----------------------------------
Summary: Support threshold=0 in ThresholdingOutputStream
Key: IO-405
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IO-405
Project: Commons IO
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Streams/Writers
Affects Versions: 2.5
Reporter: Jochen Wiedmann
Assignee: Jochen Wiedmann
Priority: Minor
I recently had a case where I would wish threshold=0 to trigger an immediate
thresholdReached() in ThresholdingOutputStream(). This seems to me to be a
natural expectation. However, thresholdReached() is only triggered after the
first byte has been written.
I'd like to modify the constructor of ThresholdingOutputStream() in that sense.
However, as thresholdReached() might throw an IOException, there are two
possibilities I'd like to discuss:
1.) Pass the IOException through. Or, in other words: Modify the constructor to
throw an IOException. (Slight binary incompatibility.)
2.) Catch the IOException, pass on a RuntimeException. Source code
compatibility, but surprising for the developer.
Personally, I'm in favour for 1.)
