Type Parameters:

E - Type of collected values.

R - Type of reduced value.

All Known Implementing Classes:

GridReducerX, RX1

public interface GridReducer<E,R>
extends Serializable

Defines generic reducer that collects multiple values and reduces them into one. Reducers are useful in computations when results from multiple remote jobs need to be reduced into one, e.g. GridCompute.call(Collection, GridReducer) method.
