Package edu.caltech.nanodb.functions

Class MinMaxAggregate

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.lang.Cloneable
    Direct Known Subclasses:
    Max, Min
    public class MinMaxAggregate
extends AggregateFunction
    This aggregate function can be used to compute either the minimum or the maximum of a collection of values.

    • Field Summary

      Fields 
      Modifier and Type Field Description
      private int minimumSwitch
      This value is set to 1 if the aggregate function is computing the minimum value, or -1 if the aggregate function is computing the maximum value.
      private java.lang.Comparable result
      The actual result of the aggregate function, or null if the function hasn't been handed a non-NULL value yet.

    • Method Summary

      All Methods Instance Methods Concrete Methods 
      Modifier and Type Method Description
      void addValue​(java.lang.Object value)
      Adds a value to the aggregate function so that it can update its internal state.
      void clearResult()
      Clears the aggregate function's current state so that the object can be reused to compute an aggregate on another set of input values.
      java.lang.Object getResult()
      Returns the aggregated result computed for this aggregate function.
      ColumnType getReturnType​(java.util.List<Expression> args, Schema schema)
      Returns the column type of the resulting column after applying the function.

      • minimumSwitch

        private int minimumSwitch
        This value is set to 1 if the aggregate function is computing the minimum value, or -1 if the aggregate function is computing the maximum value. It is used to avoid having another conditional in the addValue(java.lang.Object) implementation.

      • result

        private java.lang.Comparable result
        The actual result of the aggregate function, or null if the function hasn't been handed a non-NULL value yet.

    • Method Detail

      • clearResult

        public void clearResult()
        Description copied from class: AggregateFunction
        Clears the aggregate function's current state so that the object can be reused to compute an aggregate on another set of input values.
        Specified by:
        clearResult in class AggregateFunction

      • addValue

        public void addValue​(java.lang.Object value)
        Description copied from class: AggregateFunction
        Adds a value to the aggregate function so that it can update its internal state. Generally, aggregate functions ignore null inputs (which represent SQL NULL values) when computing their results.
        Specified by:
        addValue in class AggregateFunction
        Parameters:
        value - the value to add to the aggregate function

      • getResult

        public java.lang.Object getResult()
        Description copied from class: AggregateFunction
        Returns the aggregated result computed for this aggregate function. Generally, if aggregate functions receive no non-null inputs then they should produce a null result. (COUNT is an exception to this rule, producing 0 in that case.)
        Specified by:
        getResult in class AggregateFunction
        Returns:
        the result of the aggregate computation.

      • getReturnType

        public ColumnType getReturnType​(java.util.List<Expression> args,
                                Schema schema)
        Description copied from class: ScalarFunction
        Returns the column type of the resulting column after applying the function. This generally depends on the column type of the inputs.
        Specified by:
        getReturnType in class ScalarFunction
        Parameters:
        args - the arguments to the function call
        schema - the schema of the table
        Returns:
        the column type of the resulting column
