Batched

Batched: the free semigroup.

For any type T, Batched[T] represents a way to lazily combine T values as a semigroup would (i.e. associatively). A Semigroup[T] instance can be used to recover a T value from a Batched[T].

Like other free structures, Batched trades space for time. A sum of batched values defers the underlying semigroup action, instead storing all values in memory (in a tree structure). If an underlying semigroup is available, Batched.semigroup and Batch.monoid can be configured to periodically sum the tree to keep the overall size below batchSize.

Batched[T] values are guaranteed not to be empty – that is, they will contain at least one T value.
