Maven site reports are [here](https://davidmoten.github.io/rxjava2-extras/index.html) including [javadoc](https://davidmoten.github.io/rxjava2-extras/apidocs/index.html).

Getting started
-----------------
Add this to your pom.xml:

```xml
<dependency>
  <groupId>com.github.davidmoten</groupId>
  <artifactId>rxjava2-extras</artifactId>
  <version>VERSION_HERE</version>
</dependency>
```

Or add this to your build.gradle:
```groovy
repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

dependencies {
    compile 'com.github.davidmoten:rxjava2-extras:VERSION_HERE'
}
```

Android
--------------
To use *rxjava2-extras* on Android you need these [proguard rules](src/main/proguard/proguard-rules.txt).

Migration
------------
* Primary target type is `Flowable` (the backpressure supporting stream)
* Operators will be implemented initially without fusion support (later)  
* Where applicable `Single`, `Maybe` and `Completable` will be used
* To cross types (say from `Flowable` to `Maybe`) it is necessary to use `to` rather than `compose`
* Transformers (for use with `compose` and `to`) are clustered within the primary owning class rather than bunched together in the `Transformers` class. For example, `Strings.join`:

```java
//produces a stream of "ab"
Maybe<String> o = Flowable
  .just("a","b")
  .to(Strings.join()); 
```

# Documentation

buffer
--------------------------
To buffer on maximum size and time since last source emission:

```java
flowable.compose(
  Transformers.buffer(maxSize, 10, TimeUnit.SECONDS));
```
 You can also make the timeout dependent on the last emission:

```java
flowable.compose(
  Transformers.buffer(maxSize, x -> timeout(x), TimeUnit.SECONDS));
```

collectStats
---------------------------
Accumulate statistics, emitting the accumulated results with each item.

collectWhile
-------------------------
Behaves as per `toListWhile` but allows control over the data structure used.

This operator supports [request-one micro-fusion](http://akarnokd.blogspot.com.au/2016/03/operator-fusion-part-1.html).

doOnEmpty
-------------------------
Performs an action only if a stream completes without emitting an item.

```java
flowable.compose(
    Transformers.doOnEmpty(action));
```

fetchPagesByRequest
-----------------------
This is a `Flowable` creation method that is aimed at supporting calls to a service that provides data in pages where the page sizes are determined by requests from downstream (*requests* are a part of the backpressure machinery of RxJava).

Here's an example.

Suppose you have a stateless web service, say a rest service that returns JSON/XML and supplies you with

* the most popular movies of the last 24 hours sorted by descending popularity

The service supports paging in that you can pass it a start number and a page size and it will return just that slice from the list.

Now I want to give a library with a `Flowable` definition of this service to my colleagues that they can call in their applications whatever they may be. For example,

* Fred may just want to know the most popular movie each day, 
* Greta wants to get the top 20 and then have the ability to keep scrolling down the list in her UI.

Let's see how we can efficiently support those use cases. I'm going to assume that the movie data returned by the service are mapped conveniently to objects by whatever framework I'm using (JAXB, Jersey, etc.). The fetch method looks like this:

```java
// note that start is 0-based
List<Movie> mostPopularMovies(int start, int size);

```
Now I'm going to wrap this synchronous call as a `Flowable` to give to my colleagues:

```java
Flowable<Movie> mostPopularMovies(int start) {
    return Flowables.fetchPagesByRequest(
          (position, n) -> Flowable.fromIterable(mostPopular(position, n)),
          start)
        // rebatch requests so that they are always between 
        // 5 and 100 except for the first request
      .compose(Transformers.rebatchRequests(5, 100, false));
}

Flowable<Movie> mostPopularMovies() {
    return mostPopularMovies(0);
}
```
Note particularly that the method above uses a variant of [`rebatchRequests`](#rebatchrequests) to limit both minimum and maximum requests. We particularly don't want to allow a single call requesting the top 100,000 popular movies because of the memory and network pressures that arise from that call.

