com.datastax.driver.core.DataType.CustomType

Enclosing class:

DataType

public static class DataType.CustomType
extends DataType

A "custom" type is a type that cannot be expressed as a CQL type.

Each custom type is merely identified by the fully qualified class name that represents this type server-side.

The driver provides a minimal support for such types through instances of this class.

A codec for custom types can be obtained via TypeCodec#custom(CustomType).

Method Detail

isFrozen

public boolean isFrozen()

Description copied from class: DataType

Returns whether this data type is frozen.

This applies to User Defined Types, tuples and nested collections. Frozen types are serialized as a single value in Cassandra's storage engine, whereas non-frozen types are stored in a form that allows updates to individual subfields.

Specified by:

isFrozen in class DataType

Returns:

whether this data type is frozen.

getCustomTypeClassName

public String getCustomTypeClassName()

Returns the fully qualified name of the subtype of org.apache.cassandra.db.marshal.AbstractType that represents this type server-side.

Returns:

the fully qualified name of the subtype of org.apache.cassandra.db.marshal.AbstractType that represents this type server-side.
