## com.sleepycat.collections
Class StoredCollection

    java.lang.Object
      com.sleepycat.collections.StoredContainer
          com.sleepycat.collections.StoredCollection

All Implemented Interfaces:
  Cloneable, Iterable, Collection

Direct Known Subclasses:
  StoredEntrySet, StoredKeySet, StoredList, StoredValueSet

    public abstract class StoredCollection

extends StoredContainer
implements Collection

A abstract base class for all stored collections. This class, and its base class `StoredContainer`, provide implementations of most methods in the `Collection` interface. Other methods, such as `add(java.lang.Object, java.lang.Object)` and `Collection.remove(java.lang.Object)`, are provided by concrete classes that extend this class.

In addition, this class provides the following methods for stored collections only. Note that the use of these methods is not compatible with the standard Java collections interface.

- `getIteratorBlockSize()`
- `setIteratorBlockSize(int)`
- `storedIterator()`
- `storedIterator(boolean)`
- `join(com.sleepycat.collections.StoredContainer[], java.lang.Object[], com.sleepycat.db.JoinConfig)`
- `toList()`

Field Summary
`static int` | `DEFAULT_ITERATOR_BLOCK_SIZE` The default number of records read at one time by iterators.

Method Summary
`boolean` | `addAll(Collection coll)` Adds all of the elements in the specified collection to this collection (optional operation).
`boolean` | `containsAll(Collection coll)` Returns true if this collection contains all of the elements in the specified collection.
`boolean` | `equals(Object other)` Compares the specified object with this collection for equality.
`int` | `getIteratorBlockSize()` Returns the number of records read at one time by iterators returned by the `iterator()` method.
`int` | `hashCode()`
`Iterator` | `iterator()` Returns an iterator over the elements in this collection.
`StoredIterator` | `iterator(boolean writeAllowed)` Deprecated. Please use `storedIterator()` or `storedIterator(boolean)` instead. Because the iterator returned must be closed, the method name `iterator` is confusing since standard Java iterators do not need to be closed.
`StoredIterator` | `join(StoredContainer[] indices, Object[] indexKeys, JoinConfig joinConfig)` Returns an iterator representing an equality join of the indices and index key values specified.
`boolean` | `removeAll(Collection coll)` Removes all this collection's elements that are also contained in the specified collection (optional operation).
`boolean` | `retainAll(Collection coll)` Retains only the elements in this collection that are contained in the specified collection (optional operation).
`void` | `setIteratorBlockSize(int blockSize)` Changes the number of records read at one time by iterators returned by the `iterator()` method.
`int` | `size()` Returns a non-transactional count of the records in the collection or map.
`StoredIterator` | `storedIterator()` Returns an iterator over the elements in this collection.
`StoredIterator` | `storedIterator(boolean writeAllowed)` Returns a read or read-write iterator over the elements in this collection.
`Object[]` | `toArray()` Returns an array of all the elements in this collection.
`Object[]` | `toArray(Object[] a)` Returns an array of all the elements in this collection whose runtime type is that of the specified array.
`List` | `toList()` Returns a copy of this collection as an ArrayList.
`String` | `toString()` Converts the collection to a string representation for debugging.

Field Detail

### DEFAULT_ITERATOR_BLOCK_SIZE

    public static final int DEFAULT_ITERATOR_BLOCK_SIZE

  The default number of records read at one time by iterators.

  See Also:
    `setIteratorBlockSize(int)`, Constant Field Values

Method Detail

### getIteratorBlockSize

    public int getIteratorBlockSize()

  Returns the number of records read at one time by iterators returned by the `iterator()` method. By default this value is `DEFAULT_ITERATOR_BLOCK_SIZE`.

### setIteratorBlockSize

    public void setIteratorBlockSize(int blockSize)

  Changes the number of records read at one time by iterators returned by the `iterator()` method. By default this value is `DEFAULT_ITERATOR_BLOCK_SIZE`.