Righto, Fred now uses the new API like this:

```java
Movie top = mostPopularMovies()
    .compose(Transformers.maxRequest(1))
    .first()
    .blockingFirst();
```
The use of `maxRequest` above may seem unnecessary but strangely enough the `first` operator requests `Long.MAX_VALUE` of upstream and cancels as soon as one arrives. The `take`, `elemnentAt` and `firstXXX` operators all have this counter-intuitive characteristic.

Greta uses the new API like this:

```java
mostPopularMovies()
    .rebatchRequests(20)
    .doOnNext(movie -> addToUI(movie))
    .subscribe(subscriber);
```

A bit more detail about `fetchPagesByRequest`:
* if the `fetch` function returns a `Flowable` that delivers fewer than the requested number of items then the overall stream completes.

insert
-------------------------
Inserts zero or one items into a stream if the given Maybe succeeds before the next source emission.

Example:
```java
Flowable
  .interval(1, TimeUnit.SECONDS)
  .compose(Transformers.insert(
     Maybe.just(-1L).delay(500, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS))) 
  .forEach(System.out::println);
```
produces (with 500ms intervals between every emission):
```
0
-1
1
-1
2
-1
3
-1
4
-1
...
```
    
mapLast
-------------------------
Modifies the last element of the stream via a defined Function.

Example:

```java
Flowable
    .just(1, 2, 3)
    .compose(Transformers.mapLast(x -> x + 1))
    .forEach(System.out::println);
```
produces
```
1
2
4
```

match, matchWith
-------------------------
Finds out-of-order matches in two streams.

[javadoc](http://davidmoten.github.io/rxjava-extras/apidocs/com/github/davidmoten/rx/Transformers.html#matchWith--)

You can use `FlowableTranformers.matchWith` or `Flowables.match`:

```java
Flowable<Integer> a = Flowable.just(1, 2, 4, 3);
Flowable<Integer> b = Flowable.just(1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 4);
Flowables.match(a, b,
     x -> x, // key to match on for a
     x -> x, // key to match on for b
     (x, y) -> x // combiner
    )
   .forEach(System.out::println);
```
gives
```
1
2
3
4
```
Don't rely on the output order!

Under the covers elements are requested from `a` and `b` in alternating batches of 128 by default. The batch size is configurable in another overload.

maxRequest
-------------
Limits upstream requests.

* may allow requests less than the maximum 
* serializes requests
* does not buffer items
* requests at start and just before emission of last item in current batch

```java
flowable
  .compose(Transformers.maxRequest(100));

```
To constrain some requests then no constraint:
```java
flowable
  .compose(Transformers.maxRequest(100, 256, 256, 256, Long.MAX_VALUE);
```

See also: [`minRequest`](#minrequest), [`rebatchRequests`](#rebatchrequests)

mergeInterleaved
-------------------
<img src="/src/docs/mergeInterleaved.png?raw=true"/>

When you use `Flowable.merge` on synchronous sources the sources are completely consumed serially. As a consequence if you want to merge two infinite sources synchronously then you only get the first source and the second source is never read.

`Flowables.mergeInterleaved` round-robins the requests to the window of current publishers (up to `maxConcurrent`) so that two or more infinite streams can be merged without resorting to apply asynchronicity via an asynchronous scheduler.

There is a sacrifice made in that the operator is less performant than merging asynchronous streams because only one stream is requested from at a time. In addition the operator does not include micro- and macro-fusion optimisations.

minRequest
-------------
Ensures requests are at least the given value(s).

* serializes requests
* may buffer items
* requests at start and just after emission of last item in current batch

```java
flowable
  .compose(Transformers.minRequest(10));
```
To allow the first request through unconstrained:
```java
flowable
  .compose(Transformers.minRequest(1, 10));
```

See also: [`maxRequest`](#maxrequest), [`rebatchRequests`](#rebatchrequests)

## onBackpressureBufferToFile
With this operator you can offload a stream's emissions to disk to reduce memory pressure when you have a fast producer + slow consumer (or just to minimize memory usage).

