Interface RawDataSource

All Superinterfaces:

Iterable<Map<String,Object>>, Iterator<Map<String,Object>>

All Known Implementing Classes:

CSVDataSource

public interface RawDataSource
extends Iterable<Map<String,Object>>, Iterator<Map<String,Object>>

Data stream to be converted by some DataConverter. Current abstraction is of a series of records each of which has a set of named fields. The field values are unconstrained and in particular may include structured values reported as Maps. Simple field values will be reported boxed as Value instances. Experimental - only suited to tabluar structure data.
