Class Values


  • public class Values
    extends Object
    Utility for converting from one Connect value to a different form. This is useful when the caller expects a value of a particular type but is uncertain whether the actual value is one that isn't directly that type but can be converted into that type.

    For example, a caller might expects a particular Header to contain an Schema.Type.INT64 value, when in fact that header contains a string representation of a 32-bit integer. Here, the caller can use the methods in this class to convert the value to the desired type:

         Header header = ...
         long value = Values.convertToLong(header.schema(), header.value());
     

    This class is able to convert any value to a string representation as well as parse those string representations back into most of the types. The only exception is Struct values that require a schema and thus cannot be parsed from a simple string.

        Convert the specified value to an Schema.Type.STRING value. Not supplying a schema may limit the ability to convert to the desired type.
        Parameters:
        schema - the schema for the value; may be null
        value - the value to be converted; may be null
        Returns:

      • convertToList

        public static List<?> convertToList​(Schema schema,
                                            Object value)
        Convert the specified value to an Schema.Type.ARRAY value. If the value is a string representation of an array, this method will parse the string and its elements to infer the schemas for those elements. Thus, this method supports arrays of other primitives and structured types. If the value is already an array (or list), this method simply casts and returns it.

        This method currently does not use the schema, though it may be used in the future.

        Parameters:
        schema - the schema for the value; may be null
        value - the value to be converted; may be null
        Returns:
        the representation as a list, or null if the supplied value was null
        Throws:
        DataException - if the value cannot be converted to a list value
      • convertToMap

        public static Map<?,​?> convertToMap​(Schema schema,
                                                  Object value)
        Convert the specified value to an Schema.Type.MAP value. If the value is a string representation of a map, this method will parse the string and its entries to infer the schemas for those entries. Thus, this method supports maps with primitives and structured keys and values. If the value is already a map, this method simply casts and returns it.

        This method currently does not use the schema, though it may be used in the future.

        Parameters:
        schema - the schema for the value; may be null
        value - the value to be converted; may be null
        Returns:
        the representation as a map, or null if the supplied value was null
        Throws:
        DataException - if the value cannot be converted to a map value
      • convertToStruct

        public static Struct convertToStruct​(Schema schema,
                                             Object value)
        Convert the specified value to an Schema.Type.STRUCT value. Structs cannot be converted from other types, so this method returns a struct only if the supplied value is a struct. If not a struct, this method throws an exception.

        This method currently does not use the schema, though it may be used in the future.

        Parameters:
        schema - the schema for the value; may be null
        value - the value to be converted; may be null
        Returns:
        the representation as a struct, or null if the supplied value was null
        Throws:
        DataException - if the value is not a struct
      • convertToTime

        public static Date convertToTime​(Schema schema,
                                         Object value)
        Convert the specified value to an time value. Not supplying a schema may limit the ability to convert to the desired type.
        Parameters:
        schema - the schema for the value; may be null
        value - the value to be converted; may be null
        Returns:
        the representation as a time, or null if the supplied value was null
