Class SetCoder<T>

java.lang.Object

org.apache.beam.sdk.coders.Coder<Set<T>>

org.apache.beam.sdk.coders.StructuredCoder<Set<T>>

org.apache.beam.sdk.coders.IterableLikeCoder<T,Set<T>>

org.apache.beam.sdk.coders.SetCoder<T>

Type Parameters:

T - the type of the elements of the set

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable

public class SetCoder<T>
extends IterableLikeCoder<T,Set<T>>

A SetCoder encodes any Set using the format of IterableLikeCoder. The elements may not be in a deterministic order, depending on the Set implementation.

SetCoder

protected SetCoder(Coder<T> elemCoder)

Method Details

of

public static <T> SetCoder<T> of(Coder<T> elementCoder)

Produces a SetCoder with the given elementCoder.

verifyDeterministic

public void verifyDeterministic()
                         throws Coder.NonDeterministicException

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.

Overrides:

verifyDeterministic in class IterableLikeCoder<T,Set<T>>

Throws:

Coder.NonDeterministicException - always. Sets are not ordered, but they are encoded in the order of an arbitrary iteration.

getEncodedTypeDescriptor

public TypeDescriptor<Set<T>> getEncodedTypeDescriptor()

Description copied from class: Coder

Returns the TypeDescriptor for the type encoded.

Overrides:

getEncodedTypeDescriptor in class Coder<Set<T>>

decodeToIterable

protected final Set<T> decodeToIterable(List<T> decodedElements)

Builds an instance of IterableT, this coder's associated Iterable-like subtype, from a list of decoded elements.

Override IterableLikeCoder.decodeToIterable(List, long, InputStream) if you need access to the terminator value and the InputStream.

Specified by:

decodeToIterable in class IterableLikeCoder<T,Set<T>>

Returns:

A new Set built from the elements in the List decoded by IterableLikeCoder.
