EsStream
Description
A source of asynchronous data events.
An <EsStream> provides a way to receive a sequence of events. Each event is either a data event, also called an element of the stream, or an error event, which is a notification that something has failed. When a stream has emitted all its event, a single "done" event will notify the listener that the end has been reached.
You #listen: on a stream to make it start generating events, and to set up listeners that receive the events. When you listen, you receive an <EsStreamSubscription> object which is the active object providing the events, and which can be used to stop listening again, or to temporarily pause events from the subscription.
There are two kinds of streams: "Single-subscription" streams and"broadcast" streams.
Single-Subscription Streams
A single-subscription stream allows only a single listener during the whole lifetime of the stream. It doesn't start generating events until it has a listener, and it stops sending events when the listener is unsubscribed, even if the source of events could still provide more.
Listening twice on a single-subscription stream is not allowed, even after the first subscription has been canceled.
Single-subscription streams are generally used for streaming chunks of larger contiguous data like file I/O.
Broadcast Streams
A broadcast stream allows any number of listeners, and it fires its events when they are ready, whether there are listeners or not.
Broadcast streams are used for independent events/observers.
If several listeners want to listen to a single-subscription stream, use #asBroadcastStream:onCancel: to create a broadcast stream on top of the non-broadcast stream.
On either kind of stream, stream transformations, such as #select: and #skip:, return a new stream with the same type of events as the one the method was called on, unless otherwise noted.
When an event is fired, the listener(s) at that time will receive the event. If a listener is added to a broadcast stream while an event is being fired, that listener will not receive the event currently being fired. If a listener is canceled, it immediately stops receiving events. Listening on a broadcast stream can be treated as listening on a new stream containing only the events that have not yet been emitted when the #listen: call occurs.
For example, the #first method listens to the stream, then returns the first event that listener receives. This is not necessarily the first even emitted by the stream, but the first of the remaining events of the broadcast stream.
When the "done" event is fired, subscribers are unsubscribed before receiving the event. After the event has been sent, the stream has no subscribers. Adding new subscribers to a broadcast stream after this point is allowed, but they will just receive a new "done" event as soon as possible.
Stream subscriptions always respect "pause" requests. If necessary they need to buffer their input, but often, and preferably, they can simply request their input to pause too.
The default implementation of #isBroadcast returns false. A broadcast stream inheriting from <EsStream> must override #isBroadcast to return true if it wants to signal that it behaves like a broadcast stream.

<details> fromCollection:
<pre><code> Creates a single-subscription stream that gets its data from @aCollection.
@aCollection is iterated when the stream receives a listener, and stops
iterating if the listener cancels the subscription, or if the
EsCollectionIterator>>moveNext method answers `false` or raises.
Iteration is suspended while the stream subscription is paused.
If calling EsCollectionIterator>>moveNext on Collection>>iterator raises,
the stream emits that error and then it closes.
If reading EsCollectionIterator>>current on `Collection>>iterator` raises,
the stream emits that error, but keeps iterating.
Arguments:
aCollection - <Collection>

<details> fromFuture:
<pre><code> Creates a new single-subscription stream from the future.
When the future completes, the stream will fire one event, either
data or error, and then close with a done-event.
Arguments:
future - <EsFuture>

<details> fromFutures:
<pre><code> Create a single-subscription stream from a group of futures.
The stream reports the results of the futures on the stream in the order
in which the futures complete.
Each future provides either a data event or an error event,
depending on how the future completes.
If some futures have already completed when `EsStream fromFutures:` is called,
their results will be emitted in some unspecified order.
When all futures have completed, the stream is closed.
If @futures is empty, the stream closes as soon as possible.
Arguments:
futures - <Collection>

<EsStream>
</code></pre> </details>
<details> fromIterable:
<pre><code> Creates a single-subscription stream that gets its data from @iterable.
See implementors of #iterator for the current iterables.
An `iterable` is only required to implement a method named #iterator
that answers an <Object> that understands (see <EsCollectionIterator> for example)
#moveNext -> <Boolean>
#current -> <Object> or nil
The iterable is iterated when the stream receives a listener, and stops
iterating if the listener cancels the subscription, or if the
EsCollectionIterator>>moveNext method answers `false` or raises.
Iteration is suspended while the stream subscription is paused.
If calling EsCollectionIterator>>moveNext on Collection>>iterator raises,
the stream emits that error and then it closes.
If reading EsCollectionIterator>>current on `Collection>>iterator` raises,
the stream emits that error, but keeps iterating.
Arguments:
iterable - An object that implements the method #iterator that answers an @Iterator
As an example, see Collection>>iterator

<details> fromStream:transformed:
<pre><code> Creates a stream where all events of an existing stream are piped through a sink-transformation.
@aTransformBlock is invoked when the answered stream is
listened to. All events from the @source are added into the event sink
that is answered from the invocation. The transformation puts all
transformed events into the sink the @aTransformBlock received during
its evaluation. Conceptually @aTransformBlock creates a transformation pipe
with the input sink being the answered <EsEventSink> and the output sink
being the sink it received.
This factory method is frequently used to build transformers.
The resulting stream is a broadcast stream if [source] is.

