            int position,
            Object o)

Description copied from class: GenericData

Called by GenericDatumReader.readRecord(java.lang.Object, org.apache.avro.Schema, org.apache.avro.io.ResolvingDecoder) to set a record fields value to a record instance. The default implementation is for IndexedRecord.

Overrides:

protected void setField(Object record,
            String name,
            int pos,
            Object o,
            Object state)

Description copied from class: GenericData

Version of GenericData.setField(java.lang.Object, java.lang.String, int, java.lang.Object) that has state.

Overrides:

setField in class GenericData

getField

public Object getField(Object record,
              String name,
              int position)

Description copied from class: GenericData

Called by GenericDatumReader.readRecord(java.lang.Object, org.apache.avro.Schema, org.apache.avro.io.ResolvingDecoder) to retrieve a record field value from a reused instance. The default implementation is for IndexedRecord.

Overrides:

getField in class GenericData

protected Object getField(Object record,
              String name,
              int pos,
              Object state)

Overrides:

getField in class GenericData

isRecord

protected boolean isRecord(Object datum)

Description copied from class: GenericData

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

Overrides:

isRecord in class GenericData

isArray

protected boolean isArray(Object datum)

Returns true also for non-string-keyed maps, which are written as an array of key/value pair records.

Overrides:

isArray in class GenericData

Called to access an array as a collection.

Overrides:

getProtocol

public Protocol getProtocol(Class iface)

By default, this returns a GenericData.Record.

Overrides:

newRecord in class SpecificData
