Enum Constant Details

INSERT

public static final RowKind INSERT

Insertion operation.

UPDATE_BEFORE

public static final RowKind UPDATE_BEFORE

Update operation with the previous content of the updated row.

This kind SHOULD occur together with UPDATE_AFTER for modelling an update that needs to retract the previous row first. It is useful in cases of a non-idempotent update, i.e., an update of a row that is not uniquely identifiable by a key.

UPDATE_AFTER

public static final RowKind UPDATE_AFTER

Update operation with new content of the updated row.

This kind CAN occur together with UPDATE_BEFORE for modelling an update that needs to retract the previous row first. OR it describes an idempotent update, i.e., an update of a row that is uniquely identifiable by a key.

DELETE

public static final RowKind DELETE

Deletion operation.

Method Details

values

public static RowKind[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared.

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static RowKind valueOf(String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

NullPointerException - if the argument is null

shortString

public String shortString()

Returns a short string representation of this RowKind.

• "+I" represents INSERT.
• "-U" represents UPDATE_BEFORE.
• "+U" represents UPDATE_AFTER.
• "-D" represents DELETE.

toByteValue

public byte toByteValue()

Returns the byte value representation of this RowKind. The byte value is used for serialization and deserialization.

• "0" represents INSERT.
• "1" represents UPDATE_BEFORE.
• "2" represents UPDATE_AFTER.
• "3" represents DELETE.

fromByteValue

public static RowKind fromByteValue(byte value)

Creates a RowKind from the given byte value. Each RowKind has a byte value representation.

• for mapping of byte value and RowKind.
