Class StandardUnionObjectInspector

java.lang.Object

org.apache.hadoop.hive.serde2.objectinspector.StandardUnionObjectInspector

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.lang.Cloneable, ObjectInspector, UnionObjectInspector

public class StandardUnionObjectInspector
extends java.lang.Object
implements UnionObjectInspector

StandardUnionObjectInspector works on union data that is stored as UnionObject. It holds the list of the object inspectors corresponding to each type of the object the Union can hold. The UniobObject has tag followed by the object it is holding. Always use the ObjectInspectorFactory to create new ObjectInspector objects, instead of directly creating an instance of this class.
