pub fn empty<G: Scope, C: Container + Data>(scope: &G) -> StreamCore<G, C>
Expand description
Constructs an empty stream.
This method is useful in patterns where an input is required, but there is no
meaningful data to provide. The replaces patterns like stream.filter(|_| false)
which are just silly.
§Examples
use timely::dataflow::operators::Inspect;
use timely::dataflow::operators::generic::operator::empty;
use timely::dataflow::Scope;
timely::example(|scope| {
empty::<_, Vec<_>>(scope) // type required in this example
.inspect(|()| panic!("never called"));
});
