Interface BatchOracle

All Superinterfaces:

Oracle, Serializable

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractBatchOracle, LengthSortBatchOracle, MultithreadBatchOracle, PrefixFirstBatchOracle, SequentialBatchOracle

public interface BatchOracle
extends Oracle

This interface encapsulates access to the SUT (System Under Test). System adapter or e.g. query filters should implement this interface. It extends the plain oracle to also handle batches of queries in order to address concerns like prefix-optimizations, parallelization etc. outside the core algorithms Learning algorthims capable of working in batch mode will automatically detect a batch oracle and produce queries in batches and not sequentially. It is REQUIRED that implementations are thread-safe!
