//! Types for controlling batching behavior during parallel processing.

use core::ops::Range;

/// Dictates how a parallel operation chunks up large quantities
/// during iteration.
///
/// A parallel query will chunk up large tables and archetypes into
/// chunks of at most a certain batch size. Similarly, a parallel event
/// reader will chunk up the remaining events.
///
/// By default, this batch size is automatically determined by dividing
/// the size of the largest matched archetype by the number
/// of threads (rounded up). This attempts to minimize the overhead of scheduling
/// tasks onto multiple threads, but assumes each entity has roughly the
/// same amount of work to be done, which may not hold true in every
/// workload.
///
/// See [`Query::par_iter`], [`EventReader::par_read`] for more information.
