      • readCompressedStringArray

        public static String[] readCompressedStringArray​(DataInput in)
                                                  throws IOException
        Write a String array as a Nework Int N, followed by Int N Byte Array Strings. Could be generalised using introspection. Handles null arrays and null values.
        Throws:
        IOException
      • displayByteArray

        public static void displayByteArray​(byte[] record)
        Test Utility Method Display Byte Array.
      • writeVInt

        public static void writeVInt​(DataOutput stream,
                                     int i)
                              throws IOException
        Serializes an integer to a binary stream with zero-compressed encoding. For -120 <= i <= 127, only one byte is used with the actual value. For other values of i, the first byte value indicates whether the integer is positive or negative, and the number of bytes that follow. If the first byte value v is between -121 and -124, the following integer is positive, with number of bytes that follow are -(v+120). If the first byte value v is between -125 and -128, the following integer is negative, with number of bytes that follow are -(v+124). Bytes are stored in the high-non-zero-byte-first order.
        Parameters:
        stream - Binary output stream
        i - Integer to be serialized
        Throws:
        IOException
      • writeVLong

        public static void writeVLong​(DataOutput stream,
                                      long i)
                               throws IOException
        Serializes a long to a binary stream with zero-compressed encoding. For -112 <= i <= 127, only one byte is used with the actual value. For other values of i, the first byte value indicates whether the long is positive or negative, and the number of bytes that follow. If the first byte value v is between -113 and -120, the following long is positive, with number of bytes that follow are -(v+112). If the first byte value v is between -121 and -128, the following long is negative, with number of bytes that follow are -(v+120). Bytes are stored in the high-non-zero-byte-first order.
        Parameters:
        stream - Binary output stream
        i - Long to be serialized
        Throws:
        IOException
      • readVLong

                              throws IOException
        Reads a zero-compressed encoded long from input stream and returns it.
        Parameters:
        stream - Binary input stream
        Returns:

        Throws:
        IOException
      • isNegativeVInt

        public static boolean isNegativeVInt​(byte value)
        Given the first byte of a vint/vlong, determine the sign.
        Parameters:
        value - the first byte
        Returns:
        is the value negative
      • decodeVIntSize

        public static int decodeVIntSize​(byte value)
        Parse the first byte of a vint/vlong to determine the number of bytes.
        Parameters:
        value - the first byte of the vint/vlong
        Returns:
        the total number of bytes (1 to 9)
      • getVIntSize

        public static int getVIntSize​(long i)

                              throws IOException
        Skip len number of bytes in input streamin.
        Parameters:
        in - input stream
        len - number of bytes to skip
        Throws:
        IOException - when skipped less number of bytes
