Class AsyncFoldLeft

java.lang.Object

org.cometd.common.AsyncFoldLeft

public class AsyncFoldLeft
extends Object

Processes asynchronously a sequence of elements, producing a result that is the reduction of the results produced by the processing of each element.

This class implements the asynchronous version of the following synchronous for loop, but where the processing of each element may be asynchronous.

 R result;
 for (T element : list) {
     (result, proceed) = operation.apply(result, element);
     if (!proceed) {
         break;
     }
 }
 

Using this class, the loop above becomes:

 R zero;
 AsyncFoldLeft.run(list, zero, (result, element, loop) -> {
     CompletableFuture<R> future = processAsync(element);
     future.whenComplete((r, x) -> {
         if (x == null) {
             R reduced = reduce(result, r);
             if (shouldIterate(r)) {
                 loop.proceed(reduced);
             } else {
                 loop.leave(reduced);
             }
         } else {
             loop.fail(x);
         }
     })
 }, Promise.complete((r, x) -> {
     // Process final result or failure.
 });

Nested Classes

Modifier and Type	Class	Description
static interface	AsyncFoldLeft.Loop<R>	Controls the iteration over a sequence of elements, allowing to continue the iteration (with a result), break out of the iteration (with a result), or fail the iteration (with an exception).
static interface	AsyncFoldLeft.Operation<T,R>	The operation to invoke for each element.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description

Method Details

run

public static <T,
R> void run(T[] array,
 R zero,
 AsyncFoldLeft.Operation<T,R> operation,
 Promise<R> promise)

Processes the given array of elements.

Type Parameters:

T - the type of element

R - the type of the result

Parameters:

array - the elements to process

zero - the initial result

operation - the operation to invoke for each element

promise - the promise to notify of the final result

• run(Iterable, Object, Operation, Promise)

run

public static <T,
R> void run(Iterable<T> iterable,
 R zero,
 AsyncFoldLeft.Operation<T,R> operation,
 Promise<R> promise)

Processes the given sequence of elements.

The initial result zero is returned if the sequence is empty.

For each element the operation function is invoked.

The sequence should have a "stable" iterator, i.e. it should not be affected if the sequence is modified during the iteration, either concurrently by another thread, or by the same thread in the operation function.

Type Parameters:

T - the type of element

R - the type of the result

Parameters:

iterable - the elements to process

zero - the initial result

operation - the operation to invoke for each element

promise - the promise to notify of the final result

reverseRun

public static <T,
R> void reverseRun(List<T> list,
 R zero,
 AsyncFoldLeft.Operation<T,R> operation,
 Promise<R> promise)

Processes, in reverse order, the given sequence of elements.

Type Parameters:

T - the type of element

R - the type of the result

Parameters:

list - the elements to process

zero - the initial result

operation - the operation to invoke for each element

promise - the promise to notify of the final result
