Method Detail
-
getTimeStamp
long getTimeStamp()
Returns for this topology a unique time stamp across all topologies in the application.When the content of the topology changes, the time stamp must increase. The time stamp allows extractors to identify this topology and to be aware of any changes to it.
Note:
MxTimeStamp
can be used to generate a valid time stamp.- Returns:
- a time stamp value on this topology
-
hasDeadCells
boolean hasDeadCells()
Returnstrue
if the topology contains dead cells.When
false
, the cells traversal can be optimized by not testing theisDead
method of each individual cells.- Returns:
true
if the topology contains dead cells
