Class ByteBlockPool

java.lang.Object

org.apache.lucene.util.ByteBlockPool

public final class ByteBlockPool
extends Object

Class that Posting and PostingVector use to write byte streams into shared fixed-size byte[] arrays. The idea is to allocate slices of increasing lengths For example, the first slice is 5 bytes, the next slice is 14, etc. We start by writing our bytes into the first 5 bytes. When we hit the end of the slice, we allocate the next slice and then write the address of the new slice into the last 4 bytes of the previous slice (the "forwarding address"). Each slice is filled with 0's initially, and we mark the end with a non-zero byte. This way the methods that are writing into the slice don't need to record its length and instead allocate a new slice once they hit a non-zero byte.

NOTE: This API is for internal purposes only and might change in incompatible ways in the next release.

Method Detail

reset

public void reset()

Resets the pool to its initial state reusing the first buffer and fills all buffers with 0 bytes before they reused or passed to ByteBlockPool.Allocator.recycleByteBlocks(byte[][], int, int). Calling nextBuffer() is not needed after reset.

reset

public void reset(boolean zeroFillBuffers,
         boolean reuseFirst)

Expert: Resets the pool to its initial state reusing the first buffer. Calling nextBuffer() is not needed after reset.

Parameters:

zeroFillBuffers - if true the buffers are filled with 0. This should be set to true if this pool is used with slices.

reuseFirst - if true the first buffer will be reused and calling nextBuffer() is not needed after reset iff the block pool was used before ie. nextBuffer() was called before.

nextBuffer

public void nextBuffer()

Advances the pool to its next buffer. This method should be called once after the constructor to initialize the pool. In contrast to the constructor a reset() call will advance the pool to its first buffer immediately.

newSlice

public int newSlice(int size)

Allocates a new slice with the given size.

See Also:

FIRST_LEVEL_SIZE

allocSlice

public int allocSlice(byte[] slice,
             int upto)

Creates a new byte slice with the given starting size and returns the slices offset in the pool.

setBytesRef

public void setBytesRef(BytesRef term,
               int textStart)

append

public void append(BytesRef bytes)

Appends the bytes in the provided BytesRef at the current position.

readBytes

public void readBytes(long offset,
             byte[] bytes,
             int off,
             int length)

Reads bytes bytes out of the pool starting at the given offset with the given length into the given byte array at offset off.

Note: this method allows to copy across block boundaries.
