Interface CloseableIterator<T>

Type Parameters:

T -

All Superinterfaces:

AutoCloseable, Closeable, Iterator<T>

public interface CloseableIterator<T>
extends Iterator<T>, Closeable

A CloseableIterator serves as a bridging data structure for the underlying data store specific results that can be wrapped in a Java 8 java.util.stream.Stream. This allows implementations to clean up any resources they need to keep open to iterate over elements.

spliterator

default Spliterator<T> spliterator()

Create a Spliterator over the elements provided by this Iterator. Implementations should document characteristic values reported by the spliterator. Such characteristic values are not required to be reported if the spliterator reports Spliterator.SIZED and this collection contains no elements.

The default implementation should be overridden by subclasses that can return a more efficient spliterator. To preserve expected laziness behavior for the stream() method, spliterators should either have the characteristic of IMMUTABLE or CONCURRENT, or be late-binding.

The default implementation does not report a size.

Returns:

a Spliterator over the elements in this Iterator.

stream

default Stream<T> stream()

Return a sequential Stream with this Iterator as its source. The resulting stream calls close() when closed. The resulting Stream must be closed after use, it can be declared as a resource in a try-with-resources statement.

This method should be overridden when the spliterator() method cannot return a spliterator that is IMMUTABLE, CONCURRENT, or late-binding. (See spliterator() for details.)

Returns:

a sequential Stream over the elements in this Iterator.
