Class ViewFn<PrimitiveViewT,ViewT>

java.lang.Object

org.apache.beam.sdk.transforms.ViewFn<PrimitiveViewT,ViewT>

Type Parameters:

PrimitiveViewT - the type of the underlying primitive view, provided by the runner <ViewT> the type of the value(s) accessible via this PCollectionView

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable

Direct Known Subclasses:

PCollectionViews.IterableViewFn, PCollectionViews.ListViewFn, PCollectionViews.MapViewFn, PCollectionViews.MultimapViewFn, PCollectionViews.SingletonViewFn

@Internal
public abstract class ViewFn<PrimitiveViewT,ViewT>
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.io.Serializable

For internal use only; no backwards-compatibility guarantees.

A function to adapt a primitive "view" of a PCollection - some materialization specified in the Beam model and implemented by the runner - to a user-facing view type for side input.

Both the underlying primitive view and the user-facing view are immutable.

The most common case is using the View transforms to prepare a PCollection for use as a side input to ParDo. See View.asSingleton(), View.asIterable(), and View.asMap() for more detail on specific views available in the SDK.
