[Samtools-devel] Reading Custom Index - Creates many threads?

[Terry C. <tm...@co...>]

Dear Samtools,

I'm using the Java code below to read a custom index that I created.

LittleEndianInputStream input = new LittleEndianInputStream(new
BlockCompressedInputStream(new File(idxFilename)))

On large scale machines (i.e. 96 core), using this input stream seems
to consume many threads (i.e. 60 threads).  Is that expected?  Can
that be limited?


Thank you,

Terry
