Annotation Type Streaming

@Target(value={METHOD,TYPE})
 @Retention(value=RUNTIME)
 @Documented
public @interface Streaming

Intended to be used on operation methods and implementations of Source, this annotation indicates that such component supports streaming.

The runtime can automatically infer that when the return type is a InputStream, but there're corner cases in which the return type is of some other abstraction type and thus this has to be manually hinted.

Using this annotation on components which return InputStream is redundant yet harmless.
