public class MapType
extends DataType
implements scala.Product, scala.Serializable

The data type for Maps. Keys in a map are not allowed to have null values.

Please use DataTypes.createMapType() to create a specific instance.

Constructor Detail

MapType

public MapType(DataType keyType,
               DataType valueType,
               boolean valueContainsNull)

MapType

public MapType()

No-arg constructor for kryo.

Method Detail

apply

public static MapType apply(DataType keyType,
                            DataType valueType)

Construct a MapType object with the given key type and value type. The valueContainsNull is true.

Parameters:

keyType - (undocumented)

valueType - (undocumented)

Returns:

(undocumented)

keyType

public DataType keyType()

valueType

public DataType valueType()

valueContainsNull

public boolean valueContainsNull()

defaultSize

public int defaultSize()

The default size of a value of the MapType is (the default size of the key type + the default size of the value type). We assume that there is only 1 element on average in a map. See SPARK-18853.

Specified by:

defaultSize in class DataType

Returns:

(undocumented)
