Class KeyTransformationHandler

java.lang.Object
  org.infinispan.query.backend.KeyTransformationHandler

public class KeyTransformationHandler
extends Object

This transforms arbitrary keys to a String which can be used by Lucene as a document identifier, and vice versa.

There are 2 approaches to doing so; one for SimpleKeys: Java primitives (and their object wrappers) and Strings, and one for custom, user-defined types that could be used as keys.

For SimpleKeys, users don't need to do anything, these keys are automatically transformed by this class.

For user-defined keys, two options are supported. Types annotated with @Transformable, and declaring an appropriate Transformer implementation; and types for which a Transformer has been explicitly registered through KeyTransformationHandler.registerTransformer().
