Write a byte string.

Specified by:

writeBytes in class Encoder

Throws:

IOException

writeBytes

public void writeBytes(byte[] bytes,
                       int start,
                       int len)
                throws IOException

Throws:

IOException

writeFixed

public void writeFixed(byte[] bytes,
                       int start,
                       int length)
                throws IOException

Description copied from class: Encoder

Writes a fixed size binary object.

Specified by:

writeFixed in class Encoder

Parameters:

bytes - The contents to write

start - The position within bytes where the contents start.

length - The number of bytes to write.

Throws:

IOException

writeEnum

public void writeEnum(int e)
               throws IOException

Description copied from class: Encoder

Writes an enumeration.

Specified by:

Throws:

IOException

writeArrayStart

public void writeArrayStart()
                     throws IOException

Description copied from class: Encoder

Call this method to start writing an array. When starting to serialize an array, call Encoder.writeArrayStart(). Then, before writing any data for any item call Encoder.setItemCount(long) followed by a sequence of Encoder.startItem() and the item itself. The number of Encoder.startItem() should match the number specified in Encoder.setItemCount(long). When actually writing the data of the item, you can call any Encoder method (e.g., Encoder.writeLong(long)). When all items of the array have been written, call Encoder.writeArrayEnd(). As an example, let's say you want to write an array of records, the record consisting of an Long field and a Boolean field. Your code would look something like this:

  out.writeArrayStart();
  out.setItemCount(list.size());
  for (Record r : list) {
    out.startItem();
    out.writeLong(r.longField);
    out.writeBoolean(r.boolField);
  }
  out.writeArrayEnd();
  

Specified by:

writeArrayStart in class Encoder

Throws:

IOException

setItemCount

public void setItemCount(long itemCount)
                  throws IOException

Description copied from class: Encoder

Call this method before writing a batch of items in an array or a map. Then for each item, call Encoder.startItem() followed by any of the other write methods of Encoder. The number of calls to Encoder.startItem() must be equal to the count specified in Encoder.setItemCount(long). Once a batch is completed you can start another batch with Encoder.setItemCount(long).

Specified by:

setItemCount in class Encoder

Parameters:

itemCount - The number of Encoder.startItem() calls to follow.

Throws:

IOException

startItem

public void startItem()
               throws IOException

Description copied from class: Encoder

Start a new item of an array or map. See Encoder.writeArrayStart() for usage information.

Specified by:

startItem in class Encoder

Throws:

IOException

writeArrayEnd

public void writeArrayEnd()
                   throws IOException

Description copied from class: Encoder

Call this method to finish writing an array. See Encoder.writeArrayStart() for usage information.

Specified by:

writeArrayEnd in class Encoder

Throws:

IOException

writeMapStart

public void writeMapStart()
                   throws IOException

Description copied from class: Encoder

Call this to start a new map. See Encoder.writeArrayStart() for details on usage. As an example of usage, let's say you want to write a map of records, the record consisting of an Long field and a Boolean field. Your code would look something like this:

 out.writeMapStart();
 out.setItemCount(list.size());
 for (Map.Entry entry : map.entrySet()) {
   out.startItem();
   out.writeString(entry.getKey());
   out.writeLong(entry.getValue().longField);
   out.writeBoolean(entry.getValue().boolField);
 }
 out.writeMapEnd();
 

Specified by:

writeMapStart in class Encoder

Throws:

IOException

writeMapEnd

public void writeMapEnd()
                 throws IOException

Description copied from class: Encoder

Call this method to terminate the inner-most, currently-opened map. See Encoder.writeArrayStart() for more details.

Specified by:

writeMapEnd in class Encoder

Throws:

IOException

writeIndex

public void writeIndex(int unionIndex)
                throws IOException

Description copied from class: Encoder

Call this method to write the tag of a union. As an example of usage, let's say you want to write a union, whose second branch is a record consisting of an Long field and a Boolean field. Your code would look something like this:

 out.writeIndex(1);
 out.writeLong(record.longField);
 out.writeBoolean(record.boolField);
 

Specified by:

writeIndex in class Encoder

Throws:

IOException

reset

public void reset()

After writing a complete object that conforms to the schema or after an error, if you want to start writing another object, call this method.
