mapping.
      • create

        public static Metadata create()
        Creates a new empty mutable StardogOptions instance.
      • contains

        public <V> boolean contains​(MetaProperty<V> option)
        Returns true if this collection contains an explicit value for the specified option.
      • get

        public <V> V get​(MetaProperty<V> option)
        Returns the value associated with the given property or the default value of the property if there is no associated value. The default value for an option might be null so there are cases this function will return a null value. Must be used with care in autoboxing.

        is(MetaProperty)
      • get

        public <V> V get​(MetaProperty<V> option,
                         OptionFunction theDefaultValues)
        Returns the value associated with the given property in this metadata, if that does not exist looks up for a value in the given theDefaultProperties and iof that does not exist either, return the default value of the property.
      • is

        public boolean is​(MetaProperty<java.lang.Boolean> option)
        Returns the value associated with the given boolean option or the default value of the option if there is no associated value and the default value is not null or false otherwise. This function serves the same purpose as get but treats null values as false. It is a safe alternative to avoid NullPointerException during auto-unboxing for boolean properties.
      • set

        public <V> Metadata set​(MetaProperty<V> option,
                                V value)
        Associate the given value with the given option overriding any previous value.
        Returns:
        a reference to this map to allow method chaining
      • setAll

        public <V> Metadata setAll​(Metadata theOtherMap)
        Copies all of the option value mappings from the specified map to this map overriding Sets all the options in the given map the given option overriding any previous value .
        Returns:
        a reference to this map to allow method chaining
      • remove

        public <V> V remove​(MetaProperty<V> option)
        Removes any previous value associated with this option.
        Returns:
        the previous value associated with this value in the map or the default value of the option if the option value was not set in the map
      • clear
