Method Details

compress

public static boolean compress(byte[] in,
 int len,
 byte[] tmp,
 DataOutput out)
                        throws IOException

Compress in[0:len] into out. This returns false if the content cannot be compressed. The number of bytes written is guaranteed to be less than len otherwise.

Throws:

IOException

decompress

public static void decompress(DataInput in,
 byte[] out,
 int len)
                       throws IOException

Decompress data that has been compressed with compress(byte[], int, byte[], DataOutput). len must be the original length, not the compressed length.

Throws:

IOException
