15 * Interrelated interfaces and static methods for establishing
16 * flow-controlled components in which {@link Publisher Publishers}
17 * produce items consumed by one or more {@link Subscriber
18 * Subscribers}, each managed by a {@link Subscription
19 * Subscription}.
20 *
21 * <p>These interfaces correspond to the <a
22 * href="http://www.reactive-streams.org/"> reactive-streams</a>
23 * specification. They apply in both concurrent and distributed
24 * asynchronous settings: All (seven) methods are defined in {@code
25 * void} "one-way" message style. Communication relies on a simple form
26 * of flow control (method {@link Subscription#request}) that can be
27 * used to avoid resource management problems that may otherwise occur
28 * in "push" based systems.
29 *
30 * <p><b>Examples.</b> A {@link Publisher} usually defines its own
31 * {@link Subscription} implementation; constructing one in method
32 * {@code subscribe} and issuing it to the calling {@link
33 * Subscriber}. It publishes items to the subscriber asynchronously,
34 * normally using an {@link Executor}. For example, here is a very
35 * simple publisher that only issues (when requested) a single {@code
36 * TRUE} item to a single subscriber. Because the subscriber receives
37 * only a single item, this class does not use buffering and ordering
38 * control required in most implementations (for example {@link
39 * SubmissionPublisher}).
40 *
41 * <pre> {@code
42 * class OneShotPublisher implements Publisher<Boolean> {
43 * private final ExecutorService executor = ForkJoinPool.commonPool(); // daemon-based
44 * private boolean subscribed; // true after first subscribe
45 * public synchronized void subscribe(Subscriber<? super Boolean> subscriber) {
46 * if (subscribed)
47 * subscriber.onError(new IllegalStateException()); // only one allowed
48 * else {
49 * subscribed = true;
50 * subscriber.onSubscribe(new OneShotSubscription(subscriber, executor));
51 * }
52 * }
53 * static class OneShotSubscription implements Subscription {
54 * private final Subscriber<? super Boolean> subscriber;
55 * private final ExecutorService executor;
56 * private Future<?> future; // to allow cancellation
57 * private boolean completed;
58 * OneShotSubscription(Subscriber<? super Boolean> subscriber,
59 * ExecutorService executor) {
60 * this.subscriber = subscriber;
61 * this.executor = executor;
62 * }
63 * public synchronized void request(long n) {
64 * if (n != 0 && !completed) {
65 * completed = true;
66 * if (n < 0) {
67 * IllegalArgumentException ex = new IllegalArgumentException();
68 * executor.execute(() -> subscriber.onError(ex));
69 * } else {
70 * future = executor.submit(() -> {
71 * subscriber.onNext(Boolean.TRUE);
72 * subscriber.onComplete();
73 * });
74 * }
75 * }
76 * }
77 * public synchronized void cancel() {
78 * completed = true;
79 * if (future != null) future.cancel(false);
80 * }
81 * }
82 * }}</pre>
83 *
84 * <p>A {@link Subscriber} arranges that items be requested and
85 * processed. Items (invocations of {@link Subscriber#onNext}) are
86 * not issued unless requested, but multiple items may be requested.
87 * Many Subscriber implementations can arrange this in the style of
88 * the following example, where a buffer size of 1 single-steps, and
89 * larger sizes usually allow for more efficient overlapped processing
90 * with less communication; for example with a value of 64, this keeps
91 * total outstanding requests between 32 and 64.
92 * Because Subscriber method invocations for a given {@link
93 * Subscription} are strictly ordered, there is no need for these
94 * methods to use locks or volatiles unless a Subscriber maintains
95 * multiple Subscriptions (in which case it is better to instead
96 * define multiple Subscribers, each with its own Subscription).
97 *
98 * <pre> {@code
99 * class SampleSubscriber<T> implements Subscriber<T> {
100 * final Consumer<? super T> consumer;
101 * Subscription subscription;
102 * final long bufferSize;
103 * long count;
104 * SampleSubscriber(long bufferSize, Consumer<? super T> consumer) {
105 * this.bufferSize = bufferSize;
106 * this.consumer = consumer;
107 * }
108 * public void onSubscribe(Subscription subscription) {
109 * long initialRequestSize = bufferSize;
110 * count = bufferSize - bufferSize / 2; // re-request when half consumed
111 * (this.subscription = subscription).request(initialRequestSize);
112 * }
113 * public void onNext(T item) {
114 * if (--count <= 0)
115 * subscription.request(count = bufferSize - bufferSize / 2);
116 * consumer.accept(item);
117 * }
118 * public void onError(Throwable ex) { ex.printStackTrace(); }
119 * public void onComplete() {}
120 * }}</pre>
121 *
122 * <p>The default value of {@link #defaultBufferSize} may provide a
123 * useful starting point for choosing request sizes and capacities in
124 * Flow components based on expected rates, resources, and usages.
125 * Or, when flow control is never needed, a subscriber may initially
126 * request an effectively unbounded number of items, as in:
127 *
128 * <pre> {@code
129 * class UnboundedSubscriber<T> implements Subscriber<T> {
130 * public void onSubscribe(Subscription subscription) {
131 * subscription.request(Long.MAX_VALUE); // effectively unbounded
132 * }
133 * public void onNext(T item) { use(item); }
134 * public void onError(Throwable ex) { ex.printStackTrace(); }
135 * public void onComplete() {}
136 * void use(T item) { ... }
137 * }}</pre>
138 *
