Interface ColumnReader

public interface ColumnReader

Reader for (repetition level, definition level, values) triplets. At any given point in time, a ColumnReader points to a single (r, d, v) triplet. In order to move to the next triplet, call consume(). Depending on the type and the encoding of the column only a subset of the get* methods are implemented. Dictionary specific methods enable the upper layers to read the dictionary IDs without decoding the data. In particular the Converter will decode the strings in the dictionary only once and iterate on the dictionary IDs instead of the values.

Each iteration looks at the current definition level and value as well as the next repetition level:
• The current definition level defines if the value is null.
• If the value is defined we can read it with the correct get*() method.
• Looking ahead to the next repetition determines what is the next column to read for in the FSA.
