Streamly.Data.Fold

Fast, composable stream consumers with ability to terminate, supporting stream fusion.

Using Folds

This module provides elementary folds and fold combinators that can be used to consume a stream of data and reduce it to a final value, or transform it in a stateful manner using scans. A data stream can be reduced into a stream of folded data elements by folding segments of the stream. Fold combinators can be used to compose multiple folds in parallel or to create a pipeline of folds such that the next fold consumes the result of the previous fold. To run these folds on a stream see Streamly.Data.Stream.fold, Streamly.Data.Stream.scan, Streamly.Data.Stream.postscan, Streamly.Data.Stream.scanMaybe, Streamly.Data.Stream.foldMany and other operations accepting Fold type as argument Streamly.Data.Stream.

Reducing a Stream

A Fold is a consumer of a stream of values. A fold driver (such as Streamly.Data.Stream.fold) initializes the fold accumulator, runs the fold step function in a loop, processing the input stream one element at a time and accumulating the result. The loop continues until the fold terminates, at which point the accumulated result is returned.

For example, a sum Fold represents a stream consumer that adds the values in the input stream:

Example1 expression
Stream.fold Fold.sum $ Stream.fromList [1..100]5050

Conceptually, a Fold is a data type that mimics a strict left fold (Data.List.foldl). The above example is similar to a left fold using (+) as the step and 0 as the initial value of the accumulator:

Example1 expression
Data.List.foldl' (+) 0 [1..100]5050

Folds have an early termination capability e.g. the one fold terminates after consuming one element:

Example1 expression
Stream.fold Fold.one $ Stream.fromList [1..]Just 1

The above example is similar to the following right fold:

Example1 expression
Prelude.foldr (\x _ -> Just x) Nothing [1..]Just 1

Folds can be combined together using combinators. For example, to create a fold that sums first two elements in a stream:

Example2 expressions
sumTwo = Fold.take 2 Fold.sumStream.fold sumTwo $ Stream.fromList [1..100]3

Parallel Composition

Folds can be combined to run in parallel on the same input. For example, to compute the average of numbers in a stream without going through the stream twice:

Example2 expressions
avg = Fold.teeWith (/) Fold.sum (fmap fromIntegral Fold.length)Stream.fold avg $ Stream.fromList [1.0..100.0]50.5

Folds can be combined so as to partition the input stream over multiple folds. For example, to count even and odd numbers in a stream:

Example6 expressions
split n = if even n then Left n else Right nstream = fmap split $ Stream.fromList [1..100]countEven = fmap (("Even " ++) . show) Fold.lengthcountOdd = fmap (("Odd "  ++) . show) Fold.lengthf = Fold.partition countEven countOddStream.fold f stream("Even 50","Odd 50")

Sequential Composition

Terminating folds can be combined to parse the stream serially such that the first fold consumes the input until it terminates and the second fold consumes the rest of the input until it terminates:

Example2 expressions
f = Fold.splitWith (,) (Fold.take 8 Fold.toList) (Fold.takeEndBy (== '\n') Fold.toList)Stream.fold f $ Stream.fromList "header: hello\n"("header: ","hello\n")

Splitting a Stream

A Fold can be applied repeatedly on a stream to transform it to a stream of fold results. To split a stream on newlines:

Example2 expressions
f = Fold.takeEndBy (== '\n') Fold.toListStream.fold Fold.toList $ Stream.foldMany f $ Stream.fromList "Hello there!\nHow are you\n"["Hello there!\n","How are you\n"]

Similarly, we can split the input of a fold too:

Example1 expression
Stream.fold (Fold.many f Fold.toList) $ Stream.fromList "Hello there!\nHow are you\n"["Hello there!\n","How are you\n"]

Folds vs. Streams

We can often use streams or folds to achieve the same goal. However, streams are more efficient in composition of producers (e.g. Data.Stream.append or Data.Stream.mergeBy) whereas folds are more efficient in composition of consumers (e.g. splitWith, partition or teeWith).

