Manoj Govindassamy updated HDFS-12653: -------------------------------------- Summary: Implement toArray() and subArray() for ReadOnlyList (was: Implement toArray() and toSubArray() for ReadOnlyList) > Implement toArray() and subArray() for ReadOnlyList > --------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HDFS-12653 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-12653 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Manoj Govindassamy > Assignee: Manoj Govindassamy > > {{ReadOnlyList}} today gives an unmodifiable view of the backing List. This > list supports following Util methods for easy construction of read only views > of any given list. > {noformat} > public static <E> ReadOnlyList<E> asReadOnlyList(final List<E> list) > public static <E> List<E> asList(final ReadOnlyList<E> list) > {noformat} > {{asList}} above additionally overrides {{Object[] toArray()}} of the > {{java.util.List}} interface. Unlike the {{java.util.List}}, the above one > returns an array of Objects referring to the backing list and avoid any > copying of objects. Given that we have many usages of read only lists, > 1. Lets have a light-weight / shared-view {{toArray()}} implementation for > {{ReadOnlyList}} as well. > 2. Additionally, similar to {{java.util.List#subList(fromIndex, toIndex)}}, > lets have {{ReadOnlyList#subArray(fromIndex, toIndex)}} -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: hdfs-issues-unsubscr...@hadoop.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: hdfs-issues-h...@hadoop.apache.org
