fromSinkAndSource

public static <I,O> Flow<I,O,NotUsed> fromSinkAndSource(Graph<SinkShape<I>,?> sink,
                                                                          Graph<SourceShape<O>,?> source)

Creates a Flow from a Sink and a Source where the Flow's input will be sent to the Sink and the Flow's output will come from the Source.

The resulting flow can be visualized as:


     +----------------------------------------------+
     | Resulting Flow[I, O, NotUsed]                |
     |                                              |

     |  +---------+                  +-----------+  |
     +----------------------------------------------+

The completion of the Sink and Source sides of a Flow constructed using this method are independent. So if the Sink receives a completion signal, the Source side will remain unaware of that. If you are looking to couple the termination signals of the two sides use Flow.fromSinkAndSourceCoupled instead.

See also <I,O,M1,M2,M>fromSinkAndSourceMat(akka.stream.Graph<akka.stream.SinkShape,M1>,akka.stream.Graph<akka.stream.SourceShape<O>,M2>,akka.japi.function.Function2<M1,M2,M>) when access to materialized values of the parameters is needed.

Creates a Flow from a Sink and a Source where the Flow's input will be sent to the Sink and the Flow's output will come from the Source.

The resulting flow can be visualized as:


     +-------------------------------------------------------+
     | Resulting Flow[I, O, M]                              |

The completion of the Sink and Source sides of a Flow constructed using this method are independent. So if the Sink receives a completion signal, the Source side will remain unaware of that. If you are looking to couple the termination signals of the two sides use Flow.fromSinkAndSourceCoupledMat instead.

The combine function is used to compose the materialized values of the sink and source into the materialized value of the resulting Flow.

Allows coupling termination (cancellation, completion, erroring) of Sinks and Sources while creating a Flow from them. Similar to Flow.fromSinkAndSource however couples the termination of these two operators.

The resulting flow can be visualized as:


     +---------------------------------------------+
     | Resulting Flow[I, O, NotUsed]               |

E.g. if the emitted Flow gets a cancellation, the Source of course is cancelled, however the Sink will also be completed. The table below illustrates the effects in detail:

Use 'Flow.completionStageFlow' in combination with prefixAndTail(1) instead, see `completionStageFlow` operator docs for details. Since 2.6.0.

Creates a real Flow upon receiving the first element. Internal Flow will not be created if there are no elements, because of completion, cancellation, or error.
The materialized value of the Flow is the value that is created by the fallback function.

Deprecated.
Use 'Flow.lazyCompletionStageFlow' instead. Since 2.6.0.

Creates a real Flow upon receiving the first element. Internal Flow will not be created if there are no elements, because of completion, cancellation, or error.
The materialized value of the Flow is a Future[Option[M} that is completed with Some(mat) when the internal flow gets materialized or with None when there where no elements. If the flow materialization (including the call of the flowFactory) fails then the future is completed with a failure.

Turn a CompletionStage into a flow that will consume the values of the source when the future completes successfully. If the Future is completed with a failure the stream is failed.
The materialized completion stage value is completed with the materialized value of the future flow or failed with a NeverMaterializedException if upstream fails or downstream cancels before the completion stage has completed.

```
Defers invoking the create function to create a future flow until there is downstream demand and passing that downstream demand upstream triggers the first element.
Note that asynchronous boundaries (and other operators) in the stream may do pre-fetching which counter acts the laziness and can trigger the factory earlier than expected.

public static <In,SuperOut,Out extends SuperOut,M> Flow<In,SuperOut,M> upcast(Flow<In,Out,M> flow)
```
Upcast a stream of elements to a stream of supertypes of that element. Useful in combination with fan-in operators where you do not want to pay the cost of casting each element in a map.

Returns:

A flow that accepts In and outputs elements of the super type

flattenOptional
```
public static <Out,In extends java.util.Optional<Out>> Flow<In,Out,NotUsed> flattenOptional()
```
Collect the value of Optional from the elements passing through this flow, empty Optional is filtered out.
Adheres to the ActorAttributes.SupervisionStrategy attribute.
'''Emits when''' the current Optional's value is present.
'''Backpressures when''' the value of the current Optional is present and downstream backpressures
'''Completes when''' upstream completes
'''Cancels when''' downstream cancels *

concatAllLazy
```
public Flow<In,Out,Mat> concatAllLazy(Graph<SourceShape<Out>,?>... those)
```
Concatenate the given Sources to this Flow, meaning that once this Flow’s input is exhausted and all result elements have been generated, the Source’s elements will be produced.
Note that the Sources are materialized together with this Flow. If lazy materialization is what is needed the operator can be combined with for example Source.lazySource to defer materialization of that until the time when this source completes.
The second source is then kept from producing elements by asserting back-pressure until its time comes.
For a concat operator that is detached, use concat(akka.stream.Graph<akka.stream.SourceShape<Out>, M>)
If this Flow gets upstream error - no elements from the given Sources will be pulled.
'''Emits when''' element is available from current stream or from the given Sources when current is completed
'''Backpressures when''' downstream backpressures
'''Completes when''' given all those Sources completes
'''Cancels when''' downstream cancels

alsoToAll
```
public Flow<In,Out,Mat> alsoToAll(Graph<SinkShape<Out>,?>... those)
```
Attaches the given Sinks to this Flow, meaning that elements that passes through will also be sent to all those Sinks.
It is similar to wireTap(akka.japi.function.Procedure<Out>) but will backpressure instead of dropping elements when the given Sinks is not ready.
'''Emits when''' element is available and demand exists both from the Sinks and the downstream.
'''Backpressures when''' downstream or any of the Sinks backpressures
'''Completes when''' upstream completes
'''Cancels when''' downstream or any of the Sinks cancels

map
```
public <T> Flow<In,T,Mat> map(Function<Out,T> f)
```
Transform this stream by applying the given function to each of the elements as they pass through this processing step.
Adheres to the ActorAttributes.SupervisionStrategy attribute.
'''Emits when''' the mapping function returns an element
'''Backpressures when''' downstream backpressures
'''Completes when''' upstream completes
'''Cancels when''' downstream cancels

