## org.apache.cassandra.db
Class Column

    java.lang.Object
      org.apache.cassandra.db.Column

All Implemented Interfaces:
  IColumn

Direct Known Subclasses:
  CounterColumn, CounterUpdateColumn, DeletedColumn, ExpiringColumn

    public class Column

extends java.lang.Object
implements IColumn

Column is immutable, which prevents all kinds of confusion in a multithreaded environment. (TODO: look at making SuperColumn immutable too. This is trickier but is probably doable with something like PCollections -- http://code.google.com

Field Detail

### name

    protected final java.nio.ByteBuffer name

### value

    protected final java.nio.ByteBuffer value

### timestamp

    protected final long timestamp

Constructor Detail

### Column

    public Column(java.nio.ByteBuffer name,
                  java.nio.ByteBuffer value)

### Column

    public Column(java.nio.ByteBuffer name,
                  java.nio.ByteBuffer value,
                  long timestamp)

Method Detail

### serializer

    public static ColumnSerializer serializer()

### name

    public java.nio.ByteBuffer name()

  Specified by:
    `name` in interface `IColumn`

### getSubColumn

    public Column getSubColumn(java.nio.ByteBuffer columnName)

  Specified by:
    `getSubColumn` in interface `IColumn`

### value

    public java.nio.ByteBuffer value()

  Specified by:
    `value` in interface `IColumn`

### getSubColumns

    public java.util.Collection<IColumn> getSubColumns()

  Specified by:
    `getSubColumns` in interface `IColumn`

### timestamp

    public long timestamp()

  Specified by:
    `timestamp` in interface `IColumn`

### maxTimestamp

    public long maxTimestamp()

  Description copied from interface: `IColumn`
  For a standard column, this is the same as timestamp(). For a super column, this is the max column timestamp of the sub columns.

  Specified by:
    `maxTimestamp` in interface `IColumn`

### isMarkedForDelete

    public boolean isMarkedForDelete()

  Specified by:
    `isMarkedForDelete` in interface `IColumn`
  Returns:
    true if the column has been deleted (is a tombstone). This depends on comparing the server clock with getLocalDeletionTime, so it can change during a single request if you're not careful.

### getMarkedForDeleteAt

    public long getMarkedForDeleteAt()

  Specified by:
    `getMarkedForDeleteAt` in interface `IColumn`

### mostRecentLiveChangeAt

    public long mostRecentLiveChangeAt()

  Specified by:
    `mostRecentLiveChangeAt` in interface `IColumn`

### mostRecentNonGCableChangeAt

    public long mostRecentNonGCableChangeAt(int gcbefore)

  Specified by:
    `mostRecentNonGCableChangeAt` in interface `IColumn`

### size

    public int size()

  Specified by:
    `size` in interface `IColumn`

### serializedSize

    public int serializedSize()

  Specified by:
    `serializedSize` in interface `IColumn`

### serializationFlags

    public int serializationFlags()

  Specified by:
    `serializationFlags` in interface `IColumn`

### addColumn

    public void addColumn(IColumn column)

  Specified by:
    `addColumn` in interface `IColumn`

### addColumn

    public void addColumn(IColumn column,
                          Allocator allocator)

  Specified by:
    `addColumn` in interface `IColumn`

### diff

    public IColumn diff(IColumn column)

  Specified by:
    `diff` in interface `IColumn`

### updateDigest

    public void updateDigest(java.security.MessageDigest digest)

  Specified by:
    `updateDigest` in interface `IColumn`

### getLocalDeletionTime

    public int getLocalDeletionTime()

  Specified by:
    `getLocalDeletionTime` in interface `IColumn`

### reconcile

    public IColumn reconcile(IColumn column)

  Specified by:
    `reconcile` in interface `IColumn`

### reconcile

    public IColumn reconcile(IColumn column,
                             Allocator allocator)

  Specified by:
    `reconcile` in interface `IColumn`

### equals

    public boolean equals(java.lang.Object o)

  Overrides:
    `equals` in class `java.lang.Object`

### hashCode

    public int hashCode()

  Overrides:
    `hashCode` in class `java.lang.Object`

### localCopy

    public IColumn localCopy(ColumnFamilyStore cfs)

  Description copied from interface: `IColumn`
  clones the column for the row cache, interning column names and making copies of other underlying byte buffers

  Specified by:
    `localCopy` in interface `IColumn`

### localCopy

    public IColumn localCopy(ColumnFamilyStore cfs,
                             Allocator allocator)

  Description copied from interface: `IColumn`
  clones the column for the memtable, interning column names and making copies of other underlying byte buffers. Unlike the other localCopy, this uses Allocator to allocate values in contiguous memory regions, which helps avoid heap fragmentation.

  Specified by:
    `localCopy` in interface `IColumn`

### getString

    public java.lang.String getString(AbstractType<?> comparator)

  Specified by:
    `getString` in interface `IColumn`

### isLive

    public boolean isLive()

  Description copied from interface: `IColumn`
  For a simple column, live == !isMarkedForDelete. For a supercolumn, live means it has at least one subcolumn whose timestamp is greater than the supercolumn deleted-at time.

  Specified by:
    `isLive` in interface `IColumn`

### validateName

    protected void validateName(CFMetaData metadata)
                         throws MarshalException

  Throws:
    `MarshalException`

### validateFields

    public void validateFields(CFMetaData metadata)
                        throws MarshalException

  Specified by:
    `validateFields` in interface `IColumn`

    public static Column create(java.lang.String value,
                                long timestamp,

### create

    public static Column create(int value,
                                long timestamp,
                                java.lang.String... names)

### create

    public static Column create(boolean value,
                                long timestamp,
