Create a many to one channel.
Create a many to one channel.
The channel may aggregate segments emitted concurrently by multiple producers into
a single batch. The behavior depends on the maxSegmentSize passed as parameter to
this factory.
If maxSegmentSize is greater than 0, and the reader is slow, then the channel attempts to
aggregate multiple segments into a single segment whose size cannot exceed maxSegmentSize.
If maxSegmentSize is equal to 0, then the channel doesn't perform any aggregation and delivers
segments one-by-one in the order in which they are produced.
The maximum number of messages buffered in the channel is equal to N * 2 * MaxInputSegmentSize, where: - N is the number of concurrent producers - MaxInputSegmentSize is the maximum size of the segments emitted by producers (in principle, bounded by Platform.segmentSizeThreshold).
If it is greater than 0, the parameter represents the maximum size of the aggregated segments that can be read from the input side of the channel. If it is equal to 0, the segments written to the channel will not be aggregated and read one by one.
the input interfaces of the channel and a factory method for creating an individual output channel interface for each producer.
Factory for multiple-producers, single-consumer cooperative channels
This channel is cooperative and bounded. After it has written a segment, a (producer) user-level thread becomes suspended when it writes its next segment until the previous segment has been entirely delivered to the (consumer) user-level reading on the input interface of this channel.
This channel can only be poisoned from the input side. In other words, any attempt to close an output channel interface associated to a many-to-one channel will be ignored.
