Filter Classes
This section describes information that is specific to the C++ API. See User-Defined Filter for general information about implementing the UDFilter
and FilterFactory
classes.
UDFilter API
The API provides the following methods for extension by subclasses:
virtual void setup (ServerInterface & srvInterface); virtual StreamState process (ServerInterface & srvInterface, DataBuffer &input, InputState input_state, DataBuffer &output)=0; virtual void destroy (ServerInterface &srvInterface);
ContinuousUDFilter API
The ContinuousUDFilter
class extends UDFilter
and adds the following methods for extension by subclasses:
virtual void initialize (ServerInterface &srvInterface); virtual void run (); virtual void deinitialize (ServerInterface &srvInterface);
FilterFactory API
The API provides the following methods for extension by subclasses:
virtual void plan (ServerInterface &srvInterface, PlanContext &planCtxt); virtual UDFilter * prepare (ServerInterface &srvInterface, PlanContext &planCtxt)=0; virtual void getParameterType (ServerInterface &srvInterface, SizedColumnTypes ¶meterTypes);
After creating your FilterFactory
, you must register it with the RegisterFactory
macro.
