Interface LogicalType

All Known Implementing Classes:

LogicalType.BsonType, LogicalType.DateType, LogicalType.DecimalType, LogicalType.EnumType, LogicalType.IntervalType, LogicalType.IntType, LogicalType.JsonType, LogicalType.ListType, LogicalType.MapType, LogicalType.StringType, LogicalType.TimestampType, LogicalType.TimeType, LogicalType.UuidType

public sealed interface LogicalType
permits LogicalType.StringType, LogicalType.EnumType, LogicalType.UuidType, LogicalType.IntType, LogicalType.DecimalType, LogicalType.DateType, LogicalType.TimeType, LogicalType.TimestampType, LogicalType.IntervalType, LogicalType.JsonType, LogicalType.BsonType, LogicalType.ListType, LogicalType.MapType

Logical types that provide semantic meaning to physical types. Sealed interface allows for parameterized types (e.g., DECIMAL with scale/precision).