Streams are producers, transformations on streams happen on the output side:

Example1 expression
:{ f stream =       Stream.filter odd stream     & fmap (+1)     & Stream.fold Fold.sum:}
Example1 expression
f $ Stream.fromList [1..100 :: Int]2550

Folds are stream consumers with an input stream and an output value, stream transformations on folds happen on the input side:

Example1 expression
:{f =       Fold.filter odd     $ Fold.lmap (+1)     $ Fold.sum:}
Example1 expression
Stream.fold f $ Stream.fromList [1..100 :: Int]2550

Notice the similiarity in the definition of f in both cases, the only difference is the composition by & vs $ and the use lmap vs map, the difference is due to output vs input side transformations.

Fusion Limitations

Folds support stream fusion for generating loops comparable to the speed of C. However, it has some limitations. For fusion to work, the folds must be inlined, folds must be statically known and not generated dynamically, folds should not be passed recursively.

Another limitation is due to the quadratic complexity causing slowdown when too many nested compositions are used. Especially, the performance of the Applicative instance and splitting operations (e.g. splitWith) degrades quadratically (O(n^2)) when combined n times, roughly 8 or less sequenced operations are fine. For these cases folds can be converted to parsers and then used as ParserK.

Running A Fold

valuedrive :: Monad m => Stream m a -> Fold m a b -> m b
#

drive = flip Stream.fold

Example:

Example1 expression

Fold Type

2 declarations
datadata Fold (m :: Type -> Type) a b
#

The type Fold m a b represents a consumer of an input stream of values of type a and returning a final value of type b in Monad m. The constructor of a fold is Fold step initial extract final.

The fold uses an internal state of type s. The initial value of the state s is created by initial. This function is called once and only once before the fold starts consuming input. Any resource allocation can be done in this function.

The step function is called on each input, it consumes an input and returns the next intermediate state (see Step) or the final result b if the fold terminates.

If the fold is used as a scan, the extract function is used by the scan driver to map the current state s of the fold to the fold result. Thus extract can be called multiple times. In some folds, where scanning does not make sense, this function is left unimplemented; such folds cannot be used as scans.

Before a fold terminates, final is called once and only once (unless the fold terminated in initial itself). Any resources allocated by initial can be released in final. In folds that do not require any cleanup extract and final are typically the same.

When implementing fold combinators, care should be taken to cleanup any state of the argument folds held by the fold by calling the respective final at all exit points of the fold. Also, final should not be called more than once. Note that if a fold terminates by Done constructor, there is no state to cleanup.

NOTE: The constructor is not yet released, smart constructors are provided to create folds.

Instances2Functor, Applicative
  • Functor m => Functor (Fold m a)Defined in streamly-core-0.2.2 · Streamly.Internal.Data.Fold.Type

    Maps a function on the output of the fold (the type b).

  • Monad m => Applicative (Fold m a)Defined in streamly-core-0.2.2 · Streamly.Internal.Data.Fold.Type

    Applicative form of splitWith. Split the input serially over two folds. Note that this fuses but performance degrades quadratically with respect to the number of compositions. It should be good to use for less than 8 compositions.

newtypenewtype Tee (m :: Type -> Type) a b
#

Tee is a newtype wrapper over the Fold type providing distributing Applicative, Semigroup, Monoid, Num, Floating and Fractional instances.

The input received by the composed Tee is replicated and distributed to the constituent folds of the Tee.

For example, to compute the average of numbers in a stream without going through the stream twice:

Example2 expressions
avg = (/) <$> (Tee Fold.sum) <*> (Tee $ fmap fromIntegral Fold.length)Stream.fold (unTee avg) $ Stream.fromList [1.0..100.0]50.5

Similarly, the Semigroup and Monoid instances of Tee distribute the input to both the folds and combine the outputs using Monoid or Semigroup instances of the output types:

Example3 expressions
import Data.Monoid (Sum(..))t = Tee Fold.one <> Tee Fold.latestStream.fold (unTee t) (fmap Sum $ Stream.enumerateFromTo 1.0 100.0)Just (Sum {getSum = 101.0})

The Num, Floating, and Fractional instances work in the same way.

