NAME

Scheduler

DESCRIPTION

Abstract base class for schedulers. Should not be instantiated directly.

METHODS

new

Should never be called; subclasses should override.

get_next_unique

get_next_unique should return the next scheduled item, according to whatever scheduling scheme the subclass implements. The same item should *not* be returned more than once between calls to reset_available.

next_available

If there are items in the scheduler that have not already been dispensed since the last call to 'reset_available', next_available should return the minimum amount of time (in floating seconds) until one of them might become available.

If there will never be any such items available, it should return -1.

In Geo::Coder::Many, next_available is used to tell the result-picker whether it is worth waiting for more results.

reset_available

This is called in order to indicate that all items should once more be made available.

process_feedback

This is called to provide information about the performance of a geocoder. Does nothing by default.