If you have used the `onBackpressureBuffer` operator you'll know that when a stream is producing faster than the downstream operators can process (perhaps the producer cannot respond meaningfully to a *slow down* request from downstream) then `onBackpressureBuffer` buffers the items to an in-memory queue until they can be processed. Of course if memory is limited then some streams might eventually cause an `OutOfMemoryError`. One solution to this problem is to increase the effectively available memory for buffering by using off-heap memory and disk instead. That's why `onBackpressureBufferToFile` was created.

*rxjava-extras* uses standard file io to buffer serialized stream items. This operator can still be used with RxJava2 using the [RxJava2Interop](https://github.com/akarnokd/RxJava2Interop) library.

*rxjava2-extras* uses fixed size memory-mapped files to perform the same operation but with much greater throughput.

Note that new files for a file buffered observable are created for each subscription and those files are in normal circumstances deleted on cancellation (triggered by `onCompleted`/`onError` termination or manual cancellation).

Here's an example:

```java
// write the source strings to a 
// disk-backed queue on the subscription
// thread and emit the items read from 
// the queue on the io() scheduler.
Flowable<String> flowable = 
  Flowable
    .just("a", "b", "c")
    .compose(
      Transformers
          .onBackpressureBufferToFile()
          .serializerUtf8())
```

You can also use an `Observable` source (without converting to `Flowable` with `toFlowable`):
```java
Flowable<String> flowable = 
  Observable
    .just("a", "b", "c")
    .to(
      ObservableTransformers
          .onBackpressureBufferToFile()
          .serializerUtf8())
```
Note that `to` is used above to cross types (`Observable` to `Flowable`).

This example does the same as above but more concisely and uses standard java IO serialization (normally it will be more efficient to write your own `DataSerializer`):

```java
Flowable<String> flowable = 
  Flowable
    .just("a", "b", "c")
    .compose(Transformers
        .<String>onBackpressureBufferToFile());
```

An example with a custom serializer:

```java
// define how the items in the source stream would be serialized
DataSerializer<String> serializer = new DataSerializer<String>() {

@Override
    public void serialize(String s, DataOutput out) throws IOException {
        output.writeUTF(s);
    }

@Override
    public String deserialize(DataInput in) throws IOException {
        return input.readUTF();
    }
    
    @Override
    public int sizeHint() {
        // exact size unknown
        return 0;
    }
};
Flowable
  .just("a", "b", "c")
  .compose(
    Transformers
        .onBackpressureBufferToFile()
        .serializer(serializer));
  ...
```
You can configure various options:

```java
Flowable
  .just("a", "b", "c")
  .compose(
    Transformers
        .onBackpressureBufferToFile()
        .scheduler(Schedulers.computation()) 
        .fileFactory(fileFactory)
        .pageSizeBytes(1024)
        .serializer(serializer)); 
  ...
```
`.fileFactory(Func0<File>)` specifies the method used to create the temporary files used by the queue storage mechanism. The default is a factory that calls `Files.createTempFile("bufferToFile", ".obj")`.

There are some inbuilt `DataSerializer` implementations:

* `DataSerializers.utf8()`
* `DataSerializers.string(Charset)`
* `DataSerializers.bytes()`
* `DataSerializers.javaIO()` - uses standard java serialization (`ObjectOutputStream` and such)

Using default java serialization you can buffer array lists of integers to a file like so:

```java
Flowable.just(1, 2, 3, 4)
    //accumulate into sublists of length 2
    .buffer(2)
    .compose(Transformers
        .<List<Integer>>onBackpressureBufferToFile()
        .serializerJavaIO())
```

In the above example it's fortunate that `.buffer` emits `ArrayList<Integer>` instances which are serializable. To be strict you might want to `.map` the returned list to a data type you know is serializable:

```java
Flowable.just(1, 2, 3, 4)
    .buffer(2)
    .map(list -> new ArrayList<Integer>(list))
    .compose(
      Transformers
          .<List<Integer>>onBackpressureBufferToFile()
          .serializerJavaIO())
```
### Algorithm
Usual queue drain practices are in place but the queue this time is based on memory-mapped file storage. The memory-mapped queue borrows tricks used by [Aeron](https://github.com/real-logic/Aeron). In particular:

* every byte array message is preceded by a header

```
message length in bytes (int, 4 bytes)
message type (1 byte) (0 or 1 for FULL_MESSAGE or FRAGMENT)
padding length in bytes (1 byte)
zeroes according to padding length
```

* high read/write throughput is achieved via minimal use of `Unsafe` volatile puts and gets.

