ExtractionPlugin (api 0.8.3-SNAPSHOT API)

All Superinterfaces:

BaseExtractionPlugin

All Known Implementing Classes:

MetaExtractionPlugin
```
public interface ExtractionPlugin
extends BaseExtractionPlugin
```
Extraction plugins can be used by Hansken to process traces during the extraction process. A processed trace can be enriched with new information and new child traces can also be created.
When a plugin matches on the trace which is currently processed by Hansken (for example, because it has certain properties or a certain type of data sequence), the plugin will receive the matched trace and data in order to process it (see process(Trace, DataContext)).

```
void process(Trace trace,
             DataContext dataContext)
      throws IOException
```
    Start processing a trace with a given data context. When processing a given trace, new properties may be set on it. New children can be added using Trace.newChild(String, ThrowingConsumer).
    A trace can have multiple data sequences of different types. Because of this, a certain trace might be processed multiple times (depending on if this plugin triggers on the different data types).
    Note: the given trace should only be modified within the scope of this method. Any modifications afterwards may be guarded against or result in undefined behavior.
    
    Parameters:
    
    trace - the trace to process
    
    dataContext - data context of the traces data stream that is being processed
    
    Throws:
    
    IOException - when an I/O error occurs
