Cancels the unit of work represented by this reference.
Cancels the unit of work represented by this reference.
Guaranteed idempotency - calling it multiple times should have the same side-effect as calling it only once. Implementations of this method should also be thread-safe.
No events will be sent by a Publisher
until demand is
signaled via this method.
No events will be sent by a Publisher
until demand is
signaled via this method.
It can be called however often and whenever needed.
Whatever has been requested can be sent by the Publisher
so only signal demand for what can be safely handled.
A Publisher
can send less than is requested if the stream ends but
then must emit either onError
or onComplete
.
The Subscriber
MAY call this method synchronously in the implementation of its
onSubscribe
/ onNext
methods, therefore the effects of this function must be
asynchronous, otherwise it could lead to a stack overflow.
signals demand for the number of onNext
events that the Subscriber
wants,
if positive, then the Publisher
is bound by contract to not send more than
this number of onNext
events and if negative, then this signals to the
Publisher
that it may send an infinite number of events, until the subscription
gets cancelled or the stream is complete.
Represents a
org.reactivestreams.Subscription
that can be assigned only once to another subscription reference.If the assignment happens after this subscription has been canceled, then on assignment the reference will get canceled too. If the assignment after
request(n)
has been called on this subscription, thenrequest(n)
will get called immediately on the assigned reference as well.Useful in case you need a thread-safe forward reference.
