EventProcessor (Disruptor)

All Superinterfaces:

java.lang.Runnable

All Known Implementing Classes:

BatchEventProcessor, NoOpEventProcessor
```
public interface EventProcessor
extends java.lang.Runnable
```
An EventProcessor needs to be an implementation of a runnable that will poll for events from the RingBuffer using the appropriate wait strategy. It is unlikely that you will need to implement this interface yourself. Look at using the EventHandler interface along with the pre-supplied BatchEventProcessor in the first instance.
An EventProcessor will generally be associated with a Thread for execution.

Method Summary

All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`Sequence`	`getSequence()`	Get a reference to the `Sequence` being used by this `EventProcessor`.
`void`	`halt()`	Signal that this EventProcessor should stop when it has finished consuming at the next clean break.
`boolean`	`isRunning()`

- Method Detail
  - getSequence
```
Sequence getSequence()
```
    Get a reference to the Sequence being used by this EventProcessor.
    
    Returns:
    
    reference to the Sequence for this EventProcessor
  - halt
```
void halt()
```
    Signal that this EventProcessor should stop when it has finished consuming at the next clean break. It will call SequenceBarrier.alert() to notify the thread to check status.
  - isRunning
```
boolean isRunning()
```
    Returns:
    
    whether this event processor is running or not Implementations should ideally return false only when the associated thread is idle.
