Interface RemoteAsynchronousIterator<E>

Type Parameters:

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

All Superinterfaces:

Remote

All Known Implementing Classes:

RemoteAsynchronousIteratorImpl

public interface RemoteAsynchronousIterator<E>
extends Remote

Remote interface declaring the API of IAsynchronousIterator but also declaring that each methods throws IOException in order to be compatible with Remote and Exporter. Of course, this means that this interface can not extend IAsynchronousIterator!

Note: In practice, IAsynchronousIterators are declared with an array type. There are two main uses: transferring IBindingSet[]s between JoinTasks and transferring ISolution[]s from the last join dimension back to the client.
