I am using a file as a cache for big data. One thread writes to it sequentially, another thread reads it sequentially.
Can I be sure that all data that has been written (by write()
) in one thread can be read()
from another thread, assuming a proper "happens-before" relationship in terms of the Java memory model? Is this behavior documented?
In my JDK, FileOutputStream
does not override flush()
, and OutputStream.flush()
is empty. That's why I'm wondering...
The streams in question are owned exclusively by a class that I have full control of. Each stream is guaranteed to be accesses by one thread only. My tests show that it works as expected, but I'm still wondering if this is guaranteed and documented.