When a message is placed on the memory-mapped file based queue:

* The header and message bytes above are appended at the current write position in the file but the message length is written as zero (or in our case not written at all because the value defaults to zero). 
* Only once all the message bytes are written is message length given its actual value (and this is done using `Unsafe.putOrderedInt`). 
* When a read is attempted the length field is read using `Unsafe.getIntVolatile` and if zero we do nothing (until the next read attempt).

Cancellation complicates things somewhat because pulling the plug suddenly on `Unsafe` memory mapped files means crashing the JVM with a sigsev fault. To reduce contention with cancellation checks, resource disposal is processed by the queue drain method (reads) and writes to the queue are serialized with cancellation via CAS semantics.

TODO 
Describe fragmentation handling.

### Performance
Throughput is increased dramatically by using memory-mapped files.

*rxjava2-extras* can push through 800MB/s using 1K messages compared to *rxjava-extras* 43MB/s (2011 i7-920 @2.67GHz). My 2016 2 core i5 HP Spectre laptop with SSD pushes through up to 1.5GB/s for 1K messages.

Smaller messages mean more contention but still on my laptop I am seeing 6 million 40B messages per second.

To do long-running perf tests (haven't set up jmh for this one yet) do this:

```bash
mvn test -Dn=500000000
```

rebatchRequests
------------------
Constrains requests to a range of values (rebatches).

`rebatchRequests` is the composition of the operators [`minRequest`](#minrequest) and [`maxRequest`](#maxrequest).

Example:

```java
flowable
  .compose(Transformers.rebatchRequests(5, 100));
```
Allow the first request to be unconstrained by the minimum:
```java
flowable
  .compose(Transformers.rebatchRequests(5, 100, false));
```

See also: [`minRequest`](#minrequest), [`maxRequest`](#maxrequest)

repeatLast
------------------------
If a stream has elements and completes then the last element is repeated.

```java
flowable.compose(
    Transformers.repeatLast());
```

RetryWhen
----------------------
A common use case for `.retry()` is some sequence of actions that are attempted and then after a delay a retry is attempted. RxJava does not provide 
first class support for this use case but the building blocks are there with the `.retryWhen()` method. `RetryWhen` offers static methods that build a `Function` for use with `Flowable.retryWhen()`.

### Retry after a constant delay

```java
flowable.retryWhen(
    RetryWhen.delay(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS).build());
```

### Retry after a constant delay with a maximum number of retries

```java
flowable.retryWhen(
    RetryWhen.delay(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS)
        .maxRetries(10).build());
```

### Retry after custom delays

```java
//the length of waits determines number of retries
Flowable<Long> delays = Flowable.just(10L,20L,30L,30L,30L);
flowable.retryWhen(
    RetryWhen.delays(delays, TimeUnit.SECONDS).build());
```

### Retry only for a particular exception

```java
flowable.retryWhen(
    RetryWhen.retryWhenInstanceOf(IOException.class)
        .build());
```

reverse
----------------
Reverses the order of emissions of a stream. Does not emit till source completes.

```java
flowable.compose(
    Transformers.reverse());
```

stateMachine
--------------------------
Custom operators are difficult things to get right in RxJava mainly because of the complexity of supporting backpressure efficiently. `Transformers.stateMachine` enables a custom operator implementation when:

* each source emission is mapped to 0 to many emissions (of a different type perhaps) to downstream but those emissions are calculated based on accumulated state

[javadoc](http://davidmoten.github.io/rxjava-extras/apidocs/com/github/davidmoten/rx/Transformers.html#stateMachine-rx.functions.Func0-rx.functions.Func3-rx.functions.Action2-)

An example of such a transformation might be from a list of temperatures you only want to emit sequential values that are less than zero but are part of a sub-zero sequence at least 1 hour in duration. You could use `toListWhile` above (when migrated!) but `Transformers.stateMachine` offers the additional efficiency that it will immediately emit temperatures as soon as the duration criterion is met.

