Class TimePartitioning (2.6.2)

public abstract class TimePartitioning implements Serializable

Objects of this class allow to configure table partitioning based on time. By dividing a large table into smaller partitions, you can improve query performance and reduce the number of bytes billed by restricting the amount of data scanned.

Methods

getExpirationMs()

public abstract Long getExpirationMs()

Returns the number of milliseconds for which to keep the storage for a partition. When expired, the storage for the partition is reclaimed. If null, the partion does not expire.

Returns

Type	Description
Long

getField()

public abstract String getField()

If not set, the table is partitioned by pseudo column '_PARTITIONTIME'; if set, the table is partitioned by this field.

Returns

Type	Description
String

getRequirePartitionFilter()

public abstract Boolean getRequirePartitionFilter()

If set to true, queries over this table require a partition filter (that can be used for partition elimination) to be specified.

Returns

Type	Description
Boolean

getType()

public abstract TimePartitioning.Type getType()

Returns the time partitioning type.

Returns

Type	Description
TimePartitioning.Type

newBuilder(TimePartitioning.Type type)

public static TimePartitioning.Builder newBuilder(TimePartitioning.Type type)

Returns a TimePartitioning object given the time partitioning type.

Parameter

Name	Description
type	`TimePartitioning.Type`

Returns

Type	Description
TimePartitioning.Builder

of(TimePartitioning.Type type)

public static TimePartitioning of(TimePartitioning.Type type)

Returns a TimePartitioning object given the time partitioning type. The partitions will not expire.

Parameter

Name	Description
type	`TimePartitioning.Type`

Returns

Type	Description
TimePartitioning

of(TimePartitioning.Type type, long expirationMs)

public static TimePartitioning of(TimePartitioning.Type type, long expirationMs)

Returns a TimePartitioning object given the time partitioning type and the partition's expiration in milliseconds.

Parameters

Name	Description
type	`TimePartitioning.Type` the time partitioning type.
expirationMs	`long` the number of milliseconds for which to keep the storage for a partition

Returns

Type	Description
TimePartitioning
