      Type Parameters:
      T - The target treat type
      Parameters:
      type - type to be downcast to
      Returns:
      The treated join object

    • fetch

      BlazeJoin<Z,X> fetch()
      Fetches this join.
      Returns:
      this join instance

    • isFetch

      boolean isFetch()
      Whether this join is marked to also be fetched.
      Returns:
      true if it should be fetched, false otherwise

    • on

      BlazeJoin<Z,X> on(Expression<Boolean> restriction)

      Parameters:
      restrictions - zero or more restriction predicates
      Returns:
      the modified join object

    • getOn

      Predicate getOn()
