Batch processing is a pervasive workload pattern, expressed by a distinct application organization and execution model. It is found across virtually every industry, applied to such tasks as statement generation, bank postings, risk evaluation, credit score calculation, inventory management, portfolio optimization, and on and on. Nearly any bulk processing task from any business sector is a candidate for batch processing. Batch processing is typified by bulk-oriented, non-interactive, background execution. Frequently long- running, it may be data or computationally intensive, execute sequentially or in parallel, and may be initiated through various invocation models, including ad hoc, scheduled, and on-demand. Batch applications have common requirements, including logging, checkpointing, and parallelization. Batch workloads have common requirements, especially operational control, which allow for initiation of, and interaction with, batch instances; such interactions include stop and restart.

This project is a collection of miscellaneous tools shared by a number of projects of the same author. There are **simple tuples** to use with Java Streams, **type-safe maps** ([inspired by the heterogeneous map pattern](https://www.informit.com/articles/article.aspx?p=2861454&seqNum=8)) described in Effective Java by Joshua Bloch, a **finder** that handles in a smart way queries to data sources, a facility to use the **DCI (Data, Context and Interactions) architectural pattern**, a simple **message bus** suitable for using the pub-sub pattern inside an application, some **test utilities**, an **experimental actor framework** and a few other small things. Yes, the project name is a tribute to the [jazz standard with the same name](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/These_Foolish_Things_(Remind_Me_of_You)) by Maschwitz and Strachey.
