ROOT::Experimental::RNTupleDescriptor Class Reference

The on-storage meta-data of an ntuple.

Represents the on-disk (on storage) information about an ntuple. The meta-data consists of a header and one or several footers. The header carries the ntuple schema, i.e. the fields and the associated columns and their relationships. The footer(s) carry information about one or several clusters. For every cluster, a footer stores its location and size, and for every column the range of element indexes as well as a list of pages and page locations.

The descriptor provide machine-independent (de-)serialization of headers and footers, and it provides lookup routines for ntuple objects (pages, clusters, ...). It is supposed to be usable by all RPageStorage implementations.

The serialization does not use standard ROOT streamers in order to not let it depend on libCore. The serialization uses the concept of frames: header, footer, and substructures have a preamble with version numbers and the size of the writte struct. This allows for forward and backward compatibility when the meta-data evolves.
