Interface Cursor

All Superinterfaces:

java.lang.Iterable<Row>

All Known Subinterfaces:

IndexCursor

All Known Implementing Classes:

CursorImpl, IndexCursorImpl, TableScanCursor

public interface Cursor
extends java.lang.Iterable<Row>

Manages iteration for a Table. Different cursors provide different methods of traversing a table. Cursors should be fairly robust in the face of table modification during traversal (although depending on how the table is traversed, row updates may or may not be seen). Multiple cursors may traverse the same table simultaneously.

Basic cursors will generally iterate table data in the order it appears in the database and searches will require scanning the entire table. Additional features are available when utilizing an Index backed IndexCursor.

The CursorBuilder provides a variety of static utility methods to construct cursors with given characteristics or easily search for specific values as well as friendly and flexible construction options.

A Cursor instance is not thread-safe (see Database for more thread-safety details).
