Class AbstractSerDe

java.lang.Object

org.apache.hadoop.hive.serde2.AbstractSerDe

All Implemented Interfaces:

Deserializer, SerDe, Serializer

Direct Known Subclasses:

AvroSerDe, BinarySortableSerDe, ColumnarSerDeBase, CustomSerDe1, CustomSerDe2, DynamicSerDe, LazyBinarySerDe, LazySimpleSerDe, MetadataTypedColumnsetSerDe, NullStructSerDe, RegexSerDe, TestSerDe, TypedSerDe

public abstract class AbstractSerDe
extends java.lang.Object
implements SerDe

Abstract class for implementing SerDe. The abstract class has been created, so that new methods can be added in the underlying interface, SerDe, and only implementations that need those methods overwrite it.

Method Detail

initialize

public abstract void initialize(Configuration conf,
                                java.util.Properties tbl)
                         throws SerDeException

Initialize the HiveSerializer.

Specified by:

initialize in interface Deserializer

Specified by:

initialize in interface Serializer

Parameters:

conf - System properties

tbl - table properties

Throws:

SerDeException

getSerializedClass

public abstract java.lang.Class<? extends Writable> getSerializedClass()

Returns the Writable class that would be returned by the serialize method. This is used to initialize SequenceFile header.

Specified by:

getSerializedClass in interface Serializer

serialize

public abstract Writable serialize(java.lang.Object obj,
                                   ObjectInspector objInspector)
                            throws SerDeException

Serialize an object by navigating inside the Object with the ObjectInspector. In most cases, the return value of this function will be constant since the function will reuse the Writable object. If the client wants to keep a copy of the Writable, the client needs to clone the returned value.

Specified by:

serialize in interface Serializer

Throws:

SerDeException

getSerDeStats

public abstract SerDeStats getSerDeStats()

Returns statistics collected when serializing

Specified by:

getSerDeStats in interface Deserializer

Specified by:

getSerDeStats in interface Serializer

deserialize

public abstract java.lang.Object deserialize(Writable blob)
                                      throws SerDeException

Deserialize an object out of a Writable blob. In most cases, the return value of this function will be constant since the function will reuse the returned object. If the client wants to keep a copy of the object, the client needs to clone the returned value by calling ObjectInspectorUtils.getStandardObject().

Specified by:

deserialize in interface Deserializer

Parameters:

blob - The Writable object containing a serialized object

Returns:

A Java object representing the contents in the blob.

Throws:

SerDeException

getObjectInspector

public abstract ObjectInspector getObjectInspector()
                                            throws SerDeException

Get the object inspector that can be used to navigate through the internal structure of the Object returned from deserialize(...).

Specified by:

getObjectInspector in interface Deserializer

Throws:

SerDeException
