cascading.operation.assertion
Class AssertExpression

java.lang.Object
  cascading.operation.BaseOperation
      cascading.operation.expression.ExpressionOperation
          cascading.operation.assertion.AssertExpression

All Implemented Interfaces:

Assertion, Operation, ValueAssertion, Serializable

public class AssertExpression
extends ExpressionOperation
implements ValueAssertion

Class AssertExpression dynamically resolves a given expression using argument Tuple values. Any Tuple that returns true for the given expression pass the assertion. This Assertion is based on the Janino compiler.

Specifially this filter uses the ExpressionEvaluator, thus the syntax from that class is inherited here.

An expression may use field names directly as parameters in the expression, or field positions with the syntax "$n", where n is an integer.

Given an argument tuple with the fields "a" and "b", the following expression returns true:
a + b == $0 + $1

Further, the types of the tuple elements will be coerced into the given parameterTypes. Regardless of the actual tuple element values, they will be converted to the types expected by the expression.