  Throws:
    `IllegalArgumentException` - if the blockSize is less than two.

### iterator

    public Iterator iterator()

  Returns an iterator over the elements in this collection. The iterator will be read-only if the collection is read-only. This method conforms to the `Collection.iterator()` interface.

  The iterator returned by this method does not keep a database cursor open and therefore it does not need to be closed. It reads blocks of records as needed, opening and closing a cursor to read each block of records. The number of records per block is 10 by default and can be changed with `setIteratorBlockSize(int)`.

  Because this iterator does not keep a cursor open, if it is used without transactions, the iterator does not have cursor stability characteristics. In other words, the record at the current iterator position can be changed or deleted by another thread. To prevent this from happening, call this method within a transaction or use the `storedIterator()` method instead.

  Specified by:
    `iterator` in interface `Iterable`
  Specified by:
    `iterator` in interface `Collection`
  Returns:
    a standard `Iterator` for this collection.
  See Also:
    `StoredContainer.isWriteAllowed()`

### storedIterator

    public StoredIterator storedIterator()

  Returns an iterator over the elements in this collection. The iterator will be read-only if the collection is read-only. This method does not exist in the standard `Collection` interface.

  If `Iterator.set` or `Iterator.remove` will be called and the underlying Database is transactional, then a transaction must be active when calling this method and must remain active while using the iterator.

  Warning: The iterator returned must be explicitly closed using `StoredIterator.close()` or `StoredIterator.close(java.util.Iterator)` to release the underlying database cursor resources.

  Returns:
    a `StoredIterator` for this collection.
  See Also:
    `StoredContainer.isWriteAllowed()`

### storedIterator

    public StoredIterator storedIterator(boolean writeAllowed)

  Returns a read or read-write iterator over the elements in this collection. This method does not exist in the standard `Collection` interface.

  If `Iterator.set` or `Iterator.remove` will be called and the underlying Database is transactional, then a transaction must be active when calling this method and must remain active while using the iterator.

  Warning: The iterator returned must be explicitly closed using `StoredIterator.close()` or `StoredIterator.close(java.util.Iterator)` to release the underlying database cursor resources.

  Parameters:
    `writeAllowed` - is true to open a read-write iterator or false to open a read-only iterator. If the collection is read-only the iterator will always be read-only.
  Returns:
    a `StoredIterator` for this collection.
  Throws:
    `IllegalStateException` - if writeAllowed is true but the collection is read-only.
    `RuntimeExceptionWrapper` - if a `DatabaseException` is thrown.
  See Also:
    `StoredContainer.isWriteAllowed()`

### iterator

    public StoredIterator iterator(boolean writeAllowed)

  Deprecated. Please use `storedIterator()` or `storedIterator(boolean)` instead. Because the iterator returned must be closed, the method name `iterator` is confusing since standard Java iterators do not need to be closed.

### toArray

    public Object[] toArray()

  Returns an array of all the elements in this collection. This method conforms to the `Collection.toArray()` interface.

  Specified by:
    `toArray` in interface `Collection`
  Throws:
    `RuntimeExceptionWrapper` - if a `DatabaseException` is thrown.

### toArray

    public Object[] toArray(Object[] a)

  Returns an array of all the elements in this collection whose runtime type is that of the specified array. This method conforms to the `Collection.toArray(Object[])` interface.

  Specified by:
    `toArray` in interface `Collection`
  Throws:
    `RuntimeExceptionWrapper` - if a `DatabaseException` is thrown.

### containsAll

    public boolean containsAll(Collection coll)

  Returns true if this collection contains all of the elements in the specified collection. This method conforms to the `Collection.containsAll(java.util.Collection)` interface.

  Specified by:
    `containsAll` in interface `Collection`
  Throws:
    `RuntimeExceptionWrapper` - if a `DatabaseException` is thrown.

