## Class EvaluationStrategies

- java.lang.Object
- - org.eclipse.rdf4j.query.algebra.evaluation.util.EvaluationStrategies

-     public class EvaluationStrategies
      extends Object

  Registry for currently active `EvaluationStrategy` objects. The internal registry uses soft references to allow entries to be garbage-collected when no longer used. Currently, the primary purpose of this is to support (de)serialization of objects (over the lifetime of the VM) that depend on an EvaluationStrategy

      Returns:
        the registered EvaluationStrategy, or `null` if no matching EvaluationStrategy can be found.

    - #### getKey

          public static final UUID getKey(EvaluationStrategy strategy)

      Retrieve the registry key for the given EvaluationStrategy
      Parameters:
        `strategy` - the EvaluationStrategy for which to retrieve the registry key
      Returns:
        the registry key with which the supplied strategy can be retrieved, or `null` if the supplied strategy is not in the registry.

    - #### register

          public static final UUID register(EvaluationStrategy strategy)

      Add a strategy to the registry and returns the registry key. If the strategy is already present, the operation simply returns the key with which it is currently registered.
      Parameters:
        `strategy` - the EvaluationStrategy to register
      Returns:
        the key with which the strategy is registered.
