ValueType values

Valid values of value_type in formated_value:

VT_DOUBLE = 0x1
VT_BOOLEAN = 0x2

Checksum calculation

The checksum is calculated based on the following basic logic:

• The name, value, type, and timestamp of each cell is calculated.
• The delete mark of each row is calculated. A byte of 1 is added for each row that has a delete mark. A byte of 0 is added for each row that does not have a delete mark.
• After the checksum is calculated for each cell in a row, these cell checksums are used to calculate the row checksum. The CRC is performed only on the cells in the row, instead of data in the row.

public static byte getChecksum(byte crc, PlainBufferCell cell) throws IOException {

    if (cell.hasCellName()) {
        crc = crc8(crc, cell.getNameRawData());
    }

    if (cell.hasCellValue()) {
        if (cell.isPk()) {
            crc = cell.getPkCellValue().getChecksum(crc);
        } else {
            crc = cell.getCellValue().getChecksum(crc);
        }
    }

    if (cell.hasCellTimestamp()) {
        crc = crc8(crc, cell.getCellTimestamp());
    }

    if (cell.hasCellType()) {
        crc = crc8(crc, cell.getCellType());
    }

    return crc;
}

public static byte getChecksum(byte crc, PlainBufferRow row) throws IOException {
    for (PlainBufferCell cell : row.getPrimaryKey()) {
        crc = crc8(crc, cell.getChecksum());
    }

    for (PlainBufferCell cell : row.getCells()) {
        crc = crc8(crc, cell.getChecksum());
    }

    byte del = 0;
    if (row.hasDeleteMarker()) {
        del = (byte)0x1;
    }
    crc = crc8(crc, del);

    return crc;
}
            

Example

A row contains two primary key columns and four attribute columns. The data types of the primary key columns are string and integer, while the data types in the attribute columns are string, integer, and double. The versions are 1001, 1002, and 1003. The fourth attribute column indicates whether to delete all versions.

• Primary key columns:
  • [pk1:string:iampk]
  • [pk2:integer:100]
• Attribute columns:
  • [column1:string:bad:1001]
  • [column2:integer:128:1002]
  • [column3:double:34.2:1003]
  • [column4:del_all_versions]
