Expand description

Trait for dealing with different array builders at runtime

§Example

// Create

let mut data_builders: Vec<Box<dyn ArrayBuilder>> = vec![
    Box::new(Float64Builder::new()),
    Box::new(Int64Builder::new()),
    Box::new(StringBuilder::new()),
];

// Fill
data_builders[0]
    .as_any_mut()
    .downcast_mut::<Float64Builder>()
    .unwrap()
    .append_value(3.14);
data_builders[1]
    .as_any_mut()
    .downcast_mut::<Int64Builder>()
    .unwrap()
    .append_value(-1);
data_builders[2]
    .as_any_mut()
    .downcast_mut::<StringBuilder>()
    .unwrap()
    .append_value("🍎");

// Finish
let array_refs: Vec<ArrayRef> = data_builders
    .iter_mut()
    .map(|builder| builder.finish())
    .collect();
assert_eq!(array_refs[0].len(), 1);
assert_eq!(array_refs[1].is_null(0), false);
assert_eq!(
    array_refs[2]
        .as_any()
        .downcast_ref::<StringArray>()
        .unwrap()
        .value(0),
    "🍎"
);

Required Methods§

Source

fn len(&self) -> usize

Returns the number of array slots in the builder

Source

fn finish(&mut self) -> Arc<dyn Array>

Builds the array

Source

fn finish_cloned(&self) -> Arc<dyn Array>

Builds the array without resetting the underlying builder.

Source

fn as_any(&self) -> &(dyn Any + 'static)

Returns the builder as a non-mutable Any reference.

This is most useful when one wants to call non-mutable APIs on a specific builder type. In this case, one can first cast this into a Any, and then use downcast_ref to get a reference on the specific builder.

Source

fn as_any_mut(&mut self) -> &mut (dyn Any + 'static)

Returns the builder as a mutable Any reference.

This is most useful when one wants to call mutable APIs on a specific builder type. In this case, one can first cast this into a Any, and then use downcast_mut to get a reference on the specific builder.

Source

fn into_box_any(self: Box<Self>) -> Box<dyn Any>

Returns the boxed builder as a box of Any.

Provided Methods§

Source

fn is_empty(&self) -> bool

Returns whether number of array slots is zero

Source

fn finish_preserve_values(&mut self) -> Arc<dyn Array>

Builds the array without resetting the values builder.

This is relevant for dictionary builders but also for composite builders. Those are not affected directly, but will call the corresponding method on their constituent builders.

The default implementation just calls finish which is sufficient for all but the above mentioned builders.
