import java.util.Spliterator;
import java.util.function.IntFunction;

Helper class for executing stream pipelines, capturing all of the information about a stream pipeline (output shape, intermediate operations, stream flags, parallelism, etc) in one place.

A PipelineHelper describes the initial segment of a stream pipeline, including its source, intermediate operations, and may additionally incorporate information about the terminal (or stateful) operation which follows the last intermediate operation described by this PipelineHelper. The PipelineHelper is passed to the TerminalOp.evaluateParallel(PipelineHelper, Spliterator), TerminalOp.evaluateSequential(PipelineHelper, Spliterator), and AbstractPipeline.opEvaluateParallel(PipelineHelper, Spliterator, IntFunction), methods, which can use the PipelineHelper to access information about the pipeline such as head shape, stream flags, and size, and use the helper methods such as wrapAndCopyInto(Sink, Spliterator), copyInto(Sink, Spliterator), and wrapSink(Sink) to execute pipeline operations.

Type parameters:
  • <P_OUT> – type of output elements from the pipeline
Since:1.8

Returns the exact output size of the portion of the output resulting from applying the pipeline stages described by this PipelineHelper to the portion of the input described by the provided Spliterator, if known. If not known or known infinite, will return -1.
Params:
  • spliterator – the spliterator describing the relevant portion of the source data
API Note: The exact output size is known if the Spliterator has the SIZED characteristic, and the operation flags StreamOpFlag.SIZED is known on the combined stream and operation flags.

Pushes elements obtained from the Spliterator into the provided Sink. If the stream pipeline is known to have short-circuiting stages in it (see StreamOpFlag.SHORT_CIRCUIT), the Sink.cancellationRequested() is checked after each element, stopping if cancellation is requested.
Params:
  • wrappedSink – the destination Sink
  • spliterator – the source Spliterator
Implementation Requirements: This method conforms to the Sink protocol of calling Sink.begin before pushing elements, via Sink.accept, and calling Sink.end after all elements have been pushed.

Constructs a @{link Node.Builder} compatible with the output shape of this PipelineHelper.
Params:
  • exactSizeIfKnown – if >=0 then a builder will be created that has a fixed capacity of exactly sizeIfKnown elements; if < 0 then the builder has variable capacity. A fixed capacity builder will fail if an element is added after the builder has reached capacity.

Collects all output elements resulting from applying the pipeline stages to the source Spliterator into a Node.
Params:
  • spliterator – the source Spliterator
  • flatten – if true and the pipeline is a parallel pipeline then the Node returned will contain no children, otherwise the Node may represent the root in a tree that reflects the shape of the computation tree.
  • generator – a factory function for array instances
Implementation Note: If the pipeline has no intermediate operations and the source is backed by a Node then that Node will be returned (or flattened and then returned). This reduces copying for a pipeline consisting of a stateful operation followed by a terminal operation that returns an array, such as:

    stream.sorted().toArray();
Returns:the Node containing all output elements
