Struct WriterBuilder

pub struct WriterBuilder { /* private fields */ }

A struct that is used to configure a Writer.

Implementations

impl WriterBuilder

pub fn new() -> WriterBuilder

Creates a WriterBuilder, it can be used to configure your Writer to better fit your needs.

pub fn compression_type( &mut self, compression_type: CompressionType, ) -> &mut Self

Defines the CompressionType that will be used to compress the writer blocks.

pub fn compression_level(&mut self, level: u32) -> &mut Self

Defines the copression level of the defined CompressionType that will be used to compress the writer blocks.

pub fn block_size(&mut self, size: usize) -> &mut Self

Defines the size of the blocks that the writer will writer.

The bigger the blocks are the better they are compressed but the more time it takes to compress and decompress them.

pub fn index_key_interval(&mut self, interval: NonZeroUsize) -> &mut Self

The interval at which we store the index of a key in the index footer, used to seek into a block.

pub fn index_levels(&mut self, levels: u8) -> &mut Self

The number of levels/indirection we will use to write the index footer.

An indirection of 1 or 2 is sufficient to reduce the impact of decompressing/reading the index block footer.

The default is 0 which means that the index block footer values directly specifies the block where the requested data entries can be found. The disavantage of this is that the index block can be quite big and take time to be decompressed and read.

pub fn build<W: Write>(&self, writer: W) -> Writer<W>

Creates the Writer that will write into the provided io::Write type.

pub fn memory(&self) -> Writer<Vec<u8>>

Creates the Writer that will write into a Vec of bytes.
