Create an EventWriterUnsync for writing events to a file. If the file already exists, its contents will be overwritten unless the "overWriteOK" argument is false in which case an exception will be thrown. Unless ..., the option to append these events to an existing file is true, in which case everything is fine. If the file doesn't exist, it will be created. Byte order defaults to big endian if arg is null. File can be split while writing.

The base file name may contain up to 2, C-style integer format specifiers using "d" and "x" (such as %03d, or %x). If more than 2 are found, an exception will be thrown. If no "0" precedes any integer between the "%" and the "d" or "x" of the format specifier, it will be added automatically in order to avoid spaces in the file name. The first specifier will be substituted with the given runNumber value. If the file is being split, the second will be substituted with the split number which starts at 0. If 2 specifiers exist and the file is not being split, no substitutions are made. If no specifier for the splitNumber exists, it is tacked onto the end of the file name after a dot (.).

The base file name may contain characters of the form $(ENV_VAR) which will be substituted with the value of the associated environmental variable or a blank string if none is found.

The base file name may also contain occurrences of the string "%s" which will be substituted with the value of the runType arg or nothing if the runType is null.

Parameters:

baseName - base file name used to generate complete file name (may not be null)

directory - directory in which file is to be placed

runType - name of run type configuration to be used in naming files

runNumber - number of the CODA run, used in naming files

blockSizeMax - the max blocksize to use which must be >= MIN_BLOCK_SIZE and <= MAX_BLOCK_SIZE ints. The size of the block will not be larger than this size unless a single event itself is larger.

blockCountMax - the max number of events (including dictionary) in a single block which must be >= MIN_BLOCK_COUNT and <= MAX_BLOCK_COUNT.

bufferSize - number of bytes to make the internal buffer which will be storing events before writing them to a file. Must be at least 4*blockSizeMax + 32. If not, it is set to that.

byteOrder - the byte order in which to write the file. This is ignored if appending to existing file.

xmlDictionary - dictionary in xml format or null if none.

bitInfo - set of bits to include in first block header.

overWriteOK - if false and the file already exists, an exception is thrown rather than overwriting it.

                  throws EvioException

Create an EventWriterUnsync for writing events to a file. If the file already exists, its contents will be overwritten unless the "overWriteOK" argument is false in which case an exception will be thrown. Unless ..., the option to append these events to an existing file is true, in which case everything is fine. If the file doesn't exist, it will be created. Byte order defaults to big endian if arg is null. File can be split while writing.

The base file name may contain up to 2, C-style integer format specifiers using "d" and "x" (such as %03d, or %x). If more than 2 are found, an exception will be thrown. If no "0" precedes any integer between the "%" and the "d" or "x" of the format specifier, it will be added automatically in order to avoid spaces in the file name. The first specifier will be substituted with the given runNumber value. If the file is being split, the second will be substituted with the split number which starts at 0. If 2 specifiers exist and the file is not being split, no substitutions are made. If no specifier for the splitNumber exists, it is tacked onto the end of the file name after a dot (.).

The base file name may contain characters of the form $(ENV_VAR) which will be substituted with the value of the associated environmental variable or a blank string if none is found.

The base file name may also contain occurrences of the string "%s" which will be substituted with the value of the runType arg or nothing if the runType is null.

Parameters:

baseName - base file name used to generate complete file name (may not be null)

directory - directory in which file is to be placed

runType - name of run type configuration to be used in naming files

runNumber - number of the CODA run, used in naming files

split - if < 1, do not split file, write to only one file of unlimited size. Else this is max size in bytes to make a file before closing it and starting writing another.

blockSizeMax - the max blocksize to use which must be >= MIN_BLOCK_SIZE and <= MAX_BLOCK_SIZE ints. The size of the block will not be larger than this size unless a single event itself is larger.

blockCountMax - the max number of events (including dictionary) in a single block which must be >= MIN_BLOCK_COUNT and <= MAX_BLOCK_COUNT.

bufferSize - number of bytes to make the internal buffer which will be storing events before writing them to a file. Must be at least 4*blockSizeMax + 32. If not, it is set to that.

byteOrder - the byte order in which to write the file. This is ignored if appending to existing file.

xmlDictionary - dictionary in xml format or null if none.

bitInfo - set of bits to include in first block header.

overWriteOK - if false and the file already exists, an exception is thrown rather than overwriting it.

append - if true and the file already exists, all events to be written will be appended to the end of the file.

firstEvent - the first event written into each file (after any dictionary) including all split files; may be null. Useful for adding common, static info into each split file.

