Interface Sink

All Superinterfaces:

Consumer<Event>

public interface Sink
extends Consumer<Event>

Used to dispatch Event's asynchronously for processing. The result of asynchronous processing can be obtained by subscribing to the Event's EventContext.

All Sinks must support concurrent calls from multiple publishers and it is then up to each implementation to determine how to handle this, i.e.

1. By continuing in the caller thread.
2. Serializing all events to a single thread.
3. Using a ring-buffer to de-multiplex requests and then handle them with 1..n subscribers.

Since:

4.0
