Enum JoinType

java.lang.Object
  extended by java.lang.Enum<JoinType>
      extended by org.apache.crunch.lib.join.JoinType
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, Comparable<JoinType>

public enum JoinType
extends Enum<JoinType>

Specifies the specific behavior of how a join should be performed in terms of requiring matching keys on both sides of the join.


Enum Constant Summary
FULL_OUTER_JOIN
          Join two tables on a common key, also including entries from both tables that have no matching key in the other table.
INNER_JOIN
          Join two tables on a common key.
LEFT_OUTER_JOIN
          Join two tables on a common key, including entries from the left-side table that have no matching key in the right-side table.

Enum Constant Detail

INNER_JOIN

public static final JoinType INNER_JOIN
Join two tables on a common key. Every value in the left-side table under a given key will be present with every value from the right-side table with the same key.

See Also:
Inner Join

LEFT_OUTER_JOIN

public static final JoinType LEFT_OUTER_JOIN
Join two tables on a common key, including entries from the left-side table that have no matching key in the right-side table.

This is an optional method for implementations.

See Also:
Left Join

RIGHT_OUTER_JOIN

public static final JoinType RIGHT_OUTER_JOIN
Join two tables on a common key, including entries from the right-side table that have no matching key in the left-side table.

This is an optional method for implementations.

See Also:
Right Join

FULL_OUTER_JOIN

public static final JoinType FULL_OUTER_JOIN
Join two tables on a common key, also including entries from both tables that have no matching key in the other table.

This is an optional method for implementations.

See Also:
Full Join
Method Detail

values

public static JoinType[] values()
Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:
for (JoinType c : JoinType.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:
an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static JoinType valueOf(String name)
Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:
name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
Returns:
the enum constant with the specified name
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
NullPointerException - if the argument is null