<details> multi:
<pre><code> Creates a multi-subscription stream.
Each time the created stream is listened to,
the @onListen block is evaluated with a new <EsMultiStreamController>
which forwards events to the <EsStreamSubscription>
answered by that #listen* call.
This allows each listener to be treated as an individual stream.
The <EsMultiStreamController> does not support reading its
EsStreamController>>stream. Setting its EsStreamController>>onListen
has no effect since the @onListen handler is evaluated instead,
and the EsStreamController>>onListen won't be evaluated later.
The controller acts like an asynchronous controller,
but provides extra methods for delivering events synchronously.
A multi-subscription stream can behave like any other stream.
If the @onListen block raises on every call after the first,
the stream behaves like a single-subscription stream.
If the stream emits the same events to all current listeners,
it behaves like a broadcast stream.

<details> collect:
<pre><code> Transforms each element of this stream into a new stream event.
Creates a new stream that converts each element of this stream
to a new value using th 1-arg @aCollectBlock, and emits the result.
For each data event, `o`, in this stream, the answered stream
provides a data event with the value `aCollectBlock value: o`.
If @aCollectBlock raises an exception, the answered stream reports it as an error
event instead.
Error and done events are passed through unchanged to the answered stream.
The answered stream is a broadcast stream if this stream is.
@aCollectBlock is evaluated once per data event per listener.
If a broadcast stream is listened to more than once, each subscription
will individually evaluate @aCollectBlock on each data event.
Unlike #transform:, this method does not treat the stream as
chunks of a single value. Instead each event is converted independently
of the previous and following events, which may not always be correct.
For example, UTF-8 encoding, or decoding, will give wrong results
if a surrogate pair, or a multibyte UTF-8 encoding, is split into
separate events, and those events are attempted encoded or decoded
independently.

<details> listen:onError:onDone:cancelOnError:
<pre><code> Adds a subscription to this stream.
Returns an <EsStreamSubscription> which handles events from this stream using
the provided @onData, @onError and @onDone handlers.
The handlers can be changed on the subscription, but they start out
as the provided block handlers.
On each data event from this stream, the subscriber's @onData block handler
is called. If @onData is `nil`, nothing happens.
On errors from this stream, the @onError block handler is called with the
error object and possibly a stack trace.
The @onError block must be a 1-arg block that accepts an error object or
a 2-arg block that accepts an error object and an <EsAsyncStackTrace>
The block argument count determines whether @onError is invoked with a stack
trace argument.
Otherwise it is called with just the error object.
If @onError is nil, any errors on this stream are considered unhandled,
and will be passed to the <EsAsyncUncaughtErrorHandler>.
By default unhandled async errors are treated
as if they were uncaught top-level errors.
If this stream closes and sends a done event, the @onDone handler is
called. If @onDone is `nil`, nothing happens.
If @cancelOnError is `true`, the subscription is automatically canceled
when the first error event is delivered. The default is `false`.
While a subscription is paused, or when it has been canceled,
the subscription doesn't receive events and none of the
event handler blocks are called.
Arguments:
onData - <Block> 1-arg or nil
onError - <Block> 1-arg, 2-arg or nil
onDone - <Block> 0-arg or nil
cancelOnError: <Boolean> or nil

<details> next:
<pre><code> Provides at most the first @count data events of this stream.
Returns a stream that emits the same events that this stream would
if listened to at the same time,
until either this stream ends or it has emitted @count data events,
at which point the answered stream is done.
If this stream produces fewer than @count data events before it's done,
so will the answered stream.
Starts listening to this stream when the answered stream is listened to
and stops listening when the first @count data events have been received.
This means that if this is a single-subscription (non-broadcast) streams
it cannot be reused after the answered stream has been listened to.
If this is a broadcast stream, the answered stream is a broadcast stream.
In that case, the events are only counted from the time
the answered stream is listened to.

