Abstract

In Streams à la carte we address extensibility shortcomings in libraries for lazy-streaming queries with a new design. The architecture underlying this design borrows heavily from Oliveira and Cook's object algebra solution to the expression problem, extended with a design that exposes the push/pull character of the iteration, and an encoding of higher-kinded polymorphism. In this library we apply our design to Java and show that the addition of full extensibility is accompanied by high performance, matching or exceeding that of the original, highly-optimized Java streams library. In this artifact we present a fundamental set of sequential operators map, filter, reduce, count, take/limit and iterate. Additionally we present the behaviors that are discussed in the paper: push, pull, fused pull, logging, id (for blocking terminal operators), future (for non-blocking terminal operators).

Streams a la carte: Extensible Pipelines with Object Algebras

Authors: Aggelos Biboudis, Nick Palladinos, George Fourtounis, and Yannis Smaragdakis

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 37, 29th European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming (ECOOP 2015)

Abstract

Streaming libraries have become ubiquitous in object-oriented languages, with recent offerings in Java, C#, and Scala. All such libraries, however, suffer in terms of extensibility: there is no way to change the semantics of a streaming pipeline (e.g., to fuse filter operators, to perform computations lazily, to log operations) without changes to the library code. Furthermore, in some languages it is not even possible to add new operators (e.g., a zip operator, in addition to the standard map, filter, etc.) without changing the library. We address such extensibility shortcomings with a new design for streaming libraries. The architecture underlying this design borrows heavily from Oliveira and Cook's object algebra solution to the expression problem, extended with a design that exposes the push/pull character of the iteration, and an encoding of higher-kinded polymorphism. We apply our design to Java and show that the addition of full extensibility is accompanied by high performance, matching or exceeding that of the original, highly-optimized Java streams library.
