Reading Snapshots Programmatically
You can read a snapshot entry-by-entry for further processing or transformation into other formats.
The following is an example of a snapshot reader that processes entries from a previously generated snapshot file.
File mySnapshot = ...
SnapshotIterator<String, MyObject> iter = SnapshotReader.read(mySnapshot);
try {
while (iter.hasNext()) {
Entry<String, MyObject> entry = iter.next();
String key = entry.getKey();
MyObject value = entry.getValue();
System.out.println(key + " = " + value);
}
} finally {
iter.close();
}
