Detailed Description

template<typename T>
class avro::DataFileReader< T >

Reads the contents of data file one after another.


Constructor & Destructor Documentation

template<typename T>
avro::DataFileReader< T >::DataFileReader ( std::auto_ptr< DataFileReaderBase base  )  [inline]

Constructs a reader using the reader base.

This form of constructor allows the user to examine the schema of a given file and then decide to use the right type of data to be desrialize. Without this the user must know the type of data for the template _before_ he knows the schema within the file. The schema present in the data file will be used for reading from this reader.

template<typename T>
avro::DataFileReader< T >::DataFileReader ( std::auto_ptr< DataFileReaderBase base,
const ValidSchema readerSchema 
) [inline]

Constructs a reader using the reader base.

This form of constructor allows the user to examine the schema of a given file and then decide to use the right type of data to be desrialize. Without this the user must know the type of data for the template _before_ he knows the schema within the file. The argument readerSchema will be used for reading from this reader.


Member Function Documentation

template<typename T>
void avro::DataFileReader< T >::close (  )  [inline]

Closes the reader.

No further operation is possible on this reader.

template<typename T>
bool avro::DataFileReader< T >::read ( T &  datum  )  [inline]

Reads the next entry from the data file.

Returns:
true if an object has been successfully read into datum and false if there are no more entries in the file.
