What slot number might the record be at?
The raw store guarantees that the record handle of a record will not
change, but it's slot number may. An implementation of a record handle
may provide a hint of the slot number, which may help routines like
Page.getSlotNumber() perform better.
If an implementation does not track slot numbers at all the
implementation should just always return Page.FIRST_SLOT_NUMBER.
The slot number the record handle may be at. |
