[IO] InputStreamSource

2013-12-10 Thread dam6923 .
Howdy and as always, thank you for reading. In a recent project, I have found that it has been very useful to implement something akin to Google's Guava ByteSource. I happen to call mine InputStreamSource. Would such a feature be of interest for inclusion into Commons IO? --

Hello, Is there any policy in place or method already laid out for putting bounties on certain task items? In particular, I could chip something in for the following two tickets: 1) https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COMPRESS-88 2) https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COMPRESS-238 Both are

Thanks for all the work. I'm excited to finally incorporate the changes into some of my professional work. I just took a peek at the website and there is an advertisement for ApacheCon NA 2013. Perhaps its time to drop the mention? :) Thanks. On Sat, Oct 26, 2013 at 9:52 AM, Stefan Bodewig w

org.apache.commons.compress.archivers.ar.ArArchiveInputStream#getNextArEntry() The code to "skip to the next available entry" looks a bit inefficient because it reads one byte at a time in a loop. Consider using org.apache.commons.compress.utils.IOUtils.skip(InputStream, long) Consider using org

Benedikt, You may also following Google's approach. I think it's clever: "To get help on a specific question or problem, post a question to Stack Overflow with the tag "guava". We monitor these questions using this RSS feed." Clearly, the tag could be "apache-commons." I mean, the tag already

[COMPRESS} ZLIB Support

2013-07-19 Thread dam6923 .
So, I'm fairly new to the world of compression implementations. Is ZLIB (RFC 1950) supported by the current COMPRESS library? If not, perhaps we can borrow from APACHE MINA? I see on their "thank you page" a reference to "Vinod Panicker - Zlib compression." ~BB
