Constructor Detail

BaseOperation

protected BaseOperation()

Constructs a new instance that retuns an Fields.UNKNOWN Tuple and accepts any number of arguments.

It is a best practice to always declare the field names and number of arguments via one of the other constructors.

BaseOperation

protected BaseOperation(Fields fieldDeclaration)

Constructs a new instance that returns the fields declared in fieldDeclaration and accepts any number of arguments.

Parameters:

fieldDeclaration - of type Fields

BaseOperation

protected BaseOperation(int numArgs)

Constructs a new instance that returns an unknown field set and accepts the given numArgs number of arguments.

Parameters:

numArgs - of type numArgs

BaseOperation

protected BaseOperation(int numArgs,
                        Fields fieldDeclaration)

Constructs a new instance that returns the fields declared in fieldDeclaration and accepts numArgs number of arguments.

Parameters:

numArgs - of type numArgs

fieldDeclaration - of type Fields

Method Detail

prepare

public void prepare(FlowProcess flowProcess,
                    OperationCall<C> operationCall)

Method prepare does nothing, and may safely be overridden.

Specified by:

prepare in interface Operation<C>

cleanup

public void cleanup(FlowProcess flowProcess,
                    OperationCall<C> operationCall)

Method cleanup does nothing, and may safely be overridden.

Specified by:

cleanup in interface Operation<C>

getFieldDeclaration

public Fields getFieldDeclaration()

Description copied from interface: Operation

Returns the fields created by this Operation instance. If this instance is a Filter, it should always return Fields.ALL.

Specified by:

getFieldDeclaration in interface Operation<C>

Returns:

a Fields instance

See Also:

Operation.getFieldDeclaration()

getNumArgs

public int getNumArgs()

Description copied from interface: Operation

The minimum number of arguments this Operation expects from the calling Each or Every Operator.

Operations should be willing to receive more arguments than expected, but should ignore them if they are unused, instead of failing.

Specified by:

getNumArgs in interface Operation<C>

Returns:

an int

See Also:

Operation.getNumArgs()

isSafe

public boolean isSafe()

Description copied from interface: Operation

Returns true if this Operation instance can safely execute on the same 'record' multiple times, false otherwise.

That is, this Operation is safe if it has no side-effects, or if it does, they are idempotent.

If seeing the same 'record' more than once can cause errors (internally or externally), this method must return false.

Specified by:

isSafe in interface Operation<C>

Returns:

a boolean

See Also:

Operation.isSafe()

getTrace

public String getTrace()

Method getTrace returns the trace of this BaseOperation object.

Returns:

the trace (type String) of this BaseOperation object.

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Object

toStringInternal

public static String toStringInternal(Operation operation)

printOperationInternal

public static void printOperationInternal(Operation operation,
                                          StringBuffer buffer,
                                          Scope scope)

equals

public boolean equals(Object object)

Overrides:

equals in class Object

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object
