Package me.lemire.longcompression

Class LongBinaryPacking

java.lang.Object

me.lemire.longcompression.LongBinaryPacking

All Implemented Interfaces:

LongCODEC, SkippableLongCODEC

public final class LongBinaryPacking
extends Object
implements LongCODEC, SkippableLongCODEC

Scheme based on a commonly used idea: can be extremely fast. It encodes integers in blocks of 64 longs. For arrays containing an arbitrary number of longs, you should use it in conjunction with another CODEC:

LongCODEC ic = 
  new Composition(new LongBinaryPacking(), new LongVariableByte()).

Note that this does not use differential coding: if you are working on sorted lists, you must compute the deltas separately.

Method Details

compress

public void compress(long[] in,
 IntWrapper inpos,
 int inlength,
 long[] out,
 IntWrapper outpos)

Description copied from interface: LongCODEC

Compress data from an array to another array. Both inpos and outpos are modified to represent how much data was read and written to. If 12 longs (inlength = 12) are compressed to 3 longs, then inpos will be incremented by 12 while outpos will be incremented by 3. We use IntWrapper to pass the values by reference.

Specified by:

compress in interface LongCODEC

Parameters:

in - input array

inpos - where to start reading in the array

inlength - how many longs to compress

out - output array

outpos - where to write in the output array

headlessCompress

public void headlessCompress(long[] in,
 IntWrapper inpos,
 int inlength,
 long[] out,
 IntWrapper outpos)

Description copied from interface: SkippableLongCODEC

Compress data from an array to another array. Both inpos and outpos are modified to represent how much data was read and written to. If 12 longs (inlength = 12) are compressed to 3 longs, then inpos will be incremented by 12 while outpos will be incremented by 3. We use IntWrapper to pass the values by reference.

Specified by:

headlessCompress in interface SkippableLongCODEC

Parameters:

in - input array

inpos - where to start reading in the array

inlength - how many longs to compress

out - output array

outpos - where to write in the output array

uncompress

public void uncompress(long[] in,
 IntWrapper inpos,
 int inlength,
 long[] out,
 IntWrapper outpos)

Description copied from interface: LongCODEC

Uncompress data from an array to another array. Both inpos and outpos parameters are modified to indicate new positions after read/write.

Specified by:

uncompress in interface LongCODEC

Parameters:

in - array containing data in compressed form

inpos - where to start reading in the array

inlength - length of the compressed data (ignored by some schemes)

out - array where to write the uncompressed output

outpos - where to start writing the uncompressed output in out

headlessUncompress

public void headlessUncompress(long[] in,
 IntWrapper inpos,
 int inlength,
 long[] out,
 IntWrapper outpos,
 int num)

Description copied from interface: SkippableLongCODEC

Uncompress data from an array to another array. Both inpos and outpos parameters are modified to indicate new positions after read/write.

Specified by:

headlessUncompress in interface SkippableLongCODEC

Parameters:

in - array containing data in compressed form

inpos - where to start reading in the array

inlength - length of the compressed data (ignored by some schemes)

out - array where to write the uncompressed output

outpos - where to start writing the uncompressed output in out

num - number of longs we want to decode, the actual number of longs decoded can be less

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Object
