Please don't do this. Have the OS handle memory paging and buffering for you and then use Java's parallel algorithms to do concurrent processing. Create a "MappedByteBuffer" and mmap the file into memory. If the file is

Honestly, lack of the ability to write free-floating functions in Java. Recent Java features like records, pattern matching, sum types via sealed interfaces have certainly made it a much more ergonomic and modern language. But having to wra
