Type (Google Cloud 0.90.0-alpha API)

java.lang.Object
- com.google.cloud.spanner.Type

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable
```
@Immutable
public final class Type
extends Object
implements Serializable
```
Describes a type in the Cloud Spanner type system. Types can either be primitive (for example, INT64 and STRING) or composite (for example, ARRAY<INT64> or STRUCT<INT64,STRING>).
Type instances are immutable.
