Method Details

classify

public static EncodingStrategyHint classify(Int32Array data)

Auto-encodes this Int32Array by the encoding strategy with the minimal size.

Parameters:

data - the data to encode

Returns:

the EncodingStrategyHint instance which provides all information needed to encode/decode it

encode

public static ByteArray encode(Int32Array column, String encoding)

Encode an Int32Array using the given encoding strategy.

Parameters:

column - the data to encode

encoding - how to encode

Returns:

encoded data

classify

public static EncodingStrategyHint classify(Float64Array data)

Auto-encodes this FloatArray by the encoding strategy with the minimal size. All Float64Array instances are encoded as Int32Array after finding a reasonable FixedPointEncoding.

Parameters:

data - the data to encode

Returns:

the EncodingStrategyHint providing all information needed to encode/decode it

classifyPrecision

public static EncodingStrategyHint classifyPrecision(Float64Array data)

Determines the precision needed to encode this column in a lossless fashion.

Parameters:

data - the data to handle

Returns:

an EncodingStrategyHint instance with the determined precision stored in the precision field
