I have a lot of data and need PBF just to extract the things i want
from it, and not everything at once. I am getting the impression, that
PBF is not suitable for that kind of needs, but I am pretty new to it,
and maybe i'm overlooking something.
I have for example:
message x {
repeated Y y =1;
}
Now every object of type Y is pretty big and i just want to extract
one single y from the disk and deserialize it.
To be more clearly, i want something like: x.getY(int position), and i
need Protobuf to just read that object from the disk and nothing else.
>From what i understand, if i use "parseFrom(String path)" to create an
instance of x, every y in Y is parsed as well and that takes a lot of
ram space, which i simply dont have.
Thanks for any help!
Michael
