[JDK 1.8] Default Method

Default Method 란

• Interface 안에서 method 를 구현해놓아 상속받는 클래스에서 해당 method 를 따로 override 하지 않아도 된다.
• 해당 Interface 를 상속받는 여러 클래스에서는 동일하게 동작하는 method 지만 하나의 클래스에서만 다르게 동작해야 할 경우
  Interface 내에서 default method 로 구현 후 다르게 동작할 클래스에서 override 하여 구현하면 된다.

    /**
     * Removes all of the elements of this collection that satisfy the given
     * predicate.  Errors or runtime exceptions thrown during iteration or by
     * the predicate are relayed to the caller.
     *
     * @implSpec
     * The default implementation traverses all elements of the collection using
     * its {@link #iterator}.  Each matching element is removed using
     * {@link Iterator#remove()}.  If the collection's iterator does not
     * support removal then an {@code UnsupportedOperationException} will be
     * thrown on the first matching element.
     *
     * @param filter a predicate which returns {@code true} for elements to be
     *        removed
     * @return {@code true} if any elements were removed
     * @throws NullPointerException if the specified filter is null
     * @throws UnsupportedOperationException if elements cannot be removed
     *         from this collection.  Implementations may throw this exception if a
     *         matching element cannot be removed or if, in general, removal is not
     *         supported.

    /**
     * Creates a {@link Spliterator} over the elements in this collection.
     *
     * Implementations should document characteristic values reported by the
     * spliterator.  Such characteristic values are not required to be reported
     * if the spliterator reports {@link Spliterator#SIZED} and this collection
     * contains no elements.
     *
     * <p>The default implementation should be overridden by subclasses that
     * can return a more efficient spliterator.  In order to
     * preserve expected laziness behavior for the {@link #stream()} and
     * {@link #parallelStream()}} methods, spliterators should either have the
     * characteristic of {@code IMMUTABLE} or {@code CONCURRENT}, or be
     * <em><a href="Spliterator.html#binding">late-binding</a></em>.
     * If none of these is practical, the overriding class should describe the
     * spliterator's documented policy of binding and structural interference,
     * and should override the {@link #stream()} and {@link #parallelStream()}
     * methods to create streams using a {@code Supplier} of the spliterator,
     * as in:
     * <pre>{@code
     *     Stream<E> s = StreamSupport.stream(() -> spliterator(), spliteratorCharacteristics)
     * }</pre>
     * <p>These requirements ensure that streams produced by the
     * {@link #stream()} and {@link #parallelStream()} methods will reflect the
     * contents of the collection as of initiation of the terminal stream
     * operation.
     *
     * @implSpec
     * The default implementation creates a
     * <em><a href="Spliterator.html#binding">late-binding</a></em> spliterator
     * from the collections's {@code Iterator}.  The spliterator inherits the
     * <em>fail-fast</em> properties of the collection's iterator.
     * <p>
     * The created {@code Spliterator} reports {@link Spliterator#SIZED}.
     *
     * @implNote
     * The created {@code Spliterator} additionally reports
     * {@link Spliterator#SUBSIZED}.
     *
     * <p>If a spliterator covers no elements then the reporting of additional
     * characteristic values, beyond that of {@code SIZED} and {@code SUBSIZED},
     * does not aid clients to control, specialize or simplify computation.
     * However, this does enable shared use of an immutable and empty
     * spliterator instance (see {@link Spliterators#emptySpliterator()}) for
     * empty collections, and enables clients to determine if such a spliterator
     * covers no elements.
     *
