A Factory to generate TableWriters for use with various importers.

  • Method Details

    • getTableDefinition

      TableDefinition getTableDefinition()
      Get the table definition associated with the table that will be written.
      Returns:
      the table definition.

    • getTableWriter

      @Nullable TableWriter getTableWriter(String columnPartitionValue, boolean append)
      Get a TableWriter for the table and specified partition, optionally appending.
      Parameters:
      columnPartitionValue - the column partition to use. Some implementations allow nulls.
      append - if the table should be appended or replaced.
      Returns:
      an appropriate TableWriter

    • getTableDestination

      @Nullable File getTableDestination(String columnPartitionValue)
      Get a File representing the path where the table will be written.
      Parameters:
      columnPartitionValue - the column partition to find the destination for
      Returns:
      a file at the path the table will be written.

    • getTableWriter

      @Nullable default TableWriter getTableWriter(String columnPartitionValue)
      Get a TableWriter that will replace the specified column partition. This is the same as calling getTableWriter(String, boolean) with false.
      Parameters:
      columnPartitionValue - the column partition
      Returns:
      an appropriate TableWriter

    • getComputedColumnPartition

      @Nullable default String getComputedColumnPartition(@Nullable String inputColumnPartition)
      The method is invoked to determine the partition value to which the current row of data needs to be associated. So in the case where user wants a single partition value for the import this should return that value. In other cases this may simply return the passed in value, however, it is possible to return null indicating that there is no valid column partition.
      Parameters:
      inputColumnPartition - the requested input partition
      Returns:
      the computed column partition
