Class AbstractProcessor.FlatMapper<T,R>

java.lang.Object
com.hazelcast.jet.core.AbstractProcessor.FlatMapper<T,R>
Type Parameters:
T - type of the input item
R - type of the emitted item
Enclosing class:
AbstractProcessor

protected final class AbstractProcessor.FlatMapper<T,R> extends Object
A helper that simplifies the implementation of tryProcess(ordinal, item) for emitting collections. User supplies a mapper which takes an item and returns a traverser over all output items that should be emitted. The tryProcess(Object) method obtains and passes the traverser to AbstractProcessor.emitFromTraverser(int, Traverser).

Example:

 public static class SplitWordsP extends AbstractProcessor {

    private FlatMapper<String, String> flatMapper =
             flatMapper(item -> Traverser.over(item.split("\\W")));

    @Override
     protected boolean tryProcess(int ordinal, Object item) throws Exception {
         return flatMapper.tryProcess((String) item);
     }
 }
