=head1 NAME

MCE::Stream - Parallel stream model for chaining multiple maps and greps

=head1 VERSION

This document describes MCE::Stream version 1.900

=head1 SYNOPSIS

 ## Exports mce_stream, mce_stream_f, mce_stream_s
 use MCE::Stream;

 my (@m1, @m2, @m3);

 ## Default mode is map and processed from right-to-left
 @m1 = mce_stream sub { $_ * 3 }, sub { $_ * 2 }, 1..10000;
 mce_stream \@m2, sub { $_ * 3 }, sub { $_ * 2 }, 1..10000;

 ## Native Perl
 @m3 = map { $_ * $_ } grep { $_ % 5 == 0 } 1..10000;

 ## Streaming grep and map in parallel
 mce_stream \@m3,
    { mode => 'map',  code => sub { $_ * $_ } },
    { mode => 'grep', code => sub { $_ % 5 == 0 } }, 1..10000;

 ## Array or array_ref
 my @a = mce_stream sub { $_ * $_ }, 1..10000;
 my @b = mce_stream sub { $_ * $_ }, \@list;

 ## Important; pass an array_ref for deeply input data
 my @c = mce_stream sub { $_->[1] *= 2; $_ }, [ [ 0, 1 ], [ 0, 2 ], ... ];
 my @d = mce_stream sub { $_->[1] *= 2; $_ }, \@deeply_list;

 ## File path, glob ref, IO::All::{ File, Pipe, STDIO } obj, or scalar ref
 ## Workers read directly and not involve the manager process
 my @e = mce_stream_f sub { chomp; $_ }, "/path/to/file"; # efficient

 ## Involves the manager process, therefore slower
 my @f = mce_stream_f sub { chomp; $_ }, $file_handle;
 my @g = mce_stream_f sub { chomp; $_ }, $io;
 my @h = mce_stream_f sub { chomp; $_ }, \$scalar;

 ## Sequence of numbers (begin, end [, step, format])
 my @i = mce_stream_s sub { $_ * $_ }, 1, 10000, 5;
 my @j = mce_stream_s sub { $_ * $_ }, [ 1, 10000, 5 ];

 my @k = mce_stream_s sub { $_ * $_ }, {
    begin => 1, end => 10000, step => 5, format => undef
 };

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module allows one to stream multiple map and/or grep operations in
parallel. Code blocks run simultaneously from right-to-left. The results
are appended immediately when providing a reference to an array.

 ## Appends are serialized, even out-of-order ok, but immediately.
 ## Out-of-order chunks are held temporarily until ordered chunks
 ## arrive.

 mce_stream \@a, sub { $_ }, sub { $_ }, sub { $_ }, 1..10000;

 ##                                                    input
 ##                                        chunk1      input
 ##                            chunk3      chunk2      input
 ##                chunk2      chunk2      chunk3      input
 ##   append1      chunk3      chunk1      chunk4      input
 ##   append2      chunk1      chunk5      chunk5      input
 ##   append3      chunk5      chunk4      chunk6      ...
 ##   append4      chunk4      chunk6      ...
 ##   append5      chunk6      ...
 ##   append6      ...
 ##   ...
 ##

MCE incurs a small overhead due to passing of data. A fast code block will
run faster natively when chaining multiple map functions. However, the
overhead will likely diminish as the complexity increases for the code.

 ## 0.334 secs -- baseline using the native map function
 my @m1 = map { $_ * 4 } map { $_ * 3 } map { $_ * 2 } 1..1000000;

 ## 0.427 secs -- this is quite amazing considering data passing
 my @m2 = mce_stream
       sub { $_ * 4 }, sub { $_ * 3 }, sub { $_ * 2 }, 1..1000000;

 ## 0.355 secs -- appends to @m3 immediately, not after running
 my @m3; mce_stream \@m3,
       sub { $_ * 4 }, sub { $_ * 3 }, sub { $_ * 2 }, 1..1000000;

Even faster is mce_stream_s; useful when input data is a range of numbers.
Workers generate sequences mathematically among themselves without any
interaction from the manager process. Two arguments are required for
mce_stream_s (begin, end). Step defaults to 1 if begin is smaller than end,
otherwise -1.

