-------------------------------------------
Summary: Add IteratorQueue
Key: COLLECTIONS-460
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COLLECTIONS-460
Project: Commons Collections
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Iterator
Reporter: Thomas Neidhart
Fix For: 4.0
An IteratorQueue is equivalent to an IteratorChain with the difference that the
iterators to use is put into a queue instead of an list, and they are removed
from the queue if an iterator is exhausted.
The IteratorChain keeps the iterators in the list even if they are exhausted,
thus they can not be gc'ed until the whole chain is done. The interface of
IteratorChain also contains a getIterators method, which returns the list of
iterators used by this chain. So instead of changing the IteratorChain, I
propose to add a separate class IteratorQueue with the described behavior.
