StreamElementSerializer (Flink : 1.17-SNAPSHOT API)

java.lang.Object
- org.apache.flink.api.common.typeutils.TypeSerializer<StreamElement>
- - org.apache.flink.streaming.runtime.streamrecord.StreamElementSerializer<T>

Type Parameters:

T - The type of value in the StreamRecord

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable
```
@Internal
public final class StreamElementSerializer<T>
extends TypeSerializer<StreamElement>
```
Serializer for StreamRecord, Watermark, LatencyMarker, and WatermarkStatus.
This does not behave like a normal TypeSerializer, instead, this is only used at the stream task/operator level for transmitting StreamRecords and Watermarks.

- Method Detail
  - getContainedTypeSerializer
```
public TypeSerializer<T> getContainedTypeSerializer()
```
  - isImmutableType
```
public boolean isImmutableType()
```
    Description copied from class: TypeSerializer
    
    Gets whether the type is an immutable type.
    
    Specified by:
    
    isImmutableType in class TypeSerializer<StreamElement>
    
    Returns:
    
    True, if the type is immutable.
  - duplicate
```
public StreamElementSerializer<T> duplicate()
```
    Description copied from class: TypeSerializer
    
    Creates a deep copy of this serializer if it is necessary, i.e. if it is stateful. This can return itself if the serializer is not stateful.
    We need this because Serializers might be used in several threads. Stateless serializers are inherently thread-safe while stateful serializers might not be thread-safe.
    
    Specified by:
    
    duplicate in class TypeSerializer<StreamElement>
  - createInstance
```
public StreamRecord<T> createInstance()
```
    Description copied from class: TypeSerializer
    
    Creates a new instance of the data type.
    
    Specified by:
    
    createInstance in class TypeSerializer<StreamElement>
    
    Returns:
    
    A new instance of the data type.
  - getLength
```
public int getLength()
```
    Description copied from class: TypeSerializer
    
    Gets the length of the data type, if it is a fix length data type.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getLength in class TypeSerializer<StreamElement>
    
    Returns:
    
    The length of the data type, or -1 for variable length data types.
  - copy
```
public StreamElement copy(StreamElement from)
```
    Description copied from class: TypeSerializer
    
    Creates a deep copy of the given element in a new element.
    
    Specified by:
    
    copy in class TypeSerializer<StreamElement>
    
    Parameters:
    
    from - The element reuse be copied.
    
    Returns:
    
    A deep copy of the element.
  - copy
```
public StreamElement copy(StreamElement from,
                          StreamElement reuse)
```
    Description copied from class: TypeSerializer
    
    Creates a copy from the given element. The method makes an attempt to store the copy in the given reuse element, if the type is mutable. This is, however, not guaranteed.
    
    Specified by:
    
    copy in class TypeSerializer<StreamElement>
    
    Parameters:
    
    from - The element to be copied.
    
    reuse - The element to be reused. May or may not be used.
    
    Returns:
    
    A deep copy of the element.
  - copy
```
public void copy(DataInputView source,
                 DataOutputView target)
          throws IOException
```
    Description copied from class: TypeSerializer
    
    Copies exactly one record from the source input view to the target output view. Whether this operation works on binary data or partially de-serializes the record to determine its length (such as for records of variable length) is up to the implementer. Binary copies are typically faster. A copy of a record containing two integer numbers (8 bytes total) is most efficiently implemented as target.write(source, 8);.
    
    Specified by:
    
    copy in class TypeSerializer<StreamElement>
    
    Parameters:
    
    source - The input view from which to read the record.
    
    target - The target output view to which to write the record.
    
    Throws:
    
    IOException - Thrown if any of the two views raises an exception.
  - serialize
```
public void serialize(StreamElement value,
                      DataOutputView target)
               throws IOException
```
    Description copied from class: TypeSerializer
    
    Serializes the given record to the given target output view.
    
    Specified by:
    
    serialize in class TypeSerializer<StreamElement>
    
    Parameters:
    
    value - The record to serialize.
    
    target - The output view to write the serialized data to.
    
    Throws:
    
    IOException - Thrown, if the serialization encountered an I/O related error. Typically raised by the output view, which may have an underlying I/O channel to which it delegates.
  - deserialize
```
public StreamElement deserialize(DataInputView source)
                          throws IOException
```
    Description copied from class: TypeSerializer
    
    De-serializes a record from the given source input view.
    
    Specified by:
    
    deserialize in class TypeSerializer<StreamElement>
    
    Parameters:
    
    source - The input view from which to read the data.
    
    Returns:
    
    The deserialized element.
    
    Throws:
    
    IOException - Thrown, if the de-serialization encountered an I/O related error. Typically raised by the input view, which may have an underlying I/O channel from which it reads.
  - deserialize
```
public StreamElement deserialize(StreamElement reuse,
                                 DataInputView source)
                          throws IOException
```
    Description copied from class: TypeSerializer
    
    De-serializes a record from the given source input view into the given reuse record instance if mutable.
    
    Specified by:
    
    deserialize in class TypeSerializer<StreamElement>
    
    Parameters:
    
    reuse - The record instance into which to de-serialize the data.
    
    source - The input view from which to read the data.
    
    Returns:
    
    The deserialized element.
    
    Throws:
    
    IOException - Thrown, if the de-serialization encountered an I/O related error. Typically raised by the input view, which may have an underlying I/O channel from which it reads.
  - equals
```
public boolean equals(Object obj)
```
    Specified by:
    
    equals in class TypeSerializer<StreamElement>
  - hashCode
```
public int hashCode()
```
    Specified by:
    
    hashCode in class TypeSerializer<StreamElement>
  - snapshotConfiguration
```
public StreamElementSerializer.StreamElementSerializerSnapshot<T> snapshotConfiguration()
```
    Description copied from class: TypeSerializer
    
    Snapshots the configuration of this TypeSerializer. This method is only relevant if the serializer is used to state stored in checkpoints/savepoints.
    The snapshot of the TypeSerializer is supposed to contain all information that affects the serialization format of the serializer. The snapshot serves two purposes: First, to reproduce the serializer when the checkpoint/savepoint is restored, and second, to check whether the serialization format is compatible with the serializer used in the restored program.
    IMPORTANT: TypeSerializerSnapshots changed after Flink 1.6. Serializers implemented against Flink versions up to 1.6 should still work, but adjust to new model to enable state evolution and be future-proof. See the class-level comments, section "Upgrading TypeSerializers to the new TypeSerializerSnapshot model" for details.
    
    Specified by:
    
    snapshotConfiguration in class TypeSerializer<StreamElement>
    
    Returns:
    
    snapshot of the serializer's current configuration (cannot be null).