 ## 0.278 secs -- numbers are generated mathematically via sequence
 my @m4; mce_stream_s \@m4,
       sub { $_ * 4 }, sub { $_ * 3 }, sub { $_ * 2 }, 1, 1000000;

=head1 OVERRIDING DEFAULTS

The following list options which may be overridden when loading the module.
The fast option is obsolete in 1.867 onwards; ignored if specified.

 use Sereal qw( encode_sereal decode_sereal );
 use CBOR::XS qw( encode_cbor decode_cbor );
 use JSON::XS qw( encode_json decode_json );

 use MCE::Stream
     max_workers => 8,                # Default 'auto'
     chunk_size => 500,               # Default 'auto'
     tmp_dir => "/path/to/app/tmp",   # $MCE::Signal::tmp_dir
     freeze => \&encode_sereal,       # \&Storable::freeze
     thaw => \&decode_sereal,         # \&Storable::thaw
     init_relay => 0,                 # Default undef; MCE 1.882+
     use_threads => 0,                # Default undef; MCE 1.882+
     default_mode => 'grep',          # Default 'map'
 ;

From MCE 1.8 onwards, Sereal 3.015+ is loaded automatically if available.
Specify C<< Sereal => 0 >> to use Storable instead.

 use MCE::Stream Sereal => 0;

=head1 CUSTOMIZING MCE

=over 3

=item MCE::Stream->init ( options )

=item MCE::Stream::init { options }

=back

The init function accepts a hash of MCE options. The gather and bounds_only
options, if specified, are ignored due to being used internally by the
module (not shown below).

In scalar context (API available since 1.897), call C<MCE::Stream->finish>
automatically upon leaving the scope or program.

 use MCE::Stream;

 my $guard = MCE::Stream->init(
    chunk_size => 1, max_workers => 4,

    user_begin => sub {
       print "## ", MCE->wid, " started\n";
    },

    user_end => sub {
       print "## ", MCE->wid, " completed\n";
    }
 );

 my @a = mce_stream sub { $_ * $_ }, 1..100;

 print "\n", "@a", "\n";

 -- Output

 ## 1 started
 ## 2 started
 ## 3 started
 ## 4 started
 ## 3 completed
 ## 1 completed
 ## 2 completed
 ## 4 completed

 1 4 9 16 25 36 49 64 81 100 121 144 169 196 225 256 289 324 361

Like with MCE::Stream->init above, MCE options may be specified using an
anonymous hash for the first argument. Notice how both max_workers and
task_name can take an anonymous array for setting values uniquely
per each code block.

Remember that MCE::Stream processes from right-to-left when setting the
individual values.

 use MCE::Stream;

 my @a = mce_stream {
    task_name   => [ 'c', 'b', 'a' ],
    max_workers => [  2,   4,   3, ],

    user_end => sub {
       my ($mce, $task_id, $task_name) = @_;
       print "$task_id - $task_name completed\n";
    },

    task_end => sub {
       my ($mce, $task_id, $task_name) = @_;
       MCE->print("$task_id - $task_name ended\n");
    }
 },
 sub { $_ * 4 },             ## 2 workers, named c
 sub { $_ * 3 },             ## 4 workers, named b
 sub { $_ * 2 }, 1..10000;   ## 3 workers, named a

 -- Output

 0 - a completed
 0 - a completed
 0 - a completed
 0 - a ended
 1 - b completed
 1 - b completed
 1 - b completed
 1 - b completed
 1 - b ended
 2 - c completed
 2 - c completed
 2 - c ended

Note that the anonymous hash, for specifying options, also comes first when
passing an array reference.

 my @a; mce_stream {
    ...
 }, \@a, sub { ... }, sub { ... }, 1..10000;

=head1 API DOCUMENTATION

Scripts using MCE::Stream can be written using the long or short form.
The long form becomes relevant when mixing modes. Again, processing
occurs from right-to-left.

