/**
* Traverses entity values or key values and allows deleting or updating the
* entity at the current cursor position. The value type (V) is either an
* entity class or a key class, depending on how the cursor was opened.
*
* {@code EntityCursor} objects are not thread-safe. Cursors
* should be opened, used and closed by a single thread.
*
* Cursors are opened using the {@link EntityIndex#keys} and {@link
* EntityIndex#entities} family of methods. These methods are available for
* objects of any class that implements {@link EntityIndex}: {@link
* PrimaryIndex}, {@link SecondaryIndex}, and the indices returned by {@link
* SecondaryIndex#keysIndex} and {@link SecondaryIndex#subIndex}. A {@link
* ForwardCursor}, which implements a subset of cursor operations, is also
* available via the {@link EntityJoin#keys} and {@link EntityJoin#entities}
* methods.
*
* Values are always returned by a cursor in key order, where the key is
* defined by the underlying {@link EntityIndex}. For example, a cursor on a
* {@link SecondaryIndex} returns values ordered by secondary key, while an
* index on a {@link PrimaryIndex} or a {@link SecondaryIndex#subIndex} returns
* values ordered by primary key.
*
* WARNING: Cursors must always be closed to prevent resource leaks
* which could lead to the index becoming unusable or cause an
* OutOfMemoryError. To ensure that a cursor is closed in the
* face of exceptions, call {@link #close} in a finally block. For example,
* the following code traverses all Employee entities and closes the cursor
* whether or not an exception occurs:
*
*
* {@literal @Entity}
* class Employee {
*
* {@literal @PrimaryKey}
* long id;
*
* {@literal @SecondaryKey(relate=MANY_TO_ONE)}
* String department;
*
* String name;
*
* private Employee() {}
* }
*
* EntityStore store = ...
*
* {@code PrimaryIndex} primaryIndex =
* store.getPrimaryIndex(Long.class, Employee.class);
*
* {@code EntityCursor} cursor = primaryIndex.entities();
* try {
* for (Employee entity = cursor.first();
* entity != null;
* entity = cursor.next()) {
* // Do something with the entity...
* }
* } finally {
* cursor.close();
* }
*
* Initializing the Cursor Position
*
* When it is opened, a cursor is not initially positioned on any value; in
* other words, it is uninitialized. Most methods in this interface initialize
* the cursor position but certain methods, for example, {@link #current} and
* {@link #delete}, throw {@link IllegalStateException} when called for an
* uninitialized cursor.
*
* Note that the {@link #next} and {@link #prev} methods return the first or
* last value respectively for an uninitialized cursor. This allows the loop
* in the example above to be rewritten as follows:
*
*
* {@code EntityCursor} cursor = primaryIndex.entities();
* try {
* Employee entity;
* while ((entity = cursor.next()) != null) {
* // Do something with the entity...
* }
* } finally {
* cursor.close();
* }
*
* Cursors and Iterators
*
* The {@link #iterator} method can be used to return a standard Java {@code
* Iterator} that returns the same values that the cursor returns. For
* example:
*
*
* {@code EntityCursor} cursor = primaryIndex.entities();
* try {
* {@code Iterator} i = cursor.iterator();
* while (i.hasNext()) {
* Employee entity = i.next();
* // Do something with the entity...
* }
* } finally {
* cursor.close();
* }
*
* The {@link Iterable} interface is also extended by {@link EntityCursor}
* to allow using the cursor as the target of a Java "foreach" statement:
*
*
* {@code EntityCursor} cursor = primaryIndex.entities();
* try {
* for (Employee entity : cursor) {
* // Do something with the entity...
* }
* } finally {
* cursor.close();
* }
*
* The iterator uses the cursor directly, so any changes to the cursor
* position impact the iterator and vice versa. The iterator advances the
* cursor by calling {@link #next()} when {@link Iterator#hasNext} or {@link
* Iterator#next} is called. Because of this interaction, to keep things
* simple it is best not to mix the use of an {@code EntityCursor}
* {@code Iterator} with the use of the {@code EntityCursor} traversal methods
* such as {@link #next()}, for a single {@code EntityCursor} object.
*
* Key Ranges
*
* A key range may be specified when opening the cursor, to restrict the
* key range of the cursor to a subset of the complete range of keys in the
* index. A {@code fromKey} and/or {@code toKey} parameter may be specified
* when calling {@link EntityIndex#keys(Object,boolean,Object,boolean)} or
* {@link EntityIndex#entities(Object,boolean,Object,boolean)}. The key
* arguments may be specified as inclusive or exclusive values.
