com.illumon.iris.db.v2.TreeTableOrphanPromoter

All Implemented Interfaces:

com.fishlib.base.Function.Unary<Table,Table>

public class TreeTableOrphanPromoter
extends Object
implements com.fishlib.base.Function.Unary<Table,Table>

Identify orphan rows in a table destined for conversion into a tree table, and mask their parent column value to null; so that they show up at the top level of the hierarchy.

This is useful if your data contains values which you can not identify as top-level rows; or if you would like to filter your tree table source; excluding parents which do not meet your filter criteria; but do not want to orphan the matches.

This class should be used by calling TreeTableOrphanPromoter.promoteOrphans(Table, String, String) method.
