Method Detail

getFamily

public PTypeFamily getFamily()

Description copied from interface: PType

Returns the PTypeFamily that this PType belongs to.

Specified by:

getFamily in interface PType<T>

getTypeClass

public Class<T> getTypeClass()

Description copied from interface: PType

Returns the Java type represented by this PType.

Specified by:

getTypeClass in interface PType<T>

getConverter

public Converter getConverter()

Specified by:

getConverter in interface PType<T>

getInputMapFn

public MapFn getInputMapFn()

Specified by:

getInputMapFn in interface PType<T>

getOutputMapFn

public MapFn getOutputMapFn()

Specified by:

getOutputMapFn in interface PType<T>

getSubTypes

public List<PType> getSubTypes()

Description copied from interface: PType

Returns the sub-types that make up this PType if it is a composite instance, such as a tuple.

Specified by:

getSubTypes in interface PType<T>

getSerializationClass

public Class<W> getSerializationClass()

getDefaultFileSource

public SourceTarget<T> getDefaultFileSource(org.apache.hadoop.fs.Path path)

Description copied from interface: PType

Returns a SourceTarget that is able to read/write data using the serialization format specified by this PType.

Specified by:

getDefaultFileSource in interface PType<T>

equals

public boolean equals(Object obj)

Overrides:

equals in class Object

getDetachedValue

public T getDetachedValue(T value)

Description copied from interface: PType

Returns a copy of a value (or the value itself) that can safely be retained.

This is useful when iterable values being processed in a DoFn (via a reducer) need to be held on to for more than the scope of a single iteration, as a reducer (and therefore also a DoFn that has an Iterable as input) re-use deserialized values. More information on object reuse is available in the DoFn class documentation.

Specified by:

getDetachedValue in interface PType<T>

Parameters:

value - The value to be deep-copied

Returns:

A deep copy of the input value

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object
