Interface EventPoller

All Superinterfaces:

AutoCloseable, Closeable, net.openhft.chronicle.core.io.QueryCloseable

public interface EventPoller
extends net.openhft.chronicle.core.io.Closeable

The EventPoller interface defines a mechanism for polling events on a ChronicleChannel. It extends the Closeable interface, therefore any class implementing EventPoller must implement the close() method from the Closeable interface, which is used to release any system resources associated with the EventPoller.

Method Detail

onPoll

boolean onPoll(ChronicleChannel channel)

Polls for an event on the specified ChronicleChannel. This method should be invoked periodically to ensure the successful processing of events in a timely manner. Implementations of this method should handle all event processing logic.

Parameters:

channel - The ChronicleChannel instance to poll for events.

Returns:

a boolean indicating the outcome of the polling operation. It returns 'true' if the poll operation resulted in an event being processed, and 'false' if no event was available for processing, i.e. there was nothing to do.
