1    Introduction

1.1    Installation

Add [xyz.zcaudate/std.lib "4.1.5"] to project.clj dependencies.

1.2    Top Level

The top level functionality in std.lib.stream are:

  • produce: Converts different data types (like ranges, lists, or even functions) into a uniform sequence that can be processed.
  • collect: Gathers the processed data into a desired output format, such as a vector, list, or a Java collection.
  • pipeline: Creates a composite transducer from a series of individual transformation steps, enabling complex data manipulation.
  • pipe: Connects a data source, a transformation pipeline, and a data sink to execute an entire stream operation.
  • producer: Creates a lazy sequence from a source and a pipeline, allowing on-demand data generation.
  • collector: Returns a function that, when given a source, collects the processed data into a specified sink after applying a pipeline.
  • stream / *>: A versatile function/macro that intelligently acts as a pipeline, producer, collector, or pipe based on the arguments provided, simplifying stream construction.

1.3    Produce

The produce function in std.lib.stream is designed to convert various data structures into a sequence, making them suitable for stream processing. Here are some examples of how it's used with different input types:

(require '[std.lib.stream :as s])

Producing from a range

(s/produce (range 5))
=> '(0 1 2 3 4)
(require '[std.lib.stream :as s])
(s/produce (fn [] 1))

;; If a function returns a sequence:

2    Walkthrough

2.1    Producing and collecting

produce turns different sources into a uniform sequence. collect consumes a sequence into a sink such as a vector, list, or Java collection.

produce a sequence from different sources

(s/produce (range 5))
=> '(0 1 2 3 4)

(s/produce [1 2 3])
=> [1 2 3]

(s/produce (fn [] 1))
=> '(1)

collect into various sinks

(s/collect [] (range 5))
=> [0 1 2 3 4]

(s/collect () (range 5))
=> '(4 3 2 1 0)

2.2    Pipelines and pipes

A pipeline is a composition of named transform steps. pipe wires a source, pipeline, and sink together in one call.

build and run a pipeline

(s/pipe (range 5)
        [[:map inc]
         [:map inc]]
        [])
=> [2 3 4 5 6]

filter and take elements

(s/pipe (range 20)
        [[:filter even?]
         [:take 5]
         [:map #(/ % 2)]]
        [])
=> [0 1 2 3 4]

2.3    Producers and collectors

producer returns a lazy sequence; collector returns a reusable function. Combine them to build reusable stream stages.

create a lazy producer

(take 3 (s/producer (range 100)
                    [[:map inc]
                     [:filter odd?]]))
=> '(3 5 7)

create a reusable collector

(let [collect-odds (s/collector [[:filter odd?]] [])]
  (collect-odds (range 10))
  => [1 3 5 7 9]

  (collect-odds [[:map inc]] (range 5))
  => [2 4])

2.4    The stream shorthand

stream (and the *> macro) chooses between pipe, producer, collector, and pipeline based on which connectors are supplied. Use <*> for a missing connector.

use stream as a pipe

(s/stream (range 5)
          [:map inc]
          [])
=> [1 2 3 4 5]

use stream as a producer

(s/stream (range 5)
          [:map inc]
          (s/<*>))
=> seq?

use stream as a collector

(let [collect+1 (s/stream (s/<*>)
                          [:map inc])]
  (collect+1 (range 5))
  => [1 2 3 4 5])

use the *> macro

(s/*> (range 5)
      (s/produce (range 1 6))
      [])
=> [1 2 3 4 5]

2.5    End-to-end: build a reusable data pipeline

A complete workflow: produce from a source, filter, transform, partition, and collect into a sink.

filter even numbers, pair them, and collect

(-> (s/pipe (range 10)
            [[:filter even?]
             [:partition-all 2]
             [:map vec]]
            [])
    (conj [8 9]))
=> [[0 2] [4 6] [8]]

3    Summary and Examples

The std.lib.stream library provides a powerful and flexible way to process data by composing transformations into pipelines. It extends Clojure's sequence and transducer capabilities, allowing you to define how data flows from various sources to different types of sinks.

5    std.lib.stream: A Comprehensive Summary

The std.lib.stream module provides a powerful and flexible framework for processing sequences of data using transducers. It abstracts over various data sources (producers) and sinks (collectors), allowing for the construction of complex data pipelines with a unified API. The module extends Clojure's transducer capabilities with a rich set of custom transducers (xform namespace) and provides seamless integration with Java Streams and other collection types.

The module is organized into two main sub-namespaces:

5.1    std.lib.stream.xform

This namespace provides a comprehensive collection of transducers (transforming functions) that can be used in data processing pipelines. These transducers extend and complement Clojure's built-in transducers, offering functionalities for mapping, filtering, reducing, statistical analysis, and windowing.

