sizeInBytes

Constructor Detail

RAMDirectory

public RAMDirectory()
Constructs an empty Directory.


RAMDirectory

public RAMDirectory(Directory dir)
             throws IOException
Creates a new RAMDirectory instance from a different Directory implementation. This can be used to load a disk-based index into memory.

This should be used only with indices that can fit into memory.

Note that the resulting RAMDirectory instance is fully independent from the original Directory (it is a complete copy). Any subsequent changes to the original Directory will not be visible in the RAMDirectory instance.

Parameters:
dir - a Directory value
Throws:
IOException - if an error occurs
Method Detail

listAll

public final String[] listAll()
Description copied from class: Directory
Returns an array of strings, one for each file in the directory.

Specified by:
listAll in class Directory

fileExists

public final boolean fileExists(String name)
Returns true iff the named file exists in this directory.

Specified by:
fileExists in class Directory

fileModified

public final long fileModified(String name)
                        throws IOException
Returns the time the named file was last modified.

Specified by:
fileModified in class Directory
Throws:
IOException - if the file does not exist

touchFile

public void touchFile(String name)
               throws IOException
Set the modified time of an existing file to now.

Specified by:
touchFile in class Directory
Throws:
IOException - if the file does not exist

fileLength

public final long fileLength(String name)
                      throws IOException
Returns the length in bytes of a file in the directory.

Specified by:
fileLength in class Directory
Parameters:
name - the name of the file for which to return the length.
Throws:
IOException - if the file does not exist

sizeInBytes

public final long sizeInBytes()
Return total size in bytes of all files in this directory. This is currently quantized to RAMOutputStream.BUFFER_SIZE.


deleteFile

public void deleteFile(String name)
                throws IOException
Removes an existing file in the directory.

Specified by:
deleteFile in class Directory
Throws:
IOException - if the file does not exist

createOutput

public IndexOutput createOutput(String name)
                         throws IOException
Creates a new, empty file in the directory with the given name. Returns a stream writing this file.

Specified by:
createOutput in class Directory
Throws:
IOException

newRAMFile

protected RAMFile newRAMFile()
Returns a new RAMFile for storing data. This method can be overridden to return different RAMFile impls, that e.g. override RAMFile.newBuffer(int).


openInput

public IndexInput openInput(String name)
                     throws IOException
Returns a stream reading an existing file.

Specified by:
openInput in class Directory
Throws:
IOException

close

public void close()
Closes the store to future operations, releasing associated memory.

Specified by:
close in interface Closeable
Specified by:
close in class Directory
