    public interface IWritableBitmapIndex
    extends IBitmapIndex
    An indexing structure using bitmaps to resolve point queries and range queries. The index is multilevel, the fields of a level can have multiple values depending on the cardinality of the level. Each possible value of each level is indexed with a bitmap so that finding the rows that match a particular query resorts to AND / OR logical operations on the bitmaps.
    To speedup access and minimize storage cost the values in a level are coded as positive integers. In the context of range queries, the value -1 is reserved to represent 'ANY' value on a level.

      • append

        int append​(int[] tuple)
        Appends a tuple in the index.
        Parameters:
        tuple - tuple to consider
        Returns:
        new size of this index
      • append

        int append​(IPointList source,
                   int pointPosition)
        Appends a tuple read from a point list in the index.
        Parameters:
        source - list of points
        pointPosition - index in the list of the point to append
        Returns:
        new size of this index
      • append

        int append​(IPointList source)
        Appends an entire series of points.
        Parameters:
        source - list of points to append to this index
        Returns:
        new size of this index
      • append

        int append​(IPointList source,
                   int from,
                   int to)
        Appends a series of points as a batch operation.
        Parameters:
        source - the point source
        from - the starting index of the series of points to append (inclusive)
        to - the end index of the series of point to append (exclusive)
        Returns:
        the index of the last appended point
      • clear

        void clear()
        Clears the whole index, truncating all bitmaps to size zero.
