Method Detail

allocateNew

void allocateNew(long totalBytes,
                 int valueCount)

Allocate a new memory space for this vector. Must be called prior to using the ValueVector.

Parameters:

totalBytes - Desired size of the underlying data buffer.

valueCount - Number of values in the vector.

allocateNew

void allocateNew(int valueCount)

Allocate a new memory space for this vector. Must be called prior to using the ValueVector. The initial size in bytes is either default (or) reused from previous allocation

Parameters:

valueCount - Number of values in the vector.

getByteCapacity

int getByteCapacity()

Provide the maximum amount of variable width bytes that can be stored in this vector.

Returns:

the byte capacity of this vector

sizeOfValueBuffer

int sizeOfValueBuffer()

Provide the number of bytes contained in the valueBuffer.

Returns:

the number of bytes in valueBuffer.
