  • Constructor Details

    • DiskRowStore

      public DiskRowStore(File file) throws IOException
      Constructs a new DiskRowStore which uses the given file as a backing store. Nothing is done to mark this file as temporary. Since the storage format is not public, specifying the file like this isn't very useful except for test purposes.
      Parameters:
      file - location of the backing file which will be used
      Throws:
      IOException - if there is some I/O-related problem with opening the file
      SecurityException - if the current security context does not allow writing to a temporary file
    • DiskRowStore

      public DiskRowStore() throws IOException

      Throws:
      IOException - if there is some I/O-related problem with opening the file
      SecurityException - if the current security context does not allow writing to a temporary file
