31  * an input Record or set data into an output Record as a stream of
32  * bytes.

34  * <p>The Streamable interface provides a resource adapter's view

37  * <p>The Streamable interface is not directly used by a component. It
38  * is used by a resource adapter implementation. A component uses Record
39  * or any derived interfaces to manage records.
