- - ### Method Detail

    - #### decorateKey

          DecoratedKey decorateKey(java.nio.ByteBuffer key)

      Transform key to object representation of the on-disk format.
      Parameters:
        `key` - the raw, client-facing key
      Returns:
        decorated version of key

    - #### midpoint

          Token midpoint(Token left,
                         Token right)

      Calculate a Token representing the approximate "middle" of the given range.
      Returns:
        The approximate midpoint between left and right.

    - #### split

          Token split(Token left,
                      Token right,
                      double ratioToLeft)

      Calculate a Token which take approximate 0 <= ratioToLeft <= 1 ownership of the given range.

    - #### getMinimumToken

          Token getMinimumToken()

      Returns:
        A Token smaller than all others in the range that is being partitioned. Not legal to assign to a node or key. (But legal to use in range scans.)

    - #### getMaximumToken

          default Token getMaximumToken()

      The biggest token for this partitioner, unlike getMinimumToken, this token is actually used and users wanting to include all tokens need to do getMaximumToken().maxKeyBound() Not implemented for the ordered partitioners

    - #### getToken

          Token getToken(java.nio.ByteBuffer key)

      Returns:
        a Token that can be used to route a given key (This is NOT a method to create a Token from its string representation; for that, use TokenFactory.fromString.)

    - #### getRandomToken

          Token getRandomToken()

      Returns:
        a randomly generated token

    - #### getRandomToken

          Token getRandomToken(java.util.Random random)

      Parameters:
        `random` - instance of Random to use when generating the token
      Returns:
        a randomly generated token

    - #### getTokenFactory

          Token.TokenFactory getTokenFactory()

    - #### preservesOrder

          boolean preservesOrder()

      Returns:
        True if the implementing class preserves key order in the Tokens it generates.

    - #### describeOwnership

          java.util.Map<Token,java.lang.Float> describeOwnership(java.util.List<Token> sortedTokens)

      Calculate the deltas between tokens in the ring in order to compare relative sizes.
      Parameters:
        `sortedTokens` - a sorted List of Tokens
      Returns:
        the mapping from 'token' to 'percentage of the ring owned by that token'.

    - #### getTokenValidator

          AbstractType<?> getTokenValidator()

    - #### partitionOrdering

          AbstractType<?> partitionOrdering()

      Abstract type that orders the same way as DecoratedKeys provided by this partitioner. Used by secondary indices.

    - #### splitter

          default java.util.Optional<Splitter> splitter()
