Your performance test could be incorporated in commons-compress with JMH too, disabled by default. This way in case developers need to work on these classes, they may re-run the test to check for regressions. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.

If only a small > amount of files from the archive is needed large amount of data in the input > stream needs to be skipped. > Therefore I was working on a implementation to provide random access to > TarFiles equal to the ZipFile api. The basic idea behind the implementation > is the following > * Random access is backed by a SeekableByteChannel > * Read all headers of the tar file and save the place to the data of every > header > * User can request an input stream for any entry in the archive multiple > times -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
