TableSpec
TableSpec
TableSpec is the model used to create the schema of the table. It is in the format:
{
"<name of column>": {
"type": "<type of column>"
}
}
Supported types
Simple Datatypes:
- bool: boolean
- int: 32-bit integer
- int32: 32-bit integer
- long: 64-bit integer
- int64: 64-bit integer
- double: 64-bit float
- date: 64-bit date
Possible precisions: ms(millisecond)
- date64: 64-bit date
- string: string
- binary: binary
- geometry: binary
Geometry can be represented in 3 formats:
Complex Datatypes:
Some types need to have precision value stated in the schema. Precision can be stated by putting the precision value in brackets after the timestamp like this:
time<ns>
Possible precisions are stated below the necessary types
- time: 64-bit time
Possible precisions: us(microsecond), ns(nanosecond)
- time64: 64-bit time
Possible precisions: us(microsecond), ns(nanosecond)
- timestamp: timestamp
Possible precisions: s(second), ms(millisecond), us(microsecond), ns(nanosecond)
- list: list
Possible precisions: item: Supported complex type
list<item: bool>
- map: map
Possible precisions: Supported complex type, Supported complex type
map<bool, int>
List and map complex datatypes can only contain a subset of the supported simple datatypes. Supported simple datatypes that can be put into the list and map are:
- bool
- int
- int32
- long
- int64
- double
- string
- binary
