public interface StreamingFileUpload extends FileUpload, Publisher<PartData>

Represents a part of a MediaType.MULTIPART_FORM_DATA request.

The StreamingFileUpload may be incomplete when first received, in which case the consumer can subscribe to the file upload to process the data a chunk at a time.

The transferTo(String) method can be used whether the upload is complete or not. If it is not complete the framework will automatically subscribe to the upload and transfer the data chunk by chunk in a non-blocking manner

All I/O operation return a Publisher that runs on the the configured I/O ExecutorService
