Method Details

notNull

public DataType notNull()

Description copied from interface: AbstractDataType

Adds a hint that null values are not expected in the data for this type.

Returns:

a new, reconfigured data type instance

nullable

public DataType nullable()

Description copied from interface: AbstractDataType

Adds a hint that null values are expected in the data for this type (default behavior).

This method exists for explicit declaration of the default behavior or for invalidation of a previous call to AbstractDataType.notNull().

Returns:

a new, reconfigured data type instance

bridgedTo

public DataType bridgedTo(Class<?> newConversionClass)

Description copied from interface: AbstractDataType

Adds a hint that data should be represented using the given class when entering or leaving the table ecosystem.

A supported conversion class depends on the logical type and its nullability property.

Please see the implementation of LogicalType.supportsInputConversion(Class), LogicalType.supportsOutputConversion(Class), or the documentation for more information about supported conversions.

Returns:

a new, reconfigured data type instance

getChildren

public List<DataType> getChildren()

Description copied from class: DataType

Returns the children of this data type, if any. Returns an empty list if this data type is atomic.

Specified by:

getChildren in class DataType

Returns:

the children data types

accept

public <R> R accept(DataTypeVisitor<R> visitor)

Specified by:

accept in class DataType

equals

public boolean equals(Object o)

Overrides:

equals in class DataType

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Overrides:

hashCode in class DataType
