Class Value

public abstract class Value implements Serializable

Represents a value to be consumed by the Cloud Spanner API. A value can be NULL or non-NULL; regardless, values always have an associated type.

The Value API is optimized for construction, since this is the majority use-case when using this class with the Cloud Spanner libraries. The factory method signatures and internal representations are design to minimize memory usage and object creation while still maintaining the immutability contract of this class. In particular, arrays of primitive types can be constructed without requiring boxing into collections of wrapper types. The getters in this class are intended primarily for test purposes, and so do not share the same performance characteristics; in particular, getters for array types may be expensive.

Value instances are immutable.

Static Fields

COMMIT_TIMESTAMP

public static final Timestamp COMMIT_TIMESTAMP

Placeholder value to be passed to a mutation to make Cloud Spanner store the commit timestamp in that column. The commit timestamp is the timestamp corresponding to when Cloud Spanner commits the transaction containing the mutation.

Note that this particular timestamp instance has no semantic meaning. In particular the value of seconds and nanoseconds in this timestamp are meaningless. This placeholder can only be used for columns that have set the option "(allow_commit_timestamp=true)" in the schema.

When reading the value stored in such a column, the value returned is an actual timestamp corresponding to the commit time of the transaction, which has no relation to this placeholder. See Also: Transaction Semantics

numeric(BigDecimal v)

public static Value numeric(BigDecimal v)

Returns a NUMERIC value.

The max length of the fractional part is 9 digits. Trailing zeros in the fractional part are not considered and will be lost, as Cloud Spanner does not preserve the precision of a numeric value.

If you set a numeric value of a record to for example 0.10, Cloud Spanner will return this value as 0.1 in subsequent queries. Use BigDecimal#stripTrailingZeros() to compare inserted values with retrieved values if your application might insert numeric values with trailing zeros.
