com.attivio.sdk.search.fields.MultiaryFieldExpression

com.attivio.sdk.search.fields.Union

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Cloneable

public class Union
extends MultiaryFieldExpression

Union field values for multiple sub expressions.

This field returned for this FieldExpression will be a multi-value field containing all values for all input fields. The order of the returned field values is not defined. NOTE: the data type of the returned field will be the most lenient data type of all sub FieldExpressions. That is, if the child field expressions are of the data types INT, STRING, DOUBLE, then the returned field will be a STRING field.
