    Modifier and Type | Method | Description
    --- | --- | ---
    `void` | `constructCache​(SolverScope<Solution_> solverScope)` |
    `void` | `disposeCache​(SolverScope<Solution_> solverScope)` |
    `SelectionCacheType` | `getCacheType()` | Unless this selector itself caches, this returns `SelectionCacheType.JUST_IN_TIME`, even if a selector child caches.
    `EntityDescriptor<Solution_>` | `getEntityDescriptor()` |
    `long` | `getSize()` | A random JIT `Selector` with `Selector.isNeverEnding()` true should return a size as if it would be able to return each distinct element only once, because the size can be used in `SelectionProbabilityWeightFactory`.
    `boolean` | `isCountable()` | If false, then `Selector.isNeverEnding()` is true.
    `boolean` | `isNeverEnding()` | Is true if `Selector.isCountable()` is false or if this selector is in random order (for most cases).

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### getEntityDescriptor

          public EntityDescriptor<Solution_> getEntityDescriptor()

      Specified by:
        `getEntityDescriptor` in interface `PillarSelector<Solution_>`
      Returns:
        never null

    - #### getCacheType

          public SelectionCacheType getCacheType()

      Description copied from interface: `Selector`
      Unless this selector itself caches, this returns `SelectionCacheType.JUST_IN_TIME`, even if a selector child caches.
      Specified by:
        `getCacheType` in interface `Selector<Solution_>`
      Overrides:
        `getCacheType` in class `AbstractSelector<Solution_>`
      Returns:
        never null

    - #### constructCache

          public void constructCache​(SolverScope<Solution_> solverScope)

      Specified by:
        `constructCache` in interface `SelectionCacheLifecycleListener<Solution_>`

    - #### disposeCache

          public void disposeCache​(SolverScope<Solution_> solverScope)

      Specified by:
        `disposeCache` in interface `SelectionCacheLifecycleListener<Solution_>`

    - #### isCountable

          public boolean isCountable()

      Description copied from interface: `Selector`
      If false, then `Selector.isNeverEnding()` is true.
      Specified by:
        `isCountable` in interface `Selector<Solution_>`
      Returns:
        true if all the `ValueRange`s are countable (for example a double value range between 1.2 and 1.4 is not countable)

    - #### isNeverEnding

          public boolean isNeverEnding()

      Description copied from interface: `Selector`
      Is true if `Selector.isCountable()` is false or if this selector is in random order (for most cases). Is never true when this selector is in shuffled order (which is less scalable but more exact).
      Specified by:
        `isNeverEnding` in interface `Selector<Solution_>`
      Returns:
        true if the `Iterator.hasNext()` of the `Iterator` created by `Iterable.iterator()` never returns false (except when it's empty).

    - #### getSize

          public long getSize()

      Description copied from interface: `IterableSelector`
      A random JIT `Selector` with `Selector.isNeverEnding()` true should return a size as if it would be able to return each distinct element only once, because the size can be used in `SelectionProbabilityWeightFactory`.
      Specified by:
        `getSize` in interface `IterableSelector<Solution_,​List<Object>>`
      Returns:
        the approximate number of elements generated by this `Selector`, always `>= 0`

    - #### iterator

          public Iterator<List<Object>> iterator()

      Specified by:
        `iterator` in interface `Iterable<Solution_>`

    - #### listIterator

          public ListIterator<List<Object>> listIterator()

      Specified by:
        `listIterator` in interface `ListIterable<Solution_>`
      Returns:
        never null, see `List.listIterator()`.
      See Also:
        `List.listIterator()`

    - #### listIterator

          public ListIterator<List<Object>> listIterator​(int index)

      Specified by:
        `listIterator` in interface `ListIterable<Solution_>`
      Parameters:
        `index` - lower than the size of this `ListIterable`, see `List.listIterator(int)`.
      Returns:
        never null, see `List.listIterator(int)`.
      See Also:
        `List.listIterator()`

    - #### toString

          public String toString()

      Overrides:
        `toString` in class `Object`
