Method Summary

All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods Default Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`void`	`close()`	Close the related output stream and release any resources
`void`	`endRecord()`	called to notify of record boundaries
`void`	`flush()`	when we are done writing to flush to the underlying storage
`long`	`getAllocatedSize()`	used for information
`long`	`getBufferedSize()`	used to flush row groups to disk
`ColumnWriter`	`getColumnWriter(ColumnDescriptor path)`
`default boolean`	`isColumnFlushNeeded()`	Returns whether flushing the possibly cached values (or nulls) to the underlying column writers is necessary, because the pages might be closed after the next invocation of `endRecord()`.
`String`	`memUsageString()`	used for debugging purpose

- Method Detail
  - getColumnWriter
```
ColumnWriter getColumnWriter(ColumnDescriptor path)
```
    Parameters:
    
    path - the column for which to create a writer
    
    Returns:
    
    the column writer for the given column
  - flush
```
void flush()
```
    when we are done writing to flush to the underlying storage
  - endRecord
```
void endRecord()
```
    called to notify of record boundaries
  - getAllocatedSize
```
long getAllocatedSize()
```
    used for information
    
    Returns:
    
    approximate size used in memory
  - getBufferedSize
```
long getBufferedSize()
```
    used to flush row groups to disk
    
    Returns:
    
    approximate size of the buffered encoded binary data
  - memUsageString
```
String memUsageString()
```
    used for debugging purpose
    
    Returns:
    
    a formated string representing memory usage per column
  - close
```
void close()
```
    Close the related output stream and release any resources
  - isColumnFlushNeeded
```
default boolean isColumnFlushNeeded()
```
    Returns whether flushing the possibly cached values (or nulls) to the underlying column writers is necessary, because the pages might be closed after the next invocation of endRecord().
    
    Returns:
    
    true if all the values shall be written to the underlying column writers before calling endRecord()
