aerospike/maps

This module defines operations on the Sorted Map data type that can be used with the Client#operate command. Operations on Sorted Maps require Aerospike Server ⇑version 3.8.4 or later.

For more information, please refer to the ⇑Maps documentation in the Aerospike Feature Guide.

Sorted Maps

The Map data type supports both unordered and ordered maps. Maps can be ordered by key, or by key and value. By default, maps are unordered. The map order is controlled through the map policy and can be set either when the map is created through the put or putItems operations or later on through the setPolicy operation.

All maps maintain an index and a rank. The index is the item offset from the start of the map, for both unordered and ordered maps. The rank is the sorted index of the value component. Map supports negative indexing for index and rank.

Index examples:

  • Index 0: First item in map.
  • Index 4: Fifth item in map.
  • Index -1: Last item in map.
  • Index -3: Third to last item in map.
  • Index 1 Count 2: Second and third items in map.
  • Index -3 Count 3: Last three items in map.
  • Index -5 Count 4: Range between fifth to last item to second to last item inclusive.

Rank examples:

  • Rank 0: Item with lowest value rank in map.
  • Rank 4: Fifth lowest ranked item in map.
  • Rank -1: Item with highest ranked value in map.
  • Rank -3: Item with third highest ranked value in map.
  • Rank 1 Count 2: Second and third lowest ranked items in map.
  • Rank -3 Count 3: Top three ranked items in map.

CDT Context - Operating on Nested Maps

To operate on nested maps, use the MapOperation#withContext function to set the context for a map operation.
