=head1 NAME

Bio::Index::AbstractSeq - Base class for AbstractSeq s 

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  # Make a new sequence file indexing package

  package MyShinyNewIndexer;
  use Bio::Index::AbstractSeq;

  @ISA = ('Bio::Index::AbstractSeq');

  # Now provide the necessary methods...

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Provides a common base class for multiple
sequence files built using the
Bio::Index::Abstract system, and provides a
Bio::DB::SeqI interface.

=head2 _file_format

 Title   : _file_format
 Usage   : $self->_file_format
 Function: Derived classes should override this
           method (it throws an exception here)
           to give the file format of the files used
 Example :
 Returns : 
 Args    :

=head2 fetch

  Example : $seq = $index->fetch( 'dJ67B12' )
  Returns : Bio::Seq object
  Args    : ID

=cut

sub fetch {
    my( $self, $id ) = @_;

        seek($fh, $begin, 0);
	
	$seq = $seqio->next_seq();

    # is the display_id

=head2 _get_SeqIO_object

  Title   : _get_SeqIO_object
  Usage   : $index->_get_SeqIO_object( $file )
  Function: Returns a Bio::SeqIO object for the file
  Example : $seq = $index->_get_SeqIO_object( 0 )
  Returns : Bio::SeqIO object
  Args    : File number (an integer)

=cut

sub _get_SeqIO_object {
    my( $self, $i ) = @_;
    
    unless ($self->{'_seqio_cache'}[$i]) {

    }

}

=head2 get_Seq_by_id

 Title   : get_Seq_by_id
 Usage   : $seq = $db->get_Seq_by_id()
 Function: retrieves a sequence object, identically to
           ->fetch, but here behaving as a Bio::DB::BioSeqI
 Returns : new Bio::Seq object
 Args    : string represents the id


=cut

sub get_Seq_by_id {
   my ($self,$id) = @_;

   return $self->fetch($id);
}

=head2 get_Seq_by_acc

 Title   : get_Seq_by_acc
 Usage   : $seq = $db->get_Seq_by_acc()
 Function: retrieves a sequence object, identically to
           ->fetch, but here behaving as a Bio::DB::BioSeqI
 Returns : new Bio::Seq object
 Args    : string represents the accession number


=cut

sub get_Seq_by_acc {
   my ($self,$id) = @_;

   return $self->fetch($id);
}

=head2 get_PrimarySeq_stream

 Title   : get_PrimarySeq_stream
 Usage   : $stream = get_PrimarySeq_stream
 Function: Makes a Bio::DB::SeqStreamI compliant object
           which provides a single method, next_primary_seq
 Returns : Bio::DB::SeqStreamI
 Args    : none


=cut

sub get_PrimarySeq_stream {
    my $self = shift;
    my $num  = $self->_file_count() || 0;
    my @file;
    
    for (my $i = 0; $i < $num; $i++) {
        my( $file, $stored_size ) = $self->unpack_record( $self->db->{"__FILE_$i"} );
	push(@file,$file);
    }
   
    my $out = Bio::SeqIO::MultiFile->new( '-format' => $self->_file_format , -files => \@file);
    return $out;
}

=head2 get_all_primary_ids

 Title   : get_all_primary_ids
 Usage   : @ids = $seqdb->get_all_primary_ids()
 Function: gives an array of all the primary_ids of the 
           sequence objects in the database. These
           maybe ids (display style) or accession numbers
           or something else completely different - they
           *are not* meaningful outside of this database
           implementation.
 Example :
 Returns : an array of strings
 Args    : none


=cut

sub get_all_primary_ids {
   my ($self,@args) = @_;
    my $db = $self->db;
   
   # the problem is here that we have indexed things both on
   # accession number and name. 

   # We could take two options
   # here - loop over the database, returning only one copy of each
   # id that points to the same byte position, or we rely on semantics
   # of accession numbers.

   # someone is going to index a database with no accession numbers.
   # doh!. We have to uniquify the index...

   my( %bytepos );
   while (my($id, $rec) = each %$db) {
       if( $id =~ /^__/ ) {
           # internal info
           next;
       }
       my ($file, $begin) = $self->unpack_record( $rec );
       
       $bytepos{"$file:$begin"} = $id;
   }

   return values %bytepos;
}


=head2 get_Seq_by_primary_id

 Title   : get_Seq_by_primary_id
 Usage   : $seq = $db->get_Seq_by_primary_id($primary_id_string);
 Function: Gets a Bio::Seq object by the primary id. The primary
           id in these cases has to come from $db->get_all_primary_ids.
           There is no other way to get (or guess) the primary_ids
           in a database.

           The other possibility is to get Bio::PrimarySeqI objects
           via the get_PrimarySeq_stream and the primary_id field
           on these objects are specified as the ids to use here.
 Returns : A Bio::Seq object
 Args    : primary id (as a string)
 Throws  : "acc does not exist" exception


=cut

sub get_Seq_by_primary_id {
   my ($self,$id) = @_;
   return $self->fetch($id);
}
