public class ListRowStore extends java.lang.Object implements RowStore
RowListStarTable
.
This is better-behaved than the RowStore contract requires; it
is guaranteed to be able to store any StarTable object
(acceptMetadata(uk.ac.starlink.table.StarTable)
will not throw a TableFormatException).
Cautious users of this class will note the fact that for large tables,
acceptRow(java.lang.Object[])
may throw an OutOfMemoryError.Constructor and Description |

void |
acceptMetadata(StarTable meta)
Takes delivery of a row-less StarTable object which defines
the metadata of the table to be transmitted.
|
void |
acceptRow(java.lang.Object[] row)
Accepts a row.
|
void |
endRows()
Signals that there are no more rows to be transmitted.
|
StarTable |
getStarTable()
Obtains a StarTable which contains the data and metadata that have
been written into this sink.
|
public void acceptMetadata(StarTable meta)
TableSink
StarTable.getRowCount()
); if it is not known, the row count
should be -1. However, this object should not attempt to read
any of meta's cell data.
The data to be transmitted in subsequent calls of acceptRow must match the metadata transmitted in this call in the same way that rows of a StarTable must match its own metadata (number and content clases of columns etc). If this sink cannot dispose of a table corresponding to meta then it may throw a TableFormatException - this may be the case if for instance meta has columns with types that this sink can't deal with.
