Class VariableByte

java.lang.Object
  me.lemire.integercompression.VariableByte

All Implemented Interfaces:

ByteIntegerCODEC, IntegerCODEC

public class VariableByte
extends Object
implements IntegerCODEC, ByteIntegerCODEC

Implementation of variable-byte. For best performance, use it using the ByteIntegerCODEC interface. Note that this does not use differential coding: if you are working on sorted lists, you must compute the deltas separately.

Method Detail

compress

public void compress(int[] in,
                     IntWrapper inpos,
                     int inlength,
                     int[] out,
                     IntWrapper outpos)

Description copied from interface: IntegerCODEC

Compress data from an array to another array. Both inpos and outpos are modified to represent how much data was read and written to if 12 ints (inlength = 12) are compressed to 3 ints, then inpos will be incremented by 12 while outpos will be incremented by 3 we use IntWrapper to pass the values by reference.

Specified by:

compress in interface IntegerCODEC

Parameters:

in - input array

inpos - location in the input array

inlength - how many integers to compress

out - output array

outpos - where to write in the output array

compress

public void compress(int[] in,
                     IntWrapper inpos,
                     int inlength,
                     byte[] out,
                     IntWrapper outpos)

Description copied from interface: ByteIntegerCODEC

Compress data from an array to another array. Both inpos and outpos are modified to represent how much data was read and written to if 12 ints (inlength = 12) are compressed to 3 bytes, then inpos will be incremented by 12 while outpos will be incremented by 3 we use IntWrapper to pass the values by reference.

Specified by:

compress in interface ByteIntegerCODEC

Parameters:

in - input array

inpos - location in the input array

inlength - how many integers to compress

out - output array

outpos - where to write in the output array

uncompress

public void uncompress(int[] in,
                       IntWrapper inpos,
                       int inlength,
                       int[] out,
                       IntWrapper outpos)

Description copied from interface: IntegerCODEC

Uncompress data from an array to another array. Both inpos and outpos parameters are modified to indicate new positions after read/write.

Specified by:

uncompress in interface IntegerCODEC

Parameters:

in - array containing data in compressed form

inpos - where to start reading in the array

inlength - length of the compressed data (ignored by some schemes)

out - array where to write the compressed output

outpos - where to write the compressed output in out

uncompress

public void uncompress(byte[] in,
                       IntWrapper inpos,
                       int inlength,
                       int[] out,
                       IntWrapper outpos)

Description copied from interface: ByteIntegerCODEC

Uncompress data from an array to another array. Both inpos and outpos parameters are modified to indicate new positions after read/write.

Specified by:

uncompress in interface ByteIntegerCODEC

Parameters:

in - array containing data in compressed form

inpos - where to start reading in the array

inlength - length of the compressed data (ignored by some schemes)

out - array where to write the compressed output

outpos - where to write the compressed output in out

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Object
