Constructor Detail

CompositeType

@PublicEvolving
public CompositeType(Class<T> typeClass)

Method Detail

getTypeClass

@PublicEvolving
public Class<T> getTypeClass()

Returns the type class of the composite type

Specified by:

getTypeClass in class TypeInformation<T>

Returns:

Type class of the composite type

getFlatFields

@PublicEvolving
public List<CompositeType.FlatFieldDescriptor> getFlatFields(String fieldExpression)

Returns the flat field descriptors for the given field expression.

Parameters:

fieldExpression - The field expression for which the flat field descriptors are computed.

Returns:

The list of descriptors for the flat fields which are specified by the field expression.

getFlatFields

@PublicEvolving
public abstract void getFlatFields(String fieldExpression,
                                int offset,
                                List<CompositeType.FlatFieldDescriptor> result)

Computes the flat field descriptors for the given field expression with the given offset.

Parameters:

fieldExpression - The field expression for which the FlatFieldDescriptors are computed.

offset - The offset to use when computing the positions of the flat fields.

result - The list into which all flat field descriptors are inserted.

getTypeAt

@PublicEvolving
public abstract <X> TypeInformation<X> getTypeAt(String fieldExpression)

Returns the type of the (nested) field at the given field expression position. Wildcards are not allowed.

Parameters:

fieldExpression - The field expression for which the field of which the type is returned.

Returns:

The type of the field at the given field expression.

getTypeAt

@PublicEvolving
public abstract <X> TypeInformation<X> getTypeAt(int pos)

Returns the type of the (unnested) field at the given field position.

Parameters:

pos - The position of the (unnested) field in this composite type.

Returns:

The type of the field at the given position.

createTypeComparatorBuilder

@PublicEvolving
protected abstract CompositeType.TypeComparatorBuilder<T> createTypeComparatorBuilder()

createComparator

@PublicEvolving
public TypeComparator<T> createComparator(int[] logicalKeyFields,
                                                boolean[] orders,
                                                int logicalFieldOffset,
                                                ExecutionConfig config)

Generic implementation of the comparator creation. Composite types are supplying the infrastructure to create the actual comparators

Returns:

The comparator

hasField

@PublicEvolving
public boolean hasField(String fieldName)

Returns true when this type has a composite field with the given name.

isKeyType

@PublicEvolving
public boolean isKeyType()

Description copied from class: TypeInformation

Checks whether this type can be used as a key. As a bare minimum, types have to be hashable and comparable to be keys.

Specified by:

isKeyType in class TypeInformation<T>

Returns:

True, if the type can be used as a key, false otherwise.

isSortKeyType

@PublicEvolving
public boolean isSortKeyType()

Description copied from class: TypeInformation

Checks whether this type can be used as a key for sorting. The order produced by sorting this type must be meaningful.

Overrides:

isSortKeyType in class TypeInformation<T>

getFieldNames

@PublicEvolving
public abstract String[] getFieldNames()

Returns the names of the composite fields of this type. The order of the returned array must be consistent with the internal field index ordering.

hasDeterministicFieldOrder

@PublicEvolving
public boolean hasDeterministicFieldOrder()

True if this type has an inherent ordering of the fields, such that a user can always be sure in which order the fields will be in. This is true for Tuples and Case Classes. It is not true for Regular Java Objects, since there, the ordering of the fields can be arbitrary. This is used when translating a DataSet or DataStream to an Expression Table, when initially renaming the fields of the underlying type.

getFieldIndex

@PublicEvolving
public abstract int getFieldIndex(String fieldName)

Returns the field index of the composite field of the given name.

Returns:

The field index or -1 if this type does not have a field of the given name.

equals

public boolean equals(Object obj)

Specified by:

equals in class TypeInformation<T>

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Specified by:

hashCode in class TypeInformation<T>

canEqual

public boolean canEqual(Object obj)

Description copied from class: TypeInformation

Returns true if the given object can be equaled with this object. If not, it returns false.

Specified by:

canEqual in class TypeInformation<T>

Parameters:

obj - Object which wants to take part in the equality relation

Returns:

true if obj can be equaled with this, otherwise false

toString

public String toString()

Specified by:

toString in class TypeInformation<T>
