Method Details

compress

ArrowBuf compress(BufferAllocator allocator,
 ArrowBuf uncompressedBuffer)

Compress a buffer.

Parameters:

allocator - the allocator for allocating memory for compressed buffer.

uncompressedBuffer - the buffer to compress. Implementation of this method should take care of releasing this buffer.

Returns:

the compressed buffer

decompress

ArrowBuf decompress(BufferAllocator allocator,
 ArrowBuf compressedBuffer)

Decompress a buffer.

Parameters:

allocator - the allocator for allocating memory for decompressed buffer.

compressedBuffer - the buffer to be decompressed. Implementation of this method should take care of releasing this buffer.

Returns:

the decompressed buffer.

getCodecType

CompressionUtil.CodecType getCodecType()

Gets the type of the codec.

Returns:

the type of the codec.
