Field (Apama API Documentation 10.15.2.4)

java.lang.Object
- com.apama.event.parser.Field<T>

```
public class Field<T>
extends java.lang.Object
```
Represents the name and type of a field in an EventType. Note that the easiest way to create Field objects is to use FieldTypes to get the required FieldType then call the FieldType.newField(String) helper method to create the Field.
For example, to create a field object whose type is an Apama sequence of integers:

Field<Long> myField = FieldTypes.sequence(FieldTypes.INTEGER).newField("myField");
