Class CoderRegistry

java.lang.Object

org.apache.beam.sdk.coders.CoderRegistry

public class CoderRegistry
extends java.lang.Object

A CoderRegistry allows creating a Coder for a given Java class or type descriptor.

Creation of the Coder is delegated to one of the many registered coder providers based upon the registration order.

By default, the coder provider precedence order is as follows:

• Coder providers registered programmatically with registerCoderProvider(CoderProvider).
• A default coder provider for common Java (Byte, Double, List, ...) and Apache Beam (KV, ...) types.
• Coder providers registered automatically through a CoderProviderRegistrar using a ServiceLoader. Note that the ServiceLoader registration order is consistent but may change due to the addition or removal of libraries exposed to the application. This can impact the coder returned if multiple coder providers are capable of supplying a coder for the specified type.

Note that if multiple coder providers can provide a Coder for a given type, the precedence order above defines which CoderProvider is chosen.

Method Detail

createDefault

public static CoderRegistry createDefault()

Creates a CoderRegistry containing registrations for all standard coders part of the core Java Apache Beam SDK and also any registrations provided by coder registrars.

Multiple registrations which can produce a coder for a given type result in a Coder created by the (in order of precedence):

• coder providers registered programmatically through registerCoderProvider(org.apache.beam.sdk.coders.CoderProvider).
• coder providers for core types found within the Apache Beam Java SDK being used.
• The coder providers from the CoderProviderRegistrar with the lexicographically smallest class name being used.

registerCoderProvider

public void registerCoderProvider(CoderProvider coderProvider)

Registers coderProvider as a potential CoderProvider which can produce Coder instances.

This method prioritizes this CoderProvider over all prior registered coders.

See CoderProviders for common CoderProvider patterns.

registerCoderForClass

public void registerCoderForClass(java.lang.Class<?> clazz,
                                  Coder<?> coder)

Registers the provided Coder for the given class.

Note that this is equivalent to registerCoderForType(TypeDescriptor.of(clazz)). See registerCoderForType(TypeDescriptor, Coder) for further details.

registerCoderForType

public void registerCoderForType(TypeDescriptor<?> type,
                                 Coder<?> coder)

Registers the provided Coder for the given type.

Note that this is equivalent to registerCoderProvider(CoderProviders.forCoder(type, coder)). See registerCoderProvider(org.apache.beam.sdk.coders.CoderProvider) and CoderProviders.forCoder(org.apache.beam.sdk.values.TypeDescriptor<?>, org.apache.beam.sdk.coders.Coder<?>) for further details.

getCoder

public <T> Coder<T> getCoder(java.lang.Class<T> clazz)
                      throws CannotProvideCoderException
