See row.proto for details.

Modules

• fixed_binary_sizes 🔒

Structs

• DatumEncoder 🔒
  An encoder for a column of Datums.
• RowColumnarDecoder
  A ColumnDecoder for a Row.
• RowColumnarEncoder
  A ColumnEncoder for a Row.

Enums

• DatumColumnDecoder 🔒
  A decoder for a column of Datums.
• DatumColumnEncoder 🔒
  An encoder for a single column of Datums. To encode an entire row see RowColumnarEncoder.

Functions

• array_to_decoder 🔒
  Small helper function to downcast from an array to a DatumColumnDecoder.
• downcast_array 🔒
  Small helper method to make downcasting an Array return an error.
• mask_nulls 🔒
  Merge the provided null buffer with the existing array’s null buffer, if any.
• preserves_order
  Returns true iff the ordering of the “raw” and Persist-encoded versions of this columm would match: ie. sort(encode(column)) == encode(sort(column)). This encoding has been designed so that this is true for many types.
• scalar_type_to_encoder 🔒
  Small helper function to create a DatumColumnEncoder from a ScalarType
