Interface ComparisonContext<DC extends DescriptorComparator<D>,D extends Descriptor,T extends Serializable>

Type Parameters:

DC - Represented DescriptorComparator type

D - Bare form of suitable descriptor representation

T - Unguarded form base type

All Superinterfaces:

Guarded, Serializable

All Known Implementing Classes:

ComparisonContextImpl

@Beta
public interface ComparisonContext<DC extends DescriptorComparator<D>,D extends Descriptor,T extends Serializable>
extends Serializable, Guarded

Expose descriptor comparison of bare/rich and unguarded representations. DescriptorComparator for non-unguarded descriptor form and the associated UnguardedExtractor are also represented.

An instance is bounded to a specific DescriptorGenerator or to a specific GuardObject because it encapsulates descriptor parameter related state.

Method Detail

descriptorComparator

DC descriptorComparator()

Comparator to compare the bare/rich form of the descriptors. The returned instance represents the same metric as the instance from unguardedContext().

Returns:

Comparator

descriptorSerializer

DescriptorSerializer<D> descriptorSerializer()

Serializer to transform descriptors to/from String representation.

Returns:

serializer

unguardedContext

UnguardedContext<D,T> unguardedContext()

Represented unguarded context.

Returns:

unguarded context
