Reads
n = scale() values from the buffer at the given index and return them as a single
value in the user type. |

Inherited Methods
Public Methods
public abstract ByteDataBuffer applyTo (S buffer)
Apply this layout to the provided buffer.
The returned DataBuffer instance is simply a wrapper to the original buffer and does
not have a backing storage of his own.
Parameters
| buffer | the target buffer to apply this layout to |
|---|
Returns
- a buffer with this layout
public abstract byte readByte (S buffer, long index)
Reads n = scale() values from the buffer at the given index and return them as a byte.
Parameters
| buffer | the buffer to read from |
|---|---|
| index | position of the buffer to read in the buffer |
Returns
- the byte value

public abstract Byte readObject (S buffer, long index)
Reads n = scale() values from the buffer at the given index and return them as a single
value in the user type.
It is the responsibility of the implementors of this interface to read the value to be
converted from the given buffer, using the most appropriate method. For example, for a layout
that converting a single long to a BigInteger,
@Override
public BigInteger readObject(LongDataBuffer buffer, long index) {
return BigInteger.valueOf(buffer.getLong(index));
}
index indicates the
starting position of the sequence to be read from the buffer.Parameters
| buffer | the buffer to read from |
|---|---|
| index | position of the buffer to read in the buffer |
Returns
- the converted value
public abstract void writeByte (S buffer, byte value, long index)
Writes a byte into the buffer at the given index after converting it to the buffer type.
Parameters
| buffer | the buffer to write to |
|---|---|
| value | the byte to convert and write |
| index | index in the buffer where the converted value should be written |
