public abstract class DataInput
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.lang.Cloneable

Abstract base class for performing read operations of Lucene's low-level data types.

DataInput may only be used from one thread, because it is not thread safe (it keeps internal state like file position). To allow multithreaded use, every DataInput instance must be cloned before used in another thread. Subclasses must therefore implement clone(), returning a new DataInput which operates on the same underlying resource, but positioned independently.

public DataInput()

Method Detail

readByte

public abstract byte readByte()
                       throws java.io.IOException

Reads and returns a single byte.

Throws:

java.io.IOException

See Also:

DataOutput.writeByte(byte)

readBytes

public abstract void readBytes(byte[] b,

                               int len)
                        throws java.io.IOException

Reads a specified number of bytes into an array at the specified offset.

Parameters:

b - the array to read bytes into

offset - the offset in the array to start storing bytes

len - the number of bytes to read

Throws:

java.io.IOException

See Also:

DataOutput.writeBytes(byte[],int)

readBytes

public void readBytes(byte[] b,
                      int offset,
                      int len,
                      boolean useBuffer)
               throws java.io.IOException

Reads a specified number of bytes into an array at the specified offset with control over whether the read should be buffered (callers who have their own buffer should pass in "false" for useBuffer). Currently only BufferedIndexInput respects this parameter.

Parameters:

b - the array to read bytes into

offset - the offset in the array to start storing bytes

len - the number of bytes to read

useBuffer - set to false if the caller will handle buffering.

The format is described further in DataOutput.writeVInt(int).

Throws:

java.io.IOException

See Also:

DataOutput.writeVInt(int)

readZInt

public int readZInt()
             throws java.io.IOException

clone

public DataInput clone()

Returns a clone of this stream.

Clones of a stream access the same data, and are positioned at the same point as the stream they were cloned from.

Expert: Subclasses must ensure that clones may be positioned at different points in the input from each other and from the stream they were cloned from.

Overrides:

clone in class java.lang.Object

Throws:

java.io.IOException
