Class ShardedKey.Coder<K>

    • Method Detail

      • getKeyCoder

        public Coder<K> getKeyCoder()
      • encode

        public void encode​(ShardedKey<K> shardedKey,
                           java.io.OutputStream outStream)
                    throws java.io.IOException
        Description copied from class: Coder
        Encodes the given value of type T onto the given output stream.
        Specified by:
        encode in class Coder<ShardedKey<K>>
        Throws:
        java.io.IOException - if writing to the OutputStream fails for some reason
        CoderException - if the value could not be encoded for some reason
      • decode

        public ShardedKey<K> decode​(java.io.InputStream inStream)
                             throws java.io.IOException
        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<ShardedKey<K>>
        Throws:
        java.io.IOException - if reading from the InputStream fails for some reason
        CoderException - if the value could not be decoded for some reason
      • getCoderArguments

        public java.util.List<? extends 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<ShardedKey<K>>
      • verifyDeterministic

        public void verifyDeterministic()
                                 throws Coder.NonDeterministicException
        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<ShardedKey<K>>
        Throws:
        Coder.NonDeterministicException - if this coder is not deterministic.
      • 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<ShardedKey<K>>
      • structuralValue

        public java.lang.Object structuralValue​(ShardedKey<K> shardedKey)
        Description copied from class: Coder
        Returns an object with an Object.equals() method that represents structural equality on the argument.

        For any two values x and y of type T, if their encoded bytes are the same, then it must be the case that structuralValue(x).equals(structuralValue(y)).

        Most notably:

        • The structural value for an array coder should perform a structural comparison of the contents of the arrays, rather than the default behavior of comparing according to object identity.
        • The structural value for a coder accepting null should be a proper object with an equals() method, even if the input value is null.

        See also Coder.consistentWithEquals().

        By default, if this coder is Coder.consistentWithEquals(), and the value is not null, returns the provided object. Otherwise, encodes the value into a byte[], and returns an object that performs array equality on the encoded bytes.

        Overrides:
        structuralValue in class Coder<ShardedKey<K>>
