Class FlowProcess<Config>

java.lang.Object

cascading.flow.FlowProcess<Config>

Direct Known Subclasses:

FlowProcess.NullFlowProcess, FlowProcessWrapper

public abstract class FlowProcess<Config>
extends java.lang.Object

FlowProcess implementations provide a call-back interface into the current computing system. Each Operation is given a reference to a particular implementation, allowing it to get configuration properties, send a "keep alive" ping, or to set a counter value.

Depending on the underlying system, FlowProcess instances are not continuous across all operations in a Flow. Thus, a call to increment(Enum, long) may start incrementing from zero if the operation making the call belongs to a subsequent 'job' or 'step' from any previous operations calling increment.

A FlowProcess is roughly a child of FlowSession. FlowSession is roughly one to one with a particular Flow. And every FlowSession will have one or more FlowProcesses.

This method will fail if the underlying counter infrastructure is unavailable. See isCounterStatusInitialized().

Parameters:
