Interrelated interfaces and static methods for establishing flow-
controlled components in which Publishers produce items
consumed by one or more Subscribers, each managed by a
Subscription.
These interfaces correspond to the reactive-streams specification.
They apply in both concurrent and distributed asynchronous
settings: All (seven) methods are defined in void "one-way"
message style. Communication relies on a simple form of flow
control (method Flow.Subscription.request(long)) that can be used
to avoid resource management problems that may otherwise occur
in "push" based systems.
Examples. A Flow.Publisher usually defines its own
Flow.Subscription implementation; constructing one in method
subscribe and issuing it to the calling Flow.Subscriber. It publishes
items to the subscriber asynchronously, normally using an
Executor. For example, here is a very simple publisher that only
issues (when requested) a single TRUE item to a single
subscriber. Because the subscriber receives only a single item,
this class does not use buffering and ordering control required in
most implementations (for example SubmissionPublisher).
用于建立流控制组件的相互关联的接口和静态方法，其中Publishers生产由一个或多个Subscribers使用的元素，Subscriber由Subscription管理。
这些接口对应于reactive-streams规范。它们适用于并发和分布式异步环境：所有（七种）方法都以void“单向”消息样式定义。通信依赖于简单形式的流控制（方法Flow.Subscription.request(long)），可用于避免在“基于推送”的系统中可能发生的资源管理问题。
例子。 Flow.Publisher通常定义自己的Flow.Subscription实现；在方法subscribe中构造一个并将其发布到调用Flow.Subscriber。它通常使用Executor异步地向订阅者发布items。例如，这是一个非常简单的发布者，它只向单个订阅者发出（如果请求）单个TRUE元素。由于订阅者只接收单个元素，因此该类不使用大多数实现中所需的缓冲和排序控制（例如SubmissionPublisher）。
class OneShotPublisher implements Publisher<Boolean> {
private final ExecutorService executor = ForkJoinPool.commonPool(); // daemon-based
private boolean subscribed; // true after first subscribe
public synchronized void subscribe(Subscriber<? super Boolean> subscriber) {
if (subscribed)
subscriber.onError(new IllegalStateException()); // only one allowed
else {
subscribed = true;
subscriber.onSubscribe(new OneShotSubscription(subscriber, executor));
}
}
static class OneShotSubscription implements Subscription {
private final Subscriber<? super Boolean> subscriber;
private final ExecutorService executor;
private Future<?> future; // to allow cancellation
private boolean completed;
OneShotSubscription(Subscriber<? super Boolean> subscriber,
ExecutorService executor) {
this.subscriber = subscriber;
this.executor = executor;
}
public synchronized void request(long n) {
if (n != 0 && !completed) {
completed = true;
if (n < 0) {
IllegalArgumentException ex = new IllegalArgumentException();
executor.execute(() -> subscriber.onError(ex));
} else {
future = executor.submit(() -> {
subscriber.onNext(Boolean.TRUE);
subscriber.onComplete();
});
}
}
}
public synchronized void cancel() {
completed = true;
if (future != null) future.cancel(false);
}
}
}
A Flow.Subscriber arranges that items be requested and
processed. Items (invocations of Flow.Subscriber.onNext(T)) are
not issued unless requested, but multiple items may be requested.
Many Subscriber implementations can arrange this in the style of
the following example, where a buffer size of 1 single-steps, and
larger sizes usually allow for more efficient overlapped processing
with less communication; for example with a value of 64, this
keeps total outstanding requests between 32 and 64. Because
Subscriber method invocations for a given Flow.Subscription are
strictly ordered, there is no need for these methods to use locks or
volatiles unless a Subscriber maintains multiple Subscriptions (in
which case it is better to instead define multiple Subscribers, each
with its own Subscription).
Flow.Subscriber安排要请求和处理的元素。 除非请求，否则不会发出元素（Flow.Subscriber.onNext(T)的调用），但可能会请求多个元素。 许多订阅者实现可以按照以下示例的样式进行排列，其中缓冲区大小为1个单步，而较大的大小通常允许更有效的重叠处理和更少的通信; 例如，值为64，这使得未完成的请求总数保持在32到64之间。由于对给定Flow.Subscription的订阅者方法调用是严格排序的，因此除非订阅者维护多个订阅，否则这些方法不需要使用锁或volatile。 （在多个订阅情况下，最好定义多个Subscribers，每个订阅者都有自己的Subscription）。
class SampleSubscriber<T> implements Subscriber<T> {
final Consumer<? super T> consumer;
Subscription subscription;
final long bufferSize;
long count;
SampleSubscriber(long bufferSize, Consumer<? super T> consumer) {
this.bufferSize = bufferSize;
this.consumer = consumer;
}
public void onSubscribe(Subscription subscription) {
long initialRequestSize = bufferSize;
count = bufferSize - bufferSize / 2; // re-request when half consumed
(this.subscription = subscription).request(initialRequestSize);
}
public void onNext(T item) {
if (--count <= 0)
subscription.request(count = bufferSize - bufferSize / 2);
consumer.accept(item);
}
public void onError(Throwable ex) { ex.printStackTrace(); }
public void onComplete() {}
}
The default value of defaultBufferSize() may provide a useful
starting point for choosing request sizes and capacities in Flow
components based on expected rates, resources, and usages. Or,
when flow control is never needed, a subscriber may initially
request an effectively unbounded number of items, as in:
defaultBufferSize()的默认值可以提供一个有用的起点，用于根据预期的速率、资源和用法选择Flow组件中的请求大小和容量。 或者，当从不需要流量控制时，subscriber最初可以请求有效无限数量的元素，如：
class UnboundedSubscriber<T> implements Subscriber<T> {
public void onSubscribe(Subscription subscription) {
subscription.request(Long.MAX_VALUE); // effectively unbounded
}
public void onNext(T item) { use(item); }
public void onError(Throwable ex) { ex.printStackTrace(); }
public void onComplete() {}
void use(T item) { ... }
}

