InternalRow — Abstract Binary Row Format
Note
|
InternalRow is also called a Spark SQL row.
|
Note
|
UnsafeRow is a concrete InternalRow .
|
There are methods to create InternalRow
objects using the factory methods in the InternalRow
object.
import org.apache.spark.sql.catalyst.InternalRow
scala> InternalRow.empty
res0: org.apache.spark.sql.catalyst.InternalRow = [empty row]
scala> InternalRow(0, "string", (0, "pair"))
res1: org.apache.spark.sql.catalyst.InternalRow = [0,string,(0,pair)]
scala> InternalRow.fromSeq(Seq(0, "string", (0, "pair")))
res2: org.apache.spark.sql.catalyst.InternalRow = [0,string,(0,pair)]
