Class SeekableByteChannelPrefetcher

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Closeable, AutoCloseable, ByteChannel, Channel, ReadableByteChannel, SeekableByteChannel, WritableByteChannel

    public final class SeekableByteChannelPrefetcher
    extends Object
    implements SeekableByteChannel
    SeekableByteChannelPrefetcher wraps an existing SeekableByteChannel to add prefetching. The prefetching is done on a different thread, so you can write simple code that repeatedly calls read() to get data, processes it, and then calls read again -- and yet this simple code overlaps computation and communication for you. (Of course this is only worthwhile if the underlying SeekableByteChannel doesn't already implement prefetching).

      • addPrefetcher

        public static SeekableByteChannel addPrefetcher​(int bufferSizeMB,
                                                        SeekableByteChannel channel)
                                                 throws IOException
        Wraps the provided SeekableByteChannel within a SeekableByteChannelPrefetcher, using the provided buffer size
        Parameters:
        bufferSizeMB - buffer size in MB
        channel - channel to wrap in the prefetcher
        Returns:
        wrapped channel
        Throws:
        IOException
      • read

        public int read​(ByteBuffer dst)
                 throws IOException
        Reads a sequence of bytes from this channel into the given buffer.

        Bytes are read starting at this channel's current position, and then the position is updated with the number of bytes actually read. Otherwise this method behaves exactly as specified in the ReadableByteChannel interface.

        Specified by:
        read in interface ReadableByteChannel
        Specified by:
        read in interface SeekableByteChannel
        Parameters:
        dst - buffer to write into
        Throws:
        IOException
      • position

        public long position()
                      throws IOException
        Returns this channel's position.
        Specified by:
        position in interface SeekableByteChannel
        Returns:
        This channel's position, a non-negative integer counting the number of bytes from the beginning of the entity to the current position
        Throws:
        ClosedChannelException - If this channel is closed
        IOException - If some other I/O error occurs
      • position

        public SeekableByteChannel position​(long newPosition)
                                     throws IOException
        Sets this channel's position.

        Setting the position to a value that is greater than the current size is legal but does not change the size of the entity. A later attempt to read bytes at such a position will immediately return an end-of-file indication. A later attempt to write bytes at such a position will cause the entity to grow to accommodate the new bytes; the values of any bytes between the previous end-of-file and the newly-written bytes are unspecified.

        Setting the channel's position is not recommended when connected to an entity, typically a file, that is opened with the APPEND option. When opened for append, the position is first advanced to the end before writing.

        Specified by:
        position in interface SeekableByteChannel
        Parameters:
        newPosition - The new position, a non-negative integer counting the number of bytes from the beginning of the entity
        Returns:
        This channel
        Throws:
        ClosedChannelException - If this channel is closed
        IllegalArgumentException - If the new position is negative
        IOException - If some other I/O error occurs
      • isOpen

        public boolean isOpen()
        Tells whether or not this channel is open.
        Specified by:
        isOpen in interface Channel
        Returns:
        true if, and only if, this channel is open
      • close

        public void close()
                   throws IOException
        Closes this channel.

        After a channel is closed, any further attempt to invoke I/O operations upon it will cause a ClosedChannelException to be thrown.

        If this channel is already closed then invoking this method has no effect.

        This method may be invoked at any time. If some other thread has already invoked it, however, then another invocation will block until the first invocation is complete, after which it will return without effect.

        Specified by:
        close in interface AutoCloseable
        Specified by:
        close in interface Channel
        Specified by:
        close in interface Closeable
        Throws:
        IOException - If an I/O error occurs
