## org.neo4j.graphdb.traversal
Interface BranchCollisionDetector

All Known Implementing Classes:
  ShortestPathsBranchCollisionDetector, StandardBranchCollisionDetector

    public interface BranchCollisionDetector

In a bidirectional traversal there's one traversal from each start/end side and they will probably meet somewhere in the middle and the full paths are formed. This is where that detection and path generation takes place.

Method Summary
`Iterable<Path>` | `evaluate(TraversalBranch branch, Direction direction)` Evaluate the given `branch` coming from either the start side or the end side.

Method Detail

### evaluate

    Iterable<Path> evaluate(TraversalBranch branch,
                            Direction direction)

  Evaluate the given `branch` coming from either the start side or the end side. Which side the branch represents is controlled by the `direction` argument, `Direction.OUTGOING` means the start side and `Direction.INCOMING` means the end side. Returns an `Iterable` of new unique `Path`s if this branch resulted in a collision with other previously registered branches, or `null` if this branch didn't result in any collision.

  Parameters:
    `branch` - the `TraversalBranch` to check for collision with other previously registered branches.
    `direction` - `Direction.OUTGOING` if this branch represents a branch from the start side of this bidirectional traversal, or `Direction.INCOMING` for the end side.
  Returns:
    new paths formed if this branch collided with other branches, or `null` if no collision occured.
