Interface ChangesFeed

All Known Implementing Classes:

ContinuousChangesFeed

public interface ChangesFeed

ChangesFeed listens to the _changes feed in a CouchDB database. Feeds are created by calling the method changesFeed(ChangesCommand cmd) in CouchDbConnector. An active feed buffers incoming changes in a unbounded queue that will grow until OutOfMemoryException if not polled.
