An intermediate operation has an input type and an output type (and, an associated input + * shape and output shape). An intermediate operation also has a set of operation flags that describes + * how the operation transforms characteristics of the stream (such as sortedness or size; see + * {@link StreamOpFlag}). + * + *
Intermediate operations are implemented in terms of sink transforms; given a {@code Sink} for the + * output type of the operation, produce a {@code Sink} for the input type of the operation, which, when fed with + * values, has the effect of implementing the desired operation on the input values and feeding them to the output + * sink. + * + *
Some intermediate operations are stateful. This means that the sinks they produce as a result of + * the above wrapping may maintain state from processing earlier elements. Stateful intermediate operations must + * implement the {@link StatefulOp} interface. + * + * @apiNote + * As an example, consider the stream pipeline: + *
+ * int oldestBob = people.stream().filter(p -> p.getFirstName.equals("Bob")).map(p -> p.getAge()).max(); + *+ * + *
This pipeline has two intermediate operations, filter and map. The filtering operation has input and output types + * of {@code Person} (with input and output shape of {@code REFERENCE}), and the mapping operation has an input + * type of {@code Person} and an output type of {@code Integer} (with shape {@code INT_VALUE}.) When we construct + * a sink chain, the mapping operation will be asked to transform a {@code Sink.OfInt} which computes the maximum + * value into a {@code Sink} which accepts {@code Person} objects, and whose behavior is to take the supplied + * {@code Person}, call {@code getAge()} on it, and pass the resulting value to the downstream sink. This sink + * transform might be implement as: + * + *
+ * new Sink.ChainedReference(sink) { + * public void accept(U u) { + * downstream.accept(mappingFunction.applyAsInt(u)); + * } + * } + *+ * + * @param
The implementation may use the {@code flags} parameter to optimize the sink wrapping. For example, if
+ * the input is already {@code DISTINCT}, the implementation for the {@code Stream#distinct()} method could
+ * just return the sink it was passed.
+ *
+ * @param flags The combined stream and operation flags up to, but not including, this operation.
+ * @param sink elements will be sent to this sink after the processing.
+ * @return a sink which will accept elements and perform the operation upon
+ * each element, passing the results (if any) to the provided {@code Sink}.
