Class RawString

java.lang.Object
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.types.RawString
All Implemented Interfaces:
DataType<String>
@Public public class RawString extends Object implements DataType<String>
An DataType for interacting with values encoded using Bytes.toBytes(String). Intended to make it easier to transition away from direct use of Bytes.

    • 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<String>
      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<String>

    • 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<String>
      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<String>

    • skip

      public int skip(PositionedByteRange src)
      Description copied from interface: DataType
      Skip src's position forward over one encoded value.
      Specified by:
      skip in interface DataType<String>
      Parameters:
      src - the buffer containing the encoded value.
      Returns:
      number of bytes skipped.

    • encodedLength

      public int encodedLength(String val)
      Description copied from interface: DataType
      Inform consumers how long the encoded byte[] will be.
      Specified by:
      encodedLength in interface DataType<String>
      Parameters:
      val - The value to check.
      Returns:
      the number of bytes required to encode val.a

    • encodedClass

      public Class<String> encodedClass()
      Description copied from interface: DataType
      Inform consumers over what type this DataType operates. Useful when working with bare DataType instances.
      Specified by:
      encodedClass in interface DataType<String>

    • decode

      public String decode(PositionedByteRange src)
      Description copied from interface: DataType
      Read an instance of T from the buffer src.
      Specified by:
      decode in interface DataType<String>
      Parameters:
      src - the buffer containing the encoded value.

    • encode

      public int encode(PositionedByteRange dst, String val)
      Description copied from interface: DataType
      Write instance val into buffer dst.
      Specified by:
      encode in interface DataType<String>
      Parameters:
      dst - the buffer containing the encoded value.
      val - the value to encode onto dst.
      Returns:
      number of bytes written.
