Method Detail

isOrderPreserving

public boolean isOrderPreserving()

Description copied from interface: DataType

Indicates whether this instance writes encoded byte[]'s which preserve the natural sort order of the unencoded value.

Specified by:

isOrderPreserving in interface DataType<T extends Message>

Returns:

true when natural order is preserved, false otherwise.

getOrder

public Order getOrder()

Description copied from interface: DataType

Retrieve the sort Order imposed by this data type, or null when natural ordering is not preserved. Value is either ascending or descending. Default is assumed to be Order.ASCENDING.

Specified by:

getOrder in interface DataType<T extends Message>

isNullable

public boolean isNullable()

Description copied from interface: DataType

Indicates whether this instance supports encoding null values. This depends on the implementation details of the encoding format. All DataTypes that support null should treat null as comparing less than any non-null value for default sort ordering purposes.

Specified by:

isNullable in interface DataType<T extends Message>

Returns:

true when null is supported, false otherwise.

isSkippable

public boolean isSkippable()

Description copied from interface: DataType

Indicates whether this instance is able to skip over it's encoded value. DataTypes that are not skippable can only be used as the right-most field of a Struct.

Specified by:

isSkippable in interface DataType<T extends Message>

encodedLength

public int encodedLength(T val)

Description copied from interface: DataType

Inform consumers how long the encoded byte[] will be.

Specified by:

encodedLength in interface DataType<T extends Message>

Parameters:

val - The value to check.

Returns:

the number of bytes required to encode val.a

inputStreamFromByteRange

public static CodedInputStream inputStreamFromByteRange(PositionedByteRange src)

Create a CodedInputStream from a PositionedByteRange. Be sure to update src's position after consuming from the stream.

For example:

 Foo.Builder builder = ...
 CodedInputStream is = inputStreamFromByteRange(src);
 Foo ret = builder.mergeFrom(is).build();
 src.setPosition(src.getPosition() + is.getTotalBytesRead());
 

outputStreamFromByteRange

public static CodedOutputStream outputStreamFromByteRange(PositionedByteRange dst)

Create a CodedOutputStream from a PositionedByteRange. Be sure to update dst's position after writing to the stream.

For example:

 CodedOutputStream os = outputStreamFromByteRange(dst);
 int before = os.spaceLeft(), after, written;
 val.writeTo(os);
 after = os.spaceLeft();
 written = before - after;
 dst.setPosition(dst.getPosition() + written);
