## Interface CpeCasProcessors

- All Superinterfaces:
    Cloneable, MetaDataObject, Serializable, XMLizable

      public interface CpeCasProcessors
      extends MetaDataObject

  An object that holds configuration that is part of the CPE descriptor. It provides the means of configuring the CPE Processing Pipeline and to tweak performance charactristics of the CPE. It contains a list of CasProcessors that will be strung together into a pipeline by the CPE.

    - #### setOutputQueueSize

          void setOutputQueueSize(int aOutputQueueSize)
                           throws CpeDescriptorException

      Sets the size of the OutputQueue. This queue is shared among Processing Units and CasConsumers and contains bundles of CAS. Processing Units add bundles to the queue while CasConsumers consume them. The best size for this queue is determined by overall performance of the ProcessingUnit ( how fast it deposits bundles onto the queue) and memory availability. The larger the queue the more bundles (hence memory) is used.
      Parameters:
        `aOutputQueueSize` - - Output queue size
      Throws:
        `CpeDescriptorException` - tbd

    - #### getOutputQueueSize

          int getOutputQueueSize()

      Returns the size of the OutputQueue. This queue is shared among Processing Units and CasConsumers and contains bundles of CAS. Processing Units add bundles to the queue while CasConsumers consume them. The best size for this queue is determined by overall performance of the ProcessingUnit ( how fast it deposits bundles onto the queue) and memory availability. The larger the queue the more bundles (hence memory) is used.
      Returns:
        - output queue size

    - #### setInputQueueSize

          void setInputQueueSize(int aOutputQueueSize)
                          throws CpeDescriptorException

      Sets the size of the InputQueue. This queue is shared among CollectionReader and Processing Units and contains bundles of CAS. CollectionReader adds bundles to the queue while Processing Unit consume them. The best size for this queue is determined by overall performance of the ProcessingUnit ( how fast it takes bundles off the queue) and memory availability. The larger the queue the more bundles (hence memory) is used.
      Parameters:
        `aOutputQueueSize` - - queue size
      Throws:
        `CpeDescriptorException` - tbd

    - #### getInputQueueSize

          int getInputQueueSize()

      Returns size of the InputQueue. This queue is shared among CollectionReader and Processing Units and contains bundles of CAS. CollectionReader adds bundles to the queue while Processing Unit consume them. The best size for this queue is determined by overall performance of the ProcessingUnit ( how fast it takes bundles off the queue) and memory availability. The larger the queue the more bundles (hence memory) is used.
      Returns:
        - queue size

    - #### setConcurrentPUCount

          void setConcurrentPUCount(int aConcurrentPUCount)
                             throws CpeDescriptorException

      Sets ProcessingUnit replication. Each ProcessingUnit contains the same sequence of CasProcessors and runs in a seperate thread. On platforms containing more than one CPU, replicating ProcessingUnit may result in better performance.
      Parameters:
        `aConcurrentPUCount` - - number of ProcessingUnits(processing threads)
      Throws:
        `CpeDescriptorException` - tbd

    - #### getConcurrentPUCount

          int getConcurrentPUCount()

      Returns number of ProcessingUnits. Each ProcessingUnit contains the same sequence of CasProcessors and runs in a seperate thread. On platforms containing more than one CPU, replicating ProcessingUnit may result in better performance.
      Returns:
        - number of ProcessingUnits(processing threads)

    - #### addCpeCasProcessor

          void addCpeCasProcessor(CpeCasProcessor aCasProcessor,

                           throws CpeDescriptorException

      Inserts a new CasProcessor at an indicated position.
      Parameters:
