MutationType

public enum MutationType : UInt32

A set of operations that can be performed atomically on a database.

  • add

    Performs an addition of little-endian integers. If the existing value in the database is not present or shorter than param, it is first extended to the length of param with zero bytes. If param is shorter than the existing value in the database, the existing value is truncated to match the length of param. The integers to be added must be stored in a little-endian representation. They can be signed in two’s complement representation or unsigned. You can add to an integer at a known offset in the value by prepending the appropriate number of zero bytes to param and padding with zero bytes to match the length of the value. However, this offset technique requires that you know the addition will not cause the integer field within the value to overflow.

    Declaration

    Swift

    case add = 2
  • and

    Undocumented

    Declaration

    Swift

    public static let and: MutationType?
  • Performs a bitwise and operation. If the existing value in the database is not present, then param is stored in the database. If the existing value in the database is shorter than param, it is first extended to the length of param with zero bytes. If param is shorter than the existing value in the database, the existing value is truncated to match the length of param.

    Declaration

    Swift

    case bitAnd = 6
  • or

    Undocumented

    Declaration

    Swift

    public static let or: MutationType?
  • Performs a bitwise or operation. If the existing value in the database is not present or shorter than param, it is first extended to the length of param with zero bytes. If param is shorter than the existing value in the database, the existing value is truncated to match the length of param.

    Declaration

    Swift

    case bitOr = 7
  • xor

    Undocumented

    Declaration

    Swift

    public static let xor: MutationType?
  • Performs a bitwise xor operation. If the existing value in the database is not present or shorter than param, it is first extended to the length of param with zero bytes. If param is shorter than the existing value in the database, the existing value is truncated to match the length of param.

    Declaration

    Swift

    case bitXor = 8
  • Appends param to the end of the existing value already in the database at the given key (or creates the key and sets the value to param if the key is empty). This will only append the value if the final concatenated value size is less than or equal to the maximum value size (i.e., if it fits). WARNING: No error is surfaced back to the user if the final value is too large because the mutation will not be applied until after the transaction has been committed. Therefore, it is only safe to use this mutation type if one can guarantee that one will keep the total value size under the maximum size.

    Declaration

    Swift

    case appendIfFits = 9
  • max

    Performs a little-endian comparison of byte strings. If the existing value in the database is not present or shorter than param, it is first extended to the length of param with zero bytes. If param is shorter than the existing value in the database, the existing value is truncated to match the length of param. The larger of the two values is then stored in the database.

    Declaration

    Swift

    case max = 12
  • min

    Performs a little-endian comparison of byte strings. If the existing value in the database is not present, then param is stored in the database. If the existing value in the database is shorter than param, it is first extended to the length of param with zero bytes. If param is shorter than the existing value in the database, the existing value is truncated to match the length of param. The smaller of the two values is then stored in the database.

    Declaration

    Swift

    case min = 13
  • Transforms key using a versionstamp for the transaction. Sets the transformed key in the database to param. The key is transformed by removing the final four bytes from the key and reading those as a little-Endian 32-bit integer to get a position pos. The 10 bytes of the key from pos to pos + 10 are replaced with the versionstamp of the transaction used. The first byte of the key is position 0. A versionstamp is a 10 byte, unique, monotonically (but not sequentially) increasing value for each committed transaction. The first 8 bytes are the committed version of the database (serialized in big-Endian order). The last 2 bytes are monotonic in the serialization order for transactions. WARNING: At this time, versionstamps are compatible with the Tuple layer only in the Java and Python bindings. Also, note that prior to API version 520, the offset was computed from only the final two bytes rather than the final four bytes.

    Declaration

    Swift

    case setVersionstampedKey = 14
  • Transforms param using a versionstamp for the transaction. Sets the key given to the transformed param. The parameter is transformed by removing the final four bytes from param and reading those as a little-Endian 32-bit integer to get a position pos. The 10 bytes of the parameter from pos to pos + 10 are replaced with the versionstamp of the transaction used. The first byte of the parameter is position 0. A versionstamp is a 10 byte, unique, monotonically (but not sequentially) increasing value for each committed transaction. The first 8 bytes are the committed version of the database (serialized in big-Endian order). The last 2 bytes are monotonic in the serialization order for transactions. WARNING: At this time, versionstamps are compatible with the Tuple layer only in the Java and Python bindings. Also, note that prior to API version 520, the versionstamp was always placed at the beginning of the parameter rather than computing an offset.

    Declaration

    Swift

    case setVersionstampedValue = 15
  • Performs lexicographic comparison of byte strings. If the existing value in the database is not present, then param is stored. Otherwise the smaller of the two values is then stored in the database.

    Declaration

    Swift

    case byteMin = 16
  • Performs lexicographic comparison of byte strings. If the existing value in the database is not present, then param is stored. Otherwise the larger of the two values is then stored in the database.

    Declaration

    Swift

    case byteMax = 17