  • x:map [& [f]]: A transducer that applies a function f to each element.n x:map-indexed [f]: A transducer that applies a function f to [index element] pairs.n x:filter [& [pred]]: A transducer that retains elements for which pred returns true.n x:remove [& [f]]: A transducer that removes elements for which f returns true.n x:keep [& [f]]: A transducer that retains non-nil results of applying f to each element.n x:keep-indexed [f]: A transducer that retains non-nil results of applying f to [index element] pairs.n x:prn [& [f]]: A transducer that prints each element (or (f element)) as a side effect.n x:peek [& [f]]: A transducer that applies f to each element as a side effect, returning the original element.n x:delay [ms]: A transducer that introduces a delay (in milliseconds) after processing each element.n x:mapcat [& [f]]: A transducer that maps a function f over elements and concatenates the results.n x:pass [& [init]]: An identity transducer.n x:apply [rf]: A transducer that applies a reduction function rf to the accumulated result.n x:reduce [f & [init]]: A transducer that accumulates results using a reduction function f.n x:take [& [n]]: A transducer that takes up to n elements.n x:take-last [n]: A transducer that takes the last n elements.n x:drop [& [n]]: A transducer that drops n elements from the beginning.n x:drop-last [n]: A transducer that drops the last n elements.n x:butlast []: A transducer that drops the last element.n x:some [& [f]]: A transducer that returns the first non-nil result of applying f to elements, or nil.n x:last []: A transducer that returns the last element.n x:count []: A transducer that counts the number of elements.n x:min [& [comparator]]: A transducer that finds the minimum element.n x:max [& [comparator]]: A transducer that finds the maximum element.n x:mean []: A transducer that calculates the mean of numeric elements.n x:stdev []: A transducer that calculates the standard deviation of numeric elements.n x:str []: A transducer that concatenates elements into a single string.n x:sort [& [cmp]]: A transducer that sorts all elements.n x:sort-by [xf & [cmp]]: A transducer that sorts elements based on a key function xf.n x:reductions [f & [init]]: A transducer that produces a sequence of intermediate reduction results.n x:wrap [open close]: A transducer that wraps the sequence with open and close elements.n x:time [tag-or-f xform]: A transducer that measures the time taken to process elements, printing the result.n* x:window [n & [f invf]]: A transducer that produces a sliding window of n elements.

5.2    std.lib.stream (Main Namespace)

This namespace provides the core API for constructing and executing data pipelines using transducers, integrating various data sources and sinks.

  • produce [obj]: A generic function (multimethod via protocol.stream/-produce) that converts an object into a sequence (producer).n collect [sink xf supply]: A generic function (multimethod via protocol.stream/-collect) that consumes a sequence supply (optionally transformed by xf) into a sink (collector).n seqiter [& [xform] coll & colls]: Creates a non-chunking iterator from a transducer and a collection, useful for fine-grained control over iteration.n unit [xform input]: Applies a transducer xform to a single input.n extend-stream-form [type-map]: Helper for extend-stream macro.n extend-stream [all]: A macro to extend std.protocol.stream/ISource and std.protocol.stream/ISink to various types based on a map of type-to-produce/collect functions.n *transforms*: An atom holding a map of all available transducers (from std.lib.stream.xform) keyed by their symbolic names.n add-transforms [key xform & more]: Adds custom transducers to *transforms*.n pipeline-transform [stages]: Converts a list of stage definitions (e.g., [:map inc]) into a list of actual transducer functions.n pipeline [stages]: Creates a composite transducer (pipeline) from a list of stage definitions.n pipe [source stages sink]: The core function for executing a stream. It takes a source, a list of stages (transducers), and a sink, piping data from source through stages to sink.n producer [source stages]: Creates a sequence producer from a source and a list of stages.n collector [stages sink]: Creates a collection function (sink) from a list of stages and a sink.n <*>: A keyword (:stream/<*>) used as a placeholder to denote a missing source or sink in stream operations.n stream [source & args]: A versatile function that constructs and executes stream operations. It can act as a pipeline, producer, collector, or pipe depending on whether <*> is used for source or sink.n *> [& args]: A shortcut macro for stream.n Producer/Collector Implementations:n produce-nil, produce-object, produce-ifn, produce-callable, produce-supplier: Functions to produce sequences from nil, generic objects, functions, Callables, and Suppliers.n collect-nil, collect-ifn: Functions to collect sequences into nil or by applying a function.n +stream:fn+: A map defining produce/collect implementations for various function-like types.n +stream:primitive+: A map defining produce/collect implementations for Java primitive arrays.n primitive-form [type-map]: Helper for gen:primitives.n gen:primitives []: A macro to generate produce/collect functions for primitive arrays.n collect-transient, collect-collection: Functions to collect sequences into ITransientCollections and java.util.Collections.n +stream:java+, +stream:clojure+: Maps defining produce/collect implementations for various Java and Clojure collection types.n to-stream [arr]: Converts a Clojure sequence to a java.util.stream.Stream.n produce-stream [source]: Produces a sequence from a java.util.stream.Stream.n collect-collector [sink xf supply]: Collects a sequence into a java.util.stream.Collector.n +stream:base+: Map defining produce/collect implementations for Java Streams and Collectors.n produce-deref [source]: Produces a sequence by dereferencing a source.n collect-promise [sink xf supply]: Collects a sequence into a Promise.n +stream:promise+, +stream:future+: Maps defining produce/collect implementations for Promises and Futures.n Sources:n atom-seq [atm f]: Constructs a lazy sequence by repeatedly updating and yielding values from an atom.n object-seq [obj f]: Constructs a lazy sequence by repeatedly applying a function f to an object and yielding the result.

Overall Importance:

The std.lib.stream module is a fundamental component for data processing and transformation within the foundation-base project. Its key contributions include:

  • Unified Data Processing API: Provides a consistent and flexible way to define and execute data pipelines, regardless of the underlying data source or sink.n Transducer-Based Efficiency: Leverages Clojure's transducers for efficient, composable, and lazy data transformations, minimizing intermediate allocations.n Extensibility: The protocol-driven design allows for easy integration of new data sources, sinks, and custom transducers.n Interoperability: Seamlessly integrates with various Java and Clojure collection types, as well as Java Streams, Callable, Supplier, Future, and Promise.n Rich Set of Transformations: The xform namespace provides a comprehensive library of transducers for common data manipulation, aggregation, and statistical analysis tasks.n* Declarative Pipeline Construction: The pipeline and stream functions allow for declarative definition of data processing workflows, improving readability and maintainability.
