I am trying to write a reader which reads files by bits but I have a problem with large files. I tried to read file with 100 mb and it took over 3 minutes but it worked.
However, then I tried file with 500 mb but it didn't even started. Because of this line:
byte[] fileBits = new byte[len];
Now I am searching for sulutions and can't find any. Maybe someone had solved it and could share some code, tips or idea.
if (file.length() > Integer.MAX_VALUE) {
throw new IllegalArgumentException("File is too large: " + file.length());
}
int len = (int) file.length();
FileInputStream inputStream = new FileInputStream(file);
try {
byte[] fileBits = new byte[len];
for (int pos = 0; pos < len;) {
int n = inputStream.read(fileBits, pos, len - pos);
if (n < 0) {
throw new EOFException();
}
pos += n;
}
inputStream.read(fileBits, 0, inputStream.available());
inputStream.close();
I suggest you try memory mapping.
FileChannel fc = new FileInputStream(file).getChannel();
MappedByteBuffer mbb = fc.map(FileChannel.MapMode.READ_ONLY, 0, (int) fc.size());
This will make the whole file available almost immediately (about 10 ms) and uses next to no heap. BTW The file has to be less than 2 GB.
