Class GlobalWindow.Coder

    • Method Detail

      • encode

        public void encode​(GlobalWindow window,
                           java.io.OutputStream outStream)
        Description copied from class: Coder
        Encodes the given value of type T onto the given output stream.
        Specified by:
        encode in class Coder<GlobalWindow>
      • decode

        public GlobalWindow decode​(java.io.InputStream inStream)
        Description copied from class: Coder
        Decodes a value of type T from the given input stream in the given context. Returns the decoded value.
        Specified by:
        decode in class Coder<GlobalWindow>
      • verifyDeterministic

        public void verifyDeterministic()
        Description copied from class: Coder
        Throw Coder.NonDeterministicException if the coding is not deterministic.

        In order for a Coder to be considered deterministic, the following must be true:

        • two values that compare as equal (via Object.equals() or Comparable.compareTo(), if supported) have the same encoding.
        • the Coder always produces a canonical encoding, which is the same for an instance of an object even if produced on different computers at different times.
        Specified by:
        verifyDeterministic in class Coder<GlobalWindow>
      • consistentWithEquals

        public boolean consistentWithEquals()
        Description copied from class: Coder
        Returns true if this Coder is injective with respect to Object.equals(java.lang.Object).

        Whenever the encoded bytes of two values are equal, then the original values are equal according to Objects.equals(). Note that this is well-defined for null.

        This condition is most notably false for arrays. More generally, this condition is false whenever equals() compares object identity, rather than performing a semantic/structural comparison.

        By default, returns false.

        Overrides:
        consistentWithEquals in class Coder<GlobalWindow>
      • getCoderArguments

        public final java.util.List<Coder<?>> getCoderArguments()
        Description copied from class: Coder
        If this is a Coder for a parameterized type, returns the list of Coders being used for each of the parameters in the same order they appear within the parameterized type's type signature. If this cannot be done, or this Coder does not encode/decode a parameterized type, returns the empty list.
        Specified by:
        getCoderArguments in class Coder<GlobalWindow>
