In a Groovy script, is the eachLine closure sufficient to keep a process from blocking due to a full buffer?
Of course it depends from the different complexities of the the two processes.
I guess that one is the one that produces output, while the other one consumes it with
eachLine. Then if the second one has enough CPU time to prevent the buffer from filling, you won’t have any block. Otherwise it will slowly/fastly fill until there is no room anymore.There is no general answer in your case since it depends from the processing done by
eachLineand the one made by the other process which produces data.
