Constructor Details

Union3

public Union3(DataType<A> typeA,
 DataType<B> typeB,
 DataType<C> typeC)

Create an instance of Union3 over the set of specified types.

Method Details

isOrderPreserving

public boolean isOrderPreserving()

Description copied from interface: DataType

Indicates whether this instance writes encoded byte[]'s which preserve the natural sort order of the unencoded value.

Specified by:

isOrderPreserving in interface DataType<A>

Overrides:

isOrderPreserving in class Union2<A,B>

Returns:

true when natural order is preserved, false otherwise.

getOrder

public Order getOrder()

Description copied from interface: DataType

Retrieve the sort Order imposed by this data type, or null when natural ordering is not preserved. Value is either ascending or descending. Default is assumed to be Order.ASCENDING.

Specified by:

getOrder in interface DataType<A>

Overrides:

getOrder in class Union2<A,B>

isNullable

public boolean isNullable()

Description copied from interface: DataType

Indicates whether this instance supports encoding null values. This depends on the implementation details of the encoding format. All DataTypes that support null should treat null as comparing less than any non-null value for default sort ordering purposes.

Specified by:

isNullable in interface DataType<A>

Overrides:

isNullable in class Union2<A,B>

Returns:

true when null is supported, false otherwise.

isSkippable

public boolean isSkippable()

Description copied from interface: DataType

Indicates whether this instance is able to skip over it's encoded value. DataTypes that are not skippable can only be used as the right-most field of a Struct.

Specified by:

isSkippable in interface DataType<A>

Overrides:

isSkippable in class Union2<A,B>

decodeC

public C decodeC(PositionedByteRange src)

Read an instance of the third type parameter from buffer src.
