Constructor Detail

SemanticDistanceModel.Segment

public SemanticDistanceModel.Segment(QuickSerializable type,
                                     SemanticDistanceModel.BoundedPrioQueue queue,
                                     Distance age,
                                     int clients)

SemanticDistanceModel.Segment

public SemanticDistanceModel.Segment(InputBuffer buffer)
                              throws QSException

Constructs a Segment from its serialized form.

Method Detail

id

public QuickSerializable id()

Description copied from interface: SegmentedModel.Segment

Returns the unique ID for this Segment. This ID serves as the only key identifying a Segment - Segment.equals should never be called. (Segment.id()).equals and (Segment.id()).hashCode, however, may be called quite often. Avoid using QuickSerializable IDs for which those methods are expensive.

Specified by:

id in interface SegmentedModel.Segment

Returns:

the unique ID for this Segment.

getQueue

protected SemanticDistanceModel.BoundedPrioQueue getQueue()

Get the queue of distances.

getAge

protected Distance getAge()

Get the age

getClients

protected int getClients()

Get the number of clients represented

serialize

public void serialize(OutputBuffer buffer)

Description copied from interface: QuickSerializable

Add the object to the buffer.

Specified by:

serialize in interface QuickSerializable

Parameters:

buffer - the output buffer to add the object to

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Object
