Hi,
I am working on a seismic app (Java 5) that involves reading enormously
large files (500 Gb is a medium size in our environment). I need to be
able to read multiple chunks of the files over the LAN fast, and am
considering the asynchronous IO. This is how I stumbled into MINA.
The question is this: is MINA a right tool for a relatively simple task
(reading binary files as fast as possible). I am just exploring my
options, and cannot invest much time into learning something that might
turn out to be a wrong thing. So, a very brief response ("yes, it will
do the job", or "no, it's an overkill") will be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
