Methods

o query 
  public static boolean query(CubetteSpecification cubetteSpec,
                              IdSet queryUnitsAbove[],
                              IdSet queryMeasuresBelow[])
Determine if a query is satisfied by the specified Cubette. Return true if the query can be satisfied, false otherwise. For more on satisfaction, see the relevant papers (e.g., the VLDB paper).

o sum 
  public static CubetteSpecification[] sum(CubetteSpecification satisfyingCubette,
                                           CubetteSpecification query,
                                           PersistentGraph finerUnitGraphs[],
                                           Table unitToMeasureTables[],
                                           Table countTable)
Compute a sum aggregate for the answer. Only call this after you have assured that the cubette is satisfying! For now we will assume a strict hierarchy.

o increment 
  public static void increment(Id cubette,
                               LogRecord log,
                               Table filterUnitTable,
                               Table filterMeasureTable,
                               Table countTable,
                               Hashtable doneThisRound)
Increment the count associated with this cubette.
