StorageEntity (MicroStream API)

All Known Implementing Classes:

StorageEntity.Default
```
public interface StorageEntity
```
Public API level type of a storage entity. Used for custom evaluators, filters, etc. Does intentionally not provide any means to load/access the entity's data or change any if its state. This is purely a querying interface, not a means to manipulate data via bypassing normal channels to do so.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`long`	`cachedDataLength()`	The length this entity occupies in the cache.
`long`	`dataLength()`	the entity's data length, meaning the pure content length without any header or meta data.
`boolean`	`hasReferences()`	The information if this entity's type has reference fields (regardless of a particular entity's actual data).
`long`	`lastTouched()`	The approximate system time that this particular entity has been last touched.
`long`	`objectId()`	The entity's biunique identifying id number.
`long`	`typeId()`	The entity's type id.

- Method Detail
  - dataLength
```
long dataLength()
```
    the entity's data length, meaning the pure content length without any header or meta data.
  - typeId
```
long typeId()
```
    The entity's type id.
  - objectId
```
long objectId()
```
    The entity's biunique identifying id number.
  - hasReferences
```
boolean hasReferences()
```
    The information if this entity's type has reference fields (regardless of a particular entity's actual data).
  - cachedDataLength
```
long cachedDataLength()
```
    The length this entity occupies in the cache. This might be vary, even for fixed length typed, from the values returned by dataLength() as only parts of an entity (e.g. only references) might be loaded into cache and because the cache might hold the header/meta data of an entity as well.
  - lastTouched
```
long lastTouched()
```
    The approximate system time that this particular entity has been last touched. The returned value is compatible to the value returned by System.currentTimeMillis().
