Interface EntityListConsumer<E,R>

Type Parameters:

E - the entity type yielded by the query, as determined by which Select factory method was used

R - the result type that the consumer will return once all entities have been accepted

public interface EntityListConsumer<E,R>

Provide an entity list consumer to SelectQuery.ExecutionContext.consumeWith(EntityListConsumer) to accept a stream of results from the entity engine.

Note that use of this interface is not sufficient to guarantee streaming behaviour on all database types. Some implementations (MySQL and Postgres in particular) have special requirements regarding transaction state and fetch size to make that work. If you need an example of how to do this, see DefaultSaxEntitiesExporter.

Since:

v5.2
