Combiner
The base trait for all combiners.
A combiner incremental collection construction just like
a regular builder, but also implements an efficient merge operation of two builders
via combine
method. Once the collection is constructed, it may be obtained by invoking
the result
method.

The complexity of the combine
method should be less than linear for best
performance. The result
method doesn't have to be a constant time operation,
but may be performed in parallel.

Abstract methods
Combines the contents of the receiver builder and the other
builder,
producing a new builder containing both their elements.
Combines the contents of the receiver builder and the other
builder,
producing a new builder containing both their elements.
This method may combine the two builders by copying them into a larger collection,
by producing a lazy view that gets evaluated once result
is invoked, or use
a merge operation specific to the data structure in question.
Note that both the receiver builder and other
builder become invalidated
after the invocation of this method, and should be cleared (see clear
)
if they are to be used again.
Also, combining two combiners c1
and c2
for which c1 eq c2
is true
, that is,
they are the same objects in memory:
c1.combine(c2)
always does nothing and returns c1
.
