Method Detail

bagComparator

public static ComparatorExpr bagComparator(int index,
                                           ComparatorExpr expr)

Make a bag comparator expression.

Parameters:

index - the index of datum in the source tuple that is a DataBag object.

expr - a comparator expression that corresponds to the member tuples in the bag.

Returns:

A comparator expression.

Example: suppose we have tuple schema as follows: Tuple { int a; String b; Bag { Tuple { Bytes c; int d; String e; } } f } We would like to sort by Tuple(b, Bag(Negate(Tuple(e, c)))), we can construct the ComparatorExpr as follows; ComparatorExpr expr = tupleComparator( leafComparator(1, DataType.CHARARRAY), bagComparator(2, negateComparator( tupleComparator( leafCmparator(2, DataType.CHARARRAY), leafComparator(0, DataType.BYTEARRAY)))))

exprToString

public static String exprToString(ComparatorExpr expr)

Converting an expression to a string.

Parameters:

expr -

Returns:

A string representation of the comparator expression.

primitiveComparator

public static ComparatorExpr primitiveComparator(int index,
                                                 int type)

Comparator for primitive types.

Parameters:

index - Index in the source tuple.

type - One of the constants defined in DataType for primitive types.

Returns:

Comparator expression.

negationComparator

public static ComparatorExpr negationComparator(ComparatorExpr expr)

Negate comparator

Parameters:

expr - expression to perform negation on.

Returns:

A comparator expression.

tupleComparator

public static ComparatorExpr tupleComparator(Collection<? extends ComparatorExpr> exprs)

Make a Tuple comparator expression.

Parameters:

exprs - member comparator expressions.

Returns:

A comparator expression.

tupleComparator

public static ComparatorExpr tupleComparator(ComparatorExpr... exprs)

Make a Tuple comparator expression.

Parameters:

exprs - member comparator expressions.

Returns:

A comparator expression.
