Struct arrow::datatypes::Field

pub struct Field { /* fields omitted */ }

Contains the meta-data for a single relative type.

The Schema object is an ordered collection of Field objects.

Implementations

impl Field

pub fn new(name: &str, data_type: DataType, nullable: bool) -> Self

Creates a new field

pub fn new_dict(
    name: &str,
    data_type: DataType,
    nullable: bool,
    dict_id: i64,
    dict_is_ordered: bool
) -> Self

Creates a new field

pub fn set_metadata(&mut self, metadata: Option<BTreeMap<String, String>>)

Sets the Field’s optional custom metadata. The metadata is set as None for empty map.

pub const fn metadata(&self) -> &Option<BTreeMap<String, String>>

Returns the immutable reference to the Field’s optional custom metadata.

pub const fn name(&self) -> &String

Returns an immutable reference to the Field’s name.

pub const fn data_type(&self) -> &DataType

Returns an immutable reference to the Field’s data-type.

pub const fn is_nullable(&self) -> bool

Indicates whether this Field supports null values.

pub const fn dict_id(&self) -> Option<i64>

Returns the dictionary ID, if this is a dictionary type.

pub const fn dict_is_ordered(&self) -> Option<bool>

Returns whether this Field’s dictionary is ordered, if this is a dictionary type.

pub fn from(json: &Value) -> Result<Self>

Parse a Field definition from a JSON representation.

pub fn to_json(&self) -> Value

Generate a JSON representation of the Field.

pub fn try_merge(&mut self, from: &Field) -> Result<()>

Merge field into self if it is compatible. Struct will be merged recursively. NOTE: self may be updated to unexpected state in case of merge failure.

Example:

use arrow::datatypes::*;

let mut field = Field::new("c1", DataType::Int64, false);
assert!(field.try_merge(&Field::new("c1", DataType::Int64, true)).is_ok());
assert!(field.is_nullable());

pub fn contains(&self, other: &Field) -> bool

Check to see if self is a superset of other field. Superset is defined as:

• if nullability doesn’t match, self needs to be nullable
• self.metadata is a superset of other.metadata
• all other fields are equal
