Interface RecordTypeOrBuilder

All Known Implementing Classes:

JoinedRecordType, RecordType, RecordTypeBuilder, SyntheticRecordType

@API(MAINTAINED)
public interface RecordTypeOrBuilder

Common interface implemented by the RecordType and RecordTypeBuilder classes that contains accessors that they are both expected to have. This includes the data necessary to know what is in a record and what indexes are associated with it.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
Descriptors.Descriptor	getDescriptor()	Get the descriptor of the underlying message type.
List<Index>	getIndexes()	Get the list of indexes that are on this record and only this record.
List<Index>	getMultiTypeIndexes()	Gets the list of indexes that are on multiple record types one of which is this type.
String	getName()	Get the name of the record type.
KeyExpression	getPrimaryKey()	Gets the primary key expression for this record type.
Object	getRecordTypeKey()	Gets the Tuple element value that will be used by RecordTypeKeyExpression for this record type.
Integer	getSinceVersion()	Gets a metadata version, which shows when this record type got introduced in the metadata.

Method Detail

getName

@Nonnull
String getName()

Get the name of the record type. This is the same as the name of the underlying message type.

Returns:

the message type name

getDescriptor

@Nonnull
Descriptors.Descriptor getDescriptor()

Get the descriptor of the underlying message type. This specifies what fields the record will have and what their types should be.

Returns:

the message type descriptor

getIndexes

@Nonnull
List<Index> getIndexes()

Get the list of indexes that are on this record and only this record. This does not include indexes that are on multiple types even if one of them is on this type.

Returns:

the list of indexes only on this type

getMultiTypeIndexes

@Nonnull
List<Index> getMultiTypeIndexes()

Gets the list of indexes that are on multiple record types one of which is this type. This will not include Indexes that are on all record types (universal indexes) within a given metadata configuration.

Returns:

the list of indexes on multiple types including this type

getPrimaryKey

@Nullable
KeyExpression getPrimaryKey()

Gets the primary key expression for this record type. Records of this type are inserted based on the value of this key expression when evaluated on the record.

Returns:

the primary key expression for this record type

getSinceVersion

@Nullable
Integer getSinceVersion()

Gets a metadata version, which shows when this record type got introduced in the metadata. This information is used to skip index rebuild for indices on new record types.

Returns:

metadata version when this type is introduced (null if this information is not available)

getRecordTypeKey

@Nullable
Object getRecordTypeKey()

Gets the Tuple element value that will be used by RecordTypeKeyExpression for this record type. The value should be unique among record types and stable in the face of meta-data changes.

Returns:

stable and unique key for record type
