Class BlockMappedInput

java.lang.Object

uk.ac.starlink.fits.BlockInput

uk.ac.starlink.fits.BlockMappedInput

All Implemented Interfaces:

BasicInput

public abstract class BlockMappedInput
extends BlockInput

Random-access BasicInput implementation that maps a given region of a file as a number of byte buffers. The most recently-used buffer is always kept, but there is a choice of what to do with less-recently used ones. Concrete subclasses are provided that either discard them automatically or keep them around for a period of time before discarding them. If and when a buffer is discarded, an attempt is made to release resources.

Note: DO NOT use an instance of this class from multiple threads - see Unmapper.

Constructor Detail

BlockMappedInput

protected BlockMappedInput(BlockManager blockManager)

Constructor.

Parameters:

blockManager - manages file mapping using byte buffers

Method Detail

getBlockPos

public int[] getBlockPos(long offset)

Description copied from class: BlockInput

Returns the block location of a given byte offset.

This does the opposite of getBlockOffset.

Specified by:

getBlockPos in class BlockInput

Parameters:

offset - offset into this input stream

Returns:

2-element array giving [blockIndex, offsetInBlock]

getBlockOffset

public long getBlockOffset(int iblock,
                           int offsetInBlock)

Description copied from class: BlockInput

Returns the offset into this stream corresponding to a given block index and offset into that block.

This does the opposite of getBlockPos.

Specified by:

getBlockOffset in class BlockInput

Parameters:

iblock - block index

offsetInBlock - offset into that block

Returns:

offset into stream

close

public void close()

This does not close the BlockManager.

Specified by:

close in interface BasicInput

Overrides:

close in class BlockInput

createInput

public static BlockMappedInput createInput(BlockManager blockManager,
                                           boolean caching)
                                    throws java.io.IOException

Constructs an instance that does or does not support caching. If caching is requested, recently used block buffers are kept around for a while in case they are needed again. If not, as soon as a new block is used, any others are discarded.

Parameters:

blockManager - manages buffer in blocks

caching - whether buffers are cached

Returns:

new instance

Throws:

java.io.IOException

createInput

public static BlockMappedInput createInput(BlockManager blockManager,
                                           long expiryMillis)
                                    throws java.io.IOException

Constructs an instance with explicit configuration. The expiryMillis parameter controls caching. If zero, the current buffer is discarded as soon as a different one is used. Otherwise, an attempt is made to discard buffers only after they have been unused for a certain number of milliseconds.

Parameters:

blockManager - manages buffer in blocks

expiryMillis - buffer caching period in milliseconds

Returns:

new instance

Throws:

java.io.IOException
