The new streams have excellent support for high/low watermarks and auto-pausing/resuming, but the documentation confuses me a little... particularly the read method.
When I read the new docs for the first time I was under the impression that the optimal way to become a user of a stream is to write loops around the read functio. However in practice I find myself simply writing custom writeStreams and use the callback to control upstream pressure (in addition to source Watermarks if needed). Here is an example where I move the output to a queue that executes a custom function in parallel (i.e. uploading to a database) https://gist.github.com/ZJONSSON/5189249 Are there any benefits to using the read method directly on a stream vs. piping to a custom Writable stream? -- -- Job Board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ Posting guidelines: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
