- Method Detail
  - getErrorCount
```
int getErrorCount()
```
    Returns the number of errors that have been encountered while receiving data. If this number is not 0 the receiver can not guarantee that all data has been received correctly.
    
    Returns:
    
    the number of errors encountered during the receiving of data
  - closeWhenFinished
```
void closeWhenFinished()
```
    This method waits for the DataReceiver to finish its work and closes the incoming queue as well as the internal thread pool after that. For making sure that all data is received this method should be preferred compared to the Closeable.close() method which might close the receiver in a rude way.
  - increaseErrorCount
```
void increaseErrorCount()
```
  - getDataHandler
```
DataHandler getDataHandler()
```
  - getQueue
```
RabbitQueue getQueue()
