All Implemented Interfaces:

public enum PropertyComparisonOperator
extends Enum<PropertyComparisonOperator>
implements Serializable

PropertyComparisonOperator is used for search requests against a metadata collection. It defines how the properties should be compared to find a matching result. The property comparison operator values are:

• EQUAL: when the property has a value that precisely equals the provided value. This is the default.
• NOT_EQUAL: when the property has a value that is not equal to the provided value.
• LESS_THAN: when the property has a value that is strictly less than the provided value.
• LESS_THAN_OR_EQUAL: when the property has a value that is less than, or equal to, the provided value.
• GREATER_THAN: when the property has a value that is strictly greater than the provided value.
• GREATER_THAN_OR_EQUAL: when the property has a value that is greater than, or equal to, the provided value.
• IN_LIST: when the property has a value that matches at least one element of the provided list of values.
• IS_NULL: when the property has no value.
• IS_NOT_NULL: when the property has any non-null value.
• LIKE: when the property has a value that matches the provided regular expression. This should only be applied to String properties, and should still be used even for exact matches for String properties.
