class TFileCacheRead: public TObject


TFileCacheRead : a cache when reading files over the network

A caching system to speed up network I/O, i.e. when there is
no operating system caching support (like the buffer cache for
local disk I/O). The cache makes sure that every I/O is done with
a (large) fixed length buffer thereby avoiding many small I/O's.
Currently the read cache system is used by the classes TNetFile,
TXNetFile and TWebFile (via TFile::ReadBuffers()).

When processing TTree, TChain, a specialized class TTreeCache that
derives from this class is automatically created.

Function documentation

TFileCacheRead()
 Default Constructor.
TFileCacheRead(TFile* file, Int_t buffersize, TObject* tree = 0)
 Creates a TFileCacheRead data structure.
~TFileCacheRead()
 Destructor.
void Close(Option_t* option = "")
 Close out any threads or asynchronous fetches used by the underlying
 implementation.
 This is called by TFile::Close to prevent usage of the file handles
 after the closing of the file.
void Prefetch(Long64_t pos, Int_t len)
 Add block of length len at position pos in the list of blocks to
 be prefetched. If pos <= 0 the current blocks (if any) are reset.
void SecondPrefetch(Long64_t , Int_t )
void Print(Option_t* option = "") const
 Print cache statistics, like
   ******TreeCache statistics for file: cms2.root ******
   Reading............................: 72761843 bytes in 7 transactions
   Readahead..........................: 256000 bytes with overhead = 0 bytes
   Average transaction................: 10394.549000 Kbytes
   Number of blocks in current cache..: 210, total size: 6280352

 if option = "a" the list of blocks in the cache is printed
 NB: this function is automatically called by TTreeCache::Print
Int_t ReadBuffer(char* buf, Long64_t pos, Int_t len)
 Read buffer at position pos.
 If pos is in the list of prefetched blocks read from fBuffer,
 otherwise need to make a normal read from file. Returns -1 in case of
 read error, 0 in case not in cache, 1 in case read from cache.
Int_t ReadBufferExt(char* buf, Long64_t pos, Int_t len, Int_t& loc)
Int_t ReadBufferExtPrefetch(char* buf, Long64_t pos, Int_t len, Int_t& loc)
prefetch the first block
Int_t ReadBufferExtNormal(char* buf, Long64_t pos, Int_t len, Int_t& loc)
 Base function for ReadBuffer. Also gives out the position
 of the block in the internal buffer. This helps TTreeCacheUnzip to avoid
 doing twice the binary search
void SetFile(TFile* file, TFile::ECacheAction action = TFile::kDisconnect)
 Set the file using this cache and reset the current blocks (if any).
void Sort()
 Sort buffers to be prefetched in increasing order of positions.
 Merge consecutive blocks if necessary.
void SecondSort()
 Sort buffers to be prefetched in increasing order of positions.
 Merge consecutive blocks if necessary.
 Sort buffers to be prefetched in increasing order of positions.
 Merge consecutive blocks if necessary.
TFilePrefetch* GetPrefetchObj()
void WaitFinishPrefetch()
void SetEnablePrefetching(Bool_t setPrefetching = kFALSE)
 Set the prefetching mode of this file.
 if 'setPrefetching', enable the asynchronous prefetching
 (using TFilePrefetch) and if the gEnv and rootrc
 variable Cache.Directory is set, also enable the local
 caching of the prefetched blocks.
 if 'setPrefetching', the old prefetcher is enabled is
 the gEnv and rootrc variable is TFile.AsyncReading
void SetEnablePrefetchingImpl(Bool_t setPrefetching = kFALSE)
 TFileCacheRead implementation of SetEnablePrefetching.

 This function is called from the constructor and should not be virtual.
