## org.apache.cassandra.db
Class CounterUpdateColumn

    java.lang.Object
      org.apache.cassandra.db.Column
          org.apache.cassandra.db.CounterUpdateColumn

All Implemented Interfaces:
  IColumn

    public class CounterUpdateColumn

extends Column

A counter update while it hasn't been applied yet by the leader replica. Contains a single counter update. When applied by the leader replica, this is transformed to a relevant CounterColumn. This Column is a temporary data structure that should never be stored inside a memtable or an sstable.

Constructor Detail

### CounterUpdateColumn

    public CounterUpdateColumn(java.nio.ByteBuffer name,
                               long value,
                               long timestamp)

### CounterUpdateColumn

    public CounterUpdateColumn(java.nio.ByteBuffer name,
                               java.nio.ByteBuffer value,
                               long timestamp)

Method Detail

### delta

    public long delta()

### diff

    public IColumn diff(IColumn column)

  Specified by:
    `diff` in interface `IColumn`
  Overrides:
    `diff` in class `Column`

### reconcile

    public IColumn reconcile(IColumn column,
                             Allocator allocator)

  Specified by:
    `reconcile` in interface `IColumn`
  Overrides:
    `reconcile` in class `Column`

### serializationFlags

    public int serializationFlags()

  Specified by:
    `serializationFlags` in interface `IColumn`
  Overrides:
    `serializationFlags` in class `Column`

### localCopy

    public CounterColumn localCopy(ColumnFamilyStore cfs)

  Description copied from interface: `IColumn`
  clones the column for the row cache, interning column names and making copies of other underlying byte buffers

  Specified by:
    `localCopy` in interface `IColumn`
  Overrides:
    `localCopy` in class `Column`

### localCopy

    public IColumn localCopy(ColumnFamilyStore cfs,
                             Allocator allocator)

  Description copied from interface: `IColumn`
  clones the column for the memtable, interning column names and making copies of other underlying byte buffers. Unlike the other localCopy, this uses Allocator to allocate values in contiguous memory regions, which helps avoid heap fragmentation.

  Specified by:
    `localCopy` in interface `IColumn`
  Overrides:
    `localCopy` in class `Column`
