Class EvaluatorState

java.lang.Object

org.apache.nifi.attribute.expression.language.evaluation.EvaluatorState

public class EvaluatorState
extends Object

A storage mechanism for Evaluators to stash invalid input: '&' retrieve state. While most Evaluators are stateless, some must maintain state, for instance to iterate over many Attributes. By stashing that state and retrieving it from this EvaluatorState instead of using member variables, Evaluators are able to be kept both threadsafe and in-and-of-themselves stateless, which means that new Evaluators need not be created for each iteration of the function.
