Method Detail

toByteArray

public byte[] toByteArray()

Returns this Value as a serialized byte array, such that fromByteArray(byte[]) may be used to reconstitute the Value.

Note that this method does not always return an array equal to the getValue() array. The serialized representation of a Value may contain an extra byte identifying the format.

fromByteArray

public static Value fromByteArray(byte[] bytes)

Deserializes the given bytes that were returned earlier by toByteArray() and returns the resulting Value.

Note that an array equal to the getValue() array may not be passed to this method. To create a Value from only the value array, call createValue(byte[]) instead.

createValue

public static Value createValue(byte[] val)

Creates a Value from a value byte array. The format of the returned value is Value.Format.NONE. This method may not be used to create Avro values; for that, use an AvroBinding instead.

getValue

public byte[] getValue()

Returns the value byte array.

getFormat

public Value.Format getFormat()

Returns the value's format.
