Interface MapEventTransformer<K,V,U>  
- All Superinterfaces:
 Serializable
- All Known Implementing Classes:
 ExtractorEventTransformer,MapEventTransformerFilter,SamplingEventTransformer,SemiLiteEventTransformer
- Functional Interface:
 - This is a functional interface and can therefore be used as the assignment target for a lambda expression or method reference.
 
MapEventTransformer interface is used to allow an event consumer to change
 the content of a 
MapEvent destined for the corresponding
 MapListener.
 
 In general, the transform method is called after the
 original MapEvent is evaluated by a Filter (such as
 MapEventFilter). The values contained by the
 returned  MapEvent object will be the ones given (sent) to the corresponding
 listener. Returning null will prevent the emission of the event altogether.
 
Note: Currently, the MapEventTransformer interface is supported only by partitioned caches.

Method Details

transform
Transform the specified MapEvent. The values contained by the returned MapEvent object will be the ones given (sent) to the corresponding listener.- Parameters:
 event- the original MapEvent object- Returns:
 - modified MapEvent object or null to discard the event
 
 - 
andThen
Returns a composedMapEventTransformerthat performs, in sequence, this transformation followed by theaftertransformation.If performing either transformation throws an exception, it is relayed to the caller of the composed operation. If performing this transformation throws an exception, the
aftertransformation will not be performed.- Type Parameters:
 T- the resulting transformed type T of the after transformer- Parameters:
 after- the transformation to perform after this transformation- Returns:
 - a composed 
MapEventTransformerthat performs in sequence this transformation followed by theaftertransformation
