  • Method Details

    • read

      public Event read() throws IOException
      Description copied from interface: ObjectStream
      Returns the next ObjectStream object. Calling this method repeatedly until it returns null will return each object from the underlying source exactly once.
      Specified by:
      read in interface ObjectStream<Event>
      Returns:
      The next object or null to signal that the stream is exhausted.
      Throws:
      IOException - Thrown if there is an error during reading.
    • close

      public void close() throws IOException
      Description copied from interface: ObjectStream
      Closes the ObjectStream and releases all allocated resources. After close was called, it's not allowed to call ObjectStream.read() or ObjectStream.reset().
      Specified by:
      close in interface AutoCloseable
      Specified by:
      close in interface ObjectStream<Event>
      Throws:
      IOException - Thrown if there is an error during closing the stream.
    • toLine

      public static String toLine(Event event)
      Generates a string representing the specified event.
      Parameters:
      event - The Event for which a string representation is needed.
      Returns:
      A string representing the specified event.
    • reset

      public void reset() throws IOException, UnsupportedOperationException
      Description copied from interface: ObjectStream
      Repositions the stream at the beginning and the previously seen object sequence will be repeated exactly. This method can be used to re-read the stream if multiple passes over the objects are required.

      The implementation of this method is optional.

      Specified by:
      reset in interface ObjectStream<Event>
      Throws:
      IOException - Thrown if there is an error during resetting the stream.
      UnsupportedOperationException - Thrown if the reset() is not supported. By default, this is the case.
