Method Detail

BroadcastChannel

public static <E> BroadcastChannel<E> BroadcastChannel(int capacity)

Creates a broadcast channel with the specified buffer capacity.

The resulting channel type depends on the specified capacity parameter:

• when capacity positive, but less than UNLIMITED -- creates ArrayBroadcastChannel with a buffer of given capacity. Note: this channel looses all items that are send to it until the first subscriber appears;

• when capacity is CONFLATED -- creates class ConflatedBroadcastChannel that conflates back-to-back sends;

• otherwise -- throws IllegalArgumentException.

Note: This is an experimental api. It may be changed in the future updates.