Throws:

EvioException - if blockSizeMax or blockCountMax exceed limits; if defined dictionary while appending; if splitting file while appending; if file name arg is null; if file could not be opened, positioned, or written to; if file exists but user requested no over-writing or appending.

                  throws EvioException

Create an EventWriterUnsync for writing events to a file. If the file already exists, its contents will be overwritten unless the "overWriteOK" argument is false in which case an exception will be thrown. Unless ..., the option to append these events to an existing file is true, in which case everything is fine. If the file doesn't exist, it will be created.

The base file name may also contain occurrences of the string "%s" which will be substituted with the value of the runType arg or nothing if the runType is null.

If multiple streams of data, each writing a file, end up with the same file name, they can be differentiated by a stream id number. If the id is > 0, the string, ".strm" is appended to the very end of the file followed by the id number (e.g. filename.strm1). This is done after the run type, run number, split numbers, and env vars have been inserted into the file name.

Parameters:

streamId - streamId number (100 > id > -1) for file name

Throws:

EvioException - if blockSizeMax or blockCountMax exceed limits; if defined dictionary or first event while appending; if splitting file while appending; if file name arg is null; if file could not be opened, positioned, or written to; if file exists but user requested no over-writing or appending.

Method Detail

isDiskFull

public boolean isDiskFull()

If writing file, is the partition it resides on full? Not full, in this context, means there's enough space to write a full split file + a full record + an extra 10MB as a safety factor.

Returns:

true if the partition the file resides on is full, else false.

getBytesWrittenToBuffer

public long getBytesWrittenToBuffer()

If writing to a buffer, get the number of bytes written to it including the ending header.

Returns:

number of bytes written to buffer

setBuffer

public void setBuffer(java.nio.ByteBuffer buf,
                      java.util.BitSet bitInfo,
                      int blockNumber)
               throws EvioException

Set the buffer being written into (initially set in constructor). This method allows the user to avoid having to create a new EventWriterUnsync each time a bank needs to be written to a different buffer. This does nothing if writing to a file. Not for use if appending.

Do not use this method unless you know what you are doing.

Parameters:

buf - the buffer to write to.

bitInfo - set of bits to include in first block header.

blockNumber - number at which to start block number counting.

Throws:

EvioException - if this object was not closed prior to resetting the buffer, buffer arg is null, or in appending mode.

setBuffer

public void setBuffer(java.nio.ByteBuffer buf)
               throws EvioException

Set the buffer being written into (initially set in constructor). This method allows the user to avoid having to create a new EventWriterUnsync each time a bank needs to be written to a different buffer. This does nothing if writing to a file. Not for use if appending.

Do not use this method unless you know what you are doing.

Parameters:

buf - the buffer to write to.

Throws:

EvioException - if this object was not closed prior to resetting the buffer, buffer arg is null, or in appending mode.

getByteBuffer

public java.nio.ByteBuffer getByteBuffer()

If writing to a file, return null. If writing to a buffer, get a duplicate of the user-given buffer being written into. The buffer's position will be 0 and its limit will be the size of the valid data. Basically, it's ready to be read from. The returned buffer shares data with the original buffer but has separate limit, position, and mark. Useful if trying to send buffer over the network. Do not call this while simultaneously calling close, flush, setFirstEvent, or writeEvent.

Returns:

buffer being written into, made ready for reading; null if writing to file

toFile

public boolean toFile()

Is this object writing to file?

Returns:

true if writing to file, else false.

isClosed

public boolean isClosed()

Has close() been called (without reopening by calling setBuffer(ByteBuffer)) ?

Returns:

true if this object closed, else false.

getCurrentFilename

public java.lang.String getCurrentFilename()

Get the name of the current file being written to. Returns null if no file.

Returns:

the name of the current file being written to.

getCurrentFilePath

public java.lang.String getCurrentFilePath()

Get the full name or path of the current file being written to. Returns null if no file.

Returns:

the full name or path of the current file being written to.

getSplitNumber

public int getSplitNumber()

Get the current split count which is the number of files created by this object. Warning, this value may be changing.

Returns:

the current split count which is the number of files created by this object.

getSplitCount

public int getSplitCount()

Get the number of split files produced by this writer.

