Interface Filter
public interface Filter
In an ideal world, we could transform any stream of data to another stream
using a transformation function like Functioninvalid input: '<'InputStream, InputStream>
However, in practice, we sometimes need to write intermediate files:
- A filter may not natively support streaming input and needs to save it as a file first
- A filter may not natively support streaming output and needs to serve it from a file
- It may be more efficient to pass data to filters as files - without the jvm in between
So a filter becomes more of a Functioninvalid input: '<'FileOrStream, FileOrStream>
And finally, we want to control file creation if it has to happen
