      public static UnionCoder of(List<Coder<?>> elementCoders)

      Builds a union coder with the given list of element coders. This list corresponds to a mapping of union tag to Coder. Union tags start at 0.

    • jsonOf

      public static UnionCoder jsonOf(List<Coder<?>> elements)

    • encode

      public void encode(RawUnionValue union,
                         OutputStream outStream,
                         Coder.Context context)
                  throws IOException,
                         CoderException

      Description copied from interface: Coder
      Encodes the given value of type T onto the given output stream in the given context.

      Throws:

      IOException - if writing to the OutputStream fails for some reason

      CoderException - if the value could not be encoded for some reason

    • decode

      public RawUnionValue decode(InputStream inStream,
                                  Coder.Context context)
                           throws IOException,
                                  CoderException

      Description copied from interface: Coder
      Decodes a value of type T from the given input stream in the given context. Returns the decoded value.

      Throws:

      IOException - if reading from the InputStream fails for some reason

      CoderException - if the value could not be decoded for some reason

    • getCoderArguments

      public List<? extends Coder<?>> getCoderArguments()

      Description copied from interface: Coder
      If this is a Coder for a parameterized type, returns the list of Coders being used for each of the parameters, or returns null if this cannot be done or this is not a parameterized type.

    • getComponents

      public List<? extends Coder<?>> getComponents()

      Description copied from class: StandardCoder
      Returns the list of Coders that are components of this Coder.

      Overrides:

      getComponents in class StandardCoder<RawUnionValue>

    • isRegisterByteSizeObserverCheap

      public boolean isRegisterByteSizeObserverCheap(RawUnionValue union,
                                                     Coder.Context context)

      Since this coder uses elementCoders.get(index) and coders that are known to run in constant time, we defer the return value to that coder.

      Specified by:

      isRegisterByteSizeObserverCheap in interface Coder<RawUnionValue>

      Overrides:

      isRegisterByteSizeObserverCheap in class StandardCoder<RawUnionValue>

      Returns:

      false unless it is overridden. StandardCoder.registerByteSizeObserver(T, com.google.cloud.dataflow.sdk.util.common.ElementByteSizeObserver, com.google.cloud.dataflow.sdk.coders.Coder.Context) invokes StandardCoder.getEncodedElementByteSize(T, com.google.cloud.dataflow.sdk.coders.Coder.Context) which requires re-encoding an element unless it is overridden. This is considered expensive.

    • registerByteSizeObserver

      public void registerByteSizeObserver(RawUnionValue union,
                                           com.google.cloud.dataflow.sdk.util.common.ElementByteSizeObserver observer,
                                           Coder.Context context)
                                    throws Exception

      Notifies ElementByteSizeObserver about the byte size of the encoded value using this coder.

      Specified by:

      registerByteSizeObserver in interface Coder<RawUnionValue>

      Overrides:

      registerByteSizeObserver in class StandardCoder<RawUnionValue>

      Throws:

      Exception

    • verifyDeterministic

      public void verifyDeterministic()
                               throws Coder.NonDeterministicException

      Description copied from interface: Coder
      Throw Coder.NonDeterministicException if the coding is not deterministic.

      In order for a Coder to be considered deterministic, the following must be true:

      • two values that compare as equal (via Object.equals() or Comparable.compareTo(), if supported) have the same encoding.
      • the Coder always produces a canonical encoding, which is the same for an instance of an object even if produced on different computers at different times.

      Throws:

      Coder.NonDeterministicException - if this coder is not deterministic.
