Interface DocumentDigest

public interface DocumentDigest

A DocumentDigest is a compact representation (like a checksum) of the contents of a Document. The digest can be used to efficiently determine whether document contents have changed. This interface does not define the algorithm used to compute the digest.

Compares this digest to the specified object.

Overrides:

equals in class java.lang.Object

Parameters:

digest - object to be compared to this digest

Returns:

true if digest is a DocumentDigest equal to this digest

equals

boolean equals(byte[] data)

Parameters:

data - byte array for which a digest will be computed

Returns:

true if the digest computed for data is equal to this digest

equals
