org.apache.flink.api.common.typeutils.CompatibilityResult<T>

Type Parameters:

T - the type of the data being migrated.

@PublicEvolving
public final class CompatibilityResult<T>
extends Object

A CompatibilityResult contains information about whether or not data migration is required in order to continue using new serializers for previously serialized data.

Method Summary

boolean	isRequiresMigration()
static <T> CompatibilityResult<T>	requiresMigration() Returns a result that signals migration to be performed.
static <T> CompatibilityResult<T>	requiresMigration(TypeDeserializer<T> convertDeserializer) Returns a result that signals migration to be performed, and in the case that the preceding serializer cannot be found or restored to read the previous data during migration, a provided convert deserializer can be used.

Method Detail

compatible

public static <T> CompatibilityResult<T> compatible()

Returns a result that signals that the new serializer is compatible and no migration is required.

Returns:

a result that signals migration is not required for the new serializer

requiresMigration

public static <T> CompatibilityResult<T> requiresMigration(TypeDeserializer<T> convertDeserializer)

Returns a result that signals migration to be performed, and in the case that the preceding serializer cannot be found or restored to read the previous data during migration, a provided convert deserializer can be used.

Parameters:

convertDeserializer - the convert deserializer to use, in the case that the preceding serializer cannot be found.

Returns:

a result that signals migration is necessary, also providing a convert deserializer.

requiresMigration

public static <T> CompatibilityResult<T> requiresMigration()

Returns a result that signals migration to be performed. The migration will fail if the preceding serializer for the previous data cannot be found.

You can also provide a convert deserializer using requiresMigration(TypeDeserializer), which will be used as a fallback resort in such cases.

Returns:

a result that signals migration is necessary, without providing a convert deserializer.

getConvertDeserializer

public TypeDeserializer<T> getConvertDeserializer()

isRequiresMigration

public boolean isRequiresMigration()
