defaultDelegateName = 'lsst.daf.butler.core.storageClassDelegate.StorageClassDelegate'

delegateClass

Class to use to delegate type-specific actions.

derivedComponents

Return derived components associated with StorageClass.

parameters

Return set of names of supported parameters.

pytype

Return Python type associated with this StorageClass.

Methods Documentation

allComponents() → Mapping[str, lsst.daf.butler.core.storageClass.StorageClass]

Return all defined components.

This mapping includes all the derived and read/write components for the corresponding storage class.

Returns:

comp : dict of [str, StorageClass]

The component name to storage class mapping.

delegate() → lsst.daf.butler.core.storageClassDelegate.StorageClassDelegate

Return an instance of a storage class delegate.

Returns:

delegate : StorageClassDelegate

Instance of the delegate associated with this StorageClass. The delegate is constructed with this StorageClass.

Raises:

TypeError

This StorageClass has no associated delegate.

filterParameters(parameters: Dict[str, Any], subset: Optional[Collection[T_co]] = None) → Dict[str, Any]

Filter out parameters that are not known to this StorageClass.

Parameters:

parameters : dict, optional

Candidate parameters. Can be None if no parameters have been provided.

subset : Collection, optional

Subset of supported parameters that the caller is interested in using. The subset must be known to the StorageClass if specified. If None the supplied parameters will all be checked, else only the keys in this set will be checked.

Returns:

filtered : dict

Valid parameters. Empty dict if none are suitable.

Raises:

ValueError

Raised if the provided subset is not a subset of the supported parameters or if it is an empty set.

isComposite() → bool

Return Boolean indicating whether this is a composite or not.

Returns:

isComposite : bool

True if this StorageClass is a composite, False otherwise.

knownParameters() → Set[str]

Return set of all parameters known to this StorageClass.

The set includes parameters understood by components of a composite.

Returns:

known : set

All parameter keys of this StorageClass and the component storage classes.

validateInstance(instance: Any) → bool

Check that the supplied Python object has the expected Python type.

Parameters:

instance : object

Object to check.

Returns:

isOk : bool

True if the supplied instance object can be handled by this StorageClass, False otherwise.

validateParameters(parameters: Optional[Collection[T_co]] = None) → None

Check that the parameters are known to this StorageClass.

Does not check the values.

Parameters:

parameters : Collection, optional

Collection containing the parameters. Can be dict-like or set-like. The parameter values are not checked. If no parameters are supplied, always returns without error.

Raises:

KeyError

Some parameters are not understood by this StorageClass.
