channel

Classes for unifying, type-safening, and performance-improvening java.io.InputStream and java.nio.channels.{Seekable,}ByteChannel abstractions:

ByteChannel

• Basic, un-seek-able implementation of InputStream and ReadableByteChannel interfaces
• Supports position-querying, skip, and readFully APIs taking/returning bytes, byte-arrays, and ByteBuffers
• Constructible from InputStreams and Iterator[Byte]s, by default

SeekableByteChannel

• ByteChannel that adds seek and size methods
• Additionally constructible from java.nio.channels.SeekableByteChannels and hammerlab.path.Paths

CachingChannel

• SeekableByteChannel that keeps an LRU cache of an underlying channel
• Defaults: 64KB blocks, 64MB total size
