support for Non Blocking Parsers
--------------------------------
Key: JENA-203
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JENA-203
Project: Jena
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Henry Story
In a Linked Data environment servers have to fetch data off the web. The speed
at which such data
is served can be very slow. So one wants to avoid using up one thread for each
connections (1 thread =
0.5 to 1MB approximately). This is why Java NIO was developed and why servers
such as Netty
are so popular, why http client libraries such as
https://github.com/sonatype/async-http-client are more
and more numerous, and why framewks such as http://akka.io/ which support
relatively lightweight
actors (500 bytes per actor) are growing more viisible.
Unless I am mistaken the only way to parse some content is using methods that
use an
InputStream such as this:
val m = ModelFactory.createDefaultModel()
m.getReader(lang.jenaLang).read(m, in, base.toString)
That read call blocks. Would it be possible to have an API which allows
one to parse a document in chunks as they arrive from the input?
