Struct futures::stream::FuturesOrdered

#[must_use = "streams do nothing unless polled"]
pub struct FuturesOrdered<T> where
    T: Future,  { /* fields omitted */ }

An unbounded queue of futures.

This "combinator" is similar to FuturesUnordered, but it imposes an order on top of the set of futures. While futures in the set will race to completion in parallel, results will only be returned in the order their originating futures were added to the queue.

Futures are pushed into this queue and their realized values are yielded in order. This structure is optimized to manage a large number of futures. Futures managed by FuturesOrdered will only be polled when they generate notifications. This reduces the required amount of work needed to coordinate large numbers of futures.

When a FuturesOrdered is first created, it does not contain any futures. Calling poll in this state will result in Ok(Async::Ready(None)) to be returned. Futures are submitted to the queue using push; however, the future will not be polled at this point. FuturesOrdered will only poll managed futures when FuturesOrdered::poll is called. As such, it is important to call poll after pushing new futures.

If FuturesOrdered::poll returns Ok(Async::Ready(None)) this means that the queue is currently not managing any futures. A future may be submitted to the queue at a later time. At that point, a call to FuturesOrdered::poll will either return the future's resolved value or Ok(Async::Pending) if the future has not yet completed. When multiple futures are submitted to the queue, FuturesOrdered::poll will return Ok(Async::Pending) until the first future completes, even if some of the later futures have already completed.

Note that you can create a ready-made FuturesOrdered via the futures_ordered function in the stream module, or you can start with an empty queue with the FuturesOrdered::new constructor.

Methods

impl<T> FuturesOrdered<T> where
    T: Future, 

pub fn new() -> FuturesOrdered<T>

Constructs a new, empty FuturesOrdered

The returned FuturesOrdered does not contain any futures and, in this state, FuturesOrdered::poll will return Ok(Async::Ready(None)).

pub fn len(&self) -> usize

Returns the number of futures contained in the queue.

This represents the total number of in-flight futures, both those currently processing and those that have completed but which are waiting for earlier futures to complete.

pub fn is_empty(&self) -> bool

Returns true if the queue contains no futures

pub fn push(&mut self, future: T)

Push a future into the queue.

This function submits the given future to the internal set for managing. This function will not call poll on the submitted future. The caller must ensure that FuturesOrdered::poll is called in order to receive task notifications.

Trait Implementations

impl<T> Debug for FuturesOrdered<T> where
    T: Debug + Future, 

fn fmt(&self, fmt: &mut Formatter) -> Result<(), Error>

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl<F> FromIterator<F> for FuturesOrdered<F> where
    F: Future, 

fn from_iter<T>(iter: T) -> FuturesOrdered<F> where
    T: IntoIterator<Item = F>, 

Creates a value from an iterator.

impl<T> Stream for FuturesOrdered<T> where
    T: Future, 

type Item = <T as Future>::Item

Values yielded by the stream.

type Error = <T as Future>::Error

fn poll_next(
    &mut self,
    cx: &mut Context
) -> Result<Async<Option<<FuturesOrdered<T> as Stream>::Item>>, <FuturesOrdered<T> as Stream>::Error>

Attempt to pull out the next value of this stream, registering the current task for wakeup if the value is not yet available, and returning None if the stream is exhausted.
