Method Summary

All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`boolean`	`getDirections(int index)`	The directions for each sort col - true = ascending
`int`	`getDirectionsCount()`	The directions for each sort col - true = ascending
`List<Boolean>`	`getDirectionsList()`	The directions for each sort col - true = ascending
`long`	`getLimitVal()`	If we know we only need the top n rows of the sort that is noted here If there is no limit being applied, this is set to -1
`PlanProtocol.SortPartition`	`getPoint(int index)`	This defines the list of partitioning points for dividing the sort into streams There's no guarantees on the size of this It could be completely empty, which could happen if it look like all the data has the same sort key - implies that we don't know what to do besides one sort stream There is no guarantee that the partitioning points are in order
`int`	`getPointCount()`	This defines the list of partitioning points for dividing the sort into streams There's no guarantees on the size of this It could be completely empty, which could happen if it look like all the data has the same sort key - implies that we don't know what to do besides one sort stream There is no guarantee that the partitioning points are in order
`List<PlanProtocol.SortPartition>`	`getPointList()`	This defines the list of partitioning points for dividing the sort into streams There's no guarantees on the size of this It could be completely empty, which could happen if it look like all the data has the same sort key - implies that we don't know what to do besides one sort stream There is no guarantee that the partitioning points are in order
