Field Detail

UTF_8

public static final String UTF_8

UTF-8 charset string.

Where possible, use StandardCharsets.UTF_8 instead, as using the String constant may slow things down.

StandardCharsets.UTF_8

Method Detail

close

public static void close(Closeable... objects)
                  throws IOException

Closes all given Closeables. Some of the Closeables may be null; they are ignored. After everything is closed, the method either throws the first exception it hit while closing, or completes normally if there were no exceptions.

Parameters:

objects - objects to call close() on

Throws:

IOException

close

public static void close(Iterable<? extends Closeable> objects)
                  throws IOException

Closes all given Closeables.

Throws:

IOException

See Also:

close(Closeable...)

closeWhileHandlingException

public static void closeWhileHandlingException(Closeable... objects)

Closes all given Closeables, suppressing all thrown exceptions. Some of the Closeables may be null, they are ignored.

Parameters:

objects - objects to call close() on

closeWhileHandlingException

public static void closeWhileHandlingException(Iterable<? extends Closeable> objects)

Closes all given Closeables, suppressing all thrown exceptions.

See Also:

closeWhileHandlingException(Closeable...)

getDecodingReader

public static Reader getDecodingReader(InputStream stream,
                                       Charset charSet)

Wrapping the given InputStream in a reader using a CharsetDecoder. Unlike Java's defaults this reader will throw an exception if your it detects the read charset doesn't match the expected Charset.

Decoding readers are useful to load configuration files, stopword lists or synonym files to detect character set problems. However, it's not recommended to use as a common purpose reader.

Parameters:

stream - the stream to wrap in a reader

charSet - the expected charset

Returns:

a wrapping reader

getDecodingReader

public static Reader getDecodingReader(Class<?> clazz,
                                       String resource,
                                       Charset charSet)
                                throws IOException

Opens a Reader for the given resource using a CharsetDecoder. Unlike Java's defaults this reader will throw an exception if your it detects the read charset doesn't match the expected Charset.

Decoding readers are useful to load configuration files, stopword lists or synonym files to detect character set problems. However, it's not recommended to use as a common purpose reader.

Parameters:

clazz - the class used to locate the resource

resource - the resource name to load

charSet - the expected charset

Returns:

a reader to read the given file

Throws:

IOException

Deletes all given file names. Some of the file names may be null; they are ignored. After everything is deleted, the method either throws the first exception it hit while deleting, or completes normally if there were no exceptions.

Parameters:

Throws:

IOException

Some of the files may be null, if so they are ignored.

deleteFilesIgnoringExceptions

public static void deleteFilesIgnoringExceptions(Collection<? extends Path> files)

Deletes all given files, suppressing all thrown IOExceptions.

Some of the files may be null, if so they are ignored.

deleteFilesIfExist

public static void deleteFilesIfExist(Path... files)
                               throws IOException

Deletes all given Paths, if they exist. Some of the Files may be null; they are ignored. After everything is deleted, the method either throws the first exception it hit while deleting, or completes normally if there were no exceptions.

Parameters:

deleteFilesIfExist

public static void deleteFilesIfExist(Collection<? extends Path> files)
                               throws IOException

Parameters:

files - files to delete

Throws:

IOException

rm

public static void rm(Path... locations)
               throws IOException

Deletes one or more files or directories (and everything underneath it).

Throws:

IOException - if any of the given files (or their subhierarchy files in case of directories) cannot be removed.

rethrowAlways

public static Error rethrowAlways(Throwable th)
                           throws IOException,
                                  RuntimeException

This utility method takes a previously caught (non-null) Throwable and rethrows either the original argument if it was a subclass of the IOException or an RuntimeException with the cause set to the argument.

This method never returns any value, even though it declares a return value of type Error. The return value declaration is very useful to let the compiler know that the code path following the invocation of this method is unreachable. So in most cases the invocation of this method will be guarded by an if and used together with a throw statement, as in:

   if (t != null) throw IOUtils.rethrowAlways(t)
 
 

Parameters:

th - The throwable to rethrow, must not be null.

Returns:

This method always results in an exception, it never returns any value. See method documentation for detailsa and usage example.

Throws:

IOException - if the argument was an instance of IOException

RuntimeException - with the Throwable.getCause() set to the argument, if it was not an instance of IOException.

reThrow

@Deprecated
public static void reThrow(Throwable th)
                                throws IOException

Deprecated. This method is deprecated in favor of rethrowAlways(java.lang.Throwable). Code should be updated to rethrowAlways(java.lang.Throwable) and guarded with an additional null-argument check (because rethrowAlways(java.lang.Throwable) is not accepting null arguments).

Rethrows the argument as IOException or RuntimeException if it's not null.

Throws:

IOException

reThrowUnchecked

@Deprecated
public static void reThrowUnchecked(Throwable th)

Deprecated. This method is deprecated in favor of rethrowAlways(java.lang.Throwable). Code should be updated to rethrowAlways(java.lang.Throwable) and guarded with an additional null-argument check (because rethrowAlways(java.lang.Throwable) is not accepting null arguments).

fsync

public static void fsync(Path fileToSync,
                         boolean isDir)
                  throws IOException

Ensure that any writes to the given file is written to the storage device that contains it.

Parameters:

fileToSync - the file to fsync

isDir - if true, the given file is a directory (we open for read and ignore IOExceptions, because not all file systems and operating systems allow to fsync on a directory)

Throws:

IOException

spins

public static boolean spins(Directory dir)
                     throws IOException

If the dir is an FSDirectory or wraps one via possibly nested FilterDirectory or FileSwitchDirectory, this returns spins(Path) for the wrapped directory, else, true.

Throws:

IOException - if path does not exist.

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

spins

public static boolean spins(Path path)
                     throws IOException

Rough Linux-only heuristics to determine whether the provided Path is backed by spinning storage. For example, this returns false if the disk is a solid-state disk.

Parameters:

path - a location to check which must exist. the mount point will be determined from this location.

Returns:

false if the storage is non-rotational (e.g. an SSD), or true if it is spinning or could not be determined

Throws:

IOException - if path does not exist.
