Class DataInput

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.lang.Cloneable
    Direct Known Subclasses:
    ByteArrayDataInput, ByteBuffersDataInput, ByteSliceReader, FST.BytesReader, IndexInput, InputStreamDataInput, PagedBytes.PagedBytesDataInput

    public abstract class DataInput
    extends java.lang.Object
    implements java.lang.Cloneable
    Abstract base class for performing read operations of Lucene's low-level data types.

    DataInput may only be used from one thread, because it is not thread safe (it keeps internal state like file position). To allow multithreaded use, every DataInput instance must be cloned before used in another thread. Subclasses must therefore implement clone(), returning a new DataInput which operates on the same underlying resource, but positioned independently.

        Reads a specified number of bytes into an array at the specified offset with control over whether the read should be buffered (callers who have their own buffer should pass in "false" for useBuffer). Currently only BufferedIndexInput respects this parameter.

        offset - the offset in the array to start storing bytes
        len - the number of bytes to read

        The format is described further in DataOutput.writeVInt(int).

        Throws:
        java.io.IOException
        See Also:

        Read a specified number of longs with the little endian byte order.

        This method can be used to read longs whose bytes have been reversed at write time:

         for (long l : longs) {
           output.writeLong(Long.reverseBytes(l));
         }
         
        Throws:
        java.io.IOException
      • readVLong

        public long readVLong()
                       throws java.io.IOException
        Reads a long stored in variable-length format. Reads between one and nine bytes. Smaller values take fewer bytes. Negative numbers are not supported.

        The format is described further in DataOutput.writeVInt(int).

        Throws:
        java.io.IOException

        Throws:
        java.io.IOException
        See Also:
        DataOutput.writeString(String)
      • clone

        public DataInput clone()
        Returns a clone of this stream.

        Clones of a stream access the same data, and are positioned at the same point as the stream they were cloned from.

        Expert: Subclasses must ensure that clones may be positioned at different points in the input from each other and from the stream they were cloned from.

        Overrides:
        clone in class java.lang.Object
      • readMapOfStrings

        Reads a Map<String,String> previously written with DataOutput.writeMapOfStrings(Map).
        Returns:
        An immutable map containing the written contents.
        Throws:
        java.io.IOException
      • readSetOfStrings

        public java.util.Set<java.lang.String> readSetOfStrings()
                                                         throws java.io.IOException
        Reads a Set<String> previously written with DataOutput.writeSetOfStrings(Set).
        Returns:
        An immutable set containing the written contents.
        Throws:
        java.io.IOException
      • skipBytes

        public void skipBytes​(long numBytes)
                       throws java.io.IOException
        Skip over numBytes bytes. The contract on this method is that it should have the same behavior as reading the same number of bytes into a buffer and discarding its content. Negative values of numBytes are not supported.
        Throws:
        java.io.IOException
