types

Data types used in describing Iceberg schemas.

This module implements the data types described in the Iceberg specification for Iceberg schemas. To describe an Iceberg table schema, these classes can be used in the construction of a StructType instance.

Example

str(StructType( ... NestedField(1, "required_field", StringType(), True), ... NestedField(2, "optional_field", IntegerType()) ... )) 'struct<1: required_field: optional string, 2: optional_field: optional int>'
