- ## Introduction
101
-
102
- If all files were small, they could just be loaded into memory in their entirety. With the
103
- advent of very large files, often into several Gigabytes, or even Terabytes in size, loading
104
- them into memory is not feasible.
105
-
106
- In linux it is common to use pipes to stream data between processes.
107
- For example:
108
-
109
- ```
110
- # Count the number of lines in a file that has been compressed with gzip
111
- cat abc.gz | gunzip -c | wc -l
112
- ```
113
-
114
- For large files it is critical to be able to read and write these files as streams. Ruby has support
115
- for reading and writing files using streams, but has no built-in way of passing one stream through
116
- another to support for example compressing the data, encrypting it and then finally writing the result
117
- to a file. Several streaming implementations exist for languages such as `C++` and `Java` to chain
118
- together several streams, `iostreams` attempts to offer similar features for Ruby.
119
-
120
- ```ruby
121
- # Read a compressed file:
122
- IOStreams.path("hello.gz").reader do |reader|
123
- data = reader.read(1024)
124
- puts "Read: #{data}"
125
- end
126
- ```
127
-
128
- The true power of streams is shown when many streams are chained together to achieve the end
129
- result, without holding the entire file in memory, or ideally without needing to create
130
- any temporary files to process the stream.
131
-
132
- ```ruby
133
- # Create a file that is compressed with GZip and then encrypted with Symmetric Encryption:
134
- IOStreams.path("hello.gz.enc").writer do |writer|
135
- writer.write("Hello World")
136
- writer.write("and some more")
137
- end
138
- ```
139
-
140
- The power of the above example applies when the data being written starts to exceed hundreds of megabytes,
141
- or even gigabytes.
142
-
143
- By looking at the file name supplied above, `iostreams` is able to determine which streams to apply
144
- to the data being read or written. For example:
145
- * `hello.zip` => Compressed using Zip
146
- * `hello.zip.enc` => Compressed using Zip and then encrypted using Symmetric Encryption
147
- * `hello.gz.enc` => Compressed using GZip and then encrypted using Symmetric Encryption
148
-
149
- The objective is that all of these streaming processes are performed used streaming
150
- so that only the current portion of the file is loaded into memory as it moves
151
- through the entire file.
152
- Where possible each stream never goes to disk, which for example could expose
153
- un-encrypted data.
154
-

303
- ~~~
304
-
305
- ## Philosopy
306
-
307
- IOStreams can be used to work against a single stream. it's real capability becomes apparent when chaining together
308
- multiple streams to process data, without loading entire files into memory.
309
-
310
- #### Linux Pipes
311
-
312
- Linux has built-in support for streaming using the `|` (pipe operator) to send the output from one process to another.
313
-
314
- Example: count the number of lines in a compressed file:
315
-
316
- gunzip -c hello.csv.gz | wc -l
317
-
318
- The file `hello.csv.gz` is uncompressed and returned to standard output, which in turn is piped into the standard
319
- input for `wc -l`, which counts the number of lines in the uncompressed data.
320
-
321
- As each block of data is returned from `gunzip` it is immediately passed into `wc` so that it
322
- can start counting lines of uncompressed data, without waiting until the entire file is decompressed.
323
- The uncompressed contents of the file are not written to disk before passing to `wc -l` and the file is not loaded
324
- into memory before passing to `wc -l`.
325
-
326
- In this way extremely large files can be processed with very little memory being used.
327
-
328
- #### Push Model
329
-
330
- In the Linux pipes example above this would be considered a "push model" where each task in the list pushes
331
- its output to the input of the next task.
332
-
333
- A major challenge or disadvantage with the push model is that buffering would need to occur between tasks since
334
- each task could complete at very different speeds. To prevent large memory usage the standard output from a previous
335
- task would have to be blocked to try and make it slow down.
336
-
337
- #### Pull Model
338
-
339
- Another approach with multiple tasks that need to process a single stream, is to move to a "pull model" where the
340
- task at the end of the list pulls a block from a previous task when it is ready to process it.
341
-
342
- #### IOStreams
343
-
344
- IOStreams uses the pull model when reading data, where each stream performs a read against the previous stream
345
- when it is ready for more data.
346
-
347
- When writing to an output stream, IOStreams uses the push model, where each block of data that is ready to be written
348
- is pushed to the task/stream in the list. The write push only returns once it has traversed all the way down to
349
- the final task / stream in the list, this avoids complex buffering issues between each task / stream in the list.
350
-
351
- Example: Implementing in Ruby: `gunzip -c hello.csv.gz | wc -l`
352
-
353
- ~~~ruby
354
- line_count = 0
355
- IOStreams::Gzip::Reader.open("hello.csv.gz") do |input|
356
- IOStreams::Line::Reader.open(input) do |lines|
357
- lines.each { line_count += 1}
358
- end
359
- end
360
- puts "hello.csv.gz contains #{line_count} lines"
361
- ~~~
362
-
363
- Since IOStreams can autodetect file types based on the file extension, `IOStreams.reader` can figure which stream
364
- to start with:
365
- ~~~ruby
366
- line_count = 0
367
- IOStreams.path("hello.csv.gz").reader do |input|
368
- IOStreams::Line::Reader.open(input) do |lines|
369
- lines.each { line_count += 1}
370
- end
371
- end
372
- puts "hello.csv.gz contains #{line_count} lines"
373
- ~~~
374
-
375
- Since we know we want a line reader, it can be simplified using `#reader(:line)`:
376
- ~~~ruby
377
- line_count = 0
378
- IOStreams.path("hello.csv.gz").reader(:line) do |lines|
379
- lines.each { line_count += 1}
380
- end
381
- puts "hello.csv.gz contains #{line_count} lines"
382
- ~~~
383
-
384
- It can be simplified even further using `#each`:
385
- ~~~ruby
386
- line_count = 0
387
- IOStreams.path("hello.csv.gz").each { line_count += 1}
388
- puts "hello.csv.gz contains #{line_count} lines"
389
- ~~~
390
-
391
- The benefit in all of the above cases is that the file can be any arbitrary size and only one block of the file
392
- is held in memory at any time.
393
-
394
- #### Chaining
395
-
396
- In the above example only 2 streams were used. Streams can be nested as deep as necessary to process data.
397
-
398
- Example, search for all occurrences of the word apple, cleansing the input data stream of non printable characters
399
- and converting to valid US ASCII.
400
-
401
- ~~~ruby
402
- apple_count = 0
403
- IOStreams::Gzip::Reader.open("hello.csv.gz") do |input|
404
- IOStreams::Encode::Reader.open(input,
405
- encoding: "US-ASCII",
406
- encode_replace: "",
407
- encode_cleaner: :printable) do |cleansed|
408
- IOStreams::Line::Reader.open(cleansed) do |lines|
409
- lines.each { |line| apple_count += line.scan("apple").count}
410
- end
411
- end
412
- puts "Found the word 'apple' #{apple_count} times in hello.csv.gz"
413
- ~~~
414
-
415
- Let IOStreams perform the above stream chaining automatically under the covers:
416
-
417
- ~~~ruby
418
- apple_count = 0
419
- IOStreams.path("hello.csv.gz").
420
- option(:encode, encoding: "US-ASCII", replace: "", cleaner: :printable).
421
- each do |line|
422
- apple_count += line.scan("apple").count
423
- end
424
-
425
- puts "Found the word 'apple' #{apple_count} times in hello.csv.gz"
426
- ~~~
427
-
428