Returns:

number of split files produced by this writer.

getBlockNumber

public int getBlockNumber()

Get the current block number. Warning, this value may be changing.

Returns:

the current block number.

getEventsWritten

public int getEventsWritten()

Get the number of events written to a file/buffer. Remember that a particular event may not yet be flushed to the file/buffer. If the file being written to is split, the returned value refers to all split files taken together.

Returns:

number of events written to a file/buffer.

getByteOrder

public java.nio.ByteOrder getByteOrder()

Get the byte order of the buffer/file being written into.

Returns:

byte order of the buffer/file being written into.

setStartingBlockNumber

public void setStartingBlockNumber(int startingBlockNumber)

Set the number with which to start block numbers. This method does nothing if events have already been written.

Parameters:

startingBlockNumber - the number with which to start block numbers.

setFirstEvent

public void setFirstEvent(EvioNode node)
                   throws EvioException,
                          java.io.IOException

Set an event which will be written to the file/buffer as well as to all split files. It's called the "first event" as it will be the first event written to each split file (after the dictionary) if this method is called early enough or the first event was defined in the constructor.

Since this method is always called after the constructor, the common block will have already been written with a dictionary and firstEvent if either was defined in the constructor. The event given here will be written immediately somewhere in the body of the file, with the forth-coming split files having that event in the first block along with any dictionary.

This means that if the firstEvent is given in the constructor, then the caller may end up with 2 copies of it in a single file (if this method is called once). It's also possible to get 2 copies in a file if this method is called immediately prior to the file splitting.

By its nature this method is not useful for writing to a buffer since it is never split and the event can be written to it as any other.

Do not call this while simultaneously calling close, flush, writeEvent, or getByteBuffer.

Parameters:

node - node representing event to be placed first in each file written including all splits. If null, no more first events are written to any files.

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if error writing file

EvioException - if event is opposite byte order of internal buffer; if event is bad format; if close() already called; if file could not be opened for writing; if file exists but user requested no over-writing; if no room when writing to user-given buffer;

setFirstEvent

public void setFirstEvent(java.nio.ByteBuffer buffer)
                   throws EvioException,
                          java.io.IOException

Set an event which will be written to the file/buffer as well as to all split files. It's called the "first event" as it will be the first event written to each split file (after the dictionary) if this method is called early enough or the first event was defined in the constructor.

Since this method is always called after the constructor, the common block will have already been written with a dictionary and firstEvent if either was defined in the constructor. The event given here will be written immediately somewhere in the body of the file, with the forth-coming split files having that event in the first block along with any dictionary.

This means that if the firstEvent is given in the constructor, then the caller may end up with 2 copies of it in a single file (if this method is called once). It's also possible to get 2 copies in a file if this method is called immediately prior to the file splitting.

By its nature this method is not useful for writing to a buffer since it is never split and the event can be written to it as any other.

The method writeEvent(org.jlab.coda.jevio.EvioNode, boolean) calls writeCommonBlock() which, in turn, only gets called when synchronized. So synchronizing this method will make sure firstEvent only gets set while nothing is being written.

Parameters:

buffer - buffer containing event to be placed first in each file written including all splits. If null, no more first events are written to any files.

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if error writing file

EvioException - if event is opposite byte order of internal buffer; if event is bad format; if close() already called; if file could not be opened for writing; if file exists but user requested no over-writing; if no room when writing to user-given buffer;

setFirstEvent

public void setFirstEvent(EvioBank bank)
                   throws EvioException,
                          java.io.IOException

Set an event which will be written to the file/buffer as well as to all split files. It's called the "first event" as it will be the first event written to each split file (after the dictionary) if this method is called early enough or the first event was defined in the constructor.

Since this method is always called after the constructor, the common block will have already been written with a dictionary and firstEvent if either was defined in the constructor. The event given here will be written immediately somewhere in the body of the file, with the forth-coming split files having that event in the first block along with any dictionary.

This means that if the firstEvent is given in the constructor, then the caller may end up with 2 copies of it in a single file (if this method is called once). It's also possible to get 2 copies in a file if this method is called immediately prior to the file splitting.

By its nature this method is not useful for writing to a buffer since it is never split and the event can be written to it as any other.

Do not call this while simultaneously calling close, flush, writeEvent, or getByteBuffer.

Parameters:

bank - event to be placed first in each file written including all splits. If null, no more first events are written to any files.