### addAll

    public boolean addAll(Collection coll)

  Adds all of the elements in the specified collection to this collection (optional operation). This method calls the `Collection.add(Object)` method of the concrete collection class, which may or may not be supported. This method conforms to the `Collection.addAll(java.util.Collection)` interface.

  Specified by:
    `addAll` in interface `Collection`
  Throws:
    `UnsupportedOperationException` - if the collection is read-only, or if the collection is indexed, or if the add method is not supported by the concrete collection.
    `RuntimeExceptionWrapper` - if a `DatabaseException` is thrown.

### removeAll

    public boolean removeAll(Collection coll)

  Removes all this collection's elements that are also contained in the specified collection (optional operation). This method conforms to the `Collection.removeAll(java.util.Collection)` interface.

  Specified by:
    `removeAll` in interface `Collection`
  Throws:
    `UnsupportedOperationException` - if the collection is read-only.
    `RuntimeExceptionWrapper` - if a `DatabaseException` is thrown.

### retainAll

    public boolean retainAll(Collection coll)

  Retains only the elements in this collection that are contained in the specified collection (optional operation). This method conforms to the `Collection.removeAll(java.util.Collection)` interface.

  Specified by:
    `retainAll` in interface `Collection`
  Throws:
    `UnsupportedOperationException` - if the collection is read-only.
    `RuntimeExceptionWrapper` - if a `DatabaseException` is thrown.

### equals

    public boolean equals(Object other)

  Compares the specified object with this collection for equality. A value comparison is performed by this method and the stored values are compared rather than calling the equals() method of each element. This method conforms to the `Collection.equals(java.lang.Object)` interface.

  Specified by:
    `equals` in interface `Collection`
  Overrides:
    `equals` in class `Object`
  Throws:
    `RuntimeExceptionWrapper` - if a `DatabaseException` is thrown.

### hashCode

    public int hashCode()

  Specified by:
    `hashCode` in interface `Collection`
  Overrides:
    `hashCode` in class `Object`

### toList

    public List toList()

  Returns a copy of this collection as an ArrayList. This is the same as `toArray()` but returns a collection instead of an array.

  Returns:
    an `ArrayList` containing a copy of all elements in this collection.
  Throws:
    `RuntimeExceptionWrapper` - if a `DatabaseException` is thrown.

### toString

    public String toString()

  Converts the collection to a string representation for debugging. WARNING: The returned string may be very large.

  Overrides:
    `toString` in class `Object`
  Returns:
    the string representation.
  Throws:
    `RuntimeExceptionWrapper` - if a `DatabaseException` is thrown.

### size

    public int size()

  Description copied from class: `StoredContainer`
  Returns a non-transactional count of the records in the collection or map. This method conforms to the `Collection.size()` and `Map.size()` interfaces.

  Specified by:
    `size` in interface `Collection`
  Specified by:
    `size` in class `StoredContainer`

### join

    public StoredIterator join(StoredContainer[] indices,
                               Object[] indexKeys,
                               JoinConfig joinConfig)

  Returns an iterator representing an equality join of the indices and index key values specified. This method does not exist in the standard `Collection` interface.

  Warning: The iterator returned must be explicitly closed using `StoredIterator.close()` or `StoredIterator.close(java.util.Iterator)` to release the underlying database cursor resources.

  The returned iterator supports only the two methods: hasNext() and next(). All other methods will throw UnsupportedOperationException.

  Parameters:
    `indices` - is an array of indices with elements corresponding to those in the indexKeys array.
    `indexKeys` - is an array of index key values identifying the elements to be selected.
    `joinConfig` - is the join configuration, or null to use the default configuration.
  Returns:
    an iterator over the elements in this collection that match all specified index key values.
  Throws:
    `IllegalArgumentException` - if this collection is indexed or if a given index does not have the same store as this collection.
    `RuntimeExceptionWrapper` - if a `DatabaseException` is thrown.
