Hello again, i am in learning mode. I've seen in the Tablet.java an array of Object[] and i want to know the rational of this. We know that in Java generics are "fake" due to the type erasure, but is there any possibility to replace that:
*** deviceId of this tablet */ public String prefixPath; /** the list of measurement schemas for creating the tablet */ private List<IMeasurementSchema> schemas; /** measurementId->indexOf(measurementSchema) */ private Map<String, Integer> measurementIndex; /** timestamps in this tablet */ public long[] timestamps; /** each object is a primitive type array, which represents values of one measurement */ public Object[] values; /** each bitmap represents the existence of each value in the current column. */ public BitMap[] bitMaps; /** the number of rows to include in this tablet */ public int rowSize; /** the maximum number of rows for this tablet */ private int maxRowNumber; /** whether this tablet store data of aligned timeseries or not */ private boolean isAligned;* With restrictions, i mean a primitive type array wrapper that it doesn't accept virtually everything in - addValue(String measurementId, int rowIndex, Object value) And replacing addValue with something like -addValue<T extends Number> ( String measurementId, int rowIndex, T Object); -addValue<T extends String> ( String measurementId, int rowIndex, T Object); In this way we could have in the tablet only the 'primitive" types and using boxing as well. What do you think? Best Regards, Giorgio. -- Life is a chess game - Anonymous.
