StreamCut (Pravega API)

All Superinterfaces:

java.io.Serializable
```
public interface StreamCut
extends java.io.Serializable
```
A set of segment/offset pairs for a single stream that represent a consistent position in the stream. (IE: Segment 1 and 2 will not both appear in the set if 2 succeeds 1, and if 0 appears and is responsible for keyspace 0-0.5 then other segments covering the range 0.5-1.0 will also be included.)

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`io.pravega.client.stream.impl.StreamCutInternal`	`asImpl()`	Used internally.
`java.lang.String`	`asText()`	Obtains the compact base64 string representation of StreamCut.
`static StreamCut`	`from(java.lang.String base64String)`	Obtains the a StreamCut object from its Base64 representation obtained via `asText()`.
`static StreamCut`	`fromBytes(java.nio.ByteBuffer cut)`	Deserializes the cut from its serialized from obtained from calling `toBytes()`.
`java.nio.ByteBuffer`	`toBytes()`	Serializes the cut to a compact byte array.

- Field Detail
  - UNBOUNDED
```
static final StreamCut UNBOUNDED
```
    This is used represents an unbounded StreamCut. This is used when the user wants to refer to the current HEAD of the stream or the current TAIL of the stream.
- Method Detail
  - asImpl
```
io.pravega.client.stream.impl.StreamCutInternal asImpl()
```
    Used internally. Do not call.
    
    Returns:
    
    Implementation of EventPointer interface
  - toBytes
```
java.nio.ByteBuffer toBytes()
```
    Serializes the cut to a compact byte array.
    
    Returns:
    
    A serialized version of this streamcut.
  - asText
```
java.lang.String asText()
```
    Obtains the compact base64 string representation of StreamCut.
    
    Returns:
    
    Base64 representation of the StreamCut.
  - from
```
static StreamCut from(java.lang.String base64String)
```
    Obtains the a StreamCut object from its Base64 representation obtained via asText().
    
    Parameters:
    
    base64String - Base64 representation of StreamCut obtained using asText()
    
    Returns:
    
    The StreamCut object
  - fromBytes
```
static StreamCut fromBytes(java.nio.ByteBuffer cut)
```
    Deserializes the cut from its serialized from obtained from calling toBytes().
    
    Parameters:
    
    cut - A serialized position.
    
    Returns:
    
    The StreamCut object.
