import java.util.Iterator;
import java.util.NoSuchElementException;

Provides a merged sorted view from several sorted iterators.

If built with removeDuplicates set to true and an element appears in multiple iterators then it is deduplicated, that is this iterator returns the sorted union of elements.

If built with removeDuplicates set to false then all elements in all iterators are returned.

Caveats:

  • The behavior is undefined if the iterators are not actually sorted.
  • Null elements are unsupported.
  • If removeDuplicates is set to true and if a single iterator contains duplicates then they will not be deduplicated.
  • When elements are deduplicated it is not defined which one is returned.
  • If removeDuplicates is set to false then the order in which duplicates are returned isn't defined.
