Hmmm... Is this expected? Does the schema only show up once I have added
something? Also, strictTypes doesn't appear to be getting changed to true.
blur (default)> create -c 10 -l file:///tmp/blur/tables/Program_sshd -t
Program_sshd -s
blur (default)> definecolumn Program_sshd event Date date -p dateFormat
yyyyMMddHHmmss
blur (default)> schema Program_sshd
Schema(table:Program_sshd, families:{})
Program_sshd
blur (default)> describe Program_sshd
cluster : default
name : Program_sshd
enabled : true
tableUri : file:///tmp/blur/tables/Program_sshd
shardCount : 10
readOnly : false
columnPreCache : null
blockCaching : true
blockCachingFileTypes : null
tableProperties : null
strictTypes : false
defaultMissingFieldType : text
defaultMissingFieldLessIndexing : true
defaultMissingFieldProps : null
blur (default)> disable Program_sshd

Yes, however with the API changes that have/are being discussed in
others
threads (Document vs. Record, Document Collection vs.Row, etc) I want to
change the value portion of the Column to have a Value type that will
be a
union in Thrift instead of a struct. This would allow us to have all
the
basic types be defined in separate fields. This stringValue for string
types, textValue for text types, intValue for int types, etc that way
when
a table is not in strict mode it could better guess the correct type
instead of blindly choosing text.
Makes sense, for my purposes this should work well enough though. I
will want strictTypes=true and define column types for the column I
know about, and let automatic determination take care of the
unspecified fields, although that shouldn't be very many, since I
should know all field types as I define them in my interface. Kinda
sucks that they cannot be changed though, I'll have to build that into
my GUI and make sure to take note of that.
Ok so this code is to merely add the type to be available as a type that
can be used. After this runs your new type will act just like "text",
"int", "date", or any other built in type. After the type is
registered in
the system, either by table or system wide you will still need to call
definecolumn to make use of the new type.
So in the example.
tableDescriptor.putToTableProperties("blur.fieldtype.customfield1",
"org.apache.blur.analysis.type.ExampleType1");
"blur.fieldtype." is the important part for the loader. The prefix
tells
the TableContext that this property is a new field type. So it takes
the
value "org.apache.blur.analysis.type.ExampleType1" for example and
tries to
load the class via the Class.forName method. If successfully and if
it's a
FieldTypeDefinition it will register is in the BaseFieldManager.
Then the
type is available for use.
So "customfield1" is not even used. It's only there to makes the
property
be a unique name.
Hope this helps.
Ahh... *sings* I can see clearly now the sun is out *sings*, I was
misunderstanding what you meant first, that makes a lot more sense,
Thanks.
