Method Detail

translateFromThriftCriteria

public static Criteria translateFromThriftCriteria(TCriteria tcriteria)

Translate the tcriteria to its Java analog, with each value symbol prepared for round-tripping through CCL text.

The returned Criteria is suitable for emission via Criteria.ccl() followed by re-parsing: any value whose original TSymbol was wrapped in quotes to escape a CCL keyword retains those quotes so the re-parse interprets it as a literal rather than misreading the bare word as syntax. Callers that need a raw inverse of translateToThriftCriteria(Criteria) for direct AST construction should translate each TSymbol individually with translateFromThriftSymbol(TSymbol).

Parameters:

tcriteria -

Returns:

the analogous Java Criteria

translateFromThriftSymbol

public static Symbol translateFromThriftSymbol(TSymbol tsymbol)

Translate the TSymbol to its canonical Symbol analog, acting as the inverse of translateToThriftSymbol(Symbol).

The returned Symbol carries the value as a Java object suitable for direct AST construction. Callers that subsequently re-emit the Symbol as CCL text (for example, via Criteria.ccl()) must use translateFromThriftCriteria(com.cinchapi.concourse.thrift.TCriteria) instead, which preserves the original quote-escaping that CCL re-parsing requires.

Parameters:

tsymbol -

Returns:

the analogous Symbol

translateToThriftCriteria

public static TCriteria translateToThriftCriteria(Criteria criteria)

Translate the criteria to its Thrift analog.

Parameters:

criteria -

Returns:

the analogous TCriteria

translateToThriftSymbol

public static TSymbol translateToThriftSymbol(Symbol symbol)

Translate symbol to its Thrift analog.

Parameters:

symbol -

Returns:

The analogous TSymbol
