Method Detail

• getBlockType

  BlockType getBlockType()

  Returns:

  the block type after encoding

• getDataBlockEncoding

  DataBlockEncoding getDataBlockEncoding()

  Returns:

  the DataBlockEncoding encoding used

• postEncoding

  void postEncoding(BlockType blockType)
                    throws IOException

  Do any action that needs to be performed after the encoding. Compression is also included if a non-null compression algorithm is used

  Parameters:

  blockType -

  Throws:

  IOException

• close

  void close()

  Releases the resources used.

• getHFileContext

  HFileContext getHFileContext()

  Returns:

  HFile context information

• setEncodingState

  void setEncodingState(EncodingState state)

  Sets the encoding state.

  Parameters:

  state -

• getEncodingState

  EncodingState getEncodingState()

  Returns:

  the encoding state

• compressAndEncrypt

  Bytes compressAndEncrypt(byte[] data,
                         int offset,
                         int length)
                           throws IOException

  Parameters:

  data - encoded bytes with header

  offset - the offset in encoded data to start at

  length - the number of encoded bytes

  Returns:

  Bytes with header which are ready to write out to disk. This is compressed and encrypted bytes applying the set compression algorithm and encryption. The bytes may be changed. If need a Bytes reference for later use, clone the bytes and use that. Null if the data doesn't need to be compressed and encrypted.

  Throws:

  IOException
