Class OrPredicate

java.lang.Object
  com.linkedin.data.it.OrPredicate

All Implemented Interfaces:

Predicate

public class OrPredicate
extends java.lang.Object
implements Predicate

Evaluate if any of the Predicate's is true.

If there are no Predicate's to evaluate, then this predicate returns false. Furthermore, the predicates are evaluated in the order they are provided, once a predicate evaluates to true, the remaining predicates are not evaluated, i.e. the semantics is similar to ||.
