If an exception is thrown from OnPull(IContext) the stream will always be completed with failure, because it is not always possible to recover from that state. In concrete stages it is of course possible to use ordinary try-catch-recover inside OnPull(IContext) when it is know how to recover from such exceptions.

This method is called when an element from upstream is available and there is demand from downstream, i.e. in OnPush(TIn, TContext) you are allowed to call Push(Object) to emit one element downstreams, or you can absorb the element by calling Pull. Note that you can only emit zero or one element downstream from OnPull(TContext).

To emit more than one element you have to push the remaining elements from OnPull(TContext), one-by-one. OnPush(TIn, TContext) is not called again until OnPull(TContext) has requested more elements with Pull.

OnUpstreamFailure(Exception, IContext) is called when upstream has signaled that the stream is completed with failure. It is not called if OnPull(TContext) or OnPush(TIn, TContext) of the stage itself throws an exception.

Note that elements that were emitted by upstream before the failure happened might not have been received by this stage when OnUpstreamFailure(Exception, IContext) is called, i.e. failures are not backpressured and might be propagated as soon as possible.

Here you cannot call Push(Object), because there might not be any demand from downstream. To emit additional elements before terminating you can use AbsorbTermination and push final elements from OnPull(TContext). The stage will then be in finishing state, which can be checked with IsFinishing.

OnUpstreamFailure(Exception, IContext) is called when upstream has signaled that the stream is completed with failure. It is not called if OnPull(TContext) or OnPush(TIn, TContext) of the stage itself throws an exception.

Note that elements that were emitted by upstream before the failure happened might not have been received by this stage when OnUpstreamFailure(Exception, IContext) is called, i.e. failures are not backpressured and might be propagated as soon as possible.

Here you cannot call Push(Object), because there might not be any demand from downstream. To emit additional elements before terminating you can use AbsorbTermination and push final elements from OnPull(TContext). The stage will then be in finishing state, which can be checked with IsFinishing.

This method is called when upstream has signaled that the stream is successfully completed. Here you cannot call Push(Object), because there might not be any demand from downstream. To emit additional elements before terminating you can use AbsorbTermination and push final elements from OnPull(TContext). The stage will then be in finishing state, which can be checked with IsFinishing.

By default the finish signal is immediately propagated with Finish.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: this signal is not back-pressured, it might arrive from upstream even though the last action by this stage was a "push".

It is called before any other method defined on the IStageTIn, TOut. Empty default implementation.
