Class MergeGroupingIterator

    • Method Detail

      • getSnapShot

        public ManualGroupIterator getSnapShot​(XPathContext context)
        Description copied from interface: GroupIterator
        Get a pseudo-iterator which represents a snapshot of this sequence at the current position
        Specified by:
        getSnapShot in interface GroupIterator
        Parameters:
        context - the XPath context
        Returns:
        the snapshot sequence
      • supportsHasNext

        public boolean supportsHasNext()
        Description copied from interface: LookaheadIterator
        Ask whether the hasNext() method can be called. This method must be called before calling hasNext(), because some iterators implement this interface, but only support look-ahead under particular circumstances (this is usually because they delegate to another iterator)
        Specified by:
        supportsHasNext in interface LookaheadIterator
        Returns:
        true if the LookaheadIterator.hasNext() method is available
      • hasNext

        public boolean hasNext()
        Description copied from interface: LookaheadIterator
        Determine whether there are more items to come. Note that this operation is stateless and it is not necessary (or usual) to call it before calling next(). It is used only when there is an explicit need to tell if we are at the last element.

        This method must not be called unless the result of LookaheadIterator.supportsHasNext() is true.

        Specified by:
        hasNext in interface LookaheadIterator
        Returns:
        true if there are more items in the sequence
      • next

        public Item next()
        Description copied from interface: SequenceIterator
        Get the next item in the sequence. This method changes the state of the iterator.
        Specified by:
        next in interface SequenceIterator
        Returns:
        the next item, or null if there are no more items. Once a call on next() has returned null, no further calls should be made. The preferred action for an iterator if subsequent calls on next() are made is to return null again, and all implementations within Saxon follow this rule.
      • close

        public void close()
        Description copied from interface: SequenceIterator
        Close the iterator. This indicates to the supplier of the data that the client does not require any more items to be delivered by the iterator. This may enable the supplier to release resources. After calling close(), no further calls on the iterator should be made; if further calls are made, the effect of such calls is undefined.

        For example, the iterator returned by the unparsed-text-lines() function has a close() method that causes the underlying input stream to be closed, whether or not the file has been read to completion.

        Closing an iterator is important when the data is being "pushed" in another thread. Closing the iterator terminates that thread and means that it needs to do no additional work. Indeed, failing to close the iterator may cause the push thread to hang waiting for the buffer to be emptied.

        Closing an iterator is not necessary if the iterator is read to completion: if a call on SequenceIterator.next() returns null, the iterator will be closed automatically. An explicit call on SequenceIterator.close() is needed only when iteration is abandoned prematurely.

        It is not possible to guarantee that an iterator that is not read to completion or will be closed. For example, if a lazy-evaluated variable $var is passed to a user-written function, the function may access $var[1] only; we have no way of knowing whether further items will be read. For this reason, any SequenceIterator that holds resources which need to be closed should use the Cleaner mechanism. The Configuration holds a Cleaner, and resources held by a SequenceIterator should be registered with the Cleaner; if the SequenceIterator is then garbage-collected without being closed, the Cleaner will ensure that the underlying resources are closed. (An example of a SequenceIterator that uses this mechanism is the UnparsedTextIterator).

        Specified by:
        close in interface java.lang.AutoCloseable
        Specified by:
        close in interface java.io.Closeable
        Specified by:
        close in interface SequenceIterator
      • getLength

        public int getLength()
        Description copied from interface: LastPositionFinder
        Get the last position (that is, the number of items in the sequence). This method is non-destructive: it does not change the state of the iterator. The result is undefined if the next() method of the iterator has already returned null. This method must not be called unless the LastPositionFinder.supportsGetLength() has been called and has returned true.
        Specified by:
        getLength in interface LastPositionFinder
        Returns:
        the number of items in the sequence
      • getCurrentGroupingKey

        public AtomicSequence getCurrentGroupingKey()
        Description copied from interface: GroupIterator
        Get the grouping key of the current group
        Specified by:
        getCurrentGroupingKey in interface GroupIterator
        Returns:
        the current grouping key in the case of group-by or group-adjacent, or null in the case of group-starting-with and group-ending-with
      • currentGroup

        public GroundedValue currentGroup()
                                   throws XPathException
        Description copied from interface: GroupIterator
        Get a sequence containing the members of the current group, in population order. This may be a MemoSequence rather than a grounded value
        Specified by:
        currentGroup in interface GroupIterator
        Returns:
        a sequence containing all the members of the current group, in population order.
        Throws:
        XPathException - if a dynamic error occurs
      • iterateCurrentGroup

        public SequenceIterator iterateCurrentGroup​(java.lang.String source)
