tower-batch 0.1.0

#![allow(clippy::type_complexity)]

//! A Tower middleware that provides a buffered mpsc for processing requests in batches.
//!
//! Writing data in bulk is a common technique for improving the efficiency of certain tasks.
//! `batch-tower` is a middleware that allows you to buffer requests for batch processing until
//! the buffer reaches a maximum size OR a maximum duration elapses.
//!
//! Clients enqueue requests by sending on the channel from any of the handles ([`Batch`]), and the
//! single service running elsewhere (usually spawned) receives and collects the requests wrapped
//! in [`Item(R)`](BatchControl::Item). Once the [`Batch`]) buffer is full or the maximum duration
//! elapses, the service is instructed to write the data with a [`Flush`](BatchControl::Flush)
//! request. Upon completion of the flush operation, the client's will receive a response with the
//! outcome.
