Prerequisite

VirtualColumnEngine

Etymology

ForwardColumnIndexedRowEngine is a virtual column engine which forwards the gets and puts of columns to corresponding columns in another table. Furthermore it maps the row number by indexing the row number in the referenced table.

Synopsis

ForwardColumnIndexedRowEngine is a data manager which forwards the gets and puts of columns to columns with the same names in another table. In that sense it is the same as the virtual column engine

ForwardColumnEngine. However, it also forwards the row number. That is, it uses a column containing row numbers to index the correct row in the referenced table. The name of this column and the name of the referenced table have to be given when constructing the engine.

For example:
Table TABA contains columns A, B and C and consists of N rows. Table TABF uses ForwardColumnIndexedRowEngine to forward its columns A, B and C to the corresponding columns in TABA. Furthermore it contains a column ROW containing row numbers in TABA. This column is the mapping of row numbers in TABF to rows in TABA. E.g. if ROW has the value 25 in row 10, row 10 of TABF is forwarded to row 25 in TABA.

Actually, puts are not possible. When multiple rows map to the same row in the referenced table, putting a value in one row would also change the value in another row referencing the same underlying row. This could result in unexpected behaviour.

The engine consists of a set of

ForwardColumnIndexedRow objects, which handle the actual gets.

Motivation

In some ways it overlaps the functionality of the storage manager StManMirAIO. They both allow to have the same value used by multiple rows. However, StManMirAIO only allows that for consecutive rows, while this engine allows it for any row. On the other side, StManMirAIO is faster.

Example

// The original table.
Table tab("someTable");
// Create another table with the same description.
SetupNewTable newtab("tForwardColRow.data", tab.tableDesc(), Table::New);
// Create an engine which forwards to the original table and uses
// column rowColumn to get the row number in the referenced table.
// Bind all columns in the new table to the forwarding engine.
ForwardColumnIndexedRowEngine fce(tab, "rowColumn");
newtab.bindAll (fce);
// Create the new table.
// Every get and put on this table is forwarded to the original table.
// NB. Puts cannot be done here, because the original table was
//     opened as readonly.
// Of course, some columns could have been bound to another
// data manager (storage manager, calibration engine,...).
Table forwTab(newtab);

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

casacore::ForwardColumnIndexedRowEngine::ForwardColumnIndexedRowEngine	(	const String &	dataManagerName,
		const Record &	spec
	)

The default constructor is required for reconstruction of the engine when a table is read back.

casacore::ForwardColumnIndexedRowEngine::ForwardColumnIndexedRowEngine	(	const Table &	referencedTable,
		const String &	rowColumnName,
		const String &	dataManagerName
	)

Create the engine.

The columns using this engine will reference the given table. The column with the given name contains the row number mapping, i.e. a row number in a get or put is converted to a row number in the referenced table using the value in this column. The data manager gets the given name.

casacore::ForwardColumnIndexedRowEngine::ForwardColumnIndexedRowEngine	(	const Table &	referencedTable,
		const String &	rowColumnName
	)

Create the engine.

The columns using this engine will reference the given table. The column with the given name contains the row number mapping, i.e. a row number in a get or put is converted to a row number in the referenced table using the value in this column. The data manager has no name.

casacore::ForwardColumnIndexedRowEngine::~ForwardColumnIndexedRowEngine ( )

Destructor is mandatory.

casacore::ForwardColumnIndexedRowEngine::ForwardColumnIndexedRowEngine ( const ForwardColumnIndexedRowEngine & )

private

The copy constructor is forbidden (so it is private).

Member Function Documentation

static String casacore::ForwardColumnIndexedRowEngine::className ( )

static

Return the name of the class.

DataManager* casacore::ForwardColumnIndexedRowEngine::clone ( ) const

virtual

Clone the engine object.

rownr_t casacore::ForwardColumnIndexedRowEngine::convertRownr ( rownr_t rownr )

inline

Convert the rownr to the rownr in the underlying table.

void casacore::ForwardColumnIndexedRowEngine::create64 ( rownr_t initialNrrow )

privatevirtual

Initialize the object for a new table.

It defines the column keywords containing the name of the original table, which can be the parent of the referenced table. It also defines a keyword containing the row column name.

Reimplemented from casacore::ForwardColumnEngine.

virtual Record casacore::ForwardColumnIndexedRowEngine::dataManagerSpec ( ) const

virtual

Record a record containing data manager specifications.

Reimplemented from casacore::ForwardColumnEngine.

String casacore::ForwardColumnIndexedRowEngine::dataManagerType ( ) const

virtual

Return the type name of the engine (i.e.

its class name ForwardColumnIndexedRowEngine).

Reimplemented from casacore::ForwardColumnEngine.

DataManagerColumn* casacore::ForwardColumnIndexedRowEngine::makeIndArrColumn	(	const String &	columnName,
		int	dataType,
		const String &	dataTypeId
	)

privatevirtual

Create the column object for the indirect array column in this engine.

Reimplemented from casacore::ForwardColumnEngine.

static DataManager* casacore::ForwardColumnIndexedRowEngine::makeObject	(	const String &	dataManagerName,
		const Record &	spec
	)

static

Define the "constructor" to construct this engine when a table is read back.

This "constructor" has to be registered by the user of the engine. If the engine is commonly used, its registration can be added into the registerAllCtor function in DataManReg.cc. This function gets automatically invoked by the table system.

DataManagerColumn* casacore::ForwardColumnIndexedRowEngine::makeScalarColumn	(	const String &	columnName,
		int	dataType,
		const String &	dataTypeId
	)

privatevirtual

Create the column object for the scalar column in this engine.

Reimplemented from casacore::ForwardColumnEngine.

ForwardColumnIndexedRowEngine& casacore::ForwardColumnIndexedRowEngine::operator= ( const ForwardColumnIndexedRowEngine & )

private

Assignment is forbidden (so it is private).

void casacore::ForwardColumnIndexedRowEngine::prepare ( )

privatevirtual

Initialize the engine.

It gets the name of the original table(s) from the column keywords, opens those tables and attaches the ForwardColumnIndexedRow objects to the columns in those tables.

Reimplemented from casacore::ForwardColumnEngine.

static void casacore::ForwardColumnIndexedRowEngine::registerClass ( )

static

Register the class name and the static makeObject "constructor".

This will make the engine known to the table system.

void casacore::ForwardColumnIndexedRowEngine::reopenRW ( )

privatevirtual

Reopen the engine for read/write access.

This cannot be done, so all columns remain readonly. The function is needed to override the behaviour of its base class.

Reimplemented from casacore::ForwardColumnEngine.
