关于java:ScatterGather-IO

Scatter/Gather I/O，翻译过去是扩散 / 汇集 I/O（又称为 Vectored I/O）。是一种能够单次调用中对多个缓冲区进行输出 / 输入的形式，能够把多个缓冲区数据一次写到数据流中，也能够把一个数据流读取到多个缓冲区

应用 Scatter/Gather I/ O 的次要起因是为了高效和不便，能够在一次 I / O 操作中解决多个 Buffer 的读写

各种操作系统都提供了 Scatter/Gather I/ O 的函数库，能够很不便的调用。对于一些高级语言，也是有相应实现的。

Java 中也提供了 Scatter/Gather I/ O 的实现，对应的接口为java.nio.channels.ScatteringByteChannel/java.nio.channels.GatheringByteChannel，都在 java 的 nio 包下。

先来看一下接口定义：

public interface ScatteringByteChannel extends ReadableByteChannel
{public long read (ByteBuffer [] dsts) throws IOException;
    public long read (ByteBuffer [] dsts, int offset, int length) throws IOException;
}
 
public interface GatheringByteChannel extends WritableByteChannel
{public long write(ByteBuffer[] srcs) throws IOException;
    public long write(ByteBuffer[] srcs, int offset, int length) throws IOException;
}

应用也很简略，因为 FileChannel/`SocketChanel 是实现了这两个接口的，也就是说应用FileChannel/SocketChanel` 时能够间接应用 Scatter/Gather I/O

上面的例子中创立了两个 ByteBuyffer，一个 ByteBuffer 存储一个随机数，另一个 ByteBuffer 存储一个随机字符串。

第一步，应用GatheringByteChannel` 将两个 ByteBuffer 中的数据写入至 `FileChannel

第二部，应用 ScatteringByteChannel 将 FileChannel 中的数据读取至两个 ByteBuffer 中

第三步，验证读取后的数据是否匹配

Netty 中提供了 CompositeByteBuf，尽管看起来相似 Scatter/Gather I/O，但和 JDK 自带的齐全不是一回事，Netty 只是在 Java 层面对 Buffer 进行了组合
