Interface PointWriter

All Superinterfaces:
AutoCloseable, Closeable
All Known Implementing Classes:
HeapPointWriter, OfflinePointWriter
public interface PointWriter extends Closeable
Appends many points, and then at the end provides a PointReader to iterate those points. This abstracts away whether we write to disk, or use simple arrays in heap.