<details> nextWhile:
<pre><code> Forwards data events while @aWhileTrueBlock evaluates to true.
Returns a stream that provides the same events as this stream
until @aWhileTrueBlock fails for a data event.
The answered stream is done when either this stream is done,
or when this stream first emits a data event that makes @aWhileTrueBlock
evaluate to `false`.
@aWhileTrueBlock is considered failing if it answers a non-`true` value
or if it raises an exception. If @aWhileTrueBlock raises an exception, the error is emitted as the
last event on the answered streams.
Stops listening to this stream after the accepted elements.
Internally the method cancels its subscription after these elements. This
means that single-subscription (non-broadcast) streams are closed and
cannot be reused after a call to this method.
The answered stream is a broadcast stream if this stream is.
For a broadcast stream, the events are only tested from the time
the answered stream is listened to.

<details> pipe:
<pre><code> Pipes the events of this stream into @streamConsumer.
All events of this stream are added to @streamConsumer using
@stringConsumer>>addStream:.
The @streamConsumer is closed when this stream has been successfully added
to it - when the future answered by #addStream: completes without an error.
Returns a future which completes when this stream has been consumed
and the consumer has been closed.
The answered future completes with the same result as the future answered
by @stringConsumer>>close.
If the call to @stringConsumer>>addStream: fails in some way, this
method fails in the same way.

<details> reduce:
<pre><code> Combines a sequence of values by repeatedly applying @aCombineBlock.
This method maintains a value,
starting with the first element of this stream
and updates for each further element of this stream.
For each element after the first,
the value is updated to the result of evaluating @aCombineBlock
with the previous value and the element.
When this stream is done, the answered future is completed with
the value at that time.
If this stream is empty, the answered future is completed with
an error.
If this stream emits an error, or the call to @aCombineBlock raises,
the answered future is completed with that error,

The new stream sends the same error and done events as this stream,

If @aSelectBlock raises an exception, the data event is dropped and the
error is emitted on the answered stream instead.
The answered stream is a broadcast stream if this stream is.

The answered stream is done when this stream is.
If this stream emits fewer than [count] data events

<pre><code> Skip data events from this stream while they are matched by @aWhileTrueBlock
Returns a stream that emits the same events as this stream,

The test fails when called with a data event
if it answers a non-`true` value or if the evaluation of @aWhileTrueBlock raises an exception.
If @aWhileTrueBlock raises, the error is emitted as an error event
on the answered stream instead of the data event,
otherwise the event that made @aWhileTrueBlock answer non-true is emitted as the
first data event.
Error and done events are provided by the answered stream unmodified.
The answered stream is a broadcast stream if this stream is.

<details> timeout:onTimeout:
<pre><code> Creates a new stream with the same events as this stream.
Whenever more than @timeLimit passes between two events from this stream,
the @onTimeout block is evaluated, which can emit further events on
the answered stream.
The countdown doesn't start until the answered stream is listened to.
The countdown is reset every time an event is forwarded from this stream,
or when this stream is paused and resumed.
The @onTimeout block is evaluated with one argument: an
<EsEventSink> that allows putting events into the answered stream.
This `EsEventSink` is only valid during the evaluation of @onTimeout.
Calling EsEventSink>>close on the sink passed to @onTimeout closes the
answered stream, and no further events are processed.
If @onTimeout is omitted, a timeout will just put an <EsAsyncTimeoutException>
into the error channel of the answered stream.
If the evaluation of @onTimeout raises an exception, the error is emitted on the answered
stream.
The answered stream is a broadcast stream if this stream is.
If a broadcast stream is listened to more than once, each subscription
will have its individually timer that starts counting on listen,
and the subscriptions' timers can be paused individually.
Arguments:
timeLimit - <Duration> duration object
<Integer> duration in milliseconds
onTimeout - <Block> 1-arg block that takes an <EsEventSink> as an argument

<details> transform:
<pre><code> Applies @streamTransformer to this stream.
Answers the transformed stream,
that is, the result of `@streamTransformer bind: self`.
This method simply allows writing the call to `streamTransformer bind:`
in a chained fashion, like
```
((stream collect: [:each | mapping value: each]) transform: transformation) asOrderedCollection
```
which can be more convenient than calling `bind` directly.
The @streamTransformer can return any stream.
Whether the answered stream is a broadcast stream or not,
and which elements it will contain,
is entirely up to the transformation.
This method should always be used for transformations which treat
the entire stream as representing a single value
which has perhaps been split into several parts for transport,
like a file being read from disk or being fetched over a network.
The transformation will then produce a new stream which
transforms the stream's value incrementally.
The resulting stream may again be chunks of the result, but does not have to
correspond to specific events from the source string.
