RandomAccessInput

All Known Implementing Classes:

BufferedIndexInput, BufferedIndexInput.SlicedIndexInput, ByteBufferIndexInput, ByteBufferIndexInput.MultiBufferImpl, ByteBufferIndexInput.SingleBufferImpl, ByteBuffersDataInput, ByteBuffersIndexInput, NIOFSDirectory.NIOFSIndexInput, RAFDirectory.RAFIndexInput, SimpleFSDirectory.SimpleFSIndexInput, WindowsDirectory.WindowsIndexInput
```
public interface RandomAccessInput
```
Random Access Index API. Unlike IndexInput, this has no concept of file position, all reads are absolute. However, like IndexInput, it is only intended for use by a single thread.
