  - ### Constructor Detail

    - #### RowRunner

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### collect

          public <A> A collect(RowCollector<A> collector,
                               StarTable table)
                        throws java.io.IOException

      Performs a collection operation on table rows.
      Parameters:
        `collector` - collector defining operation
        `table` - table supplying data
      Returns:
        result of collection
      Throws:
        `java.io.IOException`

    - #### createRowSplittable

          public RowSplittable createRowSplittable(StarTable table)
                                            throws java.io.IOException

      Acquires a splittable row sequence from a table. The default implementation just calls `StarTable.getRowSplittable()`, but this may be overridden if required.
      Parameters:
        `table` - input table
      Returns:
        potentially splittable row sequence
      Throws:
        `java.io.IOException`
