Java - MemoryLayout

MemoryLayout

The MemoryLayout class lets us describe the contents of a memory segment. Specifically, it lets us define how the memory is broken up into elements, where the size of each element is provided.

This is a bit like describing the memory layout as a concrete type, but without providing a Java class. It's similar to how languages like C++ map their structures to memory.

Let's take an example of a cartesian coordinate point defined with the coordinates x and y:


int numberOfPoints = 10;
MemoryLayout pointLayout = MemoryLayout.ofStruct(
  MemoryLayout.ofValueBits(32, ByteOrder.BIG_ENDIAN).withName("x"),
  MemoryLayout.ofValueBits(32, ByteOrder.BIG_ENDIAN).withName("y")
);
SequenceLayout pointsLayout =
  MemoryLayout.ofSequence(numberOfPoints, pointLayout);

Here, we've defined a layout made of two 32-bit values named x and y. This layout can be used with a SequenceLayout to make something similar to an array, in this case with 10 indices.

Spring Elasticsearch Operations

By -
Elasticsearch Operations Spring Data Elasticsearch uses two interfaces to define the operations that can be called against an Elasticsearch index. These are ElasticsearchOperations and ReactiveElasticsearchOperations. Whereas the first is used with the classic synchronous implementations, the second one uses reactive infrastructure. The default implementations of the interfaces offer: Read/Write mapping support for domain types. A rich query and criteria api. Resource management and Exception translation. ElasticsearchTemplate The ElasticsearchTemplate is an implementation of the ElasticsearchOperations interface using the Transport Client. @Configuration public class TransportClientConfig extends ElasticsearchConfigurationSupport {   @Bean   public Client elasticsearchClient() throws UnknownHostException {                      Settings settings = Settings.builder().put("cluster.name", "elasticsearch")....

Spring Boot and Vaadin : Filtering rows in Vaadin Grid

By -
Adding a text field for filtering: Start by adding a text field above the grid. Remember, MainView is a VerticalLayout, so you need to add the text field before the grid. MainView.java public class MainView extends VerticalLayout {   private ContactService contactService;   private Grid<Contact> grid = new Grid<>(Contact.class);   private TextField filterText = new TextField(); ①   public MainView(ContactService contactService) {   this.contactService = contactService;   addClassName("list-view");   setSizeFull();   configureFilter(); ②   configureGrid();   add(filterText, grid); ③   updateList();   }   private void configureFilter() {   filterText.setPlaceholder("Filter by name..."); ④   filterText.setClearButtonVisible(true); ⑤   filterText.setValueChangeMode(ValueChangeMode.LAZY); ⑥   filterText.addValueChangeListener(e -> updateList()); ⑦   }   // Grid...