Constructors

5 declarations
valuefoldl' :: Monad m => (b -> a -> b) -> b -> Fold m a b
#

Make a fold from a left fold style pure step function and initial value of the accumulator.

If your Fold returns only Partial (i.e. never returns a Done) then you can use foldl'* constructors.

A fold with an extract function can be expressed using fmap:

mkfoldlx :: Monad m => (s -> a -> s) -> s -> (s -> b) -> Fold m a b
mkfoldlx step initial extract = fmap extract (foldl' step initial)
valuefoldlM' :: Monad m => (b -> a -> m b) -> m b -> Fold m a b
#

Make a fold from a left fold style monadic step function and initial value of the accumulator.

A fold with an extract function can be expressed using rmapM:

mkFoldlxM :: Functor m => (s -> a -> m s) -> m s -> (s -> m b) -> Fold m a b
mkFoldlxM step initial extract = rmapM extract (foldlM' step initial)
valuefoldl1' :: Monad m => (a -> a -> a) -> Fold m a (Maybe a)
#

Make a strict left fold, for non-empty streams, using first element as the starting value. Returns Nothing if the stream is empty.

Pre-release

valuefoldlM1' :: Monad m => (a -> a -> m a) -> Fold m a (Maybe a)
#

Pre-release

valuefoldr' :: Monad m => (a -> b -> b) -> b -> Fold m a b
#

Make a fold using a right fold style step function and a terminal value. It performs a strict right fold via a left fold using function composition. Note that a strict right fold can only be useful for constructing strict structures in memory. For reductions this will be very inefficient.

Incremental builders

3 declarations

Mutable arrays (Streamly.Data.MutArray) are basic builders. You can use the Streamly.Data.MutArray.snoc or Streamly.Data.MutArray.writeAppend operations to incrementally build mutable arrays. The addOne and addStream combinators can be used to incrementally build any type of structure using a fold, including arrays or a stream of arrays.

Use pinned arrays if you are going to use the data for IO.

valueaddOne :: Monad m => a -> Fold m a b -> m (Fold m a b)
#

Append a singleton value to the fold.

See examples under addStream.

Pre-release

valueaddStream :: Monad m => Stream m a -> Fold m a b -> m (Fold m a b)
#

Append a stream to a fold to build the fold accumulator incrementally. We can repeatedly call addStream on the same fold to continue building the fold and finally use drive to finish the fold and extract the result. Also see the Streamly.Data.Fold.addOne operation which is a singleton version of addStream.

Definitions:

Example1 expression
addStream stream = Fold.drive stream . Fold.duplicate

Example, build a list incrementally:

Example1 expression
:{pure (Fold.toList :: Fold IO Int [Int])    >>= Fold.addOne 1    >>= Fold.addStream (Stream.enumerateFromTo 2 4)    >>= Fold.drive Stream.nil    >>= print:}[1,2,3,4]

This can be used as an O(n) list append compared to the O(n^2) ++ when used for incrementally building a list.

Example, build a stream incrementally:

Example1 expression
:{pure (Fold.toStream :: Fold IO Int (Stream Identity Int))    >>= Fold.addOne 1    >>= Fold.addStream (Stream.enumerateFromTo 2 4)    >>= Fold.drive Stream.nil    >>= print:}fromList [1,2,3,4]

This can be used as an O(n) stream append compared to the O(n^2) <> when used for incrementally building a stream.

