Class NFBuildGraph

java.lang.Object
  com.netflix.nfgraph.NFGraph
      com.netflix.nfgraph.build.NFBuildGraph

public class NFBuildGraph
extends NFGraph

An NFBuildGraph is used to create a new graph. This representation of the graph data is not especially memory-efficient, and is intended to exist only for a short time while the NFGraph is being populated.

Once the graph is completely populated, it is expected that this NFBuildGraph will be exchanged for a memory-efficient, read-only NFCompressedGraph via the compress() method.

See NFGraph for an example of code which creates and populates an NFBuildGraph

NFBuildGraph(NFGraphSpec graphSpec)

Method Summary

void	addConnection(java.lang.String nodeType, int fromOrdinal, java.lang.String viaProperty, int toOrdinal) Add a connection to this graph.
void	addConnection(java.lang.String connectionModel, java.lang.String nodeType, int fromOrdinal, java.lang.String viaPropertyName, int toOrdinal) Add a connection to this graph.
void	addConnectionModel(java.lang.String connectionModel) Add a connection model, identified by the parameter connectionModel to this graph. Building the graph may be much more efficient if each connection model is added to the graph with this method prior to adding any connections. This operation is not necessary, but may make building the graph more efficient.
NFCompressedGraph	compress() Return a NFCompressedGraph containing all connections which have been added to this NFBuildGraph.

                            java.lang.String nodeType,
                            int ordinal,

getConnectionIterator

protected OrdinalIterator getConnectionIterator(int connectionModelIndex,
                                                java.lang.String nodeType,
                                                int ordinal,
                                                java.lang.String propertyName)

Specified by:

getConnectionIterator in class NFGraph

getConnectionSet

protected OrdinalSet getConnectionSet(int connectionModelIndex,
                                      java.lang.String nodeType,
                                      int ordinal,
                                      java.lang.String propertyName)

Specified by:

addConnection

public void addConnection(java.lang.String nodeType,
                          int fromOrdinal,
                          java.lang.String viaProperty,
                          int toOrdinal)

Add a connection to this graph. The connection will be from the node identified by the given nodeType and fromOrdinal. The connection will be via the specified viaProperty in the NFNodeSpec for the given nodeType. The connection will be to the node identified by the given toOrdinal. The type of the to node is implied by the viaProperty.

addConnection

public void addConnection(java.lang.String connectionModel,
                          java.lang.String nodeType,
                          int fromOrdinal,
                          java.lang.String viaPropertyName,
                          int toOrdinal)

Add a connection to this graph. The connection will be in the given connection model. The connection will be from the node identified by the given nodeType and fromOrdinal. The connection will be via the specified viaProperty in the NFNodeSpec for the given nodeType. The connection will be to the node identified by the given toOrdinal. The type of the to node is implied by the viaProperty.

addConnectionModel

public void addConnectionModel(java.lang.String connectionModel)

Add a connection model, identified by the parameter connectionModel to this graph.

Building the graph may be much more efficient if each connection model is added to the graph with this method prior to adding any connections.

This operation is not necessary, but may make building the graph more efficient.

compress

public NFCompressedGraph compress()

Return a NFCompressedGraph containing all connections which have been added to this NFBuildGraph.
