  31  * The event stream structure in TMF. In its basic form, a trace has:
  32  * <ul>
  33  * <li> an associated Eclipse resource
  34  * <li> a path to its location on the file system
  35  * <li> the type of the events it contains
  36  * <li> the number of events it contains
  37  * <li> the time range (span) of the events it contains
  38  * </ul>
  39  * Concrete ITmfTrace classes have to provide a parameter-less constructor and
  40  * an initialization method (<i>initTrace</i>) if they are to be opened from
  41  * the Project View. Also, a validation method (<i>validate</i>) has to be
  42  * provided to ensure that the trace is of the correct type.
  43  * <p>
  44  * A trace can be accessed simultaneously from multiple threads by various
  45  * application components. To avoid obvious multi-threading issues, the trace
  46  * uses an ITmfContext as a synchronization aid for its read operations.
  47  * <p>
  48  * A proper ITmfContext can be obtained by performing a seek operation on the
  49  * trace. Seek operations can be performed for a particular event (by rank or
  50  * timestamp) or for a plain trace location.
  51  * <p>
  52  * <b>Example 1</b>: Process a whole trace
  53  * <pre>
  54  * ITmfContext context = trace.seekEvent(0);
  55  * ITmfEvent event = trace.getNext(context);
  56  * while (event != null) {
  57  *     processEvent(event);
  58  *     event = trace.getNext(context);
  59  * }
  60  * </pre>
  61  * <b>Example 2</b>: Process 50 events starting from the 1000th event
  62  * <pre>
  63  * int nbEventsRead = 0;
  64  * ITmfContext context = trace.seekEvent(1000);
  65  * ITmfEvent event = trace.getNext(context);
  66  * while (event != null && nbEventsRead < 50) {
  67  *     nbEventsRead++;
  68  *     processEvent(event);
  69  *     event = trace.getNext(context);
  70  * }
  71  * </pre>
  72  * <b>Example 3</b>: Process the events between 2 timestamps (inclusive)
  73  * <pre>
  74  * ITmfTimestamp startTime = ...;
  75  * ITmfTimestamp endTime = ...;
  76  * ITmfContext context = trace.seekEvent(startTime);
  77  * ITmfEvent event = trace.getNext(context);
  78  * while (event != null && event.getTimestamp().compareTo(endTime) <= 0) {
  79  *     processEvent(event);
  80  *     event = trace.getNext(context);
  81  * }
  82  * </pre>
  83  * A trace is also an event provider so it can process event requests
  84  * asynchronously (and coalesce compatible, concurrent requests).
  85  * <p>
  86  * </pre>
  87  * <b>Example 4</b>: Process a whole trace (see ITmfEventRequest for variants)
  88  * <pre>
  89  * ITmfRequest request = new TmfEventRequest&lt;MyEventType&gt;(MyEventType.class) {
  90  *     &#64;Override
  91  *     public void handleData(MyEventType event) {
  92  *         super.handleData(event);
  93  *         processEvent(event);
  94  *     }
  95  *     &#64;Override
  96  *     public void handleCompleted() {
  97  *         finish();
  98  *         super.handleCompleted();
  99  *     }
 100  * };
 101  *
 102  * fTrace.handleRequest(request);
 103  * if (youWant) {
 104  *     request.waitForCompletion();
 105  * }
