Direct Known Subclasses:

DGapIntDecoder, EightFlagsIntDecoder, FourFlagsIntDecoder, SimpleIntDecoder, VInt8IntDecoder

public abstract class IntDecoder
extends Object

Decodes integers from a set InputStream. For re-usability, the decoder's input stream can be set by (reInit(InputStream)). By design, Decoders are NOT thread-safe.

WARNING: This API is experimental and might change in incompatible ways in the next release.

Field Summary

static long	EOS A special long value which is used to indicate end-of-stream has reached.
protected InputStream	in Input stream from which the encoded bytes are read

Constructor Summary

IntDecoder()

Method Summary

abstract long	decode() Decodes data received from the input stream, and returns one decoded integer.
void	reInit(InputStream in) Sets the input stream from which the encoded data is read.
