public final class UniqueValuesIntEncoder extends IntEncoderFilter
IntEncoderFilter
which ensures only unique values are encoded. The
implementation assumes the values given to encode(int)
are sorted.
If this is not the case, you can chain this encoder with

which matches this encoder. Every encoder
must return an IntDecoder
and null
is not a valid
value. If an encoder is just a filter, it should at least return its
wrapped encoder's matching decoder.
NOTE: this method should create a new instance of the matching decoder and leave the instance sharing to the caller. Returning the same instance over and over is risky because encoders and decoders are not thread safe.

public void reInit(OutputStream out)
IntEncoder
OutputStream
. For
re-usability it can be changed without the need to reconstruct a new
object.
NOTE: after calling IntEncoder.close()
, one must call
this method even if the output stream itself hasn't changed. An example
case is that the output stream wraps a byte[], and the output stream itself
is reset, but its instance hasn't changed. Some implementations of
IntEncoder
may write some metadata about themselves to the output
stream, and therefore it is imperative that one calls this method before
encoding any data.
