The following table shows the available metadata:
| Metadata | Possible values |
|---|---|
| outputmode outputMode (important) |
|
| persistent |
|
| minInputPorts |
|
| maxInputPorts |
|
...
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
operator ODLSelect(outputMode = "INPUT", minInputPorts = 1, maxInputPorts = 1){
parameter IPredicate predicate;
optional parameter int heartbeatrate;
//...
} |
Note that not every data type can be used for a parameter because each data type must have a corresponding parameter class in Odysseus. The following table shows the available data types:
...
Some data types have more than one corresponding parameter class. In these cases you can optionally set a parameter class as a metadata of a parameter. Please look at the Parameter-Interface of Odysseus for more available metadata.
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
operator ODLProject(outputMode ="MODIFIED_INPUT", minInputPorts = 1, maxInputPorts = 1){
parameter(type=ResolvedSDFAttributeParameter) SDFAttribute[] attributes;
//...
} |
Attributes
Besides parameters it is also possible to define attributes to store operator’s data.
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
operator ODLJoin(outputMode = "NEW_ELEMENT", minInputPorts = 2, maxInputPorts = 2){ ITimeIntervalSweepArea[] areas; IDataMergeFunction dataMerge; ITransferArea transferFunction; IMetadataMergeFunction metadataMerge; //... } |
Validate methods
Each parameter can have a validate method. This method must return whether the value of the parameter is correct.
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
operator ODLProject(outputMode ="MODIFIED_INPUT", minInputPorts = 1, maxInputPorts = 1){
validate attributes {
if (this.attributes.isEmpty) {
error("attributes have to be set");
return false;
}
return true;
}
//...
} |
There is also a validate method which can be used if a parameter has dependencies to other parameters.
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
operator ODLProject(outputMode ="MODIFIED_INPUT", minInputPorts = 1, maxInputPorts = 1){
validate {
return true;
}
//...
} |
Event methods
These methods are automatically called when events occur. The processNext-method is the most important event method and is called whenever a new stream element is received. The type of a stream element can be Tuple, KeyValueObject or other subtypes of IStreamObject.
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
operator ODLSelect(outputMode = "INPUT", minInputPorts = 1, maxInputPorts = 1){
on processNext(Tuple tuple, int port) {
if (predicate.evaluate(tuple)) {
sendStreamElement(tuple);
}
}
on processPunctuation(IPunctuation punctuation, int port) {
sendPunctuation(punctuation);
}
//...
} |
The following table shows an overview of available event methods. Note that you can call methods of AbstractLogicalOperator or AbstractPipe in event methods, e.g. to send stream elements or punctuations.
| Event method | Description |
|---|---|
processNext(IStreamObject object, int port) | New stream element is received |
processPunctuation(IPunctuation punctuation, int port) | New punctuation is received |
processOpen() | Processing has started |
processClose() | Processing has stopped |
processDone() | No more stream elements are sent |
processDone(int port) | No more stream elements are sent from a source |
createOutputSchema (int port) | Output schema has to be created |
sourceSubscribed() | New source is subscribed |
sourceUnsubscribed() | Source is unsubscribed |
ao_init() | Logical operator is initialized |
po_init() | Physical operator is initialized |
AO & PO methods
Besides validate and event methods it is also possible to create normal methods. The ao-keyword should be used if a method needs to call a method of AbstractLogicalOperator. The po-keyword should be used if a method needs to call a method of AbstractPipe.
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
getOtherPort(int port) : int {
return (port+1)%2;
}
ao getBaseTimeUnit : TimeUnit {
SDFSchema schema = getInputSchema(0);
SDFConstraint constraint = schema.getConstraint(SDFConstraint::BASE_TIME_UNIT);
return constraint.value;
}
po ping(IPunctuation punctuation) {
sendPunctuation(punctuation);
} |
Grammar
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
ODLModel ::= (Namespace)* (UserOperator | Class | Interface)*.
UserOperator ::= "operator" ID ("(" (Metadata ("," Metadata))? ")")? "{" (ODLAttribute | ODLMethod) "}".
ODLAttribute ::= (("optional")? "parameter")? ("(" (Metadata ("," Metadata))* ")")? Attribute.
ODLMethod ::= ("on" | "validate" | "override" | ("override")? "ao" | ("override")? "po")? (MethodDeclaration)? StatementBlock. |
