Struct GenericByteArray 

pub struct GenericByteArray<T: ByteArrayType> {
    data_type: DataType,
    value_offsets: OffsetBuffer<T::Offset>,
    value_data: Buffer,
    nulls: Option<NullBuffer>,
}

An array of variable length byte arrays

See StringArray and LargeStringArray for storing utf8 encoded string data

See BinaryArray and LargeBinaryArray for storing arbitrary bytes

Example: From a Vec

let arr: GenericByteArray<Utf8Type> = vec!["hello", "world", ""].into();
assert_eq!(arr.value_data(), b"helloworld");
assert_eq!(arr.value_offsets(), &[0, 5, 10, 10]);
let values: Vec<_> = arr.iter().collect();
assert_eq!(values, &[Some("hello"), Some("world"), Some("")]);

Example: From an optional Vec

let arr: GenericByteArray<Utf8Type> = vec![Some("hello"), Some("world"), Some(""), None].into();
assert_eq!(arr.value_data(), b"helloworld");
assert_eq!(arr.value_offsets(), &[0, 5, 10, 10, 10]);
let values: Vec<_> = arr.iter().collect();
assert_eq!(values, &[Some("hello"), Some("world"), Some(""), None]);

Example: From an iterator of option

let arr: GenericByteArray<Utf8Type> = (0..5).map(|x| (x % 2 == 0).then(|| x.to_string())).collect();
let values: Vec<_> = arr.iter().collect();
assert_eq!(values, &[Some("0"), None, Some("2"), None, Some("4")]);

Example: Using Builder

let mut builder = GenericByteBuilder::<Utf8Type>::new();
builder.append_value("hello");
builder.append_null();
builder.append_value("world");
let array = builder.finish();
let values: Vec<_> = array.iter().collect();
assert_eq!(values, &[Some("hello"), None, Some("world")]);

pub fn from_vec(v: Vec<&[u8]>) -> Self

Creates a GenericBinaryArray from a vector of byte slices

See also Self::from_iter_values

pub fn from_opt_vec(v: Vec<Option<&[u8]>>) -> Self

Creates a GenericBinaryArray from a vector of Optional (null) byte slices

fn from_list(v: GenericListArray<OffsetSize>) -> Self

pub fn take_iter<'a>( &'a self, indexes: impl Iterator<Item = Option<usize>> + 'a, ) -> impl Iterator<Item = Option<&'a [u8]>>

Returns an iterator that returns the values of array.value(i) for an iterator with each element i

Returns an iterator that returns the values of array.value(i) for an iterator with each element i

Safety

caller must ensure that the indexes in the iterator are less than the array.len()

impl<T: ByteArrayType> GenericByteArray<T>

pub const DATA_TYPE: DataType = T::DATA_TYPE

Data type of the array.

pub fn new( offsets: OffsetBuffer<T::Offset>, values: Buffer, nulls: Option<NullBuffer>, ) -> Self

Create a new GenericByteArray from the provided parts, panicking on failure

Panics

Panics if GenericByteArray::try_new returns an error

pub fn try_new( offsets: OffsetBuffer<T::Offset>, values: Buffer, nulls: Option<NullBuffer>, ) -> Result<Self, ArrowError>

Create a new GenericByteArray from the provided parts, returning an error on failure

Errors

• offsets.len() - 1 != nulls.len()
• Any consecutive pair of offsets does not denote a valid slice of values

pub unsafe fn new_unchecked( offsets: OffsetBuffer<T::Offset>, values: Buffer, nulls: Option<NullBuffer>, ) -> Self

Create a new GenericByteArray from the provided parts, without validation

Safety

Safe if Self::try_new would not error

pub fn new_null(len: usize) -> Self

Create a new GenericByteArray of length len where all values are null

pub fn new_scalar(value: impl AsRef<T::Native>) -> Scalar<Self>

Create a new Scalar from v

pub fn new_repeated(value: impl AsRef<T::Native>, repeat_count: usize) -> Self

Create a new GenericByteArray where value is repeated repeat_count times.

Panics

This will panic if value’s length multiplied by repeat_count overflows usize.

pub fn from_iter_values<Ptr, I>(iter: I) -> Self

where Ptr: AsRef<T::Native>, I: IntoIterator<Item = Ptr>,

Creates a GenericByteArray based on an iterator of values without nulls

Panics

Panics if the iterator has no upper bound on its size hint, or if the total length of the values exceeds T::Offset::MAX

pub fn into_parts(self) -> (OffsetBuffer<T::Offset>, Buffer, Option<NullBuffer>)

Deconstruct this array into its constituent parts

pub fn value_length(&self, i: usize) -> T::Offset

Returns the length for value at index i.

Panics

Panics if index i is out of bounds.

pub fn offsets(&self) -> &OffsetBuffer<T::Offset>

Returns a reference to the offsets of this array

Unlike Self::value_offsets this returns the [OffsetBuffer] allowing for zero-copy cloning

pub fn values(&self) -> &Buffer

Returns the values of this array

Unlike Self::value_data this returns the [Buffer] allowing for zero-copy cloning

pub fn value_data(&self) -> &[u8]

Returns the raw value data

pub fn is_ascii(&self) -> bool

Returns true if all data within this array is ASCII

pub fn value_offsets(&self) -> &[T::Offset]

Returns the offset values in the offsets buffer

pub unsafe fn value_unchecked(&self, i: usize) -> &T::Native

Returns the element at index i

Note: This method does not check for nulls and the value is arbitrary if is_null returns true for the index.

Safety

Caller is responsible for ensuring that the index is within the bounds of the array

pub fn value(&self, i: usize) -> &T::Native

Returns the element at index i

Note: This method does not check for nulls and the value is arbitrary (but still well-defined) if is_null returns true for the index.

Panics

Panics if index i is out of bounds.

pub fn iter(&self) -> ArrayIter<&Self>

constructs a new iterator

pub fn slice(&self, offset: usize, length: usize) -> Self

Returns a zero-copy slice of this array with the indicated offset and length.

Panics

Panics if offset + length > self.len()

pub fn into_builder(self) -> Result<GenericByteBuilder<T>, Self>

Returns GenericByteBuilder of this byte array for mutating its values if the underlying offset and data buffers are not shared by others.

impl<OffsetSize: OffsetSizeTrait> GenericByteArray<GenericStringType<OffsetSize>>

pub fn num_chars(&self, i: usize) -> usize

Returns the number of Unicode Scalar Value in the string at index i.

Performance

This function has O(n) time complexity where n is the string length. If you can make sure that all chars in the string are in the range U+0x0000 ~ U+0x007F, please use the function value_length which has O(1) time complexity.

pub fn take_iter<'a>( &'a self, indexes: impl Iterator<Item = Option<usize>> + 'a, ) -> impl Iterator<Item = Option<&'a str>>

Returns an iterator that returns the values of array.value(i) for an iterator with each element i

Returns an iterator that returns the values of array.value(i) for an iterator with each element i

Safety

caller must ensure that the indexes in the iterator are less than the array.len()

pub fn try_from_binary( v: GenericBinaryArray<OffsetSize>, ) -> Result<Self, ArrowError>

Fallibly creates a GenericStringArray from a GenericBinaryArray returning an error if GenericBinaryArray contains invalid UTF-8 data