wireTap
```
public Flow<In,Out,Mat> wireTap(Procedure<Out> f)
```
This is a simplified version of wireTap(Sink) that takes only a simple procedure. Elements will be passed into this "side channel" function, and any of its results will be ignored.
If the wire-tap operation is slow (it backpressures), elements that would've been sent to it will be dropped instead. It is similar to alsoTo(akka.stream.Graph<akka.stream.SinkShape<Out>, ?>) but will not affect (i.e. backpressure) the flow tapped into.
This operation is useful for inspecting the passed through element, usually by means of side-effecting operations (such as println, or emitting metrics), for each element without having to modify it.
For logging signals (elements, completion, error) consider using the log(java.lang.String,akka.japi.function.Function<Out,java.lang.Object>,akka.event.LoggingAdapter) operator instead, along with appropriate ActorAttributes.logLevels.
'''Emits when''' upstream emits an element; the same element will be passed to the attached function, as well as to the downstream operator
'''Backpressures when''' downstream backpressures
'''Completes when''' upstream completes
'''Cancels when''' downstream cancels

mapConcat
```
public <T> Flow<In,T,Mat> mapConcat(Function<Out,java.lang.Iterable<T>> f)
```
Transform each input element into an Iterable of output elements that is then flattened into the output stream.
Make sure that the Iterable is immutable or at least not modified after being used as an output sequence. Otherwise the stream may fail with ConcurrentModificationException or other more subtle errors may occur.
The returned Iterable MUST NOT contain null values, as they are illegal as stream elements - according to the Reactive Streams specification.
'''Emits when''' the mapping function returns an element or there are still remaining elements from the previously calculated collection
'''Backpressures when''' downstream backpressures or there are still remaining elements from the previously calculated collection
'''Completes when''' upstream completes and all remaining elements have been emitted
'''Cancels when''' downstream cancels

statefulMap
```
public <S,T> Flow<In,T,Mat> statefulMap(Creator<S> create,
 Function2<S,Out,Pair<S,T>> f,
 Function<S,java.util.Optional<T>> onComplete)
```
Transform each stream element with the help of a state.
The state creation function is invoked once when the stream is materialized and the returned state is passed to the mapping function for mapping the first element. The mapping function returns a mapped element to emit downstream and a state to pass to the next mapping function. The state can be the same for each mapping return, be a new immutable state but it is also safe to use a mutable state. The returned T MUST NOT be null as it is illegal as stream element - according to the Reactive Streams specification. A null state is not allowed and will fail the stream.
For stateless variant see <T>map(akka.japi.function.Function<Out,T>).
The onComplete function is called only once when the upstream or downstream finished, You can do some clean-up here, and if the returned value is not empty, it will be emitted to the downstream if available, otherwise the value will be dropped.
Adheres to the ActorAttributes.SupervisionStrategy attribute.
'''Emits when''' the mapping function returns an element and downstream is ready to consume it
'''Backpressures when''' downstream backpressures
'''Completes when''' upstream completes
'''Cancels when''' downstream cancels

Parameters:

create - a function that creates the initial state

f - a function that transforms the upstream element and the state into a pair of next state and output element

onComplete - a function that transforms the ongoing state into an optional output element

mapWithResource
```
public <R,T> Flow<In,T,Mat> mapWithResource(java.util.function.Supplier<R> create,
 java.util.function.BiFunction<R,Out,T> f,
 java.util.function.Function<R,java.util.Optional<T>> close)
```
Transform each stream element with the help of a resource.
The resource creation function is invoked once when the stream is materialized and the returned resource is passed to the mapping function for mapping the first element. The mapping function returns a mapped element to emit downstream. The returned T MUST NOT be null as it is illegal as stream element - according to the Reactive Streams specification.
The close function is called only once when the upstream or downstream finishes or fails. You can do some clean-up here, and if the returned value is not empty, it will be emitted to the downstream if available, otherwise the value will be dropped.
Early completion can be done with combination of the takeWhile(akka.japi.function.Predicate<Out>,boolean) operator.
Adheres to the ActorAttributes.SupervisionStrategy attribute.
You can configure the default dispatcher for this Source by changing the akka.stream.materializer.blocking-io-dispatcher or set it for a given Source by using ActorAttributes.
'''Emits when''' the mapping function returns an element and downstream is ready to consume it
'''Backpressures when''' downstream backpressures
'''Completes when''' upstream completes
'''Cancels when''' downstream cancels

Parameters:

create - function that creates the resource

f - function that transforms the upstream element and the resource to output element

close - function that closes the resource, optionally outputting a last element

statefulMapConcat
```
public <T> Flow<In,T,Mat> statefulMapConcat(Creator<Function<Out,java.lang.Iterable<T>>> f)
```
Transform each input element into an Iterable of output elements that is then flattened into the output stream. The transformation is meant to be stateful, which is enabled by creating the transformation function anew for every materialization — the returned function will typically close over mutable objects to store state between invocations. For the stateless variant see mapConcat(akka.japi.function.Function<Out, java.lang.Iterable<T>>).
Make sure that the Iterable is immutable or at least not modified after being used as an output sequence. Otherwise the stream may fail with ConcurrentModificationException or other more subtle errors may occur.
The returned Iterable MUST NOT contain null values, as they are illegal as stream elements - according to the Reactive Streams specification.
Adheres to the ActorAttributes.SupervisionStrategy attribute.
'''Emits when''' the mapping function returns an element or there are still remaining elements from the previously calculated collection
'''Backpressures when''' downstream backpressures or there are still remaining elements from the previously calculated collection
'''Completes when''' upstream completes and all remaining elements has been emitted
'''Cancels when''' downstream cancels

mapAsync
```
public <T> Flow<In,T,Mat> mapAsync(int parallelism,
 Function<Out,java.util.concurrent.CompletionStage<T>> f)
```
Transform this stream by applying the given function to each of the elements as they pass through this processing step. The function returns a CompletionStage and the value of that future will be emitted downstream. The number of CompletionStages that shall run in parallel is given as the first argument to mapAsync. These CompletionStages may complete in any order, but the elements that are emitted downstream are in the same order as received from upstream.
If the function f throws an exception or if the CompletionStage is completed with failure and the supervision decision is Supervision.stop() the stream will be completed with failure.
If the function f throws an exception or if the CompletionStage is completed with failure and the supervision decision is Supervision.resume() or Supervision.restart() the element is dropped and the stream continues.
If the CompletionStage is completed with null, it is ignored and the next element is processed.
The function f is always invoked on the elements in the order they arrive.
'''Emits when''' the CompletionStage returned by the provided function finishes for the next element in sequence
'''Backpressures when''' the number of CompletionStages reaches the configured parallelism and the downstream backpressures or the first future is not completed
'''Completes when''' upstream completes and all CompletionStages have been completed and all elements have been emitted
'''Cancels when''' downstream cancels

