Class IntSeries

public final class IntSeries extends Object
Circular buffer for storing time-series integer statistics.

IntSeries maintains a fixed-size circular buffer of data points, typically used to store equally-spaced time-series samples of session statistics. Once the buffer fills, new data overwrites the oldest data, maintaining a rolling window of recent samples.

Understanding Circular Buffers:
A circular buffer is a fixed-size array where write position wraps around to the start after reaching the end. This is efficient for maintaining a sliding window of data: 

 // Example: 5-element buffer, adding values 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
 // After adding: [6, 2, 3, 4, 5]
 //                ^
 //                write position wraps around

Creating an IntSeries: 

 // Create series with capacity for 60 samples (e.g., 60 seconds of data)
 IntSeries series = new IntSeries(60);

 // Or create from existing buffer
 long[] buffer = new long[120];
 IntSeries series = new IntSeries(buffer);

Adding Data Points: 

 IntSeries series = new IntSeries(60);

 // Add statistics samples (typically called once per second)
 for (int i = 0; i < 65; i++) {
     long downloadBytes = sm.stats().totalDownload();
     series.add(downloadBytes);

     if (i == 60) {
         // After 60 samples, oldest data starts getting overwritten
         System.out.println(\"Buffer size: \" + series.size());  // = 60
     }
 }

Querying Data: 

 // Get most recent value
 long latest = series.last();

 // Get series size (how many samples stored)
 int samples = series.size();

 // Iterate through all samples (newest to oldest)
 for (int i = 0; i < series.size(); i++) {
     long value = series.get(i);
     System.out.println(\"Sample \" + i + \": \" + value);
 }

Practical Use Case - Download Speed Calculation: 

 // Track download speed over 60 seconds
 IntSeries downloadSamples = new IntSeries(60);
 SessionManager sm = new SessionManager();
 sm.start();

 // Sample download bytes every second
 Timer timer = new Timer();
 timer.schedule(new TimerTask() {
     public void run() {
         SessionStats stats = sm.stats();
         long totalDownload = stats.totalDownload();
         downloadSamples.add(totalDownload);
     }
 }, 0, 1000);  // Every 1000ms

 // Calculate average speed over last minute
 long firstSample = downloadSamples.get(downloadSamples.size() - 1);
 long lastSample = downloadSamples.last();
 long deltaBytes = lastSample - firstSample;
 long deltaSeconds = downloadSamples.size();  // One second per sample
 long avgSpeed = deltaBytes / deltaSeconds;  // bytes per second

Buffer Behavior: 

 // New series starts empty
 IntSeries series = new IntSeries(5);
 System.out.println(series.size());  // 0

 series.add(100);
 System.out.println(series.size());  // 1
 System.out.println(series.last());  // 100

 // Add more samples
 for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
     series.add(100 + i);
 }

 // Buffer now full with 5 most recent samples
 System.out.println(series.size());  // 5
 System.out.println(series.last());  // 109 (most recent)
 System.out.println(series.get(4)); // 105 (oldest in buffer)

Index Wrapping: 

 // Warning: Index wraps around buffer boundaries
 IntSeries series = new IntSeries(3);
 series.add(10);
 series.add(20);
 series.add(30);

 // series.get(0) = 10  (oldest)
 // series.get(1) = 20  (middle)
 // series.get(2) = 30  (newest/last)

 // Be careful! Accessing beyond size wraps around
 // series.get(series.size() - 1) returns last()
 // series.get(series.size()) may return wrappedindex values

Important Notes:

  • Buffer size is fixed at creation; no growth or shrinking
  • New series has size() = 0 until first value added
  • last() returns 0 if series empty or end pointer not set
  • Access beyond size() causes index wrapping (undefined behavior)
  • Always check size() before accessing; don't assume capacity
  • Used internally for sliding-window statistics

Performance Notes:

  • add(): O(1) - constant time operation
  • get(): O(1) - direct array access with modulo calculation
  • last(): O(1) - direct element access
  • Memory: Fixed by buffer capacity, no dynamic allocation

    • get

      public long get(int index)
      This method will always returns a value, but keep in mind that due to the nature of the circular buffer internal logic, if you pass past the size, you will get the sames values again. Use for a proper boundary check.

      Usage example: 

       
     for (int i = min(series.size(), desired_count); i >= 0; i--) {
         plotMyValueAt(i, series.get(i));
     }
      Parameters:
      index - the value's index
      Returns:
      the value in the series

    • last

      public long last()
      This method will always returns a value, if the series is empty 0 is returned.
      Returns:
      the last value in the series
