Package org.apache.geode.compression

Interface Compressor

All Known Implementing Classes:
AbstractLz4Compressor, Lz4Compressor, PureJavaLz4Compressor, SafeJavaLz4Compressor, SnappyCompressor
public interface Compressor
Interface for a compression codec.

Implementations must be thread-safe. A single Compressor instance is shared across all threads operating on a region. The simplest way to satisfy this requirement is to keep no mutable state in the implementation; for example, allocate any working buffers as local variables within each method call.