mapAsyncPartitioned
```
public <T,P> Flow<In,T,Mat> mapAsyncPartitioned(int parallelism,
 int perPartition,
 Function<Out,P> partitioner,
 java.util.function.BiFunction<Out,P,java.util.concurrent.CompletionStage<T>> f)
```
Transform this stream by partitioning elements based on the provided partitioner as they pass through this processing step and then applying a given CompletionStage-returning function to each element and its partition key. The value of the returned future, if successful, will be emitted downstream.
The number of CompletionStages running at any given time is bounded by the 'parallelism' and 'perPartition' values. The CompletionStages may complete in any order, but the results are emitted in the same order as the corresponding elements were received.
If the functions 'partitioner' or 'f' throw an exception, or if the 'CompletionStage' is completed with failure, supervision will be applied to determine a decision. If the decision is Supervision.stop(), the stream will be completed with failure; otherwise the element will be dropped and the stream continues.
The function 'partitioner' is always invoked on the elements in the order they arrive.
The function 'f' is invoked on elements with the same partition key in the order they arrive. The order of invocation of 'f' for elements with different partition keys is undefined and subject to factors including, but not limited to, the distribution of partition keys within the stream.
'''Emits when''' the CompletionStage returned by the provided function 'f' finishes for the next element in sequence
'''Backpressures when''' the number of elements for which no resulting CompletionStage has completed reaches the configured parallelism and the downstream backpressures or the first CompletionStage has not completed
'''Completes when''' upstream completes and all CompletionStages have been completed and all elements have been emitted
'''Cancels when''' downstream cancels

mapAsyncUnordered
```
public <T> Flow<In,T,Mat> mapAsyncUnordered(int parallelism,
 Function<Out,java.util.concurrent.CompletionStage<T>> f)
```
Transform this stream by applying the given function to each of the elements as they pass through this processing step. The function returns a CompletionStage and the value of that future will be emitted downstream. The number of CompletionStages that shall run in parallel is given as the first argument to mapAsyncUnordered. Each processed element will be emitted downstream as soon as it is ready, i.e. it is possible that the elements are not emitted downstream in the same order as received from upstream.
If the function f throws an exception or if the CompletionStage is completed with failure and the supervision decision is Supervision.stop() the stream will be completed with failure.
If the function f throws an exception or if the CompletionStage is completed with failure and the supervision decision is Supervision.resume() or Supervision.restart() the element is dropped and the stream continues.
If the CompletionStage is completed with null, it is ignored and the next element is processed.
The function f is always invoked on the elements in the order they arrive (even though the result of the futures returned by f might be emitted in a different order).
Adheres to the ActorAttributes.SupervisionStrategy attribute.
'''Emits when''' any of the CompletionStages returned by the provided function complete
'''Backpressures when''' the number of CompletionStages reaches the configured parallelism and the downstream backpressures
'''Completes when''' upstream completes and all CompletionStages have been completed and all elements have been emitted
'''Cancels when''' downstream cancels

ask
```
public <S> Flow<In,S,Mat> ask(ActorRef ref,
 java.lang.Class<S> mapTo,
 Timeout timeout)
```
Use the ask pattern to send a request-reply message to the target ref actor. If any of the asks times out it will fail the stream with a AskTimeoutException.
The mapTo class parameter is used to cast the incoming responses to the expected response type.
Similar to the plain ask pattern, the target actor is allowed to reply with akka.util.Status. An akka.util.Status#Failure will cause the operator to fail with the cause carried in the Failure message.
Defaults to parallelism of 2 messages in flight, since while one ask message may be being worked on, the second one still be in the mailbox, so defaulting to sending the second one a bit earlier than when first ask has replied maintains a slightly healthier throughput.
The operator fails with an WatchedActorTerminatedException if the target actor is terminated.
Adheres to the ActorAttributes.SupervisionStrategy attribute.
'''Emits when''' any of the CompletionStages returned by the provided function complete
'''Backpressures when''' the number of futures reaches the configured parallelism and the downstream backpressures
'''Completes when''' upstream completes and all futures have been completed and all elements have been emitted
'''Fails when''' the passed in actor terminates, or a timeout is exceeded in any of the asks performed
'''Cancels when''' downstream cancels

ask
```
public <S> Flow<In,S,Mat> ask(int parallelism,
 ActorRef ref,
 java.lang.Class<S> mapTo,
 Timeout timeout)
```
Use the ask pattern to send a request-reply message to the target ref actor. If any of the asks times out it will fail the stream with a AskTimeoutException.
The mapTo class parameter is used to cast the incoming responses to the expected response type.
Similar to the plain ask pattern, the target actor is allowed to reply with akka.util.Status. An akka.util.Status#Failure will cause the operator to fail with the cause carried in the Failure message.
Parallelism limits the number of how many asks can be "in flight" at the same time. Please note that the elements emitted by this operator are in-order with regards to the asks being issued (i.e. same behaviour as mapAsync).
The operator fails with an WatchedActorTerminatedException if the target actor is terminated.
Adheres to the ActorAttributes.SupervisionStrategy attribute.
'''Emits when''' any of the CompletionStages returned by the provided function complete
'''Backpressures when''' the number of futures reaches the configured parallelism and the downstream backpressures

