Class DeferredFileOutputStream

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.io.Closeable, java.io.Flushable, java.lang.AutoCloseable
    public class DeferredFileOutputStream
extends ThresholdingOutputStream

    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).

        public DeferredFileOutputStream​(int threshold,
                                java.io.File outputFile)
        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:
        threshold - The number of bytes at which to trigger an event.
        outputFile - The file to which data is saved beyond the threshold.

        public DeferredFileOutputStream​(int threshold,
                                DeferredFileOutputStream.FileFactory fileFactory)
        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:

    • Method Detail

      • getData

        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.

      • getFile

        public java.io.File getFile()
        Returns the data for this output stream as a File, assuming that the data was written to disk. If the data was retained in memory, this method returns null.
        Returns:
        The file for this output stream, or null if no such file exists.

      • 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.

      • getStream

        protected java.io.OutputStream getStream()
                                  throws java.io.IOException
        Returns the current output stream. This may be memory based or disk based, depending on the current state with respect to the threshold.
        Specified by:
        getStream in class ThresholdingOutputStream
        Returns:
        The underlying output stream.
        Throws:
        java.io.IOException - if an error occurs.

      • thresholdReached

        protected void thresholdReached()
                         throws java.io.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 realize that too much data is being written to keep in memory, so we elect to switch to disk-based storage.
        Specified by:
        thresholdReached in class ThresholdingOutputStream
        Throws:
        java.io.IOException - if an error occurs.
