org.apache.flink.util.TernaryBoolean

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<TernaryBoolean>

@PublicEvolving
public enum TernaryBoolean
extends Enum<TernaryBoolean>

A ternary boolean, which can have the values 'true', 'false', or 'undefined'.

A ternary boolean can for example be used to configuration switches that may be not configured (undefined), in which case a default value should be assumed.

Enum Constant Detail

TRUE

public static final TernaryBoolean TRUE

The value for 'true'.

FALSE

public static final TernaryBoolean FALSE

The value for 'false'.

UNDEFINED

public static final TernaryBoolean UNDEFINED

The value for 'undefined'. In a configuration setting, this typically means that the default value will be used, or the value from a deployment-wide configuration.

Method Detail

values

public static TernaryBoolean[] 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 (TernaryBoolean c : TernaryBoolean.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

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

valueOf

public static TernaryBoolean 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

getOrDefault

public boolean getOrDefault(boolean defaultValue)

Gets the boolean value corresponding to this value. If this is the 'undefined' value, the method returns the given default.

Parameters:

defaultValue - The value to be returned in case this ternary value is 'undefined'.

resolveUndefined

public TernaryBoolean resolveUndefined(boolean valueForUndefined)

Gets the boolean value corresponding to this value. If this is the 'UNDEFINED' value, the method returns the given valueForUndefined.

Parameters:

valueForUndefined - The value to be returned in case this ternary value is 'undefined'.

getAsBoolean

@Nullable
public Boolean getAsBoolean()

Gets this ternary boolean as a boxed boolean. The value 'undefined' results in 'null.

fromBoolean

public static TernaryBoolean fromBoolean(boolean bool)

Converts the given boolean to a TernaryBoolean, TRUE or FALSE respectively.

fromBoxedBoolean

public static TernaryBoolean fromBoxedBoolean(@Nullable
                                              Boolean bool)

Converts the given boxed Boolean to a TernaryBoolean. A null value results in UNDEFINED, while a non-null value results in TRUE or FALSE respectively.
