Finder (Apache Jena)

All Known Implementing Classes:

FGraph, TransitiveGraphCache
```
public interface Finder
```
Minimal interface for preforming simple pattern find operations. Should be implemented by reasoners, caches and related datastructures.

Method Summary

All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`boolean`	`contains(TriplePattern pattern)`	Return true if the given pattern occurs somewhere in the find sequence.
`ExtendedIterator<Triple>`	`find(TriplePattern pattern)`	Basic pattern lookup interface.
`ExtendedIterator<Triple>`	`findWithContinuation(TriplePattern pattern, Finder continuation)`	Extended find interface used in situations where the implementator may or may not be able to answer the complete query.

- Method Detail
  - find
```
ExtendedIterator<Triple> find(TriplePattern pattern)
```
    Basic pattern lookup interface.
    
    Parameters:
    
    pattern - a TriplePattern to be matched against the data
    
    Returns:
    
    a ClosableIterator over all Triples in the data set that match the pattern
  - findWithContinuation
```
ExtendedIterator<Triple> findWithContinuation(TriplePattern pattern,
                                              Finder continuation)
```
    Extended find interface used in situations where the implementator may or may not be able to answer the complete query. It will attempt to answer the pattern but if its answers are not known to be complete then it will also pass the request on to the nested Finder to append more results.
    
    Parameters:
    
    pattern - a TriplePattern to be matched against the data
    
    continuation - either a Finder or a normal Graph which will be asked for additional match results if the implementor may not have completely satisfied the query.
  - contains
```
boolean contains(TriplePattern pattern)
```
    Return true if the given pattern occurs somewhere in the find sequence.