To implement this example, suppose the source is half-hourly temperature measurements:

```java
static class State {
     final List<Double> list;
     final boolean reachedThreshold;
     State(List<Double> list, boolean reachedThreshold) {
         this.list = list; 
         this.reachedThreshold = reachedThreshold;
     }
}

int MIN_SEQUENCE_LENGTH = 2;

FlowableTransformer<Double, Double> trans = Transformers 
    .stateMachine() 
    .initialStateFactory(() -> new State(new ArrayList<>(), false))
    .<Double, Double> transition((state, t, subscriber) -> {
        if (t < 0) {
            if (state.reachedThreshold) {
                if (subscriber.isUnsubscribed()) {
                    return null;
                }
                subscriber.onNext(t);
                return state;
            } else if (state.list.size() == MIN_SEQUENCE_LENGTH - 1) {
                for (Double temperature : state.list) {
                    if (subscriber.isUnsubscribed()) {
                        return null;
                    }
                    subscriber.onNext(temperature);
                }
                return new State(null, true);
            } else {
                List<Double> list = new ArrayList<>(state.list);
                list.add(t);
                return new State(list, false);
            }
        } else {
            return new State(new ArrayList<>(), false);
        }
    }).build();
Flowable
    .just(10.4, 5.0, 2.0, -1.0, -2.0, -5.0, -1.0, 2.0, 5.0, 6.0)
    .compose(trans)
    .forEach(System.out::println);
```

Serialized
------------------
To read serialized objects from a file:

```java
Flowable<Item> items = Serialized.read(file);
```

To write a `Flowable` to a file:

```java
Serialized.write(flowable, file).subscribe();
```

### Kryo
`Serialized` also has support for the very fast serialization library [kryo](https://github.com/EsotericSoftware/kryo). Unlike standard Java serialization *Kryo* can also serialize/deserialize objects that don't implement `Serializable`.

Add this to your pom.xml:

```xml
<dependency>
    <groupId>com.esotericsoftware</groupId>
    <artifactId>kryo</artifactId>
    <version>4.0.0</version>
</dependency>
```

For example,

To read:
```java
Flowable<Item> items = Serialized.kryo().read(file);
```

To write:
```java
Flowable.write(flowable, file).subscribe();
```

You can also call `Serialized.kryo(kryo)` to use an instance of `Kryo` that you have configured specially.

toListWhile
---------------------------
You may want to group emissions from a `Flowable` into lists of variable size. This can be achieved safely using `toListWhile`.

As an example from a sequence of temperatures lets group the sub-zero and zero or above temperatures into contiguous lists:

```java
Flowable.just(10, 5, 2, -1, -2, -5, -1, 2, 5, 6)
    .compose(Transformers.toListWhile( 
        (list, t) -> list.isEmpty() 
            || Math.signum(list.get(0)) < 0 && Math.signum(t) < 0
            || Math.signum(list.get(0)) >= 0 && Math.signum(t) >= 0)
    .forEach(System.out::println);
```
produces
```
[10, 5, 2]
[-1, -2, -5, -1]
[2, 5, 6]
```

See also [`collectWhile`](#collectwhile). This operator supports [request-one micro-fusion](http://akarnokd.blogspot.com.au/2016/03/operator-fusion-part-1.html).

windowMin/Max
----------------------------
Sliding window minimum/maximum:

```java
Flowable.just(3, 2, 5, 1, 6, 4)
    .compose(Transformers.<Integer>windowMin(3))
```
