| Apr 22, 2022 at 13:09 | comment | added | Dylan | For reasons that I cannot divulge, the design directed us to use ShapeFiles as a medium. A side-effect of this decision is that we cannot FTP/scp the files to the host system so we package the bytes into a packet and send it over the network. The issue then is, "why do we have to write the files to the disk?" If we have the contents in memory, then we can use them as-is OR dump it to an actual file. Seems the only option is dump it to a file? I was curious if there were settings or some other method to access the byte buffer before it was written to the filesystem and skip the filesystem step? | |

the limit is java8 - and the reason it isn't done is because shapefiles are only designed to be stored on disk. If you need in memory then use a FeatureCollection which is designed for that
