Synopsis

BucketBuffered is similar to class BucketCache and is meant to be used by the storage managers of the Table System.

It gives access to buckets in a file by means of memory-buffered files. However, its functionality is a subset of BucketCache and is only meant to be used by the Tiled Storage Managers. If The Standard and Incremental Storage Manager also want to use it, functions like extend needs to be added to this class. Also support for a free bucket list needs to be added.

Motivation

Use of BucketCache is sub-optimal when having large buckets and more or less random IO. Memory-buffering behaves much better.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

casacore::BucketBuffered::BucketBuffered	(	BucketFile *	file,
		Int64	startOffset,
		uInt	bucketSize,
		uInt	nrOfBuckets
	)

Create the object for (part of) a file.

The file part buffered into memory starts at startOffset. Its length is bucketSize*nrOfBuckets bytes. If the file is smaller, the remainder is indicated as an extension similarly to the behaviour of function extend.

Member Function Documentation

virtual void casacore::BucketBuffered::doExtend

(

uInt

nrBucket

)

[private, virtual]

Extend the file with the given number of buckets.

Implements casacore::BucketBase.

virtual void casacore::BucketBuffered::doFlush

(

)

[private, virtual]

Flush the file.

Implements casacore::BucketBase.

virtual void casacore::BucketBuffered::doResync

(

)

[private, virtual]

Do the actual resync-ing.

Implements casacore::BucketBase.

char* casacore::BucketBuffered::getBuffer

References itsBuffer.

virtual void casacore::BucketBuffered::initializeBuckets

(

uInt

bucketNr

)

[private, virtual]

Initialize the bucket buffer.

The uninitialized buckets before this bucket are also initialized.

Implements casacore::BucketBase.

BucketBuffered& casacore::BucketBuffered::operator=

[private]

Assignment is not possible.

Reimplemented from casacore::BucketBase.

void casacore::BucketBuffered::read	(	uInt	bucketNr,
		uInt	bucketOffset,
		uInt	nbytes,
		uInt	bufferOffset = 0
	)

Read the given part into the internal buffer at the given offset.

void casacore::BucketBuffered::write	(	uInt	bucketNr,
		uInt	bucketOffset,
		uInt	nbytes
	)

Write the given part from the internal buffer.
