/**
 * Abstract base class for "pipeline" classes, which are the core
 * implementations of the Stream interface and its primitive specializations.
 * Manages construction and evaluation of stream pipelines.
 *
 * <p>An {@code AbstractPipeline} represents an initial portion of a stream
 * pipeline, encapsulating a stream source and zero or more intermediate
 * operations.  The individual {@code AbstractPipeline} objects are often
 * referred to as <em>stages</em>, where each stage describes either the stream
 * source or an intermediate operation.
 *
 * <p>A concrete intermediate stage is generally built from an
 * {@code AbstractPipeline}, a shape-specific pipeline class which extends it
 * (e.g., {@code IntPipeline}) which is also abstract, and an operation-specific
 * concrete class which extends that.  {@code AbstractPipeline} contains most of
 * the mechanics of evaluating the pipeline, and implements methods that will be
 * used by the operation; the shape-specific classes add helper methods for
 * dealing with collection of results into the appropriate shape-specific
 * containers.
 *
 * <p>After chaining a new intermediate operation, or executing a terminal
 * operation, the stream is considered to be consumed, and no more intermediate
 * or terminal operations are permitted on this stream instance.
 *
 * @implNote
 * <p>For sequential streams, and parallel streams without
 * <a href="package-summary.html#StreamOps">stateful intermediate
 * operations</a>, parallel streams, pipeline evaluation is done in a single
 * pass that "jams" all the operations together.  For parallel streams with
 * stateful operations, execution is divided into segments, where each
 * stateful operations marks the end of a segment, and each segment is
 * evaluated separately and the result used as the input to the next
 * segment.  In all cases, the source data is not consumed until a terminal
 * operation begins.
 *
 * @param   type of input elements
 * @param  type of output elements
 * @param <S> type of the subclass implementing {@code BaseStream}
 * @since 1.8
 * @hide Visibility for CTS only (OpenJDK 8 streams tests).
