Enum Encoding

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable, Comparable<Encoding>, org.apache.thrift.TEnum

public enum Encoding
extends Enum<Encoding>
implements org.apache.thrift.TEnum
    Encodings supported by Parquet. Not all encodings are valid for all types. These enums are also used to specify the encoding of definition and repetition levels. See the accompanying doc for the details of the more complicated encodings.

    • Enum Constant Detail

      • PLAIN

        public static final Encoding PLAIN
        Default encoding. BOOLEAN - 1 bit per value. 0 is false; 1 is true. INT32 - 4 bytes per value. Stored as little-endian. INT64 - 8 bytes per value. Stored as little-endian. FLOAT - 4 bytes per value. IEEE. Stored as little-endian. DOUBLE - 8 bytes per value. IEEE. Stored as little-endian. BYTE_ARRAY - 4 byte length stored as little endian, followed by bytes. FIXED_LEN_BYTE_ARRAY - Just the bytes.

      • PLAIN_DICTIONARY

        public static final Encoding PLAIN_DICTIONARY
        Deprecated: Dictionary encoding. The values in the dictionary are encoded in the plain type. in a data page use RLE_DICTIONARY instead. in a Dictionary page use PLAIN instead

      • RLE

        public static final Encoding RLE
        Group packed run length encoding. Usable for definition/repetition levels encoding and Booleans (on one bit: 0 is false; 1 is true.)

      • BIT_PACKED

        public static final Encoding BIT_PACKED
        Bit packed encoding. This can only be used if the data has a known max width. Usable for definition/repetition levels encoding.

      • DELTA_BINARY_PACKED

        public static final Encoding DELTA_BINARY_PACKED
        Delta encoding for integers. This can be used for int columns and works best on sorted data

      • DELTA_LENGTH_BYTE_ARRAY

        public static final Encoding DELTA_LENGTH_BYTE_ARRAY
        Encoding for byte arrays to separate the length values and the data. The lengths are encoded using DELTA_BINARY_PACKED

      • DELTA_BYTE_ARRAY

        public static final Encoding DELTA_BYTE_ARRAY
        Incremental-encoded byte array. Prefix lengths are encoded using DELTA_BINARY_PACKED. Suffixes are stored as delta length byte arrays.

      • RLE_DICTIONARY

        public static final Encoding RLE_DICTIONARY
        Dictionary encoding: the ids are encoded using the RLE encoding

      • BYTE_STREAM_SPLIT

        public static final Encoding BYTE_STREAM_SPLIT
        Encoding for floating-point data. K byte-streams are created where K is the size in bytes of the data type. The individual bytes of an FP value are scattered to the corresponding stream and the streams are concatenated. This itself does not reduce the size of the data but can lead to better compression afterwards.

    • Method Detail

      • values

        public static Encoding[] values()
        Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows: 
        for (Encoding c : Encoding.values())
    System.out.println(c);
        Returns:
        an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

      • valueOf

        public static Encoding valueOf​(String name)
        Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
        Parameters:
        name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
        Returns:
        the enum constant with the specified name
        Throws:
        IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
        NullPointerException - if the argument is null

      • getValue

        public int getValue()
        Get the integer value of this enum value, as defined in the Thrift IDL.
        Specified by:
        getValue in interface org.apache.thrift.TEnum

      • findByValue

        public static Encoding findByValue​(int value)
        Find a the enum type by its integer value, as defined in the Thrift IDL.
        Returns:
        null if the value is not found.
