I am developing a Java application through which I need to read the log files present on a server and perform operations depending on the content of the logs. Files range from 3GB up to 9GB. Here on stack I have already read the discussion about reading large files with java, I am attaching the link:
Java reading large file discussion
In the discussion, the files are read locally,
in my case i have to retrieve and read the file on the server, is there an efficient way to achieve this?
I would like to avoid having to download files given their size.
I had thought about using URL Reader to retrieve the files, but I have doubts about the speed of execution.
The files I need to recover are under the path C:\production\LOG\file.log
Do you have any suggestions or advice?
