Interface AcceptingData<T>

Type Parameters:

T - tset type

All Known Subinterfaces:

BatchRowTSet, BatchTSet<T>, BatchTupleTSet<K,V>

All Known Implementing Classes:

BatchRowTSetImpl, BatchTSetImpl, BatchTupleTSetImpl, CachedTSet, CheckpointedTSet, ComputeTSet, KeyedCachedTSet, KeyedCheckpointedTSet, KeyedPersistedTSet, KeyedSourceTSet, KeyedStoredTSet, KeyedTSet, PersistedTSet, RowCachedTSet, RowCheckpointedTSet, RowComputeTSet, RowPersistedTSet, RowSinkTSet, RowSourceTSet, RowStoredTSet, SinkTSet, SourceTSet, StoredTSet

public interface AcceptingData<T>

Adds the capability for TSets to accept data from another TSet as an input. Only the Batch TSets can accept inputs.

This remains as a separate interface because SinkTSet behaves differently to all other BatchTSets. i.e. It does not expose any communication operations. But a SinkTSet needs to be able to accept data from another TSet. Therefore, that capability was separated out.