Example, build an array incrementally:

Example1 expression
:{pure (Array.write :: Fold IO Int (Array Int))    >>= Fold.addOne 1    >>= Fold.addStream (Stream.enumerateFromTo 2 4)    >>= Fold.drive Stream.nil    >>= print:}fromList [1,2,3,4]

Example, build an array stream incrementally:

Example1 expression
:{let f :: Fold IO Int (Stream Identity (Array Int))    f = Fold.groupsOf 2 (Array.writeN 3) Fold.toStreamin pure f    >>= Fold.addOne 1    >>= Fold.addStream (Stream.enumerateFromTo 2 4)    >>= Fold.drive Stream.nil    >>= print:}fromList [fromList [1,2],fromList [3,4]]
valueduplicate :: Monad m => Fold m a b -> Fold m a (Fold m a b)
#

duplicate provides the ability to run a fold in parts. The duplicated fold consumes the input and returns the same fold as output instead of returning the final result, the returned fold can be run later to consume more input.

duplicate essentially appends a stream to the fold without finishing the fold. Compare with snoc which appends a singleton value to the fold.

Combinators are modifiers of folds. In the type Fold m a b, a is the input type and b is the output type. Transformations can be applied either on the input side (contravariant) or on the output side (covariant). Therefore, combinators are of one of the following general shapes:

  • ... -> Fold m a b -> Fold m c b (input transformation)

  • ... -> Fold m a b -> Fold m a c (output transformation)

The input side transformations are more interesting for folds. Most of the following sections describe the input transformation operations on a fold. When an operation makes sense on both input and output side we use the prefix l (for left) for input side operations and the prefix r (for right) for output side operations.

Mapping on output

The Functor instance of a fold maps on the output of the fold:

Example1 expression
Stream.fold (fmap show Fold.sum) (Stream.enumerateFromTo 1 100)"5050"
valuermapM :: Monad m => (b -> m c) -> Fold m a b -> Fold m a c
#

Map a monadic function on the output of a fold.

Mapping on Input

valuelmap :: (a -> b) -> Fold m b r -> Fold m a r
#

lmap f fold maps the function f on the input of the fold.

Definition:

Example1 expression
lmap = Fold.lmapM return

Example:

Example2 expressions
sumSquared = Fold.lmap (\x -> x * x) Fold.sumStream.fold sumSquared (Stream.enumerateFromTo 1 100)338350
valuelmapM :: Monad m => (a -> m b) -> Fold m b r -> Fold m a r
#

lmapM f fold maps the monadic function f on the input of the fold.

Scanning and Filtering

valuescan :: Monad m => Fold m a b -> Fold m b c -> Fold m a c
#

Scan the input of a Fold to change it in a stateful manner using another Fold. The scan stops as soon as the fold terminates.

Pre-release

valuepostscan :: Monad m => Fold m a b -> Fold m b c -> Fold m a c
#

Postscan the input of a Fold to change it in a stateful manner using another Fold.

postscan scanner collector

Pre-release

valuescanMaybe :: Monad m => Fold m a (Maybe b) -> Fold m b c -> Fold m a c
#

Use a Maybe returning fold as a filtering scan.

Example1 expression
scanMaybe p f = Fold.postscan p (Fold.catMaybes f)

Pre-release

valuefilter :: Monad m => (a -> Bool) -> Fold m a r -> Fold m a r
#

Include only those elements that pass a predicate.

Example1 expression
Stream.fold (Fold.filter (> 5) Fold.sum) $ Stream.fromList [1..10]40
Example3 expressions
filter p = Fold.scanMaybe (Fold.filtering p)filter p = Fold.filterM (return . p)filter p = Fold.mapMaybe (\x -> if p x then Just x else Nothing)
valuefilterM :: Monad m => (a -> m Bool) -> Fold m a r -> Fold m a r
#

Like filter but with a monadic predicate.

Example2 expressions
f p x = p x >>= \r -> return $ if r then Just x else NothingfilterM p = Fold.mapMaybeM (f p)
valuemapMaybe :: Monad m => (a -> Maybe b) -> Fold m b r -> Fold m a r
#

mapMaybe f fold maps a Maybe returning function f on the input of the fold, filters out Nothing elements, and return the values extracted from Just.

