Class MultiBufferWriteBuffer

java.lang.Object
  extended by com.tangosol.io.AbstractWriteBuffer
      extended by com.tangosol.io.MultiBufferWriteBuffer

All Implemented Interfaces:
WriteBuffer, Disposable

public final class MultiBufferWriteBuffer
extends AbstractWriteBuffer
implements Disposable

The MultiBufferWriteBuffer is used to present a single WriteBuffer that collects together a sequence of underlying WriteBuffer objects, and which grows by allocating additional WriteBuffer objects as necessary.

Author:
cp 2006.04.10

Nested Class Summary
 class MultiBufferWriteBuffer.MultiBufferOutput
          The MultiBufferOutput implementation extends the AbstractBufferOutput to provide "pass through" operations to the underlying buffer if the operation is guaranteed to fit in the underlying buffer; otherwise, it virtualizes the operation onto the MultiBufferWriteBuffer itself so that the over-run of one underlying WriteBuffer will end up being written to the next underlying WriteBuffer.
static interface MultiBufferWriteBuffer.WriteBufferPool
          A WriteBufferPool is used to dynamically allocate WriteBuffer objects as the MultiBufferWriteBuffer requires them.

Constructor Summary
MultiBufferWriteBuffer(MultiBufferWriteBuffer.WriteBufferPool bufferpool)
          Construct a MultiBufferWriteBuffer that will use the passed WriteBufferPool to allocate WriteBuffer objects from.

 

Method Summary
protected  WriteBuffer addBuffer()
          Once the current buffer is full, allocate a new one and make it the current buffer.
 Object clone()
          Create a clone of this WriteBuffer object. Changes to the clone will not affect the original, and vice-versa.
 void dispose()
          Invoked when all resources owned by the implementor can safely be released.
protected  MultiBufferWriteBuffer.MultiBufferOutput ensureBufferOutput(int of)
          Obtain the internal MultiBufferOutput, creating it if necessary.
 WriteBuffer getBuffer(int iBuffer)
          Obtain the specified buffer.
 int getBufferCount()
          Determine the number of WriteBuffer objects allocated by this MultiBufferWriteBuffer from the WriteBufferPool.
protected  int getBufferIndexByOffset(int of)
          Determine which underlying WriteBuffer contains the specified offset.
 int getBufferOffset(int iBuffer)
          Determine the offset of the specified buffer.
 WriteBuffer.BufferOutput getBufferOutput(int of)
          Get a BufferOutput object to write data to this buffer starting at a particular offset.

Note that each call to this method will return a new BufferOutput object, with the possible exception being that a zero-length non-resizing WriteBuffer could always return the same instance (since it is not writable).

This is functionally equivalent to:


 BufferOutput bufout = getBufferOutput();
 bufout.setOffset(of);
 return bufout;
 
 MultiBufferWriteBuffer.WriteBufferPool getBufferPool()
          Obtain the factory used to create WriteBuffer objects.
 int getCapacity()
          Determine the number of bytes that the buffer can hold without resizing itself. In other words, a WriteBuffer has getCapacity() - WriteBuffer.length() bytes that can be written to it without overflowing the current underlying buffer allocation. Since the buffer is an abstract concept, the actual mechanism for the underlying buffer is not known, but it could be a Java NIO buffer, or a byte array, etc.

Note that if the maximum size returned by WriteBuffer.getMaximumCapacity() is greater than the current size returned by this method, then the WriteBuffer will automatically resize itself to allocate more space when the amount of data written to it passes the current size.

protected  WriteBuffer getCurrentBuffer()
          Obtain the current buffer.
protected  int getCurrentBufferAbsoluteOffset()
          Determine the offset of the first byte of the current buffer.
protected  int getCurrentBufferRemaining()
          Determine the maximum number of bytes that can still be written to the current underlying WriteBuffer.
 int getMaximumCapacity()
          Determine the maximum number of bytes that the buffer can hold. If the maximum size is greater than the current size, then the buffer is expected to resize itself as necessary up to the maximum size in order to contain the data given to it.
 ReadBuffer getReadBuffer()
          Get a ReadBuffer object that is a snapshot of this WriteBuffer's data.

