public LZ4Compressor()

Method Details

maxCompressedLength

public final int maxCompressedLength(int length)

Returns the maximum compressed length for an input of size length.

Parameters:

length - the input size in bytes

Returns:

the maximum compressed length in bytes

compress

public abstract int compress(byte[] src,
 int srcOff,
 int srcLen,
 byte[] dest,
 int destOff,
 int maxDestLen)

Compresses src[srcOff:srcOff+srcLen] into dest[destOff:destOff+maxDestLen] and returns the compressed length.

This method will throw a LZ4Exception if this compressor is unable to compress the input into less than maxDestLen bytes. To prevent this exception to be thrown, you should make sure that maxDestLen >= maxCompressedLength(srcLen).

Parameters:

src - the source data

srcOff - the start offset in src

srcLen - the number of bytes to compress

dest - the destination buffer

destOff - the start offset in dest

maxDestLen - the maximum number of bytes to write in dest

Returns:

the compressed size

Throws:

LZ4Exception - if maxDestLen is too small

compress

public abstract int compress(ByteBuffer src,
 int srcOff,
 int srcLen,
 ByteBuffer dest,
 int destOff,
 int maxDestLen)

Compresses src[srcOff:srcOff+srcLen] into dest[destOff:destOff+maxDestLen] and returns the compressed length.

This method will throw a LZ4Exception if this compressor is unable to compress the input into less than maxDestLen bytes. To prevent this exception to be thrown, you should make sure that maxDestLen >= maxCompressedLength(srcLen).

ByteBuffer positions remain unchanged.

Parameters:

src - the source data

srcOff - the start offset in src

srcLen - the number of bytes to compress

dest - the destination buffer

destOff - the start offset in dest

maxDestLen - the maximum number of bytes to write in dest

Returns:

the compressed size

Throws:

LZ4Exception - if maxDestLen is too small

compress

public final int compress(byte[] src,
 int srcOff,
 int srcLen,
 byte[] dest,
 int destOff)

Convenience method, equivalent to calling compress(src, srcOff, srcLen, dest, destOff, dest.length - destOff).

Parameters:

src - the source data

srcOff - the start offset in src

srcLen - the number of bytes to compress

dest - the destination buffer

destOff - the start offset in dest

Returns:

the compressed size

Throws:

LZ4Exception - if dest is too small

compress

public final int compress(byte[] src,
 byte[] dest)

Convenience method, equivalent to calling compress(src, 0, src.length, dest, 0).

Parameters:

src - the source data

dest - the destination buffer

Returns:

the compressed size

Throws:

LZ4Exception - if dest is too small

compress

public final byte[] compress(byte[] src,
 int srcOff,
 int srcLen)

Convenience method which returns src[srcOff:srcOff+srcLen] compressed.

Warning: this method has an important overhead due to the fact that it needs to allocate a buffer to compress into, and then needs to resize this buffer to the actual compressed length.

Here is how this method is implemented:

 final int maxCompressedLength = maxCompressedLength(srcLen);
 final byte[] compressed = new byte[maxCompressedLength];
 final int compressedLength = compress(src, srcOff, srcLen, compressed, 0);
 return Arrays.copyOf(compressed, compressedLength);
 

Parameters:

src - the source data

srcOff - the start offset in src

srcLen - the number of bytes to compress

Returns:

the compressed data

compress

public final byte[] compress(byte[] src)

Convenience method, equivalent to calling compress(src, 0, src.length).

Parameters:

src - the source data

Returns:

the compressed data

compress

public final void compress(ByteBuffer src,
 ByteBuffer dest)

Compresses src into dest. Calling this method will update the positions of both ByteBuffers.

Parameters:

src - the source data

dest - the destination buffer

Throws:

LZ4Exception - if dest is too small

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Object