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if error writing file

EvioException - if event is opposite byte order of internal buffer; if event is bad format; if close() already called; if file could not be opened for writing; if file exists but user requested no over-writing; if no room when writing to user-given buffer;

flush

public void flush()

This method flushes any remaining internally buffered data to file. Calling close() automatically does this so it isn't necessary to call before closing. This method should only be used when writing events at such a low rate that it takes an inordinate amount of time for internally buffered data to be written to the file.

Calling this can kill performance. May not call this when simultaneously calling writeEvent, close, setFirstEvent, or getByteBuffer.

close

public void close()

This method flushes any remaining data to file and disables this object. May not call this when simultaneously calling writeEvent, flush, setFirstEvent, or getByteBuffer.

hasRoom

public boolean hasRoom(int bytes)

Is there room to write this many bytes to an output buffer as a single event? Will always return true when writing to a file.

Parameters:

bytes - number of bytes to write

Returns:

true if there still room in the output buffer, else false.

writeEvent

public void writeEvent(EvioNode node,
                       boolean force)
                throws EvioException,
                       java.io.IOException

Write an event (bank) to the buffer in evio version 4 format. If the internal buffer is full, it will be flushed to the file if writing to a file. Otherwise an exception will be thrown. Do not call this while simultaneously calling close, flush, setFirstEvent, or getByteBuffer.

Parameters:

node - object representing the event to write in buffer form

force - if writing to disk, force it to write event to the disk.

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if error writing file

EvioException - if event is opposite byte order of internal buffer; if close() already called; if bad eventBuffer format; if file could not be opened for writing; if file exists but user requested no over-writing; if no room when writing to user-given buffer;

writeEvent

public void writeEvent(EvioNode node,
                       boolean force,
                       boolean duplicate)
                throws EvioException,
                       java.io.IOException

Write an event (bank) to the buffer in evio version 4 format. If the internal buffer is full, it will be flushed to the file if writing to a file. Otherwise an exception will be thrown. Do not call this while simultaneously calling close, flush, setFirstEvent, or getByteBuffer.

Parameters:

node - object representing the event to write in buffer form

force - if writing to disk, force it to write event to the disk.

duplicate - if true, duplicate node's buffer so its position and limit can be changed without issue.

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if error writing file

EvioException - if event is opposite byte order of internal buffer; if close() already called; if bad eventBuffer format; if file could not be opened for writing; if file exists but user requested no over-writing; if no room when writing to user-given buffer; if null node arg;

writeEventToFile

public boolean writeEventToFile(EvioNode node,
                                boolean force,
                                boolean duplicate)
                         throws EvioException,
                                java.io.IOException

Write an event (bank) into a record and eventually to a file in evio version 4 format. If the internal buffer is full, it will be flushed to the file. Otherwise an exception will be thrown.

If splitting files, this method returns false if disk partition is too full to write the complete, next split file. If force arg is true, write anyway. DO NOT mix calling this method with calling writeEvent(EvioNode, boolean, boolean) (or the methods which call it). Results are unpredictable as it messes up the logic used to quit writing to full disk. The buffer must contain only the event's data (event header and event data) and must not be in complete evio file format. Do not call this while simultaneously calling close, flush, setFirstEvent, or getByteBuffer.

Be warned that injudicious use of a true 2nd arg, the force flag, will kill performance when writing to a file. A true 3rd arg can be used when the backing buffer of the node is accessed by multiple threads simultaneously. This allows that buffer's limit and position to be changed without interfering with the other threads.

Parameters:

node - object representing the event to write in buffer form

force - if writing to disk, force it to write event to the disk.

duplicate - if true, duplicate node's buffer so its position and limit can be changed without issue.

Returns:

true if event was added to record. If splitting files, false if disk partition too full to write the complete, next split file. False if interrupted. If force arg is true, write anyway.

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if error writing file

EvioException - if event is opposite byte order of internal buffer; if close() already called; if bad eventBuffer format; if file could not be opened for writing; if file exists but user requested no over-writing; if null node arg;

writeEvent

public void writeEvent(java.nio.ByteBuffer eventBuffer)
                throws EvioException,
                       java.io.IOException

Write an event (bank) to the buffer in evio version 4 format. The given event buffer must contain only the event's data (event header and event data) and must not be in complete evio file format. If the internal buffer is full, it will be flushed to the file if writing to a file. Otherwise an exception will be thrown. Do not call this while simultaneously calling close, flush, setFirstEvent, or getByteBuffer.

