Class SnappyCompressorOutputStream

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.io.Closeable, java.io.Flushable, java.lang.AutoCloseable

    public class SnappyCompressorOutputStream
    extends CompressorOutputStream
    CompressorOutputStream for the raw Snappy format.

    This implementation uses an internal buffer in order to handle the back-references that are at the heart of the LZ77 algorithm. The size of the buffer must be at least as big as the biggest offset used in the compressed stream. The current version of the Snappy algorithm as defined by Google works on 32k blocks and doesn't contain offsets bigger than 32k which is the default block size used by this class.

    The raw Snappy format requires the uncompressed size to be written at the beginning of the stream using a varint representation, i.e. the number of bytes needed to write the information is not known before the uncompressed size is known. We've chosen to make the uncompressedSize a parameter of the constructor in favor of buffering the whole output until the size is known. When using the FramedSnappyCompressorOutputStream this limitation is taken care of by the warpping framing format.
