Class Tuple

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Cloneable
    Direct Known Subclasses:
    Tuple2, Tuple3

    public class Tuple
    extends java.lang.Object
    implements java.lang.Cloneable, java.io.Serializable
    A tuple is a list of entities. The entities of a tuple may be null. The equals and hashCode methods are overridden, such that two tuples are equal and have the same hashcode, if they contain the same entities. Therefore tuples can be used for multipart keys in hashtables.
