Class LazyByteArrayOutputStream

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Closeable, Flushable, AutoCloseable

    @NotThreadSafe
    public final class LazyByteArrayOutputStream
    extends OutputStream
    ByteArrayOutputStream alternative exposing the internal buffer. Using this, callers don't need to call toByteArray() which copies the internal buffer.

    This class doubles the size until the internal buffer reaches a configurable max size (default is 4MB), after which it begins growing the buffer in 25% increments. This is intended to help prevent an OutOfMemoryError during a resize of a large buffer.

    A version of this class was originally created by Bela Ban as part of the JGroups library.

    This class is not threadsafe as it will not support concurrent readers and writers.

      • DEFAULT_DOUBLING_SIZE

        public static final int DEFAULT_DOUBLING_SIZE
        Default buffer size after which if more buffer capacity is needed the buffer will grow by 25% rather than 100%

        public LazyByteArrayOutputStream​(int size,
                                         int maxDoublingSize)
        Creates a new byte array output stream, with a buffer capacity of the specified size, in bytes.
        Parameters:
        size - the initial size.
        maxDoublingSize - the buffer size, after which if more capacity is needed the buffer will grow by 25% rather than 100%
        Throws:
        IllegalArgumentException - if size is negative.
    • Method Detail

      • getRawBuffer

        public byte[] getRawBuffer()
        Gets the internal buffer array. Note that the length of this array will almost certainly be longer than the data written to it; call size() to get the number of bytes of actual data.
      • write

        public void write​(byte[] b,
                          int off,
                          int len)
        Overrides:
        write in class OutputStream
      • getMaxDoublingSize

        public final int getMaxDoublingSize()
        Gets the highest internal buffer size after which if more capacity is needed the buffer will grow in 25% increments rather than 100%.
      • getNewBufferSize

        public int getNewBufferSize​(int curSize,
                                    int minNewSize)
        Gets the number of bytes to which the internal buffer should be resized.
        Parameters:
        curSize - the current number of bytes
        minNewSize - the minimum number of bytes required
        Returns:
        the size to which the internal buffer should be resized
      • size

        public int size()
        Overriden only to avoid unneeded synchronization
