Class UnionStructObjectInspector

java.lang.Object

org.apache.hadoop.hive.serde2.objectinspector.StructObjectInspector

org.apache.hadoop.hive.serde2.objectinspector.UnionStructObjectInspector

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.lang.Cloneable, ObjectInspector

public class UnionStructObjectInspector
extends StructObjectInspector

UnionStructObjectInspector unions several struct data into a single struct. Basically, the fields of these structs are put together sequentially into a single struct. The object that can be acceptable by this ObjectInspector is a List of objects, each of which can be inspected by the ObjectInspector provided in the ctor of UnionStructObjectInspector. Always use the ObjectInspectorFactory to create new ObjectInspector objects, instead of directly creating an instance of this class.

Method Detail

getCategory

public final ObjectInspector.Category getCategory()

Description copied from interface: ObjectInspector

An ObjectInspector must inherit from one of the following interfaces if getCategory() returns: PRIMITIVE: PrimitiveObjectInspector LIST: ListObjectInspector MAP: MapObjectInspector STRUCT: StructObjectInspector.

getTypeName

public java.lang.String getTypeName()

Description copied from interface: ObjectInspector

Returns the name of the data type that is inspected by this ObjectInspector. This is used to display the type information to the user. For primitive types, the type name is standardized. For other types, the type name can be something like "list", "map", java class names, or user-defined type names similar to typedef.

getStructFieldRef

public StructField getStructFieldRef(java.lang.String fieldName)

Description copied from class: StructObjectInspector

Look up a field.

Specified by:

getStructFieldRef in class StructObjectInspector

getAllStructFieldRefs

public java.util.List<? extends StructField> getAllStructFieldRefs()

Description copied from class: StructObjectInspector

Returns all the fields.

Specified by:

getAllStructFieldRefs in class StructObjectInspector

getStructFieldData

public java.lang.Object getStructFieldData(java.lang.Object data,
                                           StructField fieldRef)

Description copied from class: StructObjectInspector

returns null for data = null.

Specified by:

getStructFieldData in class StructObjectInspector

getStructFieldsDataAsList

public java.util.List<java.lang.Object> getStructFieldsDataAsList(java.lang.Object data)

Description copied from class: StructObjectInspector

returns null for data = null.

Specified by:

getStructFieldsDataAsList in class StructObjectInspector