Example2 expressions
mapMaybe f = Fold.lmap f . Fold.catMaybesmapMaybe f = Fold.mapMaybeM (return . f)
Example3 expressions
f x = if even x then Just x else Nothingfld = Fold.mapMaybe f Fold.toListStream.fold fld (Stream.enumerateFromTo 1 10)[2,4,6,8,10]
valuecatMaybes :: Monad m => Fold m a b -> Fold m (Maybe a) b
#

Modify a fold to receive a Maybe input, the Just values are unwrapped and sent to the original fold, Nothing values are discarded.

Example2 expressions
catMaybes = Fold.mapMaybe idcatMaybes = Fold.filter isJust . Fold.lmap fromJust
valuecatEithers :: Fold m a b -> Fold m (Either a a) b
#

Remove the either wrapper and flatten both lefts and as well as rights in the output stream.

Definition:

Example1 expression
catEithers = Fold.lmap (either id id)

Pre-release

Trimming

valuetake :: Monad m => Int -> Fold m a b -> Fold m a b
#

Take at most n input elements and fold them using the supplied fold. A negative count is treated as 0.

Example1 expression
Stream.fold (Fold.take 2 Fold.toList) $ Stream.fromList [1..10][1,2]
valuetakeEndBy :: Monad m => (a -> Bool) -> Fold m a b -> Fold m a b
#

Take the input, stop when the predicate succeeds taking the succeeding element as well.

Example:

Example3 expressions
input = Stream.fromList "hello\nthere\n"line = Fold.takeEndBy (== '\n') Fold.toListStream.fold line input"hello\n"
Example1 expression
Stream.fold Fold.toList $ Stream.foldMany line input["hello\n","there\n"]
valuetakeEndBy_ :: Monad m => (a -> Bool) -> Fold m a b -> Fold m a b
#

Like takeEndBy but drops the element on which the predicate succeeds.

Example:

Example3 expressions
input = Stream.fromList "hello\nthere\n"line = Fold.takeEndBy_ (== '\n') Fold.toListStream.fold line input"hello"
Example1 expression
Stream.fold Fold.toList $ Stream.foldMany line input["hello","there"]

Splitting

valuesplitWith
  1. :: Monad m
  2. => a -> b -> c
  3. -> Fold m x a
  4. -> Fold m x b
  5. -> Fold m x c
#

Sequential fold application. Apply two folds sequentially to an input stream. The input is provided to the first fold, when it is done - the remaining input is provided to the second fold. When the second fold is done or if the input stream is over, the outputs of the two folds are combined using the supplied function.

Example:

Example4 expressions
header = Fold.take 8 Fold.toListline = Fold.takeEndBy (== '\n') Fold.toListf = Fold.splitWith (,) header lineStream.fold f $ Stream.fromList "header: hello\n"("header: ","hello\n")

Note: This is dual to appending streams using Data.Stream.append.

Note: this implementation allows for stream fusion but has quadratic time complexity, because each composition adds a new branch that each subsequent fold's input element has to traverse, therefore, it cannot scale to a large number of compositions. After around 100 compositions the performance starts dipping rapidly compared to a CPS style implementation.

For larger number of compositions you can convert the fold to a parser and use ParserK.

Time: O(n^2) where n is the number of compositions.

valuemany :: Monad m => Fold m a b -> Fold m b c -> Fold m a c
#

Collect zero or more applications of a fold. many first second applies the first fold repeatedly on the input stream and accumulates it's results using the second fold.

Example3 expressions
two = Fold.take 2 Fold.toListtwos = Fold.many two Fold.toListStream.fold twos $ Stream.fromList [1..10][[1,2],[3,4],[5,6],[7,8],[9,10]]

Stops when second fold stops.