public <T> Flow<In,T,Mat> collectType(java.lang.Class<T> clazz)
```
Transform this stream by testing the type of each of the elements on which the element is an instance of the provided type as they pass through this processing step. Non-matching elements are filtered out.
Adheres to the ActorAttributes.SupervisionStrategy attribute.
'''Emits when''' the element is an instance of the provided type
'''Backpressures when''' the element is an instance of the provided type and downstream backpressures
'''Completes when''' upstream completes
'''Cancels when''' downstream cancels

grouped
```
public Flow<In,java.util.List<Out>,Mat> grouped(int n)
```
Chunk up this stream into groups of the given size, with the last group possibly smaller than requested due to end-of-stream.
n must be positive, otherwise IllegalArgumentException is thrown.
'''Emits when''' the specified number of elements has been accumulated or upstream completed
'''Backpressures when''' a group has been assembled and downstream backpressures
'''Completes when''' upstream completes
'''Cancels when''' downstream cancels

groupedWeighted
```
public Flow<In,java.util.List<Out>,Mat> groupedWeighted(long minWeight,
 java.util.function.Function<Out,java.lang.Long> costFn)
```
Chunk up this stream into groups of elements that have a cumulative weight greater than or equal to the minWeight, with the last group possibly smaller than requested minWeight due to end-of-stream.
minWeight must be positive, otherwise IllegalArgumentException is thrown. costFn must return a non-negative result for all inputs, otherwise the stage will fail with an IllegalArgumentException.

limit
```
public Flow<In,Out,Mat> limit(long n)
```
Ensure stream boundedness by limiting the number of elements from upstream. If the number of incoming elements exceeds max, it will signal upstream failure StreamLimitException downstream.
Due to input buffering some elements may have been requested from upstream publishers that will then not be processed downstream of this step.
The stream will be completed without producing any elements if n is zero or negative.
'''Emits when''' the specified number of elements to take has not yet been reached
'''Backpressures when''' downstream backpressures
'''Completes when''' the defined number of elements has been taken or upstream completes

limitWeighted
```
public Flow<In,Out,Mat> limitWeighted(long n,
 Function<Out,java.lang.Long> costFn)
```
Ensure stream boundedness by evaluating the cost of incoming elements using a cost function. Exactly how many elements will be allowed to travel downstream depends on the evaluated cost of each element. If the accumulated cost exceeds max, it will signal upstream failure StreamLimitException downstream.
Due to input buffering some elements may have been requested from upstream publishers that will then not be processed downstream of this step.
The stream will be completed without producing any elements if n is zero or negative.

scan
```
public <T> Flow<In,T,Mat> scan(T zero,
 Function2<T,Out,T> f)
```
Similar to fold but is not a terminal operation, emits its current value which starts at zero and then applies the current and next value to the given function f, emitting the next current value.
If the function f throws an exception and the supervision decision is Supervision.restart() current value starts at zero again the stream will continue.
Adheres to the ActorAttributes.SupervisionStrategy attribute.
Note that the zero value must be immutable.
'''Emits when''' the function scanning the element returns a new element
'''Backpressures when''' downstream backpressures

scanAsync
```
public <T> Flow<In,T,Mat> scanAsync(T zero,
 Function2<T,Out,java.util.concurrent.CompletionStage<T>> f)
```
Similar to scan but with a asynchronous function, emits its current value which starts at zero and then applies the current and next value to the given function f, emitting a Future that resolves to the next current value.
If the function f throws an exception and the supervision decision is akka.stream.Supervision.Restart current value starts at zero again the stream will continue.
If the function f throws an exception and the supervision decision is akka.stream.Supervision.Resume current value starts at the previous current value, or zero when it doesn't have one, and the stream will continue.
Adheres to the ActorAttributes.SupervisionStrategy attribute.
Note that the zero value must be immutable.

```
Similar to scan but only emits its result when the upstream completes, after which it also completes. Applies the given function f towards its current and next value, yielding the next current value.
Adheres to the ActorAttributes.SupervisionStrategy attribute.
If the function f throws an exception and the supervision decision is Supervision.restart() current value starts at zero again the stream will continue.

reduce
```
public Flow<In,Out,Mat> reduce(Function2<Out,Out,Out> f)
```
Similar to fold but uses first element as zero element. Applies the given function towards its current and next value, yielding the next current value.
If the stream is empty (i.e. completes before signalling any elements), the reduce operator will fail its downstream with a NoSuchElementException, which is semantically in-line with that Scala's standard library collections do in such situations.
Adheres to the ActorAttributes.SupervisionStrategy attribute.

intersperse
```
public Flow<In,Out,Mat> intersperse(Out start,
 Out inject,
 Out end)
```
Intersperses stream with provided element, similar to how scala.collection.immutable.List.mkString injects a separator between a List's elements.
Additionally can inject start and end marker elements to stream.
Examples:
```
 Source<Integer, ?> nums = Source.from(Arrays.asList(0, 1, 2, 3));
 nums.intersperse(","); // 1 , 2 , 3
 nums.intersperse("[", ",", "]"); // [ 1 , 2 , 3 ]
 
```
In case you want to only prepend or only append an element (yet still use the intercept feature to inject a separator between elements, you may want to use the following pattern instead of the 3-argument version of intersperse (See Source.concat for semantics details):
```
 Source.single(">> ").concat(flow.intersperse(","))
 flow.intersperse(",").concat(Source.single("END"))
 
```

 java.time.Duration duration)
```
Chunk up this stream into groups of elements received within a time window, or limited by the given number of elements, whatever happens first.

delay
```
public Flow<In,Out,Mat> delay(java.time.Duration of,
 DelayOverflowStrategy strategy)
```
Shifts elements emission in time by a specified amount. It allows to store elements in internal buffer while waiting for next element to be emitted. Depending on the defined DelayOverflowStrategy it might drop elements or backpressure the upstream if there is no space available in the buffer.
Delay precision is 10ms to avoid unnecessary timer scheduling cycles
Internal buffer has default capacity 16. You can set buffer size by calling addAttributes(inputBuffer)
'''Emits when''' there is a pending element in the buffer and configured time for this element elapsed * EmitEarly - strategy do not wait to emit element if buffer is full
'''Backpressures when''' depending on OverflowStrategy * Backpressure - backpressures when buffer is full * DropHead, DropTail, DropBuffer - never backpressures * Fail - fails the stream if buffer gets full
'''Completes when''' upstream completes and buffered elements have been drained
'''Cancels when''' downstream cancels

Parameters:

of - time to shift all messages

strategy - Strategy that is used when incoming elements cannot fit inside the buffer

delayWith
```
public Flow<In,Out,Mat> delayWith(java.util.function.Supplier<DelayStrategy<Out>> delayStrategySupplier,
 DelayOverflowStrategy overFlowStrategy)
```
Shifts elements emission in time by an amount individually determined through delay strategy a specified amount. It allows to store elements in internal buffer while waiting for next element to be emitted. Depending on the defined DelayOverflowStrategy it might drop elements or backpressure the upstream if there is no space available in the buffer.
It determines delay for each ongoing element invoking DelayStrategy.nextDelay(elem: T): FiniteDuration.
Note that elements are not re-ordered: if an element is given a delay much shorter than its predecessor, it will still have to wait for the preceding element before being emitted. It is also important to notice that DelayStrategy can be stateful.
Delay precision is 10ms to avoid unnecessary timer scheduling cycles.
Internal buffer has default capacity 16. You can set buffer size by calling addAttributes(inputBuffer)
'''Emits when''' there is a pending element in the buffer and configured time for this element elapsed * EmitEarly - strategy do not wait to emit element if buffer is full

 boolean inclusive)
```
Terminate processing (and cancel the upstream publisher) after predicate returns false for the first time. When inclusive is true, include the element for which the predicate returned false. Due to input buffering some elements may have been requested from upstream publishers that will then not be processed downstream of this step.
The stream will be completed without producing any elements if predicate is false for the first stream element.

```
public Flow<In,Out,Mat> mapError(scala.PartialFunction<java.lang.Throwable,java.lang.Throwable> pf)
```
While similar to recover(scala.PartialFunction<java.lang.Throwable,Out>) this operator can be used to transform an error signal to a different one *without* logging it as an error in the process. So in that sense it is NOT exactly equivalent to recover(t => throw t2) since recover would log the t2 error.
Since the underlying failure signal onError arrives out-of-band, it might jump over existing elements. This operator can recover the failure signal, but not the skipped elements, which will be dropped.

