Struct arrow_schema::Field

pub struct Field { /* private fields */ }

Describes a single column in a Schema.

A Schema is an ordered collection of Field objects.

Implementations

impl Field

pub fn new(name: impl Into<String>, data_type: DataType, nullable: bool) -> Self

Creates a new field

pub fn new_dict(
    name: impl Into<String>,
    data_type: DataType,
    nullable: bool,
    dict_id: i64,
    dict_is_ordered: bool
) -> Self

Creates a new field that has additional dictionary information

pub fn set_metadata(&mut self, metadata: HashMap<String, String>)

Sets the Field’s optional custom metadata. The metadata is set as None for empty map.

pub fn with_metadata(self, metadata: HashMap<String, String>) -> Self

Sets the metadata of this Field to be metadata and returns self

pub const fn metadata(&self) -> &HashMap<String, String>

Returns the immutable reference to the Field’s optional custom metadata.

pub const fn name(&self) -> &String

Returns an immutable reference to the Field’s name.

pub fn with_name(self, name: impl Into<String>) -> Self

Set the name of the Field and returns self.

let field = Field::new("c1", DataType::Int64, false)
   .with_name("c2");

assert_eq!(field.name(), "c2");

pub const fn data_type(&self) -> &DataType

Returns an immutable reference to the Field’s DataType.

pub fn with_data_type(self, data_type: DataType) -> Self

Set DataType of the Field and returns self.

let field = Field::new("c1", DataType::Int64, false)
   .with_data_type(DataType::Utf8);

assert_eq!(field.data_type(), &DataType::Utf8);

pub const fn is_nullable(&self) -> bool

Indicates whether this Field supports null values.

pub fn with_nullable(self, nullable: bool) -> Self

Set nullable of the Field and returns self.

let field = Field::new("c1", DataType::Int64, false)
   .with_nullable(true);

assert_eq!(field.is_nullable(), true);

pub const fn dict_id(&self) -> Option<i64>

Returns the dictionary ID, if this is a dictionary type.

pub const fn dict_is_ordered(&self) -> Option<bool>

Returns whether this Field’s dictionary is ordered, if this is a dictionary type.

pub fn try_merge(&mut self, from: &Field) -> Result<(), ArrowError>

Merge this field into self if it is compatible.

Struct fields are merged recursively.

NOTE: self may be updated to a partial / unexpected state in case of merge failure.

Example:

let mut field = Field::new("c1", DataType::Int64, false);
assert!(field.try_merge(&Field::new("c1", DataType::Int64, true)).is_ok());
assert!(field.is_nullable());

pub fn contains(&self, other: &Field) -> bool

Check to see if self is a superset of other field. Superset is defined as:

• if nullability doesn’t match, self needs to be nullable
• self.metadata is a superset of other.metadata
• all other fields are equal

pub fn size(&self) -> usize

Return size of this instance in bytes.

Includes the size of Self.

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for Field

fn clone(&self) -> Field

Returns a copy of the value.

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

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for Field

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

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Display for Field

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

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Hash for Field

fn hash<H: Hasher>(&self, state: &mut H)

Feeds this value into the given Hasher.

fn hash_slice<H>(data: &[Self], state: &mut H)where
    H: Hasher,
    Self: Sized,

Feeds a slice of this type into the given Hasher.

impl Ord for Field

fn cmp(&self, other: &Self) -> Ordering

This method returns an Ordering between self and other.

fn max(self, other: Self) -> Selfwhere
    Self: Sized,

Compares and returns the maximum of two values.

fn min(self, other: Self) -> Selfwhere
    Self: Sized,

Compares and returns the minimum of two values.

fn clamp(self, min: Self, max: Self) -> Selfwhere
    Self: Sized + PartialOrd<Self>,

Restrict a value to a certain interval.

impl PartialEq<Field> for Field

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

This method tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

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

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

impl PartialOrd<Field> for Field

fn partial_cmp(&self, other: &Self) -> Option<Ordering>

This method returns an ordering between self and other values if one exists.

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

This method tests less than (for self and other) and is used by the < operator.

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

This method tests less than or equal to (for self and other) and is used by the <= operator.

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

This method tests greater than (for self and other) and is used by the > operator.

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

This method tests greater than or equal to (for self and other) and is used by the >= operator.