See also: Data.Stream.concatMap, Data.Stream.foldMany

valuegroupsOf :: Monad m => Int -> Fold m a b -> Fold m b c -> Fold m a c
#

groupsOf n split collect repeatedly applies the split fold to chunks of n items in the input stream and supplies the result to the collect fold.

Definition:

Example1 expression
groupsOf n split = Fold.many (Fold.take n split)

Example:

Example2 expressions
twos = Fold.groupsOf 2 Fold.toList Fold.toListStream.fold twos $ Stream.fromList [1..10][[1,2],[3,4],[5,6],[7,8],[9,10]]

Stops when collect stops.

Parallel Distribution

For applicative composition using distribution see Streamly.Internal.Data.Fold.Tee.

valueteeWith
  1. :: Monad m
  2. => a -> b -> c
  3. -> Fold m x a
  4. -> Fold m x b
  5. -> Fold m x c
#

teeWith k f1 f2 distributes its input to both f1 and f2 until both of them terminate and combines their output using k.

Definition:

Example1 expression
teeWith k f1 f2 = fmap (uncurry k) (Fold.tee f1 f2)

Example:

Example2 expressions
avg = Fold.teeWith (/) Fold.sum (fmap fromIntegral Fold.length)Stream.fold avg $ Stream.fromList [1.0..100.0]50.5

For applicative composition using this combinator see Streamly.Data.Fold.Tee.

See also: Streamly.Data.Fold.Tee

Note that nested applications of teeWith do not fuse.

valuetee :: Monad m => Fold m a b -> Fold m a c -> Fold m a (b, c)
#

Distribute one copy of the stream to each fold and zip the results.

                |-------Fold m a b--------|
---stream m a---|                         |---m (b,c)
                |-------Fold m a c--------|

Definition:

Example1 expression
tee = Fold.teeWith (,)

Example:

Example2 expressions
t = Fold.tee Fold.sum Fold.lengthStream.fold t (Stream.enumerateFromTo 1.0 100.0)(5050.0,100)
valuedistribute :: Monad m => [Fold m a b] -> Fold m a [b]
#

Distribute one copy of the stream to each fold and collect the results in a container.


                |-------Fold m a b--------|
---stream m a---|                         |---m [b]
                |-------Fold m a b--------|
                |                         |
                           ...
Example1 expression
Stream.fold (Fold.distribute [Fold.sum, Fold.length]) (Stream.enumerateFromTo 1 5)[15,5]
Example1 expression
distribute = Prelude.foldr (Fold.teeWith (:)) (Fold.fromPure [])

This is the consumer side dual of the producer side sequence operation.

Stops when all the folds stop.

Partitioning

Direct items in the input stream to different folds using a binary fold selector.

valuepartition
  1. :: Monad m
  2. => Fold m b x
  3. -> Fold m c y
  4. -> Fold m (Either b c) (x, y)
#

Compose two folds such that the combined fold accepts a stream of Either and routes the Left values to the first fold and Right values to the second fold.

Definition:

Example1 expression
partition = Fold.partitionBy id

Key-value Collectors

valuetoMap :: (Monad m, Ord k) => (a -> k) -> Fold m a b -> Fold m a (Map k b)
#

Split the input stream based on a key field and fold each split using the given fold. Useful for map/reduce, bucketizing the input in different bins or for generating histograms.

Example:

Example2 expressions
import Data.Map.Strict (Map):{ let input = Stream.fromList [("ONE",1),("ONE",1.1),("TWO",2), ("TWO",2.2)]     classify = Fold.toMap fst (Fold.lmap snd Fold.toList)  in Stream.fold classify input :: IO (Map String [Double]):}fromList [("ONE",[1.0,1.1]),("TWO",[2.0,2.2])]

Once the classifier fold terminates for a particular key any further inputs in that bucket are ignored.

Space used is proportional to the number of keys seen till now and monotonically increases because it stores whether a key has been seen or not.

