Modifier and Type | Method and Description |
---|---|
void |
close()
Finishes writing all data entries.
|
boolean |
createDirectory(DataEntry dataEntry)
Creates a directory.
|
java.io.OutputStream |

boolean |
sameOutputStream(DataEntry dataEntry1,
DataEntry dataEntry2)

boolean createDirectory(DataEntry dataEntry) throws java.io.IOException
dataEntry
- the data entry for which the directory is to be created.java.io.IOException
boolean sameOutputStream(DataEntry dataEntry1, DataEntry dataEntry2) throws java.io.IOException
dataEntry1
- the first data entry.dataEntry2
- the second data entry.java.io.IOException
java.io.OutputStream createOutputStream(DataEntry dataEntry) throws java.io.IOException
dataEntry
- the data entry for which the output stream is to be created.null
to indicate that the data entry
should not be written.java.io.IOException
void close() throws java.io.IOException
Implementations typically create graphs of writers that can split and merge again, possibly even with cycles.
For splits and merges, implementations need to be idempotent; once closed, subsequent
attempts to close a writer have no effect. If needed, the wrapper NonClosingDataEntryWriter
can avoid closing a branch prematurely.
For cycles, implementations must perform any custom behavior, then delegate close()
invocations, and only finally clean up. It is possible that delegates call createOutputStream(DataEntry)
while close()
is in progress.
