Description

This Project provides two cool things:

A flexible way of creating and handling pages on different resources (like the file system)
An implementation of a B+-Tree that can
- be ordered arbitrarily by providing a comparator
- serializers can be handed in as dependency
- the resource manager to which the B-Tree is persisted is handed in as interface.

Dev Requirements

gradle >= 1.0-milestone-6 (install on mac with homebrew: brew install gradle --HEAD)

Getting started

This Repository

get started by cloning the repository:

git clone git://github.com/rweng/multimap.git
cd index
# look at all tasks you can do with the build manager
gradle tasks
# if you are in eclipse, generate the eclipse files to be able to open the repository as eclipse project
gradle eclipse
# run the tests
gradle test
# generate javadoc
gradle javadoc
open build/doc/javadoc/index.html

Creating a ResourceManager

// creates a cached resource manager. All values are the default values and can be ommited (except file())
new ResourceManagerBuilder().file("/tmp/test").useLock(true).useCache(true).cacheSize(100)
    .pageSize(PageSize.DEFAULT_PAGE_SIZE).build();

// creates a plain FileResourceManager without Caching
new ResourceManagerBuilder().file("/tmp/test").useCache(false).build();

Creating a BTree Instance

@Test
public void staticMethodConstructor() throws IOException {
	final BTree<Integer, String> btree =
			BTree.create(createResourceManager(true), IntegerSerializer.INSTANCE, FixedStringSerializer.INSTANCE,
					IntegerComparator.INSTANCE);
	btree.initialize();
}

private AutoSaveResourceManager createResourceManager(final boolean reset) {
	if (reset)
		file.delete();
	return new ResourceManagerBuilder().file(file).buildAutoSave();
}
