Method Detail

testAssignment

AssignmentTestable.TestResult testAssignment(java.lang.String keyspace,
                                             ColumnSpecification receiver)

Returns:

whether this object can be assigned to the provided receiver. We distinguish between 3 values: - EXACT_MATCH if this object is exactly of the type expected by the receiver - WEAKLY_ASSIGNABLE if this object is not exactly the expected type but is assignable nonetheless - NOT_ASSIGNABLE if it's not assignable Most caller should just call the isAssignable() method on the result, though functions have a use for testing "strong" equality to decide the most precise overload to pick when multiple could match.
