Class PackedInt32s

Simplistic compression for array of unsigned long values. Each value is >= 0 and <= a specified maximum value. The values are stored as packed ints, with each value consuming a fixed number of bits.

FastestFormatAndBits(Int32, Int32, Single)

Try to find the PackedInt32s.Format and number of bits per value that would restore from disk the fastest reader whose overhead is less than acceptableOverheadRatio.

The acceptableOverheadRatio parameter makes sense for random-access PackedInt32s.Readers. In case you only plan to perform sequential access on this stream later on, you should probably use COMPACT.

If you don't know how many values you are going to write, use valueCount = -1.

Declaration

public static PackedInt32s.FormatAndBits FastestFormatAndBits(int valueCount, int bitsPerValue, float acceptableOverheadRatio)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.Int32	valueCount
System.Int32	bitsPerValue
System.Single	acceptableOverheadRatio

Returns

Type	Description
PackedInt32s.FormatAndBits

GetWriter(DataOutput, Int32, Int32, Single)

Create a packed integer array writer for the given output, format, value count, and number of bits per value.

The resulting stream will be long-aligned. this means that depending on the format which is used under the hoods, up to 63 bits will be wasted. An easy way to make sure that no space is lost is to always use a valueCount that is a multiple of 64.

This method writes metadata to the stream, so that the resulting stream is sufficient to restore a PackedInt32s.Reader from it. You don't need to track valueCount or bitsPerValue by yourself. In case this is a problem, you should probably look at GetWriterNoHeader(DataOutput, PackedInt32s.Format, Int32, Int32, Int32).

The acceptableOverheadRatio parameter controls how readers that will be restored from this stream trade space for speed by selecting a faster but potentially less memory-efficient implementation. An acceptableOverheadRatio of COMPACT will make sure that the most memory-efficient implementation is selected whereas FASTEST will make sure that the fastest implementation is selected. In case you are only interested in reading this stream sequentially later on, you should probably use COMPACT.

Declaration

public static PackedInt32s.Writer GetWriter(DataOutput out, int valueCount, int bitsPerValue, float acceptableOverheadRatio)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
DataOutput	out	The data output.
System.Int32	valueCount	The number of values.
System.Int32	bitsPerValue	The number of bits per value.
System.Single	acceptableOverheadRatio	An acceptable overhead ratio per value.

Returns

Type	Description
PackedInt32s.Writer	A PackedInt32s.Writer.

Exceptions

Type	Condition
System.IO.IOException	If there is a low-level I/O error.

GetWriterNoHeader(DataOutput, PackedInt32s.Format, Int32, Int32, Int32)

Expert: Create a packed integer array writer for the given output, format, value count, and number of bits per value.

The resulting stream will be long-aligned. this means that depending on the format which is used, up to 63 bits will be wasted. An easy way to make sure that no space is lost is to always use a valueCount that is a multiple of 64.

This method does not write any metadata to the stream, meaning that it is your responsibility to store it somewhere else in order to be able to recover data from the stream later on:

• format (using Id),
• valueCount,
• bitsPerValue,
• VERSION_CURRENT.

It is possible to start writing values without knowing how many of them you are actually going to write. To do this, just pass -1 as valueCount. On the other hand, for any positive value of valueCount, the returned writer will make sure that you don't write more values than expected and pad the end of stream with zeros in case you have written less than valueCount when calling Finish().

The mem parameter lets you control how much memory can be used to buffer changes in memory before flushing to disk. High values of mem are likely to improve throughput. On the other hand, if speed is not that important to you, a value of 0 will use as little memory as possible and should already offer reasonable throughput.
