Package com.pervasive.datarush.tokens

Provides classes and utilities for working with data tokens. Tokens are the fundamental data units within DataRush.

Operators are connected to one another consuming and emitting tokens via ports. All tokens have two properties:

  • a data type
  • a value, potentially unset. If unset, the token is called null valued.
There are two types of tokens. Scalar tokens are atomic, having a scalar type. Composite tokens, representing record data, consist of one or more scalar tokens, each representing a field of the record. These have a record type, describing the record schema.
