      • read

        public Event read()
                   throws java.io.IOException
        Description copied from interface: ObjectStream
        Returns the next object. Calling this method repeatedly until it returns null will return each object from the underlying source exactly once.
        Specified by:
        read in interface ObjectStream<Event>
        Returns:
        the next object or null to signal that the stream is exhausted
        Throws:
        java.io.IOException - if there is an error during reading
      • close

        public void close()
                   throws java.io.IOException
        Description copied from interface: ObjectStream
        Closes the ObjectStream and releases all allocated resources. After close was called its not allowed to call read or reset.
        Specified by:
        close in interface java.lang.AutoCloseable
        Specified by:
        close in interface ObjectStream<Event>
        Throws:
        java.io.IOException - if there is an error during closing the stream
      • toLine

        public static java.lang.String toLine​(Event event)
        Generates a string representing the specified event.
        Parameters:
        event - The event for which a string representation is needed.
        Returns:
        A string representing the specified event.
      • reset

        public void reset()
                   throws java.io.IOException,
                          java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException
        Description copied from interface: ObjectStream
        Repositions the stream at the beginning and the previously seen object sequence will be repeated exactly. This method can be used to re-read the stream if multiple passes over the objects are required. The implementation of this method is optional.
        Specified by:
        reset in interface ObjectStream<Event>
        Throws:
        java.io.IOException - if there is an error during reseting the stream
