Reading first row from first sheet before full file available?

[david5w]

Thank you for this library. Is it reasonable to expect this library to enable access to the first row in the first sheet, when the file is not yet completely available (still sequentially arriving)? Based on the nature of the error, it seems like the underlying ZIP might disallow this.

When I try the following, I get the resulting exception.

List<String> list = new LinkedList<String>();
InputStream in = <...>
try (
	Workbook workbook = StreamingReader.builder().open(in)) {
	Sheet sheet = workbook.getSheetAt(0);
	Row r = sheet.getRow(0);
	for (Cell c : r) {
		list.add(c.getStringCellValue());
	}
}

This is not an issue in this library. The exception happens in java.util.zip.ZipFile

[david5w]

Understood. But it might be worthwhile to clarify to your audience that your streaming API cannot control whether any of its dependencies do non-streaming things (case in point), and that the memory and speed benefits of streaming may therefore be adversely impacted. For our use case, it meant we couldn't use this library. Nevertheless, thank you for making this library available. Kind Regards.

@david5w did you find a way to fit your use case?

[david5w]

We have not.
