public sealed class Value : IMessage<Value>, IEquatable<Value>, IDeepCloneable<Value>, IBufferMessage, IMessage
Reference documentation and code samples for the Google Bigtable v2 API class Value.
Value represents a dynamically typed value.
The typed fields in Value are used as a transport encoding for the actual
value (which may be of a more complex type). See the documentation of the
Type message for more details.
Represents a typed value transported as a sequence of values.
To differentiate between Struct, Array, and Map, the outermost
Value must provide an explicit type on write. This type will
apply recursively to the nested Struct fields, Array elements,
or Map key/value pairs, which must not supply their own type.
The verified Type of this Value, if it cannot be inferred.
Read results will never specify the encoding for type since the value
will already have been decoded by the server. Furthermore, the type will
be omitted entirely if it can be inferred from a previous response. The
exact semantics for inferring type will vary, and are therefore
documented separately for each read method.
When using composite types (Struct, Array, Map) only the outermost Value
will specify the type. This top-level type will define the types for
any nested Struct' fields,Arrayelements, orMapkey/value pairs.
If a nestedValueprovides atype` on write, the request will be
rejected with INVALID_ARGUMENT.
