Package io.permazen.kv.util

Class KeyListEncoder

java.lang.Object

io.permazen.kv.util.KeyListEncoder

public final class KeyListEncoder
extends Object

Serializes a sequence of byte[] arrays, compressing consecutive common prefixes.

Keys are encoded/decoded by read() and write() in one of two forms:

• total-length bytes...
• -prefix-length suffix-length suffix-bytes ...

The first length (total-length or negative prefix-length) is encoded using LongEncoder. The suffix-length, if present, is encoded using UnsignedIntEncoder.

Support for encoding and decoding an entire iteration of key/value pairs is supported via readPairs() and writePairs().

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
static byte[]	read(InputStream input, byte[] prev)	Read the next key.
static Iterator<KVPair>	readPairs(InputStream input)	Decode an iteration of key/value pairs previously encoded by writePairs().
static void	write(OutputStream out, byte[] key, byte[] prev)	Write the next key, compressing its common prefix with the previous key (if any).
static int	writeLength(byte[] key, byte[] prev)	Calculate the number of bytes that would be required to write the next key via write().
static void	writePairs(Iterator<KVPair> kvpairs, OutputStream output)	Encode an iteration of key/value pairs.
static long	writePairsLength(Iterator<KVPair> kvpairs)	Determine the number of bytes that would be written by writePairs().

Method Details

write

public static void write(OutputStream out,
 byte[] key,
 byte[] prev)
                  throws IOException

Write the next key, compressing its common prefix with the previous key (if any).

Parameters:

out - output stream

key - key to write

prev - previous key, or null for none

Throws:

IOException - if an I/O error occurs

IllegalArgumentException - if out or key is null

writeLength

public static int writeLength(byte[] key,
 byte[] prev)

Calculate the number of bytes that would be required to write the next key via write().

Parameters:

key - key to write

prev - previous key, or null for none

Returns:

number of bytes to be written by write(out, key, prev)

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if key is null

read

public static byte[] read(InputStream input,
 byte[] prev)
                   throws IOException

Read the next key.

Parameters:

input - input stream

prev - previous key, or null for none

Returns:

next key

Throws:

IOException - if an I/O error occurs

EOFException - if an unexpected EOF is encountered

IllegalArgumentException - if input is null

IllegalArgumentException - if input contains invalid data

writePairs

public static void writePairs(Iterator<KVPair> kvpairs,
 OutputStream output)
                       throws IOException

Encode an iteration of key/value pairs.

Parameters:

kvpairs - key/value pair iteration

output - encoded output

Throws:

IOException - if an I/O error occurs

IllegalArgumentException - if either parameter is null

writePairsLength

public static long writePairsLength(Iterator<KVPair> kvpairs)

Determine the number of bytes that would be written by writePairs().

Parameters:

kvpairs - key/value pair iteration

Returns:

encoded length of this instance

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if kvpairs is null

readPairs

public static Iterator<KVPair> readPairs(InputStream input)

Decode an iteration of key/value pairs previously encoded by writePairs().

If an IOException occurs during iteration, the returned Iterator wraps it in a RuntimeException.

If invalid input is encountered during iteration, the returned Iterator will throw an IllegalArgumentException.

Parameters:

input - encoded input

Returns:

iteration of key/value pairs

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if input is null
