Method Detail

supportsReopen

public boolean supportsReopen()
Description copied from interface: EventSerializer
Specify whether this output format supports reopening files for append. For example, this method should return false if EventSerializer.beforeClose() writes a trailer that "finalizes" the file (this type of behavior is file format-specific).
Could have been named supportsAppend().

Specified by:
supportsReopen in interface EventSerializer

afterCreate

public void afterCreate()
Description copied from interface: EventSerializer
Hook to write a header after file is opened for the first time.

Specified by:
afterCreate in interface EventSerializer

afterReopen

public void afterReopen()
Description copied from interface: EventSerializer
Hook to handle any framing needed when file is re-opened (for write).
Could have been named afterOpenForAppend().

Specified by:
afterReopen in interface EventSerializer

beforeClose

public void beforeClose()
Description copied from interface: EventSerializer
Hook to write a trailer before the stream is closed. Implementations must not buffer data in this call since EventSerializer.flush() is not guaranteed to be called after beforeClose().

Specified by:
beforeClose in interface EventSerializer

write

public void write(Event e)
           throws IOException
Description copied from interface: EventSerializer
Serialize and write the given event.

Specified by:
write in interface EventSerializer
Parameters:
e - Event to write to the underlying stream.
Throws:
IOException

flush

public void flush()
           throws IOException
Description copied from interface: EventSerializer
Hook to flush any internal write buffers to the underlying stream. It is NOT necessary for an implementation to then call flush() / sync() on the underlying stream itself, since those semantics would be provided by the driver that calls this API.

Specified by:
flush in interface EventSerializer
Throws:
IOException