conflateWithSeed
```
public <S> Flow<In,S,Mat> conflateWithSeed(Function<Out,S> seed,
 Function2<S,Out,S> aggregate)
```
Allows a faster upstream to progress independently of a slower subscriber by conflating elements into a summary until the subscriber is ready to accept them. For example a conflate step might average incoming numbers if the upstream publisher is faster.
This version of conflate allows to derive a seed from the first element and change the aggregated type to be different than the input type. See Flow.conflate for a simpler version that does not change types.
This element only rolls up elements if the upstream is faster, but if the downstream is faster it will not duplicate elements.
Adheres to the ActorAttributes.SupervisionStrategy attribute.
'''Emits when''' downstream stops backpressuring and there is a conflated element available
'''Backpressures when''' never
'''Completes when''' upstream completes
'''Cancels when''' downstream cancels
see also Flow.conflate Flow.batch Flow.batchWeighted

Parameters:

seed - Provides the first state for a conflated value using the first unconsumed element as a start

aggregate - Takes the currently aggregated value and the current pending element to produce a new aggregate

conflate
```
public Flow<In,Out,Mat> conflate(Function2<Out,Out,Out> aggregate)
```
Allows a faster upstream to progress independently of a slower subscriber by conflating elements into a summary until the subscriber is ready to accept them. For example a conflate step might average incoming numbers if the upstream publisher is faster.
This version of conflate does not change the output type of the stream. See Flow.conflateWithSeed for a more flexible version that can take a seed function and transform elements while rolling up.
This element only rolls up elements if the upstream is faster, but if the downstream is faster it will not duplicate elements.
Adheres to the ActorAttributes.SupervisionStrategy attribute.
'''Emits when''' downstream stops backpressuring and there is a conflated element available
'''Backpressures when''' never

Parameters:

aggregate - Takes the currently aggregated value and the current pending element to produce a new aggregate

batch
```
public <S> Flow<In,S,Mat> batch(long max,
 Function<Out,S> seed,
 Function2<S,Out,S> aggregate)
```
Allows a faster upstream to progress independently of a slower subscriber by aggregating elements into batches until the subscriber is ready to accept them. For example a batch step might store received elements in an array up to the allowed max limit if the upstream publisher is faster.
This element only rolls up elements if the upstream is faster, but if the downstream is faster it will not duplicate elements.
Adheres to the ActorAttributes.SupervisionStrategy attribute.
'''Emits when''' downstream stops backpressuring and there is an aggregated element available
'''Backpressures when''' there are max batched elements and 1 pending element and downstream backpressures
'''Completes when''' upstream completes and there is no batched/pending element waiting
'''Cancels when''' downstream cancels
See also Flow.conflate, Flow.batchWeighted

Parameters:

max - maximum number of elements to batch before backpressuring upstream (must be positive non-zero)

seed - Provides the first state for a batched value using the first unconsumed element as a start

aggregate - Takes the currently batched value and the current pending element to produce a new aggregate

batchWeighted
```
public <S> Flow<In,S,Mat> batchWeighted(long max,
 Function<Out,java.lang.Long> costFn,
 Function<Out,S> seed,
 Function2<S,Out,S> aggregate)
```
Allows a faster upstream to progress independently of a slower subscriber by aggregating elements into batches until the subscriber is ready to accept them. For example a batch step might concatenate ByteString elements up to the allowed max limit if the upstream publisher is faster.
This element only rolls up elements if the upstream is faster, but if the downstream is faster it will not duplicate elements.
Batching will apply for all elements, even if a single element cost is greater than the total allowed limit. In this case, previous batched elements will be emitted, then the "heavy" element will be emitted (after being applied with the seed function) without batching further elements with it, and then the rest of the incoming elements are batched.
'''Emits when''' downstream stops backpressuring and there is a batched element available
'''Backpressures when''' there are max weighted batched elements + 1 pending element and downstream backpressures
'''Completes when''' upstream completes and there is no batched/pending element waiting
'''Cancels when''' downstream cancels
See also Flow.conflate, Flow.batch

Parameters:

max - maximum weight of elements to batch before backpressuring upstream (must be positive non-zero)

costFn - a function to compute a single element weight

seed - Provides the first state for a batched value using the first unconsumed element as a start

aggregate - Takes the currently batched value and the current pending element to produce a new batch

expand
```
public  Flow<In,U,Mat> expand(Function<Out,java.util.Iterator> expander)
```
Allows a faster downstream to progress independently of a slower upstream by extrapolating elements from an older element until new element comes from the upstream. For example an expand step might repeat the last element for the subscriber until it receives an update from upstream.
This element will never "drop" upstream elements as all elements go through at least one extrapolation step. This means that if the upstream is actually faster than the upstream it will be backpressured by the downstream subscriber.
Expand does not support Supervision.restart() and Supervision.resume(). Exceptions from the expander function will complete the stream with failure.
See also extrapolate(akka.japi.function.Function<Out, java.util.Iterator<Out>>) for a version that always preserves the original element and allows for an initial "startup" element.
'''Emits when''' downstream stops backpressuring
'''Backpressures when''' downstream backpressures or iterator runs empty
'''Completes when''' upstream completes
'''Cancels when''' downstream cancels

Parameters:

expander - Takes the current extrapolation state to produce an output element and the next extrapolation state.

