Interface CloseableIterator

public interface CloseableIterator
extends java.util.Iterator

An iterator over a collection. Iterator takes the place of Enumeration in the Java collections framework. Iterators differ from enumerations in two ways:

• Iterators allow the caller to remove elements from the underlying collection during the iteration with well-defined semantics.
• Method names have been improved.

void	close() Closes the Iterator.
