org.apache.flink.streaming.util.serialization

Interface KeyedDeserializationSchema<T>

Type Parameters:

T - The type created by the keyed deserialization schema.

All Superinterfaces:

org.apache.flink.api.java.typeutils.ResultTypeQueryable<T>, Serializable

All Known Implementing Classes:

KeyedDeserializationSchemaWrapper, TypeInformationKeyValueSerializationSchema

public interface KeyedDeserializationSchema<T>
extends Serializable, org.apache.flink.api.java.typeutils.ResultTypeQueryable<T>

The deserialization schema describes how to turn the byte key / value messages delivered by certain data sources (for example Apache Kafka) into data types (Java/Scala objects) that are processed by Flink.

Method Detail

deserialize

T deserialize(byte[] messageKey,
            byte[] message,
            String topic,
            int partition,
            long offset)
              throws IOException

Deserializes the byte message.

Parameters:

messageKey - the key as a byte array (null if no key has been set)

message - The message, as a byte array. (null if the message was empty or deleted)

partition - The partition the message has originated from

offset - the offset of the message in the original source (for example the Kafka offset) @return The deserialized message as an object.

Throws:

IOException

isEndOfStream

boolean isEndOfStream(T nextElement)

Method to decide whether the element signals the end of the stream. If true is returned the element won't be emitted.

Parameters:

nextElement - The element to test for the end-of-stream signal.

Returns:

True, if the element signals end of stream, false otherwise.
