Classes in uk.ac.gla.terrier.compression used by uk.ac.gla.terrier.compression

BitByteOutputStream
This class provides methods to write compressed integers to an outputstream.
The numbers are written into a byte starting from the most significant bit (i.e, left to right).

BitFile
This class encapsulates a random access file and provides the functionalities to write binary encoded, unary encoded and gamma encoded integers greater than zero, as well as specifying their offset in the file.

BitIn
Interface describing the read compression methods supported by the BitFile and BitInputStream classes.

BitInputStream
This class reads from a file or an InputStream integers that can be coded with different encoding algorithms.

BitInSeekable
Interface for BitFile and OldBitFile - future proofing for returning new objects for readReset instead of just the object itself.

BitOut
Interface describing the writing compression methods supported by the BitFile classes.

BitOutputStream
This class provides methods to write compressed integers to an outputstream.
The numbers are written into a byte starting from the most significant bit (i.e, left to right).

LinkedBuffer
Implements an element of a linked list that contains a byte array

MemoryLinkedOutputStream
This class implements an OutputStream that writes everything in memory, and never flushes the data to disk.

MemoryOutputStream
This class extends an ordinary OutputStream to handle transparently writes in memory.

BitIn
Interface describing the read compression methods supported by the BitFile and BitInputStream classes.

BitOut
Interface describing the writing compression methods supported by the BitFile classes.

MemorySBOS
This class extends the BitByteOutputStream, so it provides the compression writting functions, but uses a MemoryOutputStream as an underlying OutputStream, so it is needed to be flushed to disk separately.
