| /** |
| * Push-based result set reader, in which the caller obtains batches |
| * and registers them with the implementation. The client thus is responsible |
| * for detecting the end of batches and releasing memory. General protocol: |
| * <p> |
| * <ul> |
| * <li>Create an instance and bind it to a batch source.</li> |
| * <li>Obtain a batch, typically by having it passed in.</li> |
| * <li>Call {@link #start()} to obtain a reader for that batch.</li> |
| * <li>Iterate over the rows.</li> |
| * <li>Release memory for the batch.</li> |
| * </ul> |
| * <p> |
| * In Drill, |
| * batches may have the same or different schemas. Each call to |
| * {@link #start()} prepares a {@link RowSetReader} to use for |
| * the available batch. If the batch has the same schema as the previous, |
| * then the existing reader is simply repositioned at the start of the |
| * batch. If the schema changed (or this is the first batch), then a |
| * new reader is created. Thus, the client should not assume that the |
| * same reader is available across calls. However, if it is useful to |
| * cache column writers, simply check if the reader returned from |
| * {@code start()} is the same as the previous one. If so, the column |
| * writers are also the same. |
