final TCKind TK_SPARSE [static]

A sparse value type.

A sparse value type is one in which all of the fields are not necessarily sent on the network as a part of every sample.

Fields of a sparse value type fall into one of three categories:

• Key fields (see TypeCode.KEY_MEMBER)
• Non-key, but required members (see TypeCode.NONKEY_REQUIRED_MEMBER)
• Non-key, optional members (see TypeCode.NONKEY_MEMBER)

Fields of the first two kinds must appear in every sample. These are also the only kinds of fields on which you can perform content filtering (see com.rti.dds.topic.ContentFilteredTopic), because filter evaluation on a non-existent field is not well defined.
