-/**
- * Java API: The Flow DSL allows the formulation of stream transformations based on some

- * which is evaluated repeatedly or a [[org.reactivestreams.Publisher]].
- *
- * See <a href="https://github.com/reactive-streams/reactive-streams/">Reactive Streams</a> for details.
- *
- * Each DSL element produces a new Flow that can be further transformed, building
- * up a description of the complete transformation pipeline. In order to execute
- * this pipeline the Flow must be materialized by calling the [[#toFuture]], [[#consume]],
- * [[#onComplete]], or [[#toPublisher]] methods on it.
- *
- * It should be noted that the streams modeled by this library are “hot”,
- * meaning that they asynchronously flow through a series of processors without
- * detailed control by the user. In particular it is not predictable how many
- * elements a given transformation step might buffer before handing elements
- * downstream, which means that transformation functions may be invoked more
- * often than for corresponding transformations on strict collections like
- * `List`. *An important consequence* is that elements that were produced
- * into a stream may be discarded by later processors, e.g. when using the
- * [[#take]] combinator.
- *
- * By default every operation is executed within its own [[akka.actor.Actor]]
- * to enable full pipelining of the chained set of computations. This behavior
- * is determined by the [[akka.stream.FlowMaterializer]] which is required
- * by those methods that materialize the Flow into a series of
- * [[org.reactivestreams.Processor]] instances. The returned reactive stream
