Interface IRemoteChunkedIterator<E>

Type Parameters:

E - The generic type of the elements visited by the source iterator.

All Superinterfaces:

Remote

All Known Implementing Classes:

RemoteChunkedIterator

public interface IRemoteChunkedIterator<E>
extends Remote

Interface for objects proxying for asynchronous chunked iterators. This is used to export iterators. We wrap an IChunkedIterator with an object that implements this interface, and then export a proxy for that object. On the client, we wrap the proxy so as to hide the IOExceptions and regain our original interface signature.
