An array in the arrow columnar format

Required Methods§

Source

fn as_any(&self) -> &dyn Any

Returns the array as Any so that it can be downcasted to a specific implementation.

§Example:


let id = Int32Array::from(vec![1, 2, 3, 4, 5]);
let batch = RecordBatch::try_new(
    Arc::new(Schema::new(vec![Field::new("id", DataType::Int32, false)])),
    vec![Arc::new(id)]
).unwrap();

let int32array = batch
    .column(0)
    .as_any()
    .downcast_ref::<Int32Array>()
    .expect("Failed to downcast");

Source

fn to_data(&self) -> ArrayData

Returns the underlying data of this array

Source

fn into_data(self) -> ArrayData

Returns the underlying data of this array

Unlike Array::to_data this consumes self, allowing it avoid unnecessary clones

Source

fn data_type(&self) -> &DataType

Returns a reference to the DataType of this array.

§Example:

use arrow_schema::DataType;
use arrow_array::{Array, Int32Array};

let array = Int32Array::from(vec![1, 2, 3, 4, 5]);

assert_eq!(*array.data_type(), DataType::Int32);

Source

fn slice(&self, offset: usize, length: usize) -> ArrayRef

Returns a zero-copy slice of this array with the indicated offset and length.

§Example:

use arrow_array::{Array, Int32Array};

let array = Int32Array::from(vec![1, 2, 3, 4, 5]);
// Make slice over the values [2, 3, 4]
let array_slice = array.slice(1, 3);

assert_eq!(&array_slice, &Int32Array::from(vec![2, 3, 4]));

Source

fn len(&self) -> usize

Returns the length (i.e., number of elements) of this array.

§Example:

use arrow_array::{Array, Int32Array};

let array = Int32Array::from(vec![1, 2, 3, 4, 5]);

assert_eq!(array.len(), 5);

Source

fn is_empty(&self) -> bool

Returns whether this array is empty.

§Example:

use arrow_array::{Array, Int32Array};

let array = Int32Array::from(vec![1, 2, 3, 4, 5]);

assert_eq!(array.is_empty(), false);

Source

fn offset(&self) -> usize

Returns the offset into the underlying data used by this array(-slice). Note that the underlying data can be shared by many arrays. This defaults to 0.

§Example:

use arrow_array::{Array, BooleanArray};

let array = BooleanArray::from(vec![false, false, true, true]);
let array_slice = array.slice(1, 3);

assert_eq!(array.offset(), 0);
assert_eq!(array_slice.offset(), 1);

Source

fn nulls(&self) -> Option<&NullBuffer>

Returns the null buffer of this array if any.

The null buffer contains the “physical” nulls of an array, that is how the nulls are represented in the underlying arrow format.

The physical representation is efficient, but is sometimes non intuitive for certain array types such as those with nullable child arrays like DictionaryArray::values, RunArray::values or UnionArray, or without a null buffer, such as NullArray.

To determine if each element of such an array is “logically” null, use the slower Array::logical_nulls to obtain a computed mask.

Source

fn get_buffer_memory_size(&self) -> usize

Returns the total number of bytes of memory pointed to by this array. The buffers store bytes in the Arrow memory format, and include the data as well as the validity map. Note that this does not always correspond to the exact memory usage of an array, since multiple arrays can share the same buffers or slices thereof.

Source

fn get_array_memory_size(&self) -> usize

Returns the total number of bytes of memory occupied physically by this array. This value will always be greater than returned by get_buffer_memory_size() and includes the overhead of the data structures that contain the pointers to the various buffers.

Provided Methods§

Source

fn logical_nulls(&self) -> Option<NullBuffer>

Returns a potentially computed NullBuffer that represents the logical null values of this array, if any.

Logical nulls represent the values that are null in the array, regardless of the underlying physical arrow representation.

For most array types, this is equivalent to the “physical” nulls returned by Array::nulls. It is different for the following cases, because which elements are null is not encoded in a single null buffer:

DictionaryArray where DictionaryArray::values contains nulls
RunArray where RunArray::values contains nulls
NullArray where all indices are nulls
UnionArray where the selected values contains nulls

In these cases a logical NullBuffer will be computed, encoding the logical nullability of these arrays, beyond what is encoded in Array::nulls

Source

fn is_null(&self, index: usize) -> bool

Returns whether the element at index is null according to Array::nulls

Note: For performance reasons, this method returns nullability solely as determined by the null buffer. This difference can lead to surprising results, for example, NullArray::is_null always returns false as the array lacks a null buffer. Similarly DictionaryArray, RunArray and UnionArray may encode nullability in their children. See Self::logical_nulls for more information.

§Example:

use arrow_array::{Array, Int32Array, NullArray};

let array = Int32Array::from(vec![Some(1), None]);
assert_eq!(array.is_null(0), false);
assert_eq!(array.is_null(1), true);

// NullArrays do not have a null buffer, and therefore always
// return false for is_null.
let array = NullArray::new(1);
assert_eq!(array.is_null(0), false);

Source

fn is_valid(&self, index: usize) -> bool

Returns whether the element at index is not null, the opposite of Self::is_null.

§Example:

use arrow_array::{Array, Int32Array};

let array = Int32Array::from(vec![Some(1), None]);

assert_eq!(array.is_valid(0), true);
assert_eq!(array.is_valid(1), false);

Source

fn null_count(&self) -> usize

Returns the total number of physical null values in this array.

Note: this method returns the physical null count, i.e. that encoded in Array::nulls, see Array::logical_nulls for logical nullability

§Example:

use arrow_array::{Array, Int32Array};

// Construct an array with values [1, NULL, NULL]
let array = Int32Array::from(vec![Some(1), None, None]);

assert_eq!(array.null_count(), 2);

Source

fn logical_null_count(&self) -> usize

Returns the total number of logical null values in this array.

Note: this method returns the logical null count, i.e. that encoded in Array::logical_nulls. In general this is equivalent to Array::null_count but may differ in the presence of logical nullability, see Array::nulls and Array::logical_nulls.

§Example:

use arrow_array::{Array, Int32Array};

// Construct an array with values [1, NULL, NULL]
let array = Int32Array::from(vec![Some(1), None, None]);

assert_eq!(array.logical_null_count(), 2);

Source

fn is_nullable(&self) -> bool

Returns false if the array is guaranteed to not contain any logical nulls

This is generally equivalent to Array::logical_null_count() != 0 unless determining the logical nulls is expensive, in which case this method can return true even for an array without nulls.

This is also generally equivalent to Array::null_count() != 0 but may differ in the presence of logical nullability, see Array::logical_null_count and Array::null_count.

Implementations will return true unless they can cheaply prove no logical nulls are present. For example a DictionaryArray with nullable values will still return true, even if the nulls present in DictionaryArray::values are not referenced by any key, and therefore would not appear in Array::logical_nulls.
