Type Definition arrow_array::array::ArrayRef

pub type ArrayRef = Arc<dyn Array>;

A reference-counted reference to a generic Array.

Trait Implementations

impl Array for ArrayRef

Ergonomics: Allow use of an ArrayRef as an &dyn Array

fn as_any(&self) -> &dyn Any

Returns the array as Any so that it can be downcasted to a specific implementation.

fn data(&self) -> &ArrayData

Returns a reference to the underlying data of this array.

fn into_data(self) -> ArrayData

Returns the underlying data of this array.

fn data_ref(&self) -> &ArrayData

Returns a reference-counted pointer to the underlying data of this array.

fn data_type(&self) -> &DataType

Returns a reference to the DataType of this array.

fn slice(&self, offset: usize, length: usize) -> ArrayRef

Returns a zero-copy slice of this array with the indicated offset and length.

fn len(&self) -> usize

Returns the length (i.e., number of elements) of this array.

fn is_empty(&self) -> bool

Returns whether this array is empty.

fn offset(&self) -> usize

Returns the offset into the underlying data used by this array(-slice). Note that the underlying data can be shared by many arrays. This defaults to 0.

fn is_null(&self, index: usize) -> bool

Returns whether the element at index is null. When using this function on a slice, the index is relative to the slice.

fn is_valid(&self, index: usize) -> bool

Returns whether the element at index is not null. When using this function on a slice, the index is relative to the slice.

fn null_count(&self) -> usize

Returns the total number of null values in this array.

fn get_buffer_memory_size(&self) -> usize

Returns the total number of bytes of memory pointed to by this array. The buffers store bytes in the Arrow memory format, and include the data as well as the validity map.

fn get_array_memory_size(&self) -> usize

Returns the total number of bytes of memory occupied physically by this array. This value will always be greater than returned by get_buffer_memory_size() and includes the overhead of the data structures that contain the pointers to the various buffers.
