Method Detail

setCache

public void setCache(boolean isCache)
Set a boolean for declaring the use of a cache for intermediate materialization of results at evaluation time.


isCache

public boolean isCache()
Get the value of the boolean indicating whether cache is used for materialization of intermediate results at evaluation time.

Returns:
the boolean indicating whether the cache is used for materialization of intermediate results.

setParallel

public void setParallel(boolean isTupleLoader)
Set a boolean for declaring parallel evaluation of sub-QueryTrees.


isParallel

public boolean isParallel()
Get the value of the boolean indicating whether parallel evaluation of sub-QueryTrees is performed.

Returns:
the boolean indicating parallel evaluation of sub-QueryTrees is performed.

isLimitedRange

public boolean isLimitedRange()
Gets the value of the boolean indicating whether a limited range of evaluation is performed.

If true, there should be a value for the first tuple index and a value for the maximum number of tuples to be returned by the evaluation.

Returns:
true if limited range evaluation is to be performed.

setLimitedRangeStartAt

public void setLimitedRangeStartAt(int start)
Sets the value for the rank of the first tuple to be returned by the evaluation in the case of a range-limited evaluation.

Parameters:
start - the index of the first tuple to be returned by the evaluation, stating at 0.

getLimitedRangeStartAt

public int getLimitedRangeStartAt()
Gets the value for the rank of the first tuple to be returned by the evaluation in the case of a range-limited evaluation.

Returns:
the value for the first tuple to be returned by the evaluation, starting at 0.

setLimitedRangeSize

public void setLimitedRangeSize(int number)
Sets the maximum number of tuples to be returned by the evaluation in the case of a range-limited evaluation.

Parameters:
number - the maximum number of tuples to be returned by the evaluation

getLimitedRangeSize

public int getLimitedRangeSize()
Gets the maximum number of tuples to be returned by the evaluation in the case of a range-limited evaluation.

Returns:
the maximum number of tuples to be returned by the evaluation.
