Interface IlvClusterId

All Known Implementing Classes:

IlvAbstractClusterId, IlvColumnValueClusterId, IlvDateClusterId, IlvIntervalClusterId, IlvPathClusterId, IlvStringClusterId

public interface IlvClusterId

This interface presents an object that describes a group (cluster) of objects that have some common properties or are nearby to each other in some sense.

IlvClusterId instances distinguish groups of objects with different properties.

The details of this object depend on the partitioner that has produced this object.

Classes that implement this interface should also define equals and hashCode (used to partition sets of objects into clusters), preferably also implement Comparable (used to sort the clusters) and must define toString (used to display clusters).

Since:

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
boolean	equals(Object other) Compares this object to another object.
int	hashCode() Returns a hash code that is compatible with equals().

Method Detail

equals

boolean equals(Object other)

Compares this object to another object. This comparison should compare only the properties that are particular to the group of objects represented by this cluster. It is guaranteed that this object will only be compared to IlvClusterIds produced by the same IlvClassifier.

Overrides:

equals in class Object

hashCode

int hashCode()

Returns a hash code that is compatible with equals(). This should only use properties that are particular to the group of objects represented by this cluster.

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object
