Class MappingCodec<O,I>

java.lang.Object

com.datastax.driver.core.TypeCodec<O>

com.datastax.driver.extras.codecs.MappingCodec<O,I>

Type Parameters:

O - The "outer" (user-facing) Java type

I - The "inner" (Cassandra-facing, intermediary) Java type

Direct Known Subclasses:

OptionalCodec, OptionalCodec

public abstract class MappingCodec<O,I>
extends TypeCodec<O>

An abstract TypeCodec that maps a Java Pojo to another Java object that can in turn be serialized into a CQL type. This can serve as a base for libraries dealing with Pojo mappings.

This codec can be seen as a convenience base class for libraries dealing with Pojo-to-Pojo mappings, but it comes with a performance penalty: each Java object is serialized in two steps: first to an intermediate object, and then to a ByteBuffer, which means that each serialization actually incurs in two potentially expensive operations being carried.

If such operations are really expensive, and your mapping library is capable of serializing objects directly to ByteBuffers, consider writing your own codec instead of using this one.
