Class HDataBase



  • public class HDataBase
    extends java.lang.Object
    This raw-level database allows to store and retrieve objects. It associates a key of type String with each record. The keys will be limited to a maximum length, although the record data will not be limited. The record will consist of only one "blob" of binary data. The number of records is not fixed at creation time. The file can grow and shrink as records are inserted and removed. Because our index and record data will be stored in the same file, this restriction will cause us to add extra logic to dynamically increase the index space by reorganizing records. The database operations not depend on the number of records in the file. In other words, they'll be of constant order time with respect to file accesses. The index is small enough to load into memory. This will make it easier for our implementation to fulfill the requirement that dictates access time. The code is based on: http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-01-1999/jw-01-step.html