3.Pull、Push和Pull-Push模式（处理数据模式）
- pull-based。client端不断轮询服务端以获取数据。这种模式的优点是当client端资源有限时可以更好的控制数据流（停止轮询），而缺点是当服务端没有数据时轮询是对计算资源和网络资源的浪费。
- push-based，生产者不关心消费者的消费能力，直接推送数据。这种模式的缺点是当消费资源低于生产资源时会造成缓冲区溢出从而数据丢失，当丢失率维持在较小的数值时还可以接受，但是当这个比率变大时我们会希望生产者降速以避免大规模数据丢失。
- 响应式编程是一种pull-push混合模式以综合他们的优点，这种模式下消费者负责请求数据以控制生产者数据流，同时当处理资源不足时也可以选择阻断或者丢弃数据。
要指出是，当消费速度低于生产速度时，消费者要求生产者降低速度以完全消费数据（这个现象称作back-pressure）。
4.Flow与Stream
- Java8中引入的StreamAPI通过map、reduce以及其他操作可以完美的处理数据集
- FlowAPI则专注于处理数据的流通，比如对数据的请求，减速，丢弃，阻塞等。reactive streams不仅兼容传统编程方式，而且还支持函数式编程以极大的提高可读性和可维护性。
- 从技术上讲，我们完全可以使用Flows来替换Streams，但任何时候都这么做就显得过于偏激。比如，我们创建一个Publisher来作为int数组的数据源，然后在Processor中转换Integer为String，最后创建一个Subscriber来归并到一个String中。这个时候就完全没有必要使用Flows，因为这不是在控制两个模块或两个线程间的数据通信，这个时候使用Streams更为合理。
总之，Flow更关注于通信处理，Stream更关注于数据处理。
5.杂志出版商示例
- 假设出版商有两个订阅客户
- 出版商将为每个订阅客户出版20本杂志。出版商知道他们的客户有时在邮递杂志时会不在家，而当他们的邮箱（subscriber buffer）不巧被塞满时邮递员会退回或丢弃杂志，出版商不希望出现这种情况。
- 于是出版商发明了一个邮递系统：当客户在家时再给出版商致电，出版商会立即邮递一份杂志。出版商打算在办公室为每个客户保留一个小号的邮箱以防当杂志出版时客户没有第一时间致电获取。出版商认为为每个客户预留一个可以容纳8份杂志的邮件已经足够（publisher buffer）
总结场景：
- 如果客户请求杂志足够迅速，将不会存在邮箱容量的问题。
- 如果客户没有以杂志出版的速度发出请求，那么邮箱将被塞满。这位员工提出以下几种处理方案：
a. 增加邮箱容量，为每位客户提供可容纳20份杂志的邮箱。（publisher增加buffer）
b. 直到客户请求下一份杂志之前停止印刷，并且根据客户请求的速度降低印刷速度以清空邮箱。
c. 新的杂志直接丢掉。
d. 一个折中的方案： 如果邮箱满了，在下次打印之前等待一段时间，如果还是没有足够的空间则丢弃新的杂志。
最终选择了方案d。

MagazineSubscriber中的方法：
- onSubscriber(subscription) Publisher在被指定一个新的Subscriber时调用此方法。 一般来说你需要在subscriber内部保存这个subscrition实例，因为后面会需要通过她向publisher发送信号来完成：请求更多数据，或者取消订阅。 一般在这里我们会直接请求第一个数据，正如代码中所示。
- onNext(magazineNumber) 每当新的数据产生，这个方法会被调用。在我们的示例中，我们用到了最经典的使用方式：处理这个数据的同时再请求下一个数据。然而我们在这中间添加了一段可配置的sleep时间，这样我们可以尝试订阅者在不同场景下的表现。剩下的一段逻辑判断仅仅是记录下丢失的杂志（当publisher出现丢弃数据的时候）。
- onError(throwable) 当publisher出现异常时会调用subscriber的这个方法。在我们的实现中publisher丢弃数据时会产生异常。
- onComplete() 当publisher数据推送完毕时会调用此方法，于是整个订阅过程结束。

使用Java9 SubmissionPublisher类来创建publisher。正如javadoc所述， 当subscribers消费过慢，就像Reactive Streams中的Publisher一样她会阻塞或丢弃数据。
main()方法中使用不同参数调用以上逻辑三次，以模拟之前介绍的三种不同真是场景。
- 消费者消费速度很快，publisher缓存区不会发生问题。
- 其中一个消费者速度很慢，以至缓存被填满，然而缓存区足够大以容纳所有所有数据，不会发生丢弃。
- 其中一个消费者速度很慢，同时缓存区不够大。会发生丢失且情况。
