Array Builders¶
-
class arrow::ArrayBuilder¶
Base class for all data array builders.
This class provides a facilities for incrementally building the null bitmap (see Append methods) and as a side effect the current number of slots and the null count.
Note
Users are expected to use builders as one of the concrete types below. For example, ArrayBuilder* pointing to BinaryBuilder should be downcast before use.
Subclassed by arrow::BaseBinaryBuilder< TYPE >, arrow::BaseListBuilder< TYPE >, arrow::BasicUnionBuilder, arrow::BooleanBuilder, arrow::FixedSizeBinaryBuilder, arrow::FixedSizeListBuilder, arrow::internal::AdaptiveIntBuilderBase, arrow::internal::DictionaryBuilderBase< BuilderType, T >, arrow::internal::DictionaryBuilderBase< BuilderType, NullType >, arrow::MapBuilder, arrow::NullBuilder, arrow::NumericBuilder< T >, arrow::StructBuilder, arrow::BaseBinaryBuilder< BinaryType >, arrow::BaseBinaryBuilder< LargeBinaryType >, arrow::BaseListBuilder< LargeListType >, arrow::BaseListBuilder< ListType >, arrow::internal::DictionaryBuilderBase< AdaptiveIntBuilder, T >, arrow::internal::DictionaryBuilderBase< Int32Builder, T >, arrow::NumericBuilder< DayTimeIntervalType >
Public Functions
-
inline ArrayBuilder *child(int i)¶
For nested types.
Since the objects are owned by this class instance, we skip shared pointers and just return a raw pointer
-
virtual Status Resize(int64_t capacity)¶
Ensure that enough memory has been allocated to fit the indicated number of total elements in the builder, including any that have already been appended.
Does not account for reallocations that may be due to variable size data, like binary values. To make space for incremental appends, use Reserve instead.
- Parameters
capacity – [in] the minimum number of total array values to accommodate. Must be greater than the current capacity.
- Returns
-
inline Status Reserve(int64_t additional_capacity)¶
Ensure that there is enough space allocated to append the indicated number of elements without any further reallocation.
Overallocation is used in order to minimize the impact of incremental Reserve() calls. Note that additional_capacity is relative to the current number of elements rather than to the current capacity, so calls to Reserve() which are not interspersed with addition of new elements may not increase the capacity.
- Parameters
additional_capacity – [in] the number of additional array values
- Returns
-
virtual void Reset()¶
Reset the builder.
-
virtual Status AppendEmptyValue() = 0¶
Append a non-null value to builder.
The appended value is an implementation detail, but the corresponding memory slot is guaranteed to be initialized. This method is useful when appending a null value to a parent nested type.
-
virtual Status AppendEmptyValues(int64_t length) = 0¶
Append a number of non-null values to builder.
The appended values are an implementation detail, but the corresponding memory slot is guaranteed to be initialized. This method is useful when appending null values to a parent nested type.
-
Status Advance(int64_t elements)¶
For cases where raw data was memcpy’d into the internal buffers, allows us to advance the length of the builder.
It is your responsibility to use this function responsibly.
Return result of builder as an internal generic ArrayData object.
Resets builder except for dictionary builder
- Parameters

class arrow::Decimal128Builder : public arrow::FixedSizeBinaryBuilder¶
-
class arrow::ListBuilder : public arrow::BaseListBuilder<ListType>¶
Builder class for variable-length list array value types.
To use this class, you must append values to the child array builder and use the Append function to delimit each distinct list value (once the values have been appended to the child array) or use the bulk API to append a sequence of offsets and null values.
A note on types. Per arrow/type.h all types in the c++ implementation are logical so even though this class always builds list array, this can represent multiple different logical types. If no logical type is provided at construction time, the class defaults to List<T> where t is taken from the value_builder/values that the object is constructed with.
Public Functions
Use this constructor to incrementally build the value array along with offsets and null bitmap.
