Class DirectBinaryEncoder

All Implemented Interfaces:

Flushable

public class DirectBinaryEncoder
extends BinaryEncoder

An Encoder for Avro's binary encoding that does not buffer output.

This encoder does not buffer writes, and as a result is slower than BufferedBinaryEncoder. However, it is lighter-weight and useful when the buffering in BufferedBinaryEncoder is not desired and/or the Encoder is very short lived.

To construct, use EncoderFactory.directBinaryEncoder(OutputStream, BinaryEncoder)

DirectBinaryEncoder is not thread-safe

Method Summary

int	bytesBuffered() Returns the number of bytes currently buffered by this encoder.
void	flush()
void	writeBoolean(boolean b) Write a boolean value.
void	writeDouble(double d) Write a double.
void	writeFixed(byte[] bytes, int start, int len) Writes a fixed size binary object.
void	writeFloat(float f) Write a float.
void	writeInt(int n) Writes a 32-bit integer.
void	writeLong(long n) Write a 64-bit integer.
protected void	writeZero() Write a zero byte to the underlying output.

public void writeDouble(double d)
                 throws IOException

Description copied from class: Encoder

Write a double.

Specified by:

writeDouble in class Encoder

Throws:

IOException

writeFixed

public void writeFixed(byte[] bytes,
                       int start,
                       int len)
                throws IOException

Description copied from class: Encoder

Writes a fixed size binary object.

Specified by:

writeFixed in class Encoder

Parameters:

bytes - The contents to write

start - The position within bytes where the contents start.

len - The number of bytes to write.

Throws:

IOException

writeZero

protected void writeZero()
                  throws IOException

Description copied from class: BinaryEncoder

Write a zero byte to the underlying output.

Specified by:

writeZero in class BinaryEncoder

Throws:

IOException

bytesBuffered

public int bytesBuffered()

Description copied from class: BinaryEncoder

Returns the number of bytes currently buffered by this encoder. If this Encoder does not buffer, this will always return zero.

Call Flushable.flush() to empty the buffer to the underlying output.

Specified by:

bytesBuffered in class BinaryEncoder
