RemoteChunk

public RemoteChunk(boolean exhausted,
                   IStreamSerializer<E[]> serializer,

Method Detail

getChunk

public E[] getChunk()

Description copied from interface: IRemoteChunk

The elements in the current chunk -or- null iff there are NO elements in the chunk.

Specified by:

getChunk in interface IRemoteChunk<E>

getKeyOrder

public IKeyOrder<E> getKeyOrder()

Description copied from interface: IRemoteChunk

The natural sort orded of the elements in this chunk -or- null if the elements are not in any known order.

Note: The returned value should be the same each time for a given source iterator. It is put here so that we can avoid an RMI for this property and the expense of serializing the value with each chunk.

Specified by:

getKeyOrder in interface IRemoteChunk<E>

isExhausted

public boolean isExhausted()

Description copied from interface: IRemoteChunk

true iff the iterator will not return any more chunks.

Specified by:

isExhausted in interface IRemoteChunk<E>
