Class TimeStampedValue

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.lang.Comparable<TimeStampedValue>, java.util.Map.Entry<java.lang.Long,​java.lang.Object>
    public final class TimeStampedValue
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.util.Map.Entry<java.lang.Long,​java.lang.Object>, java.lang.Comparable<TimeStampedValue>
    Simple wrapper around a time in ms and a value Object.

    The key is the time in ms and may be used in a Map. compareTo(TimeStampedValue) compares the key.

    • Method Detail

      • compareTo

        public int compareTo​(TimeStampedValue obj)
        Compares the given TimeStampedValue to this by the internal getTime().

        Specified by:
        compareTo in interface java.lang.Comparable<TimeStampedValue>
        Parameters:
        obj - the object to compare this to.
        Returns:
        see interface.
        See Also:
        Comparable.compareTo(java.lang.Object)

      • equals

        public boolean equals​(java.lang.Object obj)
        Specified by:
        equals in interface java.util.Map.Entry<java.lang.Long,​java.lang.Object>
        Overrides:
        equals in class java.lang.Object
        See Also:
        Object.equals(java.lang.Object)

      • getKey

        public java.lang.Long getKey()
        Returns the Long that marks the time stamp (difference, measured in milliseconds, between the current time and midnight, January 1, 1970 UTC).
        Specified by:
        getKey in interface java.util.Map.Entry<java.lang.Long,​java.lang.Object>
        Returns:
        the Long that marks the time stamp (difference, measured in milliseconds, between the current time and midnight, January 1, 1970 UTC).
        See Also:
        Map.Entry.getKey()

      • getTime

        public long getTime()
        Returns the time stamp (difference, measured in milliseconds, between the current time and midnight, January 1, 1970 UTC).

        Returns:
        the time stamp (difference, measured in milliseconds, between the current time and midnight, January 1, 1970 UTC).

      • getValue

        public java.lang.Object getValue()
        Returns the time stamp.

        Specified by:
        getValue in interface java.util.Map.Entry<java.lang.Long,​java.lang.Object>
        Returns:
        the time stamp.
        See Also:
        Map.Entry.getValue()

      • hashCode

        public int hashCode()
        Specified by:
        hashCode in interface java.util.Map.Entry<java.lang.Long,​java.lang.Object>
        Overrides:
        hashCode in class java.lang.Object
        See Also:
        Object.hashCode()

      • isPast

        public boolean isPast()
        Returns whether the internal time stamp marks a time in the past or not.

        For normal a time stamp represents a value regarded at a time. But it is also thinkable to mark a value for expiration in the future. This method returns true if the internal time- representing key is smaller than the actual time.

        Returns:
        true if the internal time stamp marks a moment in the past, false else.

      • setValue

        public java.lang.Object setValue​(java.lang.Object value)
        Assigns a different value to the timestamp.

        Specified by:
        setValue in interface java.util.Map.Entry<java.lang.Long,​java.lang.Object>
        Parameters:
        value - the new value to be marked with this timestamp.
        Returns:
        the previous value that was contained.
