Typically, Odysseus provides a buffer placement strategy to place buffers in the query plan. This operator allows adding buffers by hand. Buffers receives data stream elements and stores them in an internal elementbuffer. The scheduler stops the execution here for now. Later, the scheduler resumes to execution (e.g. with an another thread).
Type: The type of the buffer. The following types are currently part of Odysseus:Normal: This is the standard type and will be used if the type parameter is absentMaxBufferSize: If this value is set, a buffer will block if it reaches its maximal capacity. No values will be thrown away; this is not a load shedding operator!
