[RFC] Generators

[Baachi]

If i want to import a large dataset, i use generators mostly. Because they are more memory friendly.
Maybe we could use generators to process the workflow.

But this would means, it would be hard BC break.

Here is a blog post from K-Phoen about generators and import some stuff

I’m all for using generators: it’s one of the principles of the PortPHP library to keep memory use to a minimum.

@Baachi Where should we start implementing them?

[Baachi]

Sorry for the late response.

I think we should start by the readers. Because this is the part where the most memory will be consumed.
