Interface StageDriverFactory<T extends StageDriver>

All Known Implementing Classes:

DedicatedThreadStageDriverFactory, SynchronousStageDriverFactory, ThreadPoolStageDriverFactory

public interface StageDriverFactory<T extends StageDriver>

This interface represents a factory that is used by a Pipeline to create a driver for a Stage when that stage is added to the pipeline. The factory pattern is used here to ensure that each stage is run by a unique driver instance.

In order to guarantee that StageDriverFactory instances can be used effectively in configuration frameworks, each StageDriverFactory implementation must provide a no-argument constructor.
