Struct ciruela::blocks::ThreadedBlockReader

pub struct ThreadedBlockReader { /* fields omitted */ }

A default threaded block reader

It starts 40 threads (by default) and reads every block requested from server. The number of threads is large to allow disk subsystem to reorder and optimize requests. Threads should be quite cheap in rust.

Note: no prefetching or caching blocks implemented because it's expected that servers request different blocks. Also, we don't know which blocks will be requested because in the average case most blocks are already on server because of similar images. Also, OS file cache is good enough.

Methods

impl ThreadedBlockReader

fn new() -> ThreadedBlockReader

Create a reader with default number of threads (40 at the moment)

fn new_num_threads(num: usize) -> ThreadedBlockReader

fn register_dir<P: AsRef<Path>>(
    &self,
    dir: P,
    virtual_path: &VPath,
    index_data: &[u8]
) -> Result<(), DirError>

Register a filesystem directory to respond to get_block request from
