CollectionWriterPipe (org.pipecraft.pipes:pipes-core 0.9 API)

java.lang.Object
- org.pipecraft.pipes.terminal.TerminalPipe
- - org.pipecraft.pipes.terminal.CollectionWriterPipe<T>

All Implemented Interfaces:

Closeable, AutoCloseable, BasePipe
```
public class CollectionWriterPipe<T>
extends TerminalPipe
```
A terminal pipe writing all contents from an input pipe into a given collection. Thread safety: It's the responsibility of the caller to make sure access to the output collection is thread safe. For example, if the collection itself is thread safe, or if a single thread creates, runs and queries the results (using getItems()) then there's no concurrency problem.

    Description copied from interface: BasePipe
    
    Performs pre-processing prior to item flow throw the pipe. Implementations must call the same method for all their input pipes before accessing their items. This is typically done here.
    
    Throws:
    
    PipeException - In case of pipe errors in this pipe or somewhere up-stream.
    
    InterruptedException - In case that the operation has been interrupted by another thread.
  - getItems
```
public Collection<T> getItems()
```
    Returns:
    
    The collection given in the constructor
