Tim Broberg updated HADOOP-8148:
--------------------------------
Status: Open (was: Patch Available)
> Zero-copy ByteBuffer-based compressor / decompressor API
> --------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HADOOP-8148
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-8148
> Project: Hadoop Common
> Issue Type: New Feature

> Per Todd Lipcon's comment in HDFS-2834, "
> Whenever a native decompression codec is being used, ... we generally have
> the following copies:
> 1) Socket -> DirectByteBuffer (in SocketChannel implementation)
> 2) DirectByteBuffer -> byte[] (in SocketInputStream)
> 3) byte[] -> Native buffer (set up for decompression)
> 4*) decompression to a different native buffer (not really a copy -
> decompression necessarily rewrites)
> 5) native buffer -> byte[]
> with the proposed improvement we can hopefully eliminate #2,#3 for all
> applications, and #2,#3,and #5 for libhdfs.
> "
> The interfaces in the attached patch attempt to address:
> A - Compression and decompression based on ByteBuffers (HDFS-2834)
> B - Zero-copy compression and decompression (HDFS-3051)
> C - Provide the caller a way to know how the max space required to hold
> compressed output.
