public class CharMappedBigList
extends AbstractCharBigList

A bridge between byte buffers and type-specific big lists.

Java's memory-mapping facilities have the severe limitation of mapping at most Integer.MAX_VALUE bytes, as they expose the content of a file using a MappedByteBuffer. This class can expose a file of primitive types of arbitrary length as a BigList that is actually based on an array of MappedByteBuffers, each mapping a chunk of CHUNK_SIZE longs.

Mapping can happen with a specified byte order: saving and mapping data in native order using methods from BinIO will enhance performance significantly.

Instances of this class are not thread safe, but the copy() method provides a lightweight duplicate that can be read independently by another thread. Only chunks that are actually used will be duplicated lazily. If you are modifiying the content of list, however, you will need to provide external synchronization.

Field Details

LOG2_BYTES

public static int LOG2_BYTES

The logarithm of the number of bytes of the primitive type of this list.

LOG2_BITS

@Deprecated
public static int LOG2_BITS

Deprecated.

Use LOG2_BYTES.

CHUNK_SIZE

public static final long CHUNK_SIZE

The size in elements of a chunk created by map(FileChannel, ByteOrder, FileChannel.MapMode).

Method Details

map

public static CharMappedBigList map(FileChannel fileChannel)
                             throws IOException

Creates a new mapped big list by read-only mapping a given file channel using the standard Java (i.e., DataOutput) byte order (ByteOrder.BIG_ENDIAN).

Parameters:

fileChannel - the file channel that will be mapped.

Returns:

a new read-only mapped big list over the contents of fileChannel.

Throws:

IOException

See Also:

• map(FileChannel, ByteOrder, MapMode)

map

public static CharMappedBigList map(FileChannel fileChannel,
 ByteOrder byteOrder)
                             throws IOException

Creates a new mapped big list by read-only mapping a given file channel.

Parameters:

fileChannel - the file channel that will be mapped.

byteOrder - a prescribed byte order.

Returns:

a new read-only mapped big list over the contents of fileChannel.

Throws:

IOException

See Also:

• map(FileChannel, ByteOrder, MapMode)

map

public static CharMappedBigList map(FileChannel fileChannel,
 ByteOrder byteOrder,
 FileChannel.MapMode mapMode)
                             throws IOException

Creates a new mapped big list by mapping a given file channel.

Parameters:

fileChannel - the file channel that will be mapped.

byteOrder - a prescribed byte order.

mapMode - the mapping mode: usually FileChannel.MapMode.READ_ONLY, but if intend to make the list mutable, you have to pass FileChannel.MapMode.READ_WRITE.

Returns:

a new mapped big list over the contents of fileChannel.

Throws:

IOException

copy

public CharMappedBigList copy()

Returns a lightweight duplicate that can be read independently by another thread.

Only chunks that are actually used will be duplicated lazily.

Returns:

a lightweight duplicate that can be read independently by another thread.