This method is functionally equivalent to the following code:


 ReadBuffer buf = getUnsafeReadBuffer();
 byte[] ab = buf.toByteArray();
 return new ByteArrayReadBuffer(ab);
 
 ReadBuffer getUnsafeReadBuffer()
          Get a ReadBuffer object to read data from this buffer. This method is not guaranteed to return a snapshot of this buffer's data, nor is it guaranteed to return a live view of this buffer, which means that subsequent changes to this WriteBuffer may or may not affect the contents and / or the length of the returned ReadBuffer.

To get a snapshot, use the WriteBuffer.getReadBuffer() method.

 int length()
          Determine the length of the data that is in the buffer. This is the actual number of bytes of data that have been written to the buffer, not the capacity of the buffer.
 void retain(int of, int cb)
          Starting with the byte at offset of, retain cb bytes in this WriteBuffer, such that the byte at offset of is shifted to offset 0, the byte at offset of + 1 is shifted to offset 1, and so on up to the byte at offset of + cb - 1, which is shifted to offset cb - 1. After this method, the length of the buffer as indicated by the WriteBuffer.length() method will be equal to cb.

Legal values for the offset of the first byte to retain of are (of >= 0 && of <= WriteBuffer.length()). Legal values for the number of bytes to retain cb are (cb >= 0 && cb <= WriteBuffer.length()), such that (of + cb <= WriteBuffer.length()).

If cb is zero, then this method will have the same effect as clear. If of is zero, then this method will have the effect of truncating the data in the buffer, but no bytes will be shifted within the buffer.

The effect on the capacity of the buffer is implementation-specific; some implementations are expected to retain the same capacity while others are expected to shrink accordingly.

 Binary toBinary()
          Returns a new Binary object that holds the complete contents of this WriteBuffer.

This method is functionally equivalent to the following code:


 return getUnsafeReadBuffer().toBinary();
 
 byte[] toByteArray()
          Returns a new byte array that holds the complete contents of this WriteBuffer.

This method is functionally equivalent to the following code:


 return getUnsafeReadBuffer().toByteArray();
 
 void write(int ofDest, byte b)
          Store the specified byte at the specified offset within the buffer.

For purposes of side-effects and potential exceptions, this method is functionally equivalent to the following code:


 byte[] abSrc = new byte[1];
 abSrc[0] = b;
 write(ofDest, abSrc, 0, abSrc.length);
 
 void write(int ofDest, byte[] abSrc, int ofSrc, int cbSrc)
          Store the specified number of bytes from the specified location within the passed byte array at the specified offset within this buffer.

As a result of this method, the buffer length as reported by the WriteBuffer.length() method will become Math.max(WriteBuffer.length(), ofDest + cbSrc).

As a result of this method, the buffer capacity as reported by the WriteBuffer.getCapacity() method will not change if the new value returned by WriteBuffer.length() would not exceed the old value returned by WriteBuffer.getCapacity(); otherwise, the capacity will be increased such that WriteBuffer.getCapacity() >= WriteBuffer.length(). Regardless, it is always true that WriteBuffer.getCapacity() >= WriteBuffer.length() and WriteBuffer.getMaximumCapacity() >= WriteBuffer.getCapacity(). If the buffer capacity cannot be increased due to resource constraints, an undesignated Error or RuntimeException will be thrown, such as OutOfMemoryError.

 void write(int ofDest, ReadBuffer bufSrc, int ofSrc, int cbSrc)
          Store the specified portion of the contents of the specified ReadBuffer at the specified offset within this buffer.

For purposes of side-effects and potential exceptions, this method is functionally equivalent to the following code:


 byte[] abSrc = bufSrc.toByteArray(ofSrc, cbSrc);
 write(ofDest, abSrc, 0, abSrc.length);
