  • Method Details

    • getFieldType

      public abstract FieldType getFieldType()

      Returns:
      The field type enumeration

    • toJedisSchemaField

      public abstract SchemaField toJedisSchemaField()
      Convert to Jedis SchemaField for index creation.

    • toString

      public String toString()
      Overrides:
      toString in class Object

    • equals

      public boolean equals(Object o)
      Overrides:
      equals in class Object

    • hashCode

      public int hashCode()
      Overrides:

    • finalize

      protected final void finalize()
      Empty finalizer to prevent finalizer attacks on subclasses.

      Per SEI CERT OBJ11-J, classes that throw exceptions in constructors should have an empty final finalizer to prevent finalizer attacks through subclassing.

      Note: finalize() is deprecated but required here for security (prevent finalizer attacks).

      Overrides:
      finalize in class Object
