> Random access on Tar archive
> ----------------------------
>
> Key: COMPRESS-540
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COMPRESS-540
> Project: Commons Compress
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Robin Schimpf
> Priority: Major
> Time Spent: 10h 40m
> Remaining Estimate: 0h
>
> The TarArchiveInputStream only provides sequential access. 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
