data or events?

[Lasse Reichstein Nielsen, 2014/03/19 15:25:27]

Data. It's as generic as it can get. "Event" means async, this does not.

+ *
+ * Multiple data values can be put into a sink, and when no more data are

no more data is ?

[Lasse Reichstein Nielsen, 2014/03/19 15:25:27]

+ * available, the sink should be closed.
+ *
+ * This is a generic interface that other data receivers can implement.

Add space after.

[Lasse Reichstein Nielsen, 2014/03/19 15:25:27]

Done.
