public final class LogicalTypeParser
extends Object
```
Parser for creating instances of LogicalType from a serialized string created with LogicalType.asSerializableString().
In addition to the serializable string representations, this parser also supports common shortcuts for certain types. This includes:
- STRING as a synonym for VARCHAR(INT_MAX)
- BYTES as a synonym for VARBINARY(INT_MAX)
- NUMERIC and DEC as synonyms for DECIMAL
- INTEGER as a synonym for INT
- DOUBLE PRECISION as a synonym for DOUBLE
- TIME WITHOUT TIME ZONE as a synonym for TIME
- TIMESTAMP WITHOUT TIME ZONE as a synonym for TIMESTAMP
- TIMESTAMP WITH LOCAL TIME ZONE as a synonym for TIMESTAMP_LTZ
- type ARRAY as a synonym for ARRAY<type>
- type MULTISET as a synonym for MULTISET<type>
- ROW(...) as a synonym for ROW<...>
- type NULL as a synonym for type
Furthermore, it returns UnresolvedUserDefinedType for unknown types (partially or fully qualified such as [catalog].[database].[type]).
