Interface RowStore
- All Superinterfaces:
- TableSink
- All Known Implementing Classes:
- ByteStoreRowStore, DiscardRowStore, ListRowStore, SidewaysRowStore
- public interface RowStore
- extends TableSink
Describes an object which can be used to store table data.
If you have a RowStore you can stream table data into it,
and then retrieve it as a random-access StarTable later. This interface
abstracts that functionality so you don't need to worry how the
storage is handled. You should usually obtain a RowStore
instance from a StoragePolicy
.
