Efficiently Reading Large Files in Java

In this post we will explore various file reading options and how to tune it for the higher throughput in Java.

I decided to look at “memory-mapped file” and how to use it. Let's start by looking into how we read/write data into files by Java today.

The readString() method uses the readAllBytes() method internally, and then converts the binary data into the desired string of type String. Reading a text file ...

It returns you the size and the start address of the file in the memory. What you have to do is to access to that location in the memory.

The standard way of reading the lines of the file is in memory – both Guava and Apache Commons IO provide a quick way to do just that:

The most common way to read a file line by line in Java is by using BufferedReader . This method is memory-efficient and performs well for large ...
