Sebb resolved COMPRESS-155.
---------------------------
Resolution: Invalid
Compressed files are a stream of bytes.
It does not make sense to try and decompress a stream of characters.
If there are problems using ReaderInputStream as far as I can tell that is not
a bug in Compress.
> CompressorStreamFactory hangs when creating BZip2CompressorInputStream from
> ReaderInputStream

> Key: COMPRESS-155
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COMPRESS-155
> Project: Commons Compress
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: PNS
> Priority: Blocker
>
> Assume that one wants to read a BZIP2 file but only has a reference to a
> BufferedReader object and not to the File object itself.
> An approach would be creating an InputStream from the BufferedReader
> reference, using the org.apache.commons.io.input.ReaderInputStream class, as
> follows:
> BufferedReader reader = <the reader to the actual BZIP2 file>;
> InputStream is = new ReaderInputStream(reader);
> CompressorInputStream cis = new
> CompressorStreamFactory().createCompressorInputStream(is);
> However, the call to the createCompressorInputStream() method hangs on the
> statement
> int signatureLength = in.read(signature); // CompressorStreamFactory line 93
> in commons-compress v1.2
> The problem seems to be in the read(byte[] b, int off, int len) method of
> ReaderInputStream, which is called by the method fill(), in turn called by
> read1(byte[] b, int off, int len) in BufferedInputStream.
