Detailed Description

The interface implemented by applications to provide custom extraction of index keys or column group values.

Applications register implementations with WiredTiger by calling WT_CONNECTION::add_extractor. See Custom Extractors for more information.

        static WT_EXTRACTOR my_extractor = {my_extract, NULL, NULL};

        ret = conn->add_extractor(conn, "my_extractor", &my_extractor, NULL);

Examples:

ex_extractor.c.

Member Data Documentation

int(* WT_EXTRACTOR::customize)(WT_EXTRACTOR *extractor, WT_SESSION *session, const char *uri, WT_CONFIG_ITEM *appcfg, WT_EXTRACTOR **customp)

If non-NULL, this callback is called to customize the extractor for each index.

If the callback returns a non-NULL extractor, that instance is used instead of this one for all comparisons.

int(* WT_EXTRACTOR::extract)(WT_EXTRACTOR *extractor, WT_SESSION *session, const WT_ITEM *key, const WT_ITEM *value, WT_CURSOR *result_cursor)

Callback to extract a value for an index or column group.

Returns

zero on success and a non-zero error code on failure. See Error Returns for details.

static int
my_extract(WT_EXTRACTOR *extractor, WT_SESSION *session,
    const WT_ITEM *key, const WT_ITEM *value,
    WT_CURSOR *result_cursor)
{
        /* Unused parameters */
        (void)extractor;
        (void)session;
        (void)key;

        result_cursor->set_key(result_cursor, value);
        return (result_cursor->insert(result_cursor));
}

Parameters

	extractor	the WT_EXTRACTOR implementation
	session	the current WiredTiger session
	key	the table key in raw format, see Raw mode for details
	value	the table value in raw format, see Raw mode for details
[out]	result_cursor	the method should call WT_CURSOR::set_key and WT_CURSOR::insert on this cursor to return a key. The key_format of the cursor will match that passed to WT_SESSION::create for the index. Multiple index keys can be created for each record by calling WT_CURSOR::insert multiple times.

int(* WT_EXTRACTOR::terminate)(WT_EXTRACTOR *extractor, WT_SESSION *session)

If non-NULL, a callback performed when the database is closed.

The WT_EXTRACTOR::terminate callback is intended to allow cleanup, the handle will not be subsequently accessed by WiredTiger.
