Package org.apache.flink.formats.avro.typeutils

Class AvroTypeInfo<T extends org.apache.avro.specific.SpecificRecordBase>

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable
    public class AvroTypeInfo<T extends org.apache.avro.specific.SpecificRecordBase>
extends org.apache.flink.api.java.typeutils.PojoTypeInfo<T>
    Special type information to generate a special AvroTypeInfo for Avro POJOs (implementing SpecificRecordBase, the typed Avro POJOs)

    Proceeding: It uses a regular pojo type analysis and replaces all GenericType<CharSequence> with a GenericType<avro.Utf8>. All other types used by Avro are standard Java types. Only strings are represented as CharSequence fields and represented as Utf8 classes at runtime. CharSequence is not comparable. To make them nicely usable with field expressions, we replace them here by generic type infos containing Utf8 classes (which are comparable),

    This class is checked by the AvroPojoTest.