*
* Whenever a cursor with a key range is moved, the key range bounds will be
* checked, and the cursor will never be positioned outside the range. The
* {@link #first} cursor value is the first existing value in the range, and
* the {@link #last} cursor value is the last existing value in the range. For
* example, the following code traverses Employee entities with keys from 100
* (inclusive) to 200 (exclusive):
*
*
* {@code EntityCursor} cursor = primaryIndex.entities(100, true, 200, false);
* try {
* for (Employee entity : cursor) {
* // Do something with the entity...
* }
* } finally {
* cursor.close();
* }
*
* Duplicate Keys
*
* When using a cursor for a {@link SecondaryIndex}, the keys in the index
* may be non-unique (duplicates) if {@link SecondaryKey#relate} is {@link
* Relationship#MANY_TO_ONE MANY_TO_ONE} or {@link Relationship#MANY_TO_MANY
* MANY_TO_MANY}. For example, a {@code MANY_TO_ONE} {@code
* Employee.department} secondary key is non-unique because there are multiple
* Employee entities with the same department key value. The {@link #nextDup},
* {@link #prevDup}, {@link #nextNoDup} and {@link #prevNoDup} methods may be
* used to control how non-unique keys are returned by the cursor.
*
* {@link #nextDup} and {@link #prevDup} return the next or previous value
* only if it has the same key as the current value, and null is returned when
* a different key is encountered. For example, these methods can be used to
* return all employees in a given department.
*
* {@link #nextNoDup} and {@link #prevNoDup} return the next or previous
* value with a unique key, skipping over values that have the same key. For
* example, these methods can be used to return the first employee in each
* department.
*
* For example, the following code will find the first employee in each
* department with {@link #nextNoDup} until it finds a department name that
* matches a particular regular expression. For each matching department it
* will find all employees in that department using {@link #nextDup}.
*
*
* {@code SecondaryIndex} secondaryIndex =
* store.getSecondaryIndex(primaryIndex, String.class, "department");
*
* String regex = ...;
* {@code EntityCursor} cursor = secondaryIndex.entities();
* try {
* for (Employee entity = cursor.first();
* entity != null;
* entity = cursor.nextNoDup()) {
* if (entity.department.matches(regex)) {
* while (entity != null) {
* // Do something with the matching entities...
* entity = cursor.nextDup();
* }
* }
* }
* } finally {
* cursor.close();
* }
*
* Updating and Deleting Entities with a Cursor
*
* The {@link #update} and {@link #delete} methods operate on the entity at
* the current cursor position. Cursors on any type of index may be used to
* delete entities. For example, the following code deletes all employees in
* departments which have names that match a particular regular expression:
*
*
* {@code SecondaryIndex} secondaryIndex =
* store.getSecondaryIndex(primaryIndex, String.class, "department");
*
* String regex = ...;
* {@code EntityCursor} cursor = secondaryIndex.entities();
* try {
* for (Employee entity = cursor.first();
* entity != null;
* entity = cursor.nextNoDup()) {
* if (entity.department.matches(regex)) {
* while (entity != null) {
* cursor.delete();
* entity = cursor.nextDup();
* }
* }
* }
* } finally {
* cursor.close();
* }
*
* Note that the cursor can be moved to the next (or previous) value after
* deleting the entity at the current position. This is an important property
* of cursors, since without it you would not be able to easily delete while
* processing multiple values with a cursor. A cursor positioned on a deleted
* entity is in a special state. In this state, {@link #current} will return
* null, {@link #delete} will return false, and {@link #update} will return
* false.
*
* The {@link #update} method is supported only if the value type is an
* entity class (not a key class) and the underlying index is a {@link
* PrimaryIndex}; in other words, for a cursor returned by one of the {@link
* PrimaryIndex#entities} methods. For example, the following code changes all
* employee names to uppercase:
*
*
* {@code EntityCursor} cursor = primaryIndex.entities();
* try {
* for (Employee entity = cursor.first();
* entity != null;
* entity = cursor.next()) {
* entity.name = entity.name.toUpperCase();
* cursor.update(entity);
* }
* } finally {
* cursor.close();
* }
