Dawid Weiss commented on COMPRESS-320:
--------------------------------------
Oh, I didn't take it the wrong way, no worries at all. I just think it's not
"resolvable" and I tried to explain why. It's much like the 7z format not being
suitable for streaming decompression (because the metadata is kept at the end
of the stream, which kind of defeats the whole idea) -- this is a "won't fix"
resolution for me.

> Key: COMPRESS-320
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COMPRESS-320
> Project: Commons Compress
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Archivers
> Reporter: Bill Chen
> Priority: Minor
>
> I guess these must be one of the most wanted features and it should be very
> simple to implement (as I have done one in 126 lines).
> Most (if not all) of the infrastructure is already there, including an index
> of all files. And, with some careful coding, the capability to read any of
> them in any order concurrently was not difficult to add.
> My code uses loads of lambda and reflection stuff, but I am happy to
> contribute a clean Java 5/6 implementation.
