Clears the user-supplied value for the input param.
Clears the user-supplied value for the input param.
Creates a copy of this instance with the same UID and some extra params.
Creates a copy of this instance with the same UID and some extra params. The default implementation tries to create a new instance with the same UID. Then it copies the embedded and extra parameters over and returns the new instance. Subclasses should override this method if the default approach is not sufficient.
Copies param values from this instance to another instance for params shared by them.
Copies param values from this instance to another instance for params shared by them.

the target instance with param values copied
Explains a param.
Explains a param.
input param, must belong to this instance.
a string that contains the input param name, doc, and optionally its default value and the user-supplied value
Explains all params of this instance.
Explains all params of this instance.

extractParamMap with no extra values.
extractParamMap with no extra values.
Extracts the embedded default param values and user-supplied values, and then merges them with extra values from input into a flat param map, where the latter value is used if there exist conflicts, i.
Extracts the embedded default param values and user-supplied values, and then merges them with extra values from input into a flat param map, where the latter value is used if there exist conflicts, i.e., with ordering: default param values < user-supplied values < extra.
Optionally returns the user-supplied value of a param.
Optionally returns the user-supplied value of a param.
Gets the default value of a parameter.
Gets the default value of a parameter.
Gets the value of a param in the embedded param map or its default value.
Gets the value of a param in the embedded param map or its default value. Throws an exception if neither is set.
Gets a param by its name.
Gets a param by its name.
Tests whether the input param has a default value set.
Tests whether the input param has a default value set.
Tests whether this instance contains a param with a given name.
Tests whether this instance contains a param with a given name.
Checks whether a param is explicitly set or has a default value.
Checks whether a param is explicitly set or has a default value.
Checks whether a param is explicitly set.
Checks whether a param is explicitly set.
Returns all params sorted by their names.
Returns all params sorted by their names. The default implementation uses Java reflection to list all public methods that have no arguments and return Param.
Note: Developer should not use this method in constructor because we cannot guarantee that this variable gets initialized before other params.
Sets a parameter in the embedded param map.
Sets a parameter in the embedded param map.
Sets a parameter (by name) in the embedded param map.
Sets a parameter (by name) in the embedded param map.
Sets a parameter in the embedded param map.
Sets a parameter in the embedded param map.
Sets default values for a list of params.
Sets default values for a list of params.
a list of param pairs that specify params and their default values to set respectively. Make sure that the params are initialized before this method gets called.
Sets a default value for a param.
Sets a default value for a param.
param to set the default value. Make sure that this param is initialized before this method gets called.

Validates parameter values stored internally.
Validates parameter values stored internally. Raise an exception if any parameter value is invalid.
This only needs to check for interactions between parameters. Parameter value checks which do not depend on other parameters are handled by Param.validate(). This method does not handle input/output column parameters; those are checked during schema validation.
:: DeveloperApi :: Java-friendly wrapper for Params. Java developers who need to extend Params should use this class instead. If you need to extend a abstract class which already extends Params, then that abstract class should be Java-friendly as well.
