Interface Series<T>

public interface Series<T>
extends java.lang.Iterable<Volatile<T>>

An infinite series of elements.

A series is a FIFO list of values where the values can be removed from the list before they have been added. An invocation of consume() returns a promise for what will be the next element in the list, once it is added, at which time it will already have been removed. ;)

Method Summary

Volatile<T>	consume() Removes the first element in the series.
void	produce(Volatile<T> value) Appends a value to the end of the series.
