package io.grpc;

import java.io.InputStream;

/**
 * An extension of {@link InputStream} that allows the underlying data source to be detached and
 * transferred to a new instance of the same kind. The detached InputStream takes over the
 * ownership of the underlying data source. That's said, the detached InputStream is responsible
 * for releasing its resources after use. The detached InputStream preserves internal states of
 * the underlying data source. Data can be consumed through the detached InputStream as if being
 * continually consumed through the original instance. The original instance discards internal
 * states of detached data source and is no longer consumable as if the data source is exhausted.
 *
 * 

A normal usage of this API is to extend the lifetime of the data source owned by the * original instance for doing extra processing before releasing it. For example, when combined * with {@link HasByteBuffer}, a custom {@link io.grpc.MethodDescriptor.Marshaller} can take * over the ownership of buffers containing inbound data and perform delayed deserialization. */ @ExperimentalApi("https://github.com/grpc/grpc-java/issues/7387") public interface Detachable { /** * Detaches the underlying data source from this instance and transfers to an {@link * InputStream}. Detaching data from an already-detached instance gives an InputStream with * zero bytes of data. * */ InputStream detach(); }
