    public final class ShuffleFormatEntry
    extends FormatEntry
    The Shuffle masking format randomly shuffles values within a column.

    It can also be used to shuffle column data within discrete units, or groups, where there is a relationship among the members of each group. To learn more, check Shuffle in the Data Safe documentation. The Shuffle masking format randomly shuffles values within a column.

    Note: Objects should always be created or deserialized using the ShuffleFormatEntry.Builder. This model distinguishes fields that are null because they are unset from fields that are explicitly set to null. This is done in the setter methods of the ShuffleFormatEntry.Builder, which maintain a set of all explicitly set fields called ShuffleFormatEntry.Builder.__explicitlySet__. The hashCode() and equals(Object) methods are implemented to take the explicitly set fields into account. The constructor, on the other hand, does not take the explicitly set fields into account (since the constructor cannot distinguish explicit null from unset null).
