All Implemented Interfaces:

Deserializer

Direct Known Subclasses:

S3LogDeserializer, ThriftDeserializer

public abstract class AbstractDeserializer
extends Object
implements Deserializer

Abstract class for implementing Deserializer. The abstract class has been created, so that new methods can be added in the underlying interface, Deserializer, and only implementations that need those methods overwrite it.

Method Detail

initialize

public abstract void initialize(org.apache.hadoop.conf.Configuration conf,
                                Properties tbl)
                         throws SerDeException

Initialize the HiveDeserializer.

Specified by:

initialize in interface Deserializer

Parameters:

conf - System properties

tbl - table properties

Throws:

SerDeException

deserialize

public abstract Object deserialize(org.apache.hadoop.io.Writable blob)
                            throws SerDeException

Deserialize an object out of a Writable blob. In most cases, the return value of this function will be constant since the function will reuse the returned object. If the client wants to keep a copy of the object, the client needs to clone the returned value by calling ObjectInspectorUtils.getStandardObject().

Specified by:

deserialize in interface Deserializer

Parameters:

blob - The Writable object containing a serialized object

Returns:

A Java object representing the contents in the blob.

Throws:

SerDeException

getObjectInspector

public abstract ObjectInspector getObjectInspector()
                                            throws SerDeException

Get the object inspector that can be used to navigate through the internal structure of the Object returned from deserialize(...).

Specified by:

getObjectInspector in interface Deserializer

Throws:

SerDeException

getSerDeStats

public abstract SerDeStats getSerDeStats()

Returns statistics collected when serializing

Specified by:

getSerDeStats in interface Deserializer
