## Class RollingCharBuffer

- java.lang.Object
- - org.apache.lucene.analysis.util.RollingCharBuffer

-     public final class RollingCharBuffer
      extends Object

  Acts like a forever growing char[] as you read characters into it from the provided reader, but internally it uses a circular buffer to only hold the characters that haven't been freed yet. This is like a PushbackReader, except you don't have to specify up-front the max size of the buffer, but you do have to periodically call `freeBefore(int)`.
