Jukka Zitting commented on IO-71:
---------------------------------

I see your point about the standard pipe streams, but I'd rather solve that by 
implementing alternate versions of those classes in o.a.c.io.input and 
o.a.c.io.output, just like the improved ByteArrayOutputStream and the proxy 
stream classes do.

As for your actual PipedUtils API, it seems to me that you're rather looking 
for a generic filtering mechanism. All your public methods take an InputStream, 
apply some (piped) transformations to it, and return another InputStream for 
reading content that has gone through those transformations.

The interesting part in your solution is IMHO the way you turn an OutputStream 
filter into an InputStream filter, but I think that with some refactoring you 
could achieve the same functionality without the extra thread.

> I developed some nifty code that takes an OutputStream and sort  of  reverses 
> it as if it were an 
> InputStream.  Error passing and  handling  close is dealt with.  It needs 
> another thread to do the  work 
> which  runs in parallel.  It uses Piped streams.  I created  this because I  
> had to conform 
> GZIPOutputStream to my framework  which demanded an  InputStream.