extrapolate
```
public Flow<In,Out,Mat> extrapolate(Function<Out,java.util.Iterator<Out>> extrapolator)
```
Allows a faster downstream to progress independent of a slower upstream.
This is achieved by introducing "extrapolated" elements - based on those from upstream - whenever downstream signals demand.
Extrapolate does not support Supervision.restart() and Supervision.resume(). Exceptions from the extrapolate function will complete the stream with failure.
See also expand(akka.japi.function.Function<Out, java.util.Iterator>) for a version that can overwrite the original element.
'''Emits when''' downstream stops backpressuring, AND EITHER upstream emits OR initial element is present OR extrapolate is non-empty and applicable
'''Backpressures when''' downstream backpressures or current extrapolate runs empty
'''Completes when''' upstream completes and current extrapolate runs empty
'''Cancels when''' downstream cancels

Parameters:

extrapolator - Takes the current upstream element and provides a sequence of "extrapolated" elements based on the original, to be emitted in case downstream signals demand.

extrapolate
```
public Flow<In,Out,Mat> extrapolate(Function<Out,java.util.Iterator<Out>> extrapolator,
 Out initial)
```
Allows a faster downstream to progress independent of a slower upstream.
This is achieved by introducing "extrapolated" elements - based on those from upstream - whenever downstream signals demand.
Extrapolate does not support Supervision.restart() and Supervision.resume(). Exceptions from the extrapolate function will complete the stream with failure.
See also expand(akka.japi.function.Function<Out, java.util.Iterator>) for a version that can overwrite the original element.
'''Emits when''' downstream stops backpressuring, AND EITHER upstream emits OR initial element is present OR extrapolate is non-empty and applicable
'''Backpressures when''' downstream backpressures or current extrapolate runs empty
'''Completes when''' upstream completes and current extrapolate runs empty
'''Cancels when''' downstream cancels

Parameters:

extrapolator - Takes the current upstream element and provides a sequence of "extrapolated" elements based on the original, to be emitted in case downstream signals demand.

initial - The initial element to be emitted, in case upstream is able to stall the entire stream.

buffer
```
public Flow<In,Out,Mat> buffer(int size,
 OverflowStrategy overflowStrategy)
```
Adds a fixed size buffer in the flow that allows to store elements from a faster upstream until it becomes full. Depending on the defined OverflowStrategy it might drop elements or backpressure the upstream if there is no space available
'''Emits when''' downstream stops backpressuring and there is a pending element in the buffer
'''Backpressures when''' downstream backpressures or depending on OverflowStrategy:
- Backpressure - backpressures when buffer is full
- DropHead, DropTail, DropBuffer - never backpressures
- Fail - fails the stream if buffer gets full
'''Completes when''' upstream completes and buffered elements have been drained
'''Cancels when''' downstream cancels
Parameters:

size - The size of the buffer in element count

overflowStrategy - Strategy that is used when incoming elements cannot fit inside the buffer

prefixAndTail
```
public Flow<In,Pair<java.util.List<Out>,Source<Out,NotUsed>>,Mat> prefixAndTail(int n)
```
Takes up to n elements from the stream (less than n if the upstream completes before emitting n elements) and returns a pair containing a strict sequence of the taken element and a stream representing the remaining elements. If ''n'' is zero or negative, then this will return a pair of an empty collection and a stream containing the whole upstream unchanged.
In case of an upstream error, depending on the current state - the master stream signals the error if less than n elements have been seen, and therefore the substream has not yet been emitted - the tail substream signals the error after the prefix and tail has been emitted by the main stream (at that point the main stream has already completed)
'''Emits when''' the configured number of prefix elements are available. Emits this prefix, and the rest as a substream
'''Backpressures when''' downstream backpressures or substream backpressures
'''Completes when''' prefix elements have been consumed and substream has been consumed
'''Cancels when''' downstream cancels or substream cancels

flatMapPrefix
```
public <Out2,Mat2> Flow<In,Out2,Mat> flatMapPrefix(int n,
 Function<java.lang.Iterable<Out>,Flow<Out,Out2,Mat2>> f)
```
Takes up to n elements from the stream (less than n only if the upstream completes before emitting n elements), then apply f on these elements in order to obtain a flow, this flow is then materialized and the rest of the input is processed by this flow (similar to via). This method returns a flow consuming the rest of the stream producing the materialized flow's output.
'''Emits when''' the materialized flow emits. Notice the first n elements are buffered internally before materializing the flow and connecting it to the rest of the upstream - producing elements at its own discretion (might 'swallow' or multiply elements).
'''Backpressures when''' downstream backpressures
'''Completes when''' the materialized flow completes. If upstream completes before producing n elements, f will be applied with the provided elements, the resulting flow will be materialized and signalled for upstream completion, it can then complete or continue to emit elements at its own discretion.
'''Cancels when''' the materialized flow cancels. Notice that when downstream cancels prior to prefix completion, the cancellation cause is stashed until prefix completion (or upstream completion) and then handed to the materialized flow.

Parameters:

n - the number of elements to accumulate before materializing the downstream flow.

f - a function that produces the downstream flow based on the upstream's prefix.

mat version of flatMapPrefix(int, akka.japi.function.Function<java.lang.Iterable<Out>, akka.stream.javadsl.Flow<Out, Out2, Mat2>>), this method gives access to a future materialized value of the downstream flow (as a completion stage). see flatMapPrefix(int, akka.japi.function.Function<java.lang.Iterable<Out>, akka.stream.javadsl.Flow<Out, Out2, Mat2>>) for details.

groupBy
```
public <K> SubFlow<In,Out,Mat> groupBy(int maxSubstreams,
 Function<Out,K> f,
 boolean allowClosedSubstreamRecreation)
```
This operation demultiplexes the incoming stream into separate output streams, one for each element key. The key is computed for each element using the given function. When a new key is encountered for the first time a new substream is opened and subsequently fed with all elements belonging to that key.
WARNING: If allowClosedSubstreamRecreation is set to false (default behavior) the operator keeps track of all keys of streams that have already been closed. If you expect an infinite number of keys this can cause memory issues. Elements belonging to those keys are drained directly and not send to the substream.
Note: If allowClosedSubstreamRecreation is set to true substream completion and incoming elements are subject to race-conditions. If elements arrive for a stream that is in the process of closing these elements might get lost.
The object returned from this method is not a normal Flow, it is a SubFlow. This means that after this operator all transformations are applied to all encountered substreams in the same fashion. Substream mode is exited either by closing the substream (i.e. connecting it to a Sink) or by merging the substreams back together; see the to and mergeBack methods on SubFlow for more information.
It is important to note that the substreams also propagate back-pressure as any other stream, which means that blocking one substream will block the groupBy operator itself—and thereby all substreams—once all internal or explicit buffers are filled.
If the group by function f throws an exception and the supervision decision is Supervision.stop() the stream and substreams will be completed with failure.
If the group by function f throws an exception and the supervision decision is Supervision.resume() or Supervision.restart() the element is dropped and the stream and substreams continue.
Function f MUST NOT return null. This will throw exception and trigger supervision decision mechanism.
'''Emits when''' an element for which the grouping function returns a group that has not yet been created. Emits the new group
'''Backpressures when''' there is an element pending for a group whose substream backpressures
'''Completes when''' upstream completes
'''Cancels when''' downstream cancels and all substreams cancel

