Interface IKeyPattern

public interface IKeyPattern

Represents a pattern for keys in a key-value store.

Key pattern instances are key-value store implementation dependent. To create a new key pattern use IKeyValueStore.getKeyPatternBuilder().

IKeyValueStore implementations may obtain the actual pattern string by calling Object.toString() on this pattern.

IKeyPattern implementations should properly implement equals() and hashCode(), because IKeyPatterns may be used as keys in various internal maps.
