Support for demand-driven write

[bademux]

Hi,
Nice wrapper, thanks!
Looks like I need some help with understanding "[demand-driven feature]( https://github.com/libvips/libvips/wiki/Why-is-libvips-quick)".
As far as I understand libvips can process image without loading it to RAM fully.
For Jvips it is possible to pass MappedByteBuffer as input; But how about output?
Does it mean JVips doesn't support this feature or I missed the point of "demand-driven" and it applies only for reading.

Thanks.
B.

Yes, from my understanding, JVips doesn't support it, but it would be a nice improvement.

@dbouron Can you confirm?

Yes, we didn't implement it because when we measured cpu performance between mapped and byte array, the results were very similar.
Thus, we decided to keep a straightforward implementation for our app.
We didn't measure the impact on the memory, it would be a nice to have.
If we implement this feature, we must provide benchmark on the memory consumption.

thanks!
btw,
here the small snippet how I test JVips
Read

		try (FileChannel ch = Files.newByteChannel(path, READ);
			 VipsImage image = new VipsImage(ch.map(READ_ONLY, 0, ch.size()), (int) ch.size())) {
			...
		}

Write

		try (FileChannel ch = Files.newByteChannel(path, WRITE)) {
			os.write(ByteBuffer.wrap(img.writeToArray(VipsImageFormat.JPG, true)));
		}
