Constructor Detail

SpecificData

protected SpecificData()

For subclasses. Applications normally use get().

SpecificData

public SpecificData(ClassLoader classLoader)

Construct with a specific classloader.

Method Detail

createDatumReader

public DatumReader createDatumReader(Schema schema)

Description copied from class: GenericData

Returns a DatumReader for this kind of data.

Overrides:

createDatumReader in class GenericData

get

public static SpecificData get()

Return the singleton instance.

isEnum

protected boolean isEnum(Object datum)

Description copied from class: GenericData

Called by the default implementation of GenericData.instanceOf(org.apache.avro.Schema, java.lang.Object).

Overrides:

isEnum in class GenericData

getEnumSchema

protected Schema getEnumSchema(Object datum)

Description copied from class: GenericData

Called to obtain the schema of a enum. By default calls {GenericContainer#getSchema(). May be overridden for alternate enum representations.

Overrides:

getEnumSchema in class GenericData

getClass

public Class getClass(Schema schema)

Return the class that implements a schema, or null if none exists.

getClassName

public static String getClassName(Schema schema)

Returns the Java class name indicated by a schema's name and namespace.

getSchema

public Schema getSchema(Type type)

Find the schema for a Java type.

createSchema

protected Schema createSchema(Type type,
                  Map<String,Schema> names)

Create the schema for a Java type.

getProtocol

public Protocol getProtocol(Class iface)

Return the protocol for a Java interface.

compare

protected int compare(Object o1,
          Object o2,
          Schema s,
          boolean eq)

Description copied from class: GenericData

Comparison implementation. When equals is true, only checks for equality, not for order.

Overrides:

compare in class GenericData

newInstance

public static Object newInstance(Class c,
                 Schema s)

Create an instance of a class. If the class implements SpecificData.SchemaConstructable, call a constructor with a Schema parameter, otherwise use a no-arg constructor.

createFixed

public Object createFixed(Object old,
                 Schema schema)

Description copied from class: GenericData

Called to create an fixed value. May be overridden for alternate fixed representations. By default, returns GenericFixed.

Overrides:

createFixed in class GenericData

newRecord

public Object newRecord(Object old,
               Schema schema)

Description copied from class: GenericData

Called to create new record instances. Subclasses may override to use a different record implementation. The returned instance must conform to the schema provided. If the old object contains fields not present in the schema, they should either be removed from the old object, or it should create a new instance that conforms to the schema. By default, this returns a GenericData.Record.

Overrides:

newRecord in class GenericData
