• void schedule(long interval): it's not possible to implement it without providing a handle on the processor to the context. This is a little tricky, since the mocked ProcessorContext may be used to test not just a Processor, but also a Transformer or a ValueTransformer. Since this method is deprecated in the interface, we feel it's reasonable to update client code to use Punctuators instead. This method will throw an UnsupportedOperationException.

Also note that we won't automatically trigger sheduled punctuators. Instead, we'll just capture them so test code can retrieve and trigger them if desired. This keeps the mock truly a "mock" and not a "driver", which maintains the simplicity of the code and enables users to write linear and sensible tests. If folks want to have their punctuators triggered automatically, they can use the TopologyTestDriver, which does that. This is a potential sharp edge, so I'm planning to make sure it's well documented in both the javadoc and html docs.

This method will throw an UnsupportedOperationException. 

Example Usage

This mocked ProcessorContext would enable unit tests like the following:
