Class DeferredFileOutputStream

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Closeable, Flushable, AutoCloseable
    public class DeferredFileOutputStream
extends AbstractThresholdingOutputStream
    An output stream which will retain data in memory until a specified threshold is reached, and only then commit it to disk. If the stream is closed before the threshold is reached, the data will not be written to disk at all.

    This class originated in FileUpload processing. In this use case, you do not know in advance the size of the file being uploaded. If the file is small you want to store it in memory (for speed), but if the file is large you want to store it to file (to avoid memory issues).

    • Constructor Detail

      • DeferredFileOutputStream

        public DeferredFileOutputStream​(@Nonnegative
                                int nThreshold,
                                @Nonnull
                                File aOutputFile)
        Constructs an instance of this class which will trigger an event at the specified threshold, and save data to a file beyond that point.
        Parameters:
        nThreshold - The number of bytes at which to trigger an event.
        aOutputFile - The file to which data is saved beyond the threshold.

    • Method Detail

      • onThresholdReached

        protected void onThresholdReached()
                           throws IOException
        Switches the underlying output stream from a memory based stream to one that is backed by disk. This is the point at which we realise that too much data is being written to keep in memory, so we elect to switch to disk-based storage.
        Specified by:
        onThresholdReached in class AbstractThresholdingOutputStream
        Throws:
        IOException - if an error occurs.

      • getMemoryOS

        @Nullable
public final com.helger.commons.io.stream.NonBlockingByteArrayOutputStream getMemoryOS()

      • isInMemory

        public boolean isInMemory()
        Determines whether or not the data for this output stream has been retained in memory.
        Returns:
        true if the data is available in memory; false otherwise.

      • getData

        @Nullable
@ReturnsMutableCopy
public byte[] getData()
        Returns the data for this output stream as an array of bytes, assuming that the data has been retained in memory. If the data was written to disk, this method returns null.
        Returns:
        The data for this output stream, or null if no such data is available.
        See Also:
        isInMemory()

      • getDataLength

        @Nonnegative
public int getDataLength()
        Returns the length of the data for this output stream as number of bytes, assuming that the data has been retained in memory. If the data was written to disk, this method returns 0.
        Returns:
        The length of the data for this output stream, or 0 if no such data is available.
        See Also:
        isInMemory()

      • getFile

        @Nonnull
public File getFile()
        Returns either the output file specified in the constructor or the temporary file created or null.

        If the constructor specifying the file is used then it returns that same output file, even when threshold has not been reached.

        If constructor specifying a temporary file prefix/suffix is used then the temporary file created once the threshold is reached is returned If the threshold was not reached then null is returned.

        Returns:
        The file for this output stream, or null if no such file exists.

      • writeTo

        public void writeTo​(@Nonnull @WillNotClose
                    OutputStream aOS)
             throws IOException
        Writes the data from this output stream to the specified output stream, after it has been closed.
        Parameters:
        aOS - output stream to write to.
        Throws:
        IOException - if this stream is not yet closed or an error occurs.