Parameters:

maxSubstreams - configures the maximum number of substreams (keys) that are supported; if more distinct keys are encountered then the stream fails

f - computes the key for each element

allowClosedSubstreamRecreation - enables recreation of already closed substreams if elements with their corresponding keys arrive after completion

groupBy
```
public <K> SubFlow<In,Out,Mat> groupBy(int maxSubstreams,
 Function<Out,K> f)
```
This operation demultiplexes the incoming stream into separate output streams, one for each element key. The key is computed for each element using the given function. When a new key is encountered for the first time a new substream is opened and subsequently fed with all elements belonging to that key.

splitWhen
```
public SubFlow<In,Out,Mat> splitWhen(Predicate<Out> p)
```
This operation applies the given predicate to all incoming elements and emits them to a stream of output streams, always beginning a new one with the current element if the given predicate returns true for it. This means that for the following series of predicate values, three substreams will be produced with lengths 1, 2, and 3:
```
 false, // element goes into first substream
 true, false, // elements go into second substream
 true, false, false // elements go into third substream
 
```
In case the *first* element of the stream matches the predicate, the first substream emitted by splitWhen will start from that element. For example:
```
 true, false, false // first substream starts from the split-by element
 true, false // subsequent substreams operate the same way
 
```
The object returned from this method is not a normal Flow, it is a SubFlow. This means that after this operator all transformations are applied to all encountered substreams in the same fashion. Substream mode is exited either by closing the substream (i.e. connecting it to a Sink) or by merging the substreams back together; see the to and mergeBack methods on SubFlow for more information.
It is important to note that the substreams also propagate back-pressure as any other stream, which means that blocking one substream will block the splitWhen operator itself—and thereby all substreams—once all internal or explicit buffers are filled.
If the split predicate p throws an exception and the supervision decision is Supervision.stop() the stream and substreams will be completed with failure.
If the split predicate p throws an exception and the supervision decision is Supervision.resume() or Supervision.restart() the element is dropped and the stream and substreams continue.
'''Emits when''' an element for which the provided predicate is true, opening and emitting a new substream for subsequent element
'''Backpressures when''' there is an element pending for the next substream, but the previous is not fully consumed yet, or the substream backpressures
'''Completes when''' upstream completes
'''Cancels when''' downstream cancels and substreams cancel on SubstreamCancelStrategy.drain(), downstream cancels or any substream cancels on SubstreamCancelStrategy.propagate()
See also Flow.splitAfter.

splitWhen(akka.japi.function.Predicate<Out>)

