为何Redis选择单线程而非多线程架构？

Ordering is Guava’s fluent Comparator class and implements Comparator interface. It can be used to build complex comparators and apply them to collections of objects.

Okay, so let’s getting started. Firstly, we declared a String type List:

private List<String> locations = Lists.newArrayList(
        "Guang zhou",
        "Cheng du",
        "",
        "Shang hai"
);

We will use this locations variable later.

natural()
Use natural ordering for comparatable types. such as number from small to large. date from start to end. It is static method.

// use natural comparator, such as a -> z
// so the result is: [, Cheng du, Guang zhou, Shang hai]
System.out.println(Ordering.natural().sortedCopy(locations));

sortedCopy(Iterable)
Return a sorted copy of the specified elements as a List.
We create a customized Ordering that sorted by the length of element from small to large. Let’s get the code:

private Ordering<String> getCustomzieStringOrder() {
    return new Ordering<String>() {
        @Override
        public int compare(String first, String second) {
            return Ints.compare(first.length(), second.length());
        }
    };
}

Order the locations list with our new customize Ordering:

Ordering<String> byLengthOrdering = getCustomzieStringOrder();

   // use natural comparator, such as a -> z
   // so the result is: [, Cheng du, Shang hai, Guang zhou]
   System.out.println(byLengthOrdering.sortedCopy(locations));

isOrdered(Iterable)
Return a Boolean variable that can describe the Iterable if sorted.

// will return false. because the locations array is not sorted.
   System.out.println(byLengthOrdering.isOrdered(locations));

reverse()
Return the reverse Ordering.

// reverse customize comparator.
// so the result is: [Guang zhou, Shang hai, Cheng du, ]
System.out.println(byLengthOrdering.reverse().sortedCopy(locations));

nullsFirst()
Return an Ordering that will put the null object at the first.

// add null object to the locations array.
locations.add(null);

// null obejct will at first.
// so the result is : [null, , Cheng du, Shang hai, Guang zhou]
System.out.println(byLengthOrdering.nullsFirst().sortedCopy(locations));

nullsLast()
Return an Ordering that will put the null object at the last.

// null object will at last.
   // the result is : [, Cheng du, Shang hai, Guang zhou, null]
   System.out.println(byLengthOrdering.nullsLast().sortedCopy(locations));
   
   // will throw NullPointerException, because the location contains null object.
   // and here doesn't have nullsFirst() or nullsLast() to deal with null object.
   byLengthOrdering.sortedCopy(locations);

   // remove the null object.
   locations.remove(null);

compound()
Returns an Ordering which uses the specified Comparator to “break ties.”

// the "AAAAAAAA" length is equal to "Cheng du" length. (8 characters)
// and it will be appended at last.
locations.add("AAAAAAAA");

// use natrual ordering with second comparator to deal with equal situation.
Ordering<String> compoundOrdering = byLengthOrdering.compound(Ordering.natural());

// the result will be : [, AAAAAAAA, Cheng du, Shang hai, Guang zhou]
System.out.println(compoundOrdering.sortedCopy(locations));

onResultOf(Fuction)
Returns an Ordering which orders values by applying the function to them and then comparing the results using the original Ordering.
Declaring a Foo class:

public class Foo {
      @Nullable
      private Integer sortedBy;

      private String nonSortedBy;

      public Foo(Integer sortedBy, String nonSortedBy) {
          this.sortedBy = sortedBy;
          this.nonSortedBy = nonSortedBy;
      }

      public String getNonSortedBy() {
          return nonSortedBy;
      }

      public void setNonSortedBy(String nonSortedBy) {
          this.nonSortedBy = nonSortedBy;
      }

      public Integer getSortedBy() {
          return sortedBy;
      }

      public void setSortedBy(int sortedBy) {
          this.sortedBy = sortedBy;
      }

      @Override
      public String toString() {
          return String.format("%s+%s", this.sortedBy, this.nonSortedBy);
      }
  }

Declaring a new List with Foo class type:

private List<Foo> fooList = Lists.newArrayList(
       new Foo(null, "abc"),
       new Foo(23, "abc"),
       new Foo(10, "abc")
   );	

Define a new function that will return an customized Ordering:

private Ordering<Foo> getNaturalFooOrder() {
    return Ordering.natural().nullsFirst().onResultOf(new Function<Foo, Integer>() {
        @Override
        public Integer apply(@Nullable Foo foo) {
            return foo.getSortedBy();
        }
    });
}

Ordering<Foo> fooOrdering = getNaturalFooOrder();
// the result will be [null+abc, 10+abc, 23+abc]
System.out.println(fooOrdering.sortedCopy(fooList));

greatestOf(Iterable iterable, int k)
Returns the k greatest elements of the specified iterable, according to this ordering, in order from greatest to least. Not necessarily stable.

// the result will be [23+abc]
System.out.println(fooOrdering.greatestOf(fooList, 1));

// the result will be [23+abc, 10+abc]
System.out.println(fooOrdering.greatestOf(fooList, 2));

leastOf(Iterable iterable, int k)
Returns the k least elements of the specified iterable, according to this ordering, in order from least to greatest. Not necessarily stable.

// the result will be [null+abc, 10+abc]
System.out.println(fooOrdering.leastOf(fooList, 2));

min(Iterable)
Returns the minimum element of the specified Iterable. Throws a NoSuchElementException if the Iterable is empty.

// the result will be null+abc
System.out.println(fooOrdering.min(fooList));

max(Iterable)
Returns the maximum element of the specified Iterable. Throws a NoSuchElementException if the Iterable is empty.

// the result will be 23+abc
System.out.println(fooOrdering.max(fooList));
