Class BitFileInMemory

java.lang.Object

org.terrier.compression.bit.BitFileInMemory

All Implemented Interfaces:

Closeable, AutoCloseable, BitInSeekable

public class BitFileInMemory
extends Object
implements BitInSeekable

Class which enables a bit compressed file to be read wholly into memory and accessed from there with lot latency. This class will fail if the file is larger than Integer.MAX_VALUE. Use BitFileInMemoryLarge instead.

Constructor Detail

BitFileInMemory

public BitFileInMemory(String filename)
                throws IOException

Loads the entire file represented by filename into memory

Parameters:

filename - Location of bit file to read into memory

Throws:

IOException - if anything goes wrong reading the file

BitFileInMemory

public BitFileInMemory(InputStream is,
               long length)
                throws IOException

Loads the entire specified inputstream into memory. Length is assumed to be as specified.

Parameters:

is - InputStream containing the compressed bitfile

length - Expected length of the input stream

Throws:

IOException - if anything goes wrong reading the inputstream

BitFileInMemory

public BitFileInMemory(byte[] buffer)

Create an object using the specified data as the compressed data

Method Detail

readReset

public BitIn readReset(long startByteOffset,
              byte startBitOffset,
              long endByteOffset,
              byte endBitOffset)

Reads from the file a specific number of bytes and after this call, a sequence of read calls may follow. The offsets given as arguments are inclusive. For example, if we call this method with arguments 0, 2, 1, 7, it will read in a buffer the contents of the underlying file from the third bit of the first byte to the last bit of the second byte.

Specified by:

readReset in interface BitInSeekable

Parameters:

startByteOffset - the starting byte to read from

startBitOffset - the bit offset in the starting byte

endByteOffset - the ending byte

endBitOffset - the bit offset in the ending byte. This bit is the last bit of this entry.

Returns:

Returns the BitIn object to use to read that data

readReset

public BitIn readReset(long startByteOffset,
              byte startBitOffset)

Reads from the file a specific number of bytes and after this call, a sequence of read calls may follow. The offsets given as arguments are inclusive. For example, if we call this method with arguments 0, 2, 1, 7, it will read in a buffer the contents of the underlying file from the third bit of the first byte to the last bit of the second byte.

Specified by:

readReset in interface BitInSeekable

Parameters:

startByteOffset - the starting byte to read from

startBitOffset - the bit offset in the starting byte

Returns:

Returns the BitIn object to use to read that data

close

public void close()

Close this object. Does nothing.

Specified by:

close in interface Closeable

Specified by:

close in interface AutoCloseable
