Interfaces

class FileInterface

Subclassed by arrow::io::InputStream, arrow::io::OutputStream

Public Functions

virtual Status Close() = 0

Close the stream cleanly.

For writable streams, this will attempt to flush any pending data before releasing the underlying resource.

After Close() is called, closed() returns true and the stream is not available for further operations.

virtual Future CloseAsync()

Close the stream asynchronously.

By default, this will just submit the synchronous Close() to the default I/O thread pool. Subclasses may implement this in a more efficient manner.

virtual Status Abort()

Close the stream abruptly.

This method does not guarantee that any pending data is flushed. It merely releases any underlying resource used by the stream for its operation.

After Abort() is called, closed() returns true and the stream is not available for further operations.

virtual Result<int64_t> Tell() const = 0

Return the position in this stream.

virtual bool closed() const = 0

Return whether the stream is closed.

class Readable

Subclassed by arrow::io::InputStream

Public Functions

virtual Result<int64_t> Read(int64_t nbytes, void *out) = 0

Read data from current file position.

Read at most nbytes from the current file position into out. The number of bytes read is returned.

virtual Result<std::shared_ptr<Buffer>> Read(int64_t nbytes) = 0

Read data from current file position.

Read at most nbytes from the current file position. Less bytes may be read if EOF is reached. This method updates the current file position.

In some cases (e.g. a memory-mapped file), this method may avoid a memory copy.

virtual const IOContext &io_context() const

EXPERIMENTAL: The IOContext associated with this file.

By default, this is the same as default_io_context(), but it may be overriden by subclasses.

class Seekable

Subclassed by arrow::io::RandomAccessFile, arrow::io::WritableFile

class Writable

Subclassed by arrow::io::OutputStream

Public Functions

virtual Status Write(const void *data, int64_t nbytes) = 0

Write the given data to the stream.

This method always processes the bytes in full. Depending on the semantics of the stream, the data may be written out immediately, held in a buffer, or written asynchronously. In the case where the stream buffers the data, it will be copied. To avoid potentially large copies, use the Write variant that takes an owned Buffer.

virtual Status Write(const std::shared_ptr<Buffer> &data)

Write the given data to the stream.

Since the Buffer owns its memory, this method can avoid a copy if buffering is required. See Write(const void*, int64_t) for details.

virtual Status Flush()

Flush buffered bytes, if any.

class InputStream : public virtual arrow::io::FileInterface, public virtual arrow::io::Readable, public std::enable_shared_from_this<InputStream>

nbytes – [in] the number to move forward

Returns:

Status

virtual Result<util::string_view> Peek(int64_t nbytes)

Return zero-copy string_view to upcoming bytes.

Do not modify the stream position. The view becomes invalid after any operation on the stream. May trigger buffering if the requested size is larger than the number of buffered bytes.

May return NotImplemented on streams that don’t support it.

Parameters:

nbytes – [in] the maximum number of bytes to see

virtual bool supports_zero_copy() const

Return true if InputStream is capable of zero copy Buffer reads.

Zero copy reads imply the use of Buffer-returning Read() overloads.

virtual Result<std::shared_ptr<const KeyValueMetadata>> ReadMetadata()

Read and return stream metadata.

If the stream implementation doesn’t support metadata, empty metadata is returned. Note that it is allowed to return a null pointer rather than an allocated empty metadata.

virtual Future<std::shared_ptr<const KeyValueMetadata>> ReadMetadataAsync(const IOContext &io_context)

Read stream metadata asynchronously.

class RandomAccessFile : public arrow::io::InputStream, public arrow::io::Seekable

Subclassed by arrow::io::HdfsReadableFile, arrow::io::internal::RandomAccessFileConcurrencyWrapper< Derived >, arrow::io::ReadWriteFileInterface, arrow::py::PyReadableFile, arrow::io::internal::RandomAccessFileConcurrencyWrapper< BufferReader >, arrow::io::internal::RandomAccessFileConcurrencyWrapper< CudaBufferReader >, arrow::io::internal::RandomAccessFileConcurrencyWrapper< ReadableFile >, arrow::io::SlowInputStreamBase< RandomAccessFile >

Public Functions

~RandomAccessFile() override

Necessary because we hold a std::unique_ptr.

virtual Result<int64_t> GetSize() = 0

Return the total file size in bytes.

This method does not read or move the current file position, so is safe to call concurrently with e.g. ReadAt().

virtual Result<int64_t> ReadAt(int64_t position, int64_t nbytes, void *out)

Read data from given file position.

At most nbytes bytes are read. The number of bytes read is returned (it can be less than nbytes if EOF is reached).

This method can be safely called from multiple threads concurrently. It is unspecified whether this method updates the file position or not.

The default RandomAccessFile-provided implementation uses Seek() and Read(), but subclasses may override it with a more efficient implementation that doesn’t depend on implicit file positioning.

Parameters:

• position – [in] Where to read bytes from

• nbytes – [in] The number of bytes to read

• out – [out] The buffer to read bytes into

Returns:

The number of bytes read, or an error

virtual Result<std::shared_ptr<Buffer>> ReadAt(int64_t position, int64_t nbytes)

Parameters:

• position – [in] Where to read bytes from

• nbytes – [in] The number of bytes to read

Returns:

A buffer containing the bytes read, or an error

Some implementations might arrange to prefetch some of the data. However, no guarantee is made and the default implementation does nothing. For robust prefetching, use ReadAt() or ReadAsync().
