MessageConsumer (Vert.x Stack

All Superinterfaces:

ReadStream<Message<T>>, StreamBase
```
public interface MessageConsumer<T>
extends ReadStream<Message<T>>
```
An event bus consumer object representing a stream of message to an EventBus address that can be read from.
The EventBus.consumer(String) or EventBus.localConsumer(String) creates a new consumer, the returned consumer is not yet registered against the event bus. Registration is effective after the handler(io.vertx.core.Handler) method is invoked.
The consumer is unregistered from the event bus using the unregister() method or by calling the handler(io.vertx.core.Handler) with a null value..

All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods
Modifier and Type	Method and Description
`String`	`address()`
`ReadStream<T>`	`bodyStream()`
`void`	`completionHandler(Handler<AsyncResult<Void>> completionHandler)` Optional method which can be called to indicate when the registration has been propagated across the cluster.
`MessageConsumer<T>`	`endHandler(Handler<Void> endHandler)` Set an end handler.
`MessageConsumer<T>`	`exceptionHandler(Handler<Throwable> handler)` Set an exception handler on the read stream.
`MessageConsumer<T>`	`fetch(long amount)` Fetch the specified `amount` of elements.
`int`	`getMaxBufferedMessages()`
`MessageConsumer<T>`	`handler(Handler<Message<T>> handler)` Set a data handler.
`boolean`	`isRegistered()`
`MessageConsumer<T>`	`pause()` Pause the `ReadStream`, it sets the buffer in `fetch` mode and clears the actual demand.
`MessageConsumer<T>`	`resume()` Resume reading, and sets the buffer in `flowing` mode.
`MessageConsumer<T>`	`setMaxBufferedMessages(int maxBufferedMessages)` Set the number of messages this registration will buffer when this stream is paused.
`void`	`unregister()` Unregisters the handler which created this registration
`void`	`unregister(Handler<AsyncResult<Void>> completionHandler)` Unregisters the handler which created this registration

  - exceptionHandler
```
MessageConsumer<T> exceptionHandler(Handler<Throwable> handler)
```
    Description copied from interface: ReadStream
    
    Set an exception handler on the read stream.
    
    Specified by:
    
    exceptionHandler in interface ReadStream<Message<T>>
    
    Specified by:
    
    exceptionHandler in interface StreamBase
    
    Parameters:
    
    handler - the exception handler
    
    Returns:
    
    a reference to this, so the API can be used fluently
  - handler
```
MessageConsumer<T> handler(Handler<Message<T>> handler)
```
    Description copied from interface: ReadStream
    
    Set a data handler. As data is read, the handler will be called with the data.
    
    Specified by:
    
    handler in interface ReadStream<Message<T>>
    
    Returns:
    
    a reference to this, so the API can be used fluently
  - pause
```
MessageConsumer<T> pause()
```
    Description copied from interface: ReadStream
    
    Pause the ReadStream, it sets the buffer in fetch mode and clears the actual demand.
    While it's paused, no data will be sent to the data handler.
    
    Specified by:
    
    pause in interface ReadStream<Message<T>>
    
    Returns:
    
    a reference to this, so the API can be used fluently
  - resume
```
MessageConsumer<T> resume()
```
    Description copied from interface: ReadStream
    
    Resume reading, and sets the buffer in flowing mode.
    If the ReadStream has been paused, reading will recommence on it.
    
    Specified by:
    
    resume in interface ReadStream<Message<T>>
    
    Returns:
    
    a reference to this, so the API can be used fluently
  - fetch
```
MessageConsumer<T> fetch(long amount)
```
    Description copied from interface: ReadStream
    
    Fetch the specified amount of elements. If the ReadStream has been paused, reading will recommence with the specified amount of items, otherwise the specified amount will be added to the current stream demand.
    
    Specified by:
    
    fetch in interface ReadStream<Message<T>>
    
    Returns:
    
    a reference to this, so the API can be used fluently
  - endHandler
```
MessageConsumer<T> endHandler(Handler<Void> endHandler)
```
    Description copied from interface: ReadStream
    
    Set an end handler. Once the stream has ended, and there is no more data to be read, this handler will be called.
    
    Specified by:
    
    endHandler in interface ReadStream<Message<T>>
    
    Returns:
    
    a reference to this, so the API can be used fluently
  - bodyStream
```
ReadStream<T> bodyStream()
```
    Returns:
    
    a read stream for the body of the message stream.
  - isRegistered
```
boolean isRegistered()
```
    Returns:
    
    true if the current consumer is registered
  - address
```
String address()
```
    Returns:
    
    The address the handler was registered with.
  - setMaxBufferedMessages
```
MessageConsumer<T> setMaxBufferedMessages(int maxBufferedMessages)
```
    Set the number of messages this registration will buffer when this stream is paused. The default value is 1000.
    When a new value is set, buffered messages may be discarded to reach the new value. The most recent messages will be kept.
    
    Parameters:
    
    maxBufferedMessages - the maximum number of messages that can be buffered
    
    Returns:
    
    this registration
  - getMaxBufferedMessages
```
int getMaxBufferedMessages()
```
    Returns:
    
    the maximum number of messages that can be buffered when this stream is paused
  - completionHandler
```
void completionHandler(Handler<AsyncResult<Void>> completionHandler)
```
    Optional method which can be called to indicate when the registration has been propagated across the cluster.
    
    Parameters:
    
    completionHandler - the completion handler
  - unregister
```
void unregister()
```
    Unregisters the handler which created this registration
  - unregister
```
void unregister(Handler<AsyncResult<Void>> completionHandler)
```
    Unregisters the handler which created this registration
    
    Parameters:
    
    completionHandler - the handler called when the unregister is done. For example in a cluster when all nodes of the event bus have been unregistered.
