Enum DefinitionInterpretation 

pub enum DefinitionInterpretation {
    AllValidItem,
    AllValidList,
    NullableItem,
    NullableList,
    EmptyableList,
    NullableAndEmptyableList,
}

This tells us how an array handles definition. Given a stack of these and a nested array and a set of definition levels we can calculate how we should interpret the definition levels.

For example, if the interpretation is [AllValidItem, NullableItem] then a 0 means “valid item” and a 1 means “null struct”. If the interpretation is [NullableItem, NullableItem] then a 0 means “valid item” and a 1 means “null item” and a 2 means “null struct”.

Lists are tricky because we might use up to two definition levels for a single layer of list nesting because we need one value to indicate “empty list” and another value to indicate “null list”.

Implementations

impl DefinitionInterpretation

pub fn num_def_levels(&self) -> u16

How many definition levels do we need for this layer

pub fn is_all_valid(&self) -> bool

Does this layer have nulls?

pub fn is_list(&self) -> bool

Does this layer represent a list?

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for DefinitionInterpretation

fn clone(&self) -> DefinitionInterpretation

Returns a duplicate of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for DefinitionInterpretation

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl PartialEq for DefinitionInterpretation

fn eq(&self, other: &DefinitionInterpretation) -> bool

Tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests for !=. The default implementation is almost always sufficient, and should not be overridden without very good reason.
