Method Detail

createInstance

public abstract T createInstance(@Nonnull
                                 Object... values)

Create new instance from its fields.

setField

protected abstract void setField(@Nonnull
                                 T value,
                                 int index,
                                 Object fieldValue)

Modify field of existing instance. Supported only by mutable types.

getField

protected abstract Object getField(@Nonnull
                                   T value,
                                   int index)

Get field of existing instance.

createSerializerInstance

protected abstract CompositeSerializer<T> createSerializerInstance(CompositeSerializer.PrecomputedParameters precomputed,
                                                                   TypeSerializer<?>... originalSerializers)

Factory for concrete serializer.

duplicate

public CompositeSerializer<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<T>

isImmutableType

public boolean isImmutableType()

Description copied from class: TypeSerializer

Gets whether the type is an immutable type.

Specified by:

isImmutableType in class TypeSerializer<T>

Returns:

True, if the type is immutable.

createInstance

public T createInstance()

Description copied from class: TypeSerializer

Creates a new instance of the data type.

Specified by:

createInstance in class TypeSerializer<T>

Returns:

A new instance of the data type.

copy

public T copy(T from)

Description copied from class: TypeSerializer

Creates a deep copy of the given element in a new element.

Specified by:

copy in class TypeSerializer<T>

Parameters:

from - The element reuse be copied.

Returns:

A deep copy of the element.

copy

public T copy(T from,
              T 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<T>

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.

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<T>

Returns:

The length of the data type, or -1 for variable length data types.

serialize

public void serialize(T record,
                      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<T>

Parameters:

record - 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 T 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<T>

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 T deserialize(T 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<T>

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.

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<T>

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.

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Specified by:

hashCode in class TypeSerializer<T>

equals

public boolean equals(Object obj)

Specified by:

equals in class TypeSerializer<T>