 my @m3 = mce_stream
    { mode => 'map',  code => sub { $_ * $_ } },
    { mode => 'grep', code => sub { $_ % 5 == 0 } }, 1..10000;

 my @m4; mce_stream \@m4,
    { mode => 'map',  code => sub { $_ * $_ } },
    { mode => 'grep', code => sub { $_ % 5 == 0 } }, 1..10000;

For multiple grep blocks, the short form can be used. Simply specify the
default mode for the module. The two valid values for default_mode is 'grep'
and 'map'.

 use MCE::Stream default_mode => 'grep';

 my @f = mce_stream_f sub { /ending$/ }, sub { /^starting/ }, $file;

The following assumes 'map' for default_mode in order to demonstrate all the
possibilities for providing input data.

=over 3

=item MCE::Stream->run ( sub { code }, list )

=item mce_stream sub { code }, list

=back

Input data may be defined using a list or an array reference. Unlike MCE::Loop,
Flow, and Step, specifying a hash reference as input data isn't allowed.

 ## Array or array_ref
 my @a = mce_stream sub { $_ * 2 }, 1..1000;
 my @b = mce_stream sub { $_ * 2 }, \@list;

 ## Important; pass an array_ref for deeply input data
 my @c = mce_stream sub { $_->[1] *= 2; $_ }, [ [ 0, 1 ], [ 0, 2 ], ... ];
 my @d = mce_stream sub { $_->[1] *= 2; $_ }, \@deeply_list;

 ## Not supported
 my @z = mce_stream sub { ... }, \%hash;

=over 3

=item MCE::Stream->run_file ( sub { code }, file )

=item mce_stream_f sub { code }, file

=back

The fastest of these is the /path/to/file. Workers communicate the next offset
position among themselves with zero interaction by the manager process.

C<IO::All> { File, Pipe, STDIO } is supported since MCE 1.845.

 my @c = mce_stream_f sub { chomp; $_ . "\r\n" }, "/path/to/file";  # faster
 my @d = mce_stream_f sub { chomp; $_ . "\r\n" }, $file_handle;
 my @e = mce_stream_f sub { chomp; $_ . "\r\n" }, $io;              # IO::All
 my @f = mce_stream_f sub { chomp; $_ . "\r\n" }, \$scalar;

=over 3

=item MCE::Stream->run_seq ( sub { code }, $beg, $end [, $step, $fmt ] )

=item mce_stream_s sub { code }, $beg, $end [, $step, $fmt ]

=back

Sequence may be defined as a list, an array reference, or a hash reference.
The functions require both begin and end values to run. Step and format are
optional. The format is passed to sprintf (% may be omitted below).

 my ($beg, $end, $step, $fmt) = (10, 20, 0.1, "%4.1f");

 my @f = mce_stream_s sub { $_ }, $beg, $end, $step, $fmt;
 my @g = mce_stream_s sub { $_ }, [ $beg, $end, $step, $fmt ];

 my @h = mce_stream_s sub { $_ }, {
    begin => $beg, end => $end, step => $step, format => $fmt
 };

=over 3

=item MCE::Stream->run ( { input_data => iterator }, sub { code } )

=item mce_stream { input_data => iterator }, sub { code }

=back

An iterator reference may be specified for input_data. The only other way
is to specify input_data via MCE::Stream->init. This prevents MCE::Stream
from configuring the iterator reference as another user task which will
not work.

Iterators are described under section "SYNTAX for INPUT_DATA" at L<MCE::Core>.

 MCE::Stream->init(
    input_data => iterator
 );

 my @a = mce_stream sub { $_ * 3 }, sub { $_ * 2 };

=head1 MANUAL SHUTDOWN

=over 3

=item MCE::Stream->finish

=item MCE::Stream::finish

=back

Workers remain persistent as much as possible after running. Shutdown occurs
automatically when the script terminates. Call finish when workers are no
longer needed.

 use MCE::Stream;

 MCE::Stream->init(
    chunk_size => 20, max_workers => 'auto'
 );

 my @a = mce_stream { ... } 1..100;

 MCE::Stream->finish;