splitAfter
```
public SubFlow<In,Out,Mat> splitAfter(Predicate<Out> p)
```
This operation applies the given predicate to all incoming elements and emits them to a stream of output streams. It *ends* the current substream when the predicate is true. This means that for the following series of predicate values, three substreams will be produced with lengths 2, 2, and 3:
```
 false, true, // elements go into first substream
 false, true, // elements go into second substream
 false, false, true // elements go into third substream

If the split predicate p throws an exception and the supervision decision is akka.stream.Supervision.Stop the stream and substreams will be completed with failure.
If the split predicate p throws an exception and the supervision decision is akka.stream.Supervision.Resume or akka.stream.Supervision.Restart the element is dropped and the stream and substreams continue.
'''Emits when''' an element passes through. When the provided predicate is true it emits the element and opens a new substream for subsequent element

concat
```
public <M> Flow<In,Out,Mat> concat(Graph<SourceShape<Out>,M> that)
```
Concatenate the given Source to this Flow, meaning that once this Flow’s input is exhausted and all result elements have been generated, the Source’s elements will be produced.
Note that the Source is materialized together with this Flow and is "detached" meaning it will in effect behave as a one element buffer in front of both the sources, that eagerly demands an element on start (so it can not be combined with Source.lazy to defer materialization of that).
The second source is then kept from producing elements by asserting back-pressure until its time comes.
When needing a concat operator that is not detached use concatLazy(akka.stream.Graph<akka.stream.SourceShape<Out>, M>)
'''Emits when''' element is available from current stream or from the given Source when current is completed

interleave
```
public Flow<In,Out,Mat> interleave(Graph<SourceShape<Out>,?> that,
 int segmentSize)
```
Interleave is a deterministic merge of the given Source with elements of this Flow. It first emits segmentSize number of elements from this flow to downstream, then - same amount for that source, then repeat process.
Example:
```
 Source<Integer, ?> src = Source.from(Arrays.asList(1, 2, 3))
 Flow<Integer, Integer, ?> flow = flow.interleave(Source.from(Arrays.asList(4, 5, 6, 7)), 2)
 src.via(flow) // 1, 2, 4, 5, 3, 6, 7
 
```
After one of upstreams is complete than all the rest elements will be emitted from the second one

keepAlive
```
public Flow<In,Out,Mat> keepAlive(java.time.Duration maxIdle,
 Creator<Out> injectedElem)
```
Injects additional elements if upstream does not emit for a configured amount of time. In other words, this operator attempts to maintains a base rate of emitted elements towards the downstream.
If the downstream backpressures then no element is injected until downstream demand arrives. Injected elements do not accumulate during this period.
Upstream elements are always preferred over injected elements.
'''Emits when''' upstream emits an element or if the upstream was idle for the configured period
'''Backpressures when''' downstream backpressures
'''Completes when''' upstream completes

throttle
```
public Flow<In,Out,Mat> throttle(int elements,
 java.time.Duration per)
```
Sends elements downstream with speed limited to elements/per. In other words, this operator set the maximum rate for emitting messages. This operator works for streams where all elements have the same cost or length.
Throttle implements the token bucket model. There is a bucket with a given token capacity (burst size). Tokens drops into the bucket at a given rate and can be spared for later use up to bucket capacity to allow some burstiness. Whenever stream wants to send an element, it takes as many tokens from the bucket as element costs. If there isn't any, throttle waits until the bucket accumulates enough tokens. Elements that costs more than the allowed burst will be delayed proportionally to their cost minus available tokens, meeting the target rate. Bucket is full when stream just materialized and started.
The burst size is calculated based on the given rate (cost/per) as 0.1 * rate, for example: - rate < 20/second => burst size 1 - rate 20/second => burst size 2 - rate 100/second => burst size 10 - rate 200/second => burst size 20
The throttle mode is akka.stream.ThrottleMode.Shaping, which makes pauses before emitting messages to meet throttle rate.
'''Emits when''' upstream emits an element and configured time per each element elapsed
'''Backpressures when''' downstream backpressures or the incoming rate is higher than the speed limit
'''Completes when''' upstream completes
'''Cancels when''' downstream cancels

Throttle implements the token bucket model. There is a bucket with a given token capacity (burst size or maximumBurst). Tokens drops into the bucket at a given rate and can be spared for later use up to bucket capacity to allow some burstiness. Whenever stream wants to send an element, it takes as many tokens from the bucket as element costs. If there isn't any, throttle waits until the bucket accumulates enough tokens. Elements that costs more than the allowed burst will be delayed proportionally to their cost minus available tokens, meeting the target rate. Bucket is full when stream just materialized and started.
Parameter mode manages behavior when upstream is faster than throttle rate: - akka.stream.ThrottleMode.Shaping makes pauses before emitting messages to meet throttle rate - akka.stream.ThrottleMode.Enforcing fails with exception when upstream is faster than throttle rate
It is recommended to use non-zero burst sizes as they improve both performance and throttling precision by allowing the implementation to avoid using the scheduler when input rates fall below the enforced limit and to reduce most of the inaccuracy caused by the scheduler resolution (which is in the range of milliseconds).
WARNING: Be aware that throttle is using scheduler to slow down the stream. This scheduler has minimal time of triggering next push. Consequently it will slow down the stream as it has minimal pause for emitting. This can happen in case burst is 0 and speed is higher than 30 events per second. You need to increase the maximumBurst if elements arrive with small interval (30 milliseconds or less). Use the overloaded throttle method without maximumBurst parameter to automatically calculate the maximumBurst based on the given rate (cost/per). In other words the throttler always enforces the rate limit when maximumBurst parameter is given, but in certain cases (mostly due to limited scheduler resolution) it enforces a tighter bound than what was prescribed.

throttle
```
public Flow<In,Out,Mat> throttle(int cost,
 java.time.Duration per,
 Function<Out,java.lang.Integer> costCalculation)
```
Sends elements downstream with speed limited to cost/per. Cost is calculating for each element individually by calling calculateCost function. This operator works for streams when elements have different cost(length). Streams of ByteString for example.
Throttle implements the token bucket model. There is a bucket with a given token capacity (burst size). Tokens drops into the bucket at a given rate and can be spared for later use up to bucket capacity to allow some burstiness. Whenever stream wants to send an element, it takes as many tokens from the bucket as element costs. If there isn't any, throttle waits until the bucket accumulates enough tokens. Elements that costs more than the allowed burst will be delayed proportionally to their cost minus available tokens, meeting the target rate. Bucket is full when stream just materialized and started.
The burst size is calculated based on the given rate (cost/per) as 0.1 * rate, for example: - rate < 20/second => burst size 1 - rate 20/second => burst size 2 - rate 100/second => burst size 10 - rate 200/second => burst size 20
The throttle mode is akka.stream.ThrottleMode.Shaping, which makes pauses before emitting messages to meet throttle rate.

detach
```

watchTermination
```
public <M> Flow<In,Out,M> watchTermination(Function2<Mat,java.util.concurrent.CompletionStage<Done>,M> matF)
```
Materializes to CompletionStage that completes on getting termination message. The future completes with success when received complete message from upstream or cancel from downstream. It fails with the same error when received error message from downstream.

monitorMat
```
public <M> Flow<In,Out,M> monitorMat(Function2<Mat,FlowMonitor<Out>,M> combine)
```
Materializes to FlowMonitor[Out] that allows monitoring of the current flow. All events are propagated by the monitor unchanged. Note that the monitor inserts a memory barrier every time it processes an event, and may therefor affect performance.
The combine function is used to combine the FlowMonitor with this flow's materialized value.

monitor
```
public Flow<In,Out,Pair<Mat,FlowMonitor<Out>>> monitor()
```
Materializes to Pair>, which is unlike most other operators (!), in which usually the default materialized value keeping semantics is to keep the left value (by passing Keep.left() to a *Mat version of a method). This operator is an exception from that rule and keeps both values since dropping its sole purpose is to introduce that materialized value.
The FlowMonitor[Out] allows monitoring of the current flow. All events are propagated by the monitor unchanged. Note that the monitor inserts a memory barrier every time it processes an event, and may therefor affect performance.

initialDelay
```
public Flow<In,Out,Mat> initialDelay(java.time.Duration delay)
```
Delays the initial element by the specified duration.
'''Emits when''' upstream emits an element if the initial delay is already elapsed
'''Backpressures when''' downstream backpressures or initial delay is not yet elapsed
'''Completes when''' upstream completes
'''Cancels when''' downstream cancels

withAttributes
```
public Flow<In,Out,Mat> withAttributes(Attributes attr)
```
Replace the attributes of this Flow with the given ones. If this Flow is a composite of multiple graphs, new attributes on the composite will be less specific than attributes set directly on the individual graphs of the composite.
Note that this operation has no effect on an empty Flow (because the attributes apply only to the contained processing operators).

addAttributes
```
public Flow<In,Out,Mat> addAttributes(Attributes attr)
```
Add the given attributes to this Flow. If the specific attribute was already present on this graph this means the added attribute will be more specific than the existing one.

'''Emits when''' the aggregation function decides the aggregate is complete or the timer function returns true
'''Backpressures when''' downstream backpressures and the aggregate is complete
'''Completes when''' upstream completes and the last aggregate has been emitted downstream
'''Cancels when''' downstream cancels

Parameters:

allocate - allocate the initial data structure for aggregated elements

aggregate - update the aggregated elements, return true if ready to emit after update.

harvest - this is invoked before emit within the current stage/operator

emitOnTimer - decide whether the current aggregated elements can be emitted, the custom function is invoked on every interval
