This release has improved DROID performance. For very large files where approprate metadata can be extracted from the beginning of a file (certain types of video, for example), it is now possible to limit the number of bytes that the DROID tool examines. This is a new value in the fits.xml configuration file. More details here. By default, there is no change to file processing by DROID unless this value is either uncommented or added to an existing fits.xml file.

The class FitsOutput.java has a new method, getFitsVersion(), which provides the version of FITS that created the instance of this class.

Change Summary

  • In the class FitsOutput.java, the instance method getFitsVersion() reflects the version of FITS that generated the FitsOutput instance, which could be a version different than the version of FITS currently being used. (The version of FITS in use is reflected by the value Fits.VERSION.
  • A new configuration value has been added to fits.xml. The DROID tool within FITS has been modified so that it can process large files such as .mov and .mxf files much faster while providing the same metadata since metadata in those files can be retrieved at the beginning of the file. The new attribute <droid_read_limit include-exts="mov,mxf" read-limit-kb="64" /> allows for configuring which file types to limit processing by DROID and by what amount.