See demuxToMap for a more powerful version where you can use a different fold for each key. A simpler version of toMap retaining only the last value for a key can be written as:

Example1 expression
toMap = Fold.foldl' (\kv (k, v) -> Map.insert k v kv) Map.empty

Stops: never

Pre-release

valuetoMapIO
  1. :: (MonadIO m, Ord k)
  2. => a -> k
  3. -> Fold m a b
  4. -> Fold m a (Map k b)
#

Same as toMap but maybe faster because it uses mutable cells as fold accumulators in the Map.

Key-value Scanners

valueclassify
  1. :: (Monad m, Ord k)
  2. => a -> k
  3. -> Fold m a b
  4. -> Fold m a (m (Map k b), Maybe (k, b))
#

Folds the values for each key using the supplied fold. When scanning, as soon as the fold is complete, its result is available in the second component of the tuple. The first component of the tuple is a snapshot of the in-progress folds.

Once the fold for a key is done, any future values of the key are ignored.

Definition:

Example1 expression
classify f fld = Fold.demux f (const fld)
valueclassifyIO
  1. :: (MonadIO m, Ord k)
  2. => a -> k
  3. -> Fold m a b
  4. -> Fold m a (m (Map k b), Maybe (k, b))
#

Same as classify except that it uses mutable IORef cells in the Map providing better performance. Be aware that if this is used as a scan, the values in the intermediate Maps would be mutable.

Definitions:

Example1 expression
classifyIO f fld = Fold.demuxIO f (const fld)
valuedemux
  1. :: (Monad m, Ord k)
  2. => a -> k
  3. -> a -> m (Fold m a b)
  4. -> Fold m a (m (Map k b), Maybe (k, b))
#

demux getKey getFold: In a key value stream, fold values corresponding to each key using a key specific fold. getFold is invoked to generate a key specific fold when a key is encountered for the first time in the stream.

The first component of the output tuple is a key-value Map of in-progress folds. The fold returns the fold result as the second component of the output tuple whenever a fold terminates.

If a fold terminates, another instance of the fold is started upon receiving an input with that key, getFold is invoked again whenever the key is encountered again.

This can be used to scan a stream and collect the results from the scan output.

Since the fold generator function is monadic we can add folds dynamically. For example, we can maintain a Map of keys to folds in an IORef and lookup the fold from that corresponding to a key. This Map can be changed dynamically, folds for new keys can be added or folds for old keys can be deleted or modified.

Compare with classify, the fold in classify is a static fold.

Pre-release

valuedemuxIO
  1. :: (MonadIO m, Ord k)
  2. => a -> k
  3. -> a -> m (Fold m a b)
  4. -> Fold m a (m (Map k b), Maybe (k, b))
#

This is specialized version of demux that uses mutable IO cells as fold accumulators for better performance.

Keep in mind that the values in the returned Map may be changed by the ongoing fold if you are using those concurrently in another thread.

Unzipping

valueunzip :: Monad m => Fold m a x -> Fold m b y -> Fold m (a, b) (x, y)
#

Send the elements of tuples in a stream of tuples through two different folds.


                          |-------Fold m a x--------|
---------stream of (a,b)--|                         |----m (x,y)
                          |-------Fold m b y--------|

Definition:

Example1 expression
unzip = Fold.unzipWith id

This is the consumer side dual of the producer side zip operation.

Nesting

valueconcatMap :: Monad m => (b -> Fold m a c) -> Fold m a b -> Fold m a c
#

Map a Fold returning function on the result of a Fold and run the returned fold. This operation can be used to express data dependencies between fold operations.

Let's say the first element in the stream is a count of the following elements that we have to add, then:

Example4 expressions
import Data.Maybe (fromJust)count = fmap fromJust Fold.onetotal n = Fold.take n Fold.sumStream.fold (Fold.concatMap total count) $ Stream.fromList [10,9..1]45

This does not fuse completely, see refold for a fusible alternative.

Time: O(n^2) where n is the number of compositions.
