public class ResolvingDecoder extends ValidatingDecoder
Decoder that performs type-resolution between the reader's and
 writer's schemas.
 When resolving schemas, this class will return the values of fields in
 _writer's_ order, not the reader's order.  (However, it returns _only_ the
 reader's fields, not any extra fields the writer may have written.)  To help
 clients handle fields that appear to be coming out of order, this class
 defines the method readFieldOrder().
 
See the parser documentation for information on how this works.
inparser| Modifier and Type | Method and Description | 
|---|---|
Symbol | 
doAction(Symbol input,
        Symbol top)
Handle the action symbol top when the input is
 sought to be taken off the stack. 
 | 
void | 
drain()
Consume any more data that has been written by the writer but not
 needed by the reader so that the the underlying decoder is in proper
 shape for the next record.

double | 
readDouble()
Reads a double written by  
Encoder.writeDouble(double). | 
int | 
readEnum()
Reads an enumeration. 
 | 
Schema.Field[] | 
readFieldOrder()
Returns the actual order in which the reader's fields will be
 returned to the reader. 
 | 
float | 
readFloat()
Reads a float written by  
Encoder.writeFloat(float). | 
int | 
readIndex()
Reads the tag of a union written by  
Encoder.writeIndex(int). |

readLong()
Reads a long written by  
Encoder.writeLong(long). |

ResolvingDecoder
 returns values in the order written by the writer, rather than
 the order expected by the reader.  This method allows readers
 to figure out what fields to expect.  Let's say the reader is
 expecting a three-field record, the first field is a long, the
 second a string, and the third an array.  In this case, a
 typical usage might be as follows:
 
   Schema.Fields[] fieldOrder = in.readFieldOrder();
   for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
     switch (fieldOrder[i].pos()) {
     case 1:
       foo(in.readLong());
       break;
     case 2:
       someVariable = in.readString();
       break;
     case 3:
       bar(in); // The code of "bar" will read an array-of-int
       break;
     }
 
 Note that ResolvingDecoder will return only the
 fields expected by the reader, not other fields that may have
 been written by the writer.  Thus, the iteration-count of "3" in
 the above loop will always be correct.
 Throws a runtime exception if we're not just about to read the
 field of a record.  Also, this method will consume the field
 information, and thus may only be called once before
 reading the field value.  (However, if the client knows the
 order of incoming fields, then the client does not
 need to call this method but rather can just start reading the
 field values.)AvroTypeException - If we're not starting a new recordIOExceptionpublic final void drain()
