Interface Flow.Subscription

Enclosing class:: Flow

public static interface Flow.Subscription

Message control linking a Flow.Publisher and Flow.Subscriber. Subscribers receive items only when requested, and may cancel at any time. The methods in this interface are intended to be invoked only by their Subscribers; usages in other contexts have undefined effects.

Method Summary

All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`void`	`cancel()`	Causes the Subscriber to (eventually) stop receiving messages.
`void`	`request(long n)`	Adds the given number `n` of items to the current unfulfilled demand for this subscription.

Method Detail

request

void request(long n)

Adds the given number n of items to the current unfulfilled demand for this subscription. If n is less than or equal to zero, the Subscriber will receive an onError signal with an IllegalArgumentException argument. Otherwise, the Subscriber will receive up to n additional onNext invocations (or fewer if terminated).

Parameters:: n - the increment of demand; a value of Long.MAX_VALUE may be considered as effectively unbounded

cancel

void cancel()

Causes the Subscriber to (eventually) stop receiving messages. Implementation is best-effort -- additional messages may be received after invoking this method. A cancelled subscription need not ever receive an onComplete or onError signal.
