SupportsMetadataColumns

trait SupportsMetadataColumns extends Table

An interface for exposing data columns for a table that are not in the table schema. For example, a file source could expose a "file" column that contains the path of the file that contained each row.

The columns returned by #metadataColumns() may be passed as StructField in requested projections. Sources that implement this interface and column projection using SupportsPushDownRequiredColumns must accept metadata fields passed to SupportsPushDownRequiredColumns#pruneColumns(StructType).

If a table column and a metadata column have the same name, the metadata column will never be requested. It is recommended that Table implementations reject data column name that conflict with metadata column names.

Abstract Value Members

  1. abstract def capabilities(): Set[TableCapability]

    Returns the set of capabilities for this table.

    Returns the set of capabilities for this table.

    Table
  2. abstract def metadataColumns(): Array[MetadataColumn]

    Metadata columns that are supported by this Table.

    Metadata columns that are supported by this Table.

    The columns returned by this method may be passed as StructField in requested projections using SupportsPushDownRequiredColumns#pruneColumns(StructType).

    If a table column and a metadata column have the same name, the metadata column will never be requested and is ignored. It is recommended that Table implementations reject data column names that conflict with metadata column names.

    returns

    an array of MetadataColumn

  3. abstract def name(): String

    A name to identify this table.

    A name to identify this table. Implementations should provide a meaningful name, like the database and table name from catalog, or the location of files for this table.

    Table
  4. abstract def schema(): StructType

    Returns the schema of this table.

    Returns the schema of this table. If the table is not readable and doesn't have a schema, an empty schema can be returned here.
