Class PipeFactory

java.lang.Object

de.unkrig.commons.io.pipe.PipeFactory

public final class PipeFactory
extends java.lang.Object

The methods of this class create the various Pipe implementations:

byteArrayRingBuffer(int)

A pipe which is backed by an (internal) byte array

byteBufferRingBuffer(ByteBuffer)

A pipe which is backed by a ByteBuffer

elasticPipe()

A Pipe that implements infinite capacity and good performance by first allocating a small in-memory ring buffer, then, if that fills up, a larger one that uses a memory-mapped file, and eventually one based on a random access file with practically unlimited size

elasticPipe(de.unkrig.commons.lang.protocol.ProducerWhichThrows)

A Pipe that implements infinite capacity by allocating delegate pipes as needed (and closing them when they are no longer needed)

mappedFileRingBuffer(java.io.File, int, boolean)

A pipe which is backed by a memory-mapped file, which will be unmapped and (optionally) deleted when the pipe is closed

mappedTempFileRingBuffer(int)

A pipe which is backed by a memory-mapped temporary file, which will be unmapped and deleted when the pipe is closed

randomAccessFileRingBuffer(java.io.File, long, boolean)

A pipe which is backed by a RandomAccessFile, which will (optionally) be deleted when the pipe is closed

randomAccessTempFileRingBuffer(long)

A pipe which is backed by a temporary RandomAccessFile, which is deleted when the pipe is closed

The characteristics of these implementations are as follows:

	Performance	Resource usage	Size limits
byteArrayRingBuffer(int)	Fast	Heap memory	2 GB
byteBufferRingBuffer(ByteBuffer.allocate(int))	Fast	Heap memory	2 GB
byteBufferRingBuffer(ByteBuffer.allocateDirect(int))	Fast	Off-heap memory	2 GB
mappedFileRingBuffer(File, int, boolean)	Medium	Low	2 GB, Address space, disk space
randomAccessFileRingBuffer(File, long, boolean)	Low	Low	Disk space

Method Detail

byteArrayRingBuffer

public static Pipe byteArrayRingBuffer(int capacity)

Returns:

A pipe which is backed by an (internal) byte array of size capacity

randomAccessTempFileRingBuffer

public static Pipe randomAccessTempFileRingBuffer(long capacity)
                                           throws java.io.IOException

Returns:

A pipe which is backed by a temporary RandomAccessFile, which is deleted when the pipe is closed

Throws:

java.io.IOException

randomAccessFileRingBuffer

public static Pipe randomAccessFileRingBuffer(java.io.File file,
                                              long capacity,
                                              boolean deleteFileOnClose)
                                       throws java.io.IOException

Parameters:

deleteFileOnClose - Whether to delete the file when the pipe is closed

Returns:

A pipe which is backed by a RandomAccessFile

Throws:

java.io.IOException

byteBufferRingBuffer

public static Pipe byteBufferRingBuffer(java.nio.ByteBuffer delegate)

Returns:

A pipe which is backed by a ByteBuffer

See Also:

ByteBuffer.allocate(int), ByteBuffer.allocateDirect(int)

mappedTempFileRingBuffer

public static Pipe mappedTempFileRingBuffer(int capacity)
                                     throws java.io.IOException

Returns:

A pipe which is backed by a memory-mapped temporary file, which will be unmapped and deleted when the pipe is closed

Throws:

java.io.IOException

mappedFileRingBuffer

public static Pipe mappedFileRingBuffer(java.io.File file,
                                        int capacity,
                                        boolean deleteFileOnClose)
                                 throws java.io.IOException

Parameters:

capacity - Limited to Integer.MAX_VALUE, because Java's file memory mapping imposes that limitation

deleteFileOnClose - Whether the file should be deleted when the returned pipe is closed

Returns:

A pipe which is backed by a memory-mapped file, which will be unmapped and (optionally) deleted when the pipe is closed

Throws:

java.io.IOException

elasticPipe

public static Pipe elasticPipe()

Returns:

A Pipe that implements infinite capacity and good performance by first allocating a small in-memory ring buffer, then, if that fills up, a larger one that uses a memory-mapped file, and eventually one based on a random access file with practically unlimited size

elasticPipe

public static Pipe elasticPipe(ProducerWhichThrows<? extends Pipe,? extends java.io.IOException> pipes)

Parameters:

pipes - Is invoked when another pipe is needed; the produced pipes are closed when they are no longer needed, or when the returned pipe is closed

Returns:

A Pipe that implements infinite capacity by allocating delegate pipes as needed (and closing them when they are no longer needed)
