Method Detail

getPartitionHashCode

int getPartitionHashCode(DataObjectContext ctx,
                         XsDataInputStream dataObject)
                         throws IOException

Invoked from clients when it needs to use a partition other than the one normally calculated from it's identity. The partition is typically the hashCode of one or more of the key attributes.

Do not store or use the data stream beyond the confines of this method call. The data stream is owned by the WebSphere eXtreme Scale framework and my be closed, pooled or reused as required.

Parameters:

ctx - the context of the method call.

dataObject - the data input stream to read the object, produced from DataSerializer.serializeDataObject(DataObjectContext, Object, XsDataOutputStream). Must not be null.

Returns:

the partition id to send to the PartitionManager.

Throws:

IOException - thrown if there is a problem reading the data.