Parameters:

eventBuffer - the event (bank) to write in buffer form

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if error writing file

EvioException - if event is opposite byte order of internal buffer; if close() already called; if bad eventBuffer format; if file could not be opened for writing; if file exists but user requested no over-writing; if no room when writing to user-given buffer;

writeEvent

public void writeEvent(EvioBank bank)
                throws EvioException,
                       java.io.IOException

Write an event (bank) to a buffer containing evio version 4 format blocks. Each block has an integral number of events. There are limits to the number of events in each block and the total size of each block. If writing to a file, each full buffer is written - one at a time - and may contain multiple blocks. Dictionary is never written with this method. Do not call this while simultaneously calling close, flush, setFirstEvent, or getByteBuffer.

Parameters:

bank - the bank to write.

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if error writing file

EvioException - if close() already called; if file could not be opened for writing; if file exists but user requested no over-writing; if no room when writing to user-given buffer;

writeEvent

public void writeEvent(java.nio.ByteBuffer bankBuffer,
                       boolean force)
                throws EvioException,
                       java.io.IOException

Write an event (bank) to the buffer in evio version 4 format. The given event buffer must contain only the event's data (event header and event data) and must not be in complete evio file format. If the internal buffer is full, it will be flushed to the file if writing to a file. Otherwise an exception will be thrown. Do not call this while simultaneously calling close, flush, setFirstEvent, or getByteBuffer.

Be warned that injudicious use of the 2nd arg, the force flag, will kill performance.

Parameters:

bankBuffer - the bank (as a ByteBuffer object) to write.

force - if writing to disk, force it to write event to the disk.

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if error writing file

EvioException - if event is opposite byte order of internal buffer; if close() already called; if bad eventBuffer format; if file could not be opened for writing; if file exists but user requested no over-writing; if no room when writing to user-given buffer;

writeEvent

public void writeEvent(EvioBank bank,
                       boolean force)
                throws EvioException,
                       java.io.IOException

Write an event (bank) to a buffer containing evio version 4 format blocks. Each block has an integral number of events. There are limits to the number of events in each block and the total size of each block. If writing to a file, each full buffer is written - one at a time - and may contain multiple blocks. Dictionary is never written with this method. Do not call this while simultaneously calling close, flush, setFirstEvent, or getByteBuffer.

Be warned that injudicious use of the 2nd arg, the force flag, will kill performance.

Parameters:

bank - the bank to write.

force - if writing to disk, force it to write event to the disk.

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if error writing file

EvioException - if close() already called; if file could not be opened for writing; if file exists but user requested no over-writing; if no room when writing to user-given buffer;

writeEventToFile

public boolean writeEventToFile(EvioBank bank,
                                java.nio.ByteBuffer bankBuffer,
                                boolean force)
                         throws EvioException,
                                java.io.IOException

Write an event (bank) into a block and eventually to a file in evio version 4 format. This method will not work with this object setup to write into a buffer. If splitting files, this method returns false if disk partition is too full to write the complete, next split file. If force arg is true, write anyway. DO NOT mix calling this method with calling writeEvent(EvioBank, ByteBuffer, boolean) (or the methods which call it). Results are unpredictable as it messes up the logic used to quit writing to full disk.

The event to be written may be in one of two forms. The first is as an EvioBank object and the second is as a ByteBuffer containing only the event's data (event header and event data) and must not be in complete evio file format. The first non-null of the bank arguments will be written. Do not call this while simultaneously calling close, flush, setFirstEvent, or getByteBuffer.

Be warned that injudicious use of a true 2nd arg, the force flag, will kill performance.

This method is not used to write the dictionary or the first event (common block). That is only done with the method writeCommonBlock().

Parameters:

bank - the bank (as an EvioBank object) to write.

bankBuffer - the bank (as a ByteBuffer object) to write.

force - if writing to disk, force it to write event to the disk.

Returns:

true if event was added to block. If splitting files, false if disk partition too full to write the complete, next split file. False if interrupted. If force arg is true, write anyway.

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if error writing file

EvioException - if event is opposite byte order of internal buffer; if bad bankBuffer format; if close() already called; if not writing to file; if file could not be opened for writing; if file exists but user requested no over-writing;
