public Schema(List<ColumnSchema> columns)
```
    Constructs a schema using the specified columns and does some internal accounting
    
    Parameters:
    columns - the columns in index order
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - If the key columns aren't specified first See ColumnPBsToSchema() in src/kudu/common/wire_protocol.cc
  - Schema
```
public Schema(List<ColumnSchema> columns,
      List<Integer> columnIds)
```
    Constructs a schema using the specified columns and IDs. This is not a stable API, prefer using Schema(List) to create a new schema.
    
    Parameters:
    columns - the columns in index order
    columnIds - the column ids of the provided columns, or null
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - If the primary key columns aren't specified first
    
    IllegalArgumentException - If the column ids length does not match the columns length See ColumnPBsToSchema() in src/kudu/common/wire_protocol.cc
- Method Detail
  - getColumns
```
public List<ColumnSchema> getColumns()
```
    Get the list of columns used to create this schema
    
    Returns:
    list of columns
  - getVarLengthColumnCount
```
public int getVarLengthColumnCount()
```
    Get the count of columns with variable length (BINARY/STRING) in this schema.
    
    Returns:
    strings count
  - getRowSize
```
public int getRowSize()
```
    Get the size a row built using this schema would be
    
    Returns:
    size in bytes
  - getColumnOffset
```
public int getColumnOffset(int idx)
```
    Get the index at which this column can be found in the backing byte array
    
    Parameters:
    idx - column's index
    
    Returns:
    column's offset
  - getColumnIndex
```
public int getColumnIndex(String columnName)
```
    Get the index for the provided column name.
    
    Parameters:
    columnName - column to search for
    
    Returns:
    an index in the schema
  - getColumnByIndex
```
public ColumnSchema getColumnByIndex(int idx)
```
    Get the column at the specified index in the original list
    
    Parameters:
    idx - column's index
    
    Returns:
    the column
  - getColumnIndex
```
public int getColumnIndex(int columnId)
```
    Get the column index of the column with the provided ID. This method is not part of the stable API.
    
    Parameters:
    columnId - the column id of the column
    
    Returns:
    the column index of the column.
  - getColumn
```
public ColumnSchema getColumn(String columnName)
```
    Get the column associated with the specified name
    
    Parameters:
    columnName - column's name
    
    Returns:
    the column
  - getColumnCount
```
public int getColumnCount()
```
    Get the count of columns in this schema
    
    Returns:
    count of columns
  - getPrimaryKeyColumnCount
```
public int getPrimaryKeyColumnCount()
```
    Get the count of columns that are part of the primary key.
    
    Returns:
    count of primary key columns.
  - getPrimaryKeyColumns
```
public List<ColumnSchema> getPrimaryKeyColumns()
```
    Get the primary key columns.
    
    Returns:
    the primary key columns.
  - getRowKeyProjection
```
public Schema getRowKeyProjection()
```

    Returns:
    new schema with only the keys
  - hasNullableColumns
```
public boolean hasNullableColumns()
```
    Tells if there's at least one nullable column
    
    Returns:
    true if at least one column is nullable, else false.
  - hasColumnIds
```
public boolean hasColumnIds()
```
    Tells whether this schema includes IDs for columns. A schema created by a client as part of table creation will not include IDs, but schemas for open tables will include IDs. This method is not part of the stable API.
    
    Returns:
    whether this schema includes column IDs.
  - newPartialRow
```
public PartialRow newPartialRow()
```
    Creates a new partial row for the schema.
    
    Returns:
