Required Methods§

source

fn is_binary_like(&self) -> bool

Returns true if the data type is binary-like, such as (Large)Utf8 and (Large)Binary.

use lance::arrow::*;
use arrow_schema::DataType;

assert!(DataType::Utf8.is_binary_like());
assert!(DataType::Binary.is_binary_like());
assert!(DataType::LargeUtf8.is_binary_like());
assert!(DataType::LargeBinary.is_binary_like());
assert!(!DataType::Int32.is_binary_like());

source

fn is_struct(&self) -> bool

Returns true if the data type is a struct.

source

fn is_fixed_stride(&self) -> bool

Check whether the given Arrow DataType is fixed stride.

A fixed stride type has the same byte width for all array elements This includes all PrimitiveType’s Boolean, FixedSizeList, FixedSizeBinary, and Decimals
