pub struct BinaryArray<O: Offset> { /* private fields */ }
Expand description

A BinaryArray is Arrow’s semantically equivalent of an immutable Vec<Option<Vec<u8>>>. It implements Array.

The size of this struct is O(1), as all data is stored behind an std::sync::Arc.

Example

use arrow2::array::BinaryArray;
use arrow2::bitmap::Bitmap;
use arrow2::buffer::Buffer;

let array = BinaryArray::<i32>::from([Some([1, 2].as_ref()), None, Some([3].as_ref())]);
assert_eq!(array.value(0), &[1, 2]);
assert_eq!(array.iter().collect::<Vec<_>>(), vec![Some([1, 2].as_ref()), None, Some([3].as_ref())]);
assert_eq!(array.values_iter().collect::<Vec<_>>(), vec![[1, 2].as_ref(), &[], &[3]]);
// the underlying representation:
assert_eq!(array.values(), &Buffer::from(vec![1, 2, 3]));
assert_eq!(array.offsets(), &Buffer::from(vec![0, 2, 2, 3]));
assert_eq!(array.validity(), Some(&Bitmap::from([true, false, true])));

Generic parameter

The generic parameter Offset can only be i32 or i64 and tradeoffs maximum array length with memory usage:

  • the sum of lengths of all elements cannot exceed Offset::MAX
  • the total size of the underlying data is array.len() * size_of::<Offset>() + sum of lengths of all elements

Safety

The following invariants hold:

  • Two consecutives offsets casted (as) to usize are valid slices of values.
  • len is equal to validity.len(), when defined.

Implementations

Returns a BinaryArray created from its internal representation.

Errors

This function returns an error iff:

  • the offsets are not monotonically increasing
  • The last offset is not equal to the values’ length.
  • the validity’s length is not equal to offsets.len() - 1.
  • The data_type’s crate::datatypes::PhysicalType is not equal to either Binary or LargeBinary.
Implementation

This function is O(N) - checking monotinicity is O(N)

Creates a new BinaryArray from slices of &[u8].

Creates a new BinaryArray from a slice of optional &[u8].

Returns an iterator of Option<&[u8]> over every element of this array.

Returns an iterator of &[u8] over every element of this array, ignoring the validity

Returns the length of this array

Returns the element at index i

Panics

iff i >= self.len()

Returns the element at index i

Safety

Assumes that the i < self.len.

Returns the DataType of this array.

Returns the values of this BinaryArray.

Returns the offsets of this BinaryArray.

The optional validity.

Creates a new BinaryArray by slicing this BinaryArray.

Implementation

This function is O(1): all data will be shared between both arrays.

Panics

iff offset + length > self.len().

Creates a new BinaryArray by slicing this BinaryArray.

Implementation

This function is O(1): all data will be shared between both arrays.

Safety

The caller must ensure that offset + length <= self.len().

Boxes self into a Box<dyn Array>.

Boxes self into a std::sync::Arc<dyn Array>.

Returns this BinaryArray with a new validity.

Panic

Panics iff validity.len() != self.len().

Sets the validity of this BinaryArray.

Panics

This function panics iff values.len() != self.len().

Creates an empty BinaryArray, i.e. whose .len is zero.

Creates an null BinaryArray, i.e. whose .null_count() == .len().

Returns the default DataType, DataType::Binary or DataType::LargeBinary

Creates a new BinaryArray without checking for offsets monotinicity.

Errors

This function returns an error iff:

  • The last offset is not equal to the values’ length.
  • the validity’s length is not equal to offsets.len() - 1.
  • The data_type’s crate::datatypes::PhysicalType is not equal to either Binary or LargeBinary.
Safety

This function is unsafe iff:

  • the offsets are not monotonically increasing
Implementation

This function is O(1)

Alias for unwrapping Self::try_new

Alias for unwrapping Self::try_new_unchecked

Safety

This function is unsafe iff:

Returns a BinaryArray from an iterator of trusted length.

The BinaryArray is guaranteed to not have a validity

Returns a new BinaryArray from a Iterator of &[u8].

The BinaryArray is guaranteed to not have a validity

Creates a BinaryArray from an iterator of trusted length.

Safety

The iterator must be TrustedLen. I.e. that size_hint().1 correctly reports its length.
