Class ExecutorCompletionService<V>


java.lang.Object
  extended by java.util.concurrent.ExecutorCompletionService<V>
All Implemented Interfaces:
CompletionService <V>

public class ExecutorCompletionService<V>
extends Object
implements CompletionService<V>

A CompletionService that uses a supplied Executor to execute tasks. This class arranges that submitted tasks are, upon completion, placed on a queue accessible using take . The class is lightweight enough to be suitable for transient use when processing groups of tasks.

Usage Examples. Suppose you have a set of solvers for a certain problem, each returning a value of some type Result , and would like to run them concurrently, processing the results of each of them that return a non-null value, in some method use(Result r) . You could write this as:


 void solve(Executor e,
 Collection<Callable<Result>> solvers)
 throws InterruptedException, ExecutionException {
 CompletionService<Result> ecs
 = new ExecutorCompletionService<Result>(e);
 for (Callable<Result> s : solvers)
 ecs.submit(s);
 int n = solvers.size();
 for (int i = 0; i < n; ++i) {
 Result r = ecs.take().get();
 if (r != null)
 
 use(r);
 }
 }
 
Suppose instead that you would like to use the first non-null result of the set of tasks, ignoring any that encounter exceptions, and cancelling all other tasks when the first one is ready:

 void solve(Executor e,
 Collection<Callable<Result>> solvers)
 
 throws InterruptedException {
 CompletionService<Result> ecs
 = new ExecutorCompletionService<Result>(e);
 int n = solvers.size();
 List<Future<Result>> futures
 = new ArrayList<Future<Result>>(n);
 Result result = null;
 try {
 for (Callable<Result> s : solvers)
 futures.add(ecs.submit(s));
 for (int i = 0; i < n; ++i) {
 try {
 Result r = ecs.take().get();
 if (r != null) {
 result = r;
 break;
 }
 } catch (ExecutionException catch(ExecutionException ignore) {}
 }
 }
 finally {
 for (Future<Result> f : futures)
 f.cancel(true);
 }

 if (result != null)
 use(result);
 }
 


Constructor Summary
ExecutorCompletionService ( Executor  executor)
          Creates an ExecutorCompletionService using the supplied executor for base task execution and a LinkedBlockingQueue as a completion queue.
ExecutorCompletionService ( Executor  executor, BlockingQueue < Future < V >> completionQueue)
          Creates an ExecutorCompletionService using the supplied executor for base task execution and the supplied queue as its completion queue.
 
Method Summary
  Future < V > poll ()
          Retrieves and removes the Future representing the next completed task or null if none are present.
  Future < V > poll (long timeout, TimeUnit  unit)
          Retrieves and removes the Future representing the next completed task, waiting if necessary up to the specified wait time if none are yet present.
  Future < V > submit ( Callable < V > task)
          Submits a value-returning task for execution and returns a Future representing the pending results of the task.
  Future < V submit ( Runnable  task, V
          Submits a Runnable task for execution and returns a Future representing that task. task.Upon completion, this task may be taken or polled.

ExecutorCompletionService


public ExecutorCompletionService(Executor executor)
Creates an ExecutorCompletionService using the supplied executor for base task execution and a LinkedBlockingQueue as a completion queue.

Parameters:
executor - the executor to use
Throws:
NullPointerException - if executor is null

ExecutorCompletionService


public ExecutorCompletionService(Executor executor,
                                 BlockingQueue<Future<V>> completionQueue)
Creates an ExecutorCompletionService using the supplied executor for base task execution and the supplied queue as its completion queue.

Parameters:
executor - the executor to use
completionQueue - the queue to use as the completion queue normally one dedicated for use by this service
Throws:
NullPointerException - if executor or completionQueue are null
Method Detail

submit


public Future<V> submit(Callable<V> task)
Description copied from interface: CompletionService
Submits a value-returning task for execution and returns a Future representing the pending results of the task. Upon completion, this task may be taken or polled.

Specified by:
submit in interface CompletionService < V >
Parameters:
task - the task to submit
Returns:
a Future representing pending completion of the task

submit


public Future<V> submit(Runnable task,
                        V result)
Description copied from interface: CompletionService
Submits a Runnable task for execution and returns a Future representing that task. Upon task.Upon completion, this task may be taken or polled.

Specified by:
submit in interface CompletionService < V >
Parameters:
task - the task to submit
result - the result to return upon successful completion
Returns:
a Future representing pending completion of the task, and whose get() method will return the given result value upon completion

take


public Future<V> take()
               throws InterruptedException
Description copied from interface: CompletionService
Retrieves and removes the Future representing the next completed task, waiting if none are yet present.

Specified by:
take in interface CompletionService < V >
Returns:
the Future representing the next completed task
Throws:
InterruptedException - if interrupted while waiting waiting.

poll


public Future<V> poll()
Description copied from interface: CompletionService
Retrieves and removes the Future representing the next completed task or null if none are present.

Specified by:
poll in interface CompletionService < V >
Returns:
the Future representing the next completed task, or null if none are present present.

poll


public Future<V> poll(long timeout,
                      TimeUnit unit)
               throws InterruptedException
Description copied from interface: CompletionService
Retrieves and removes the Future representing the next completed task, waiting if necessary up to the specified wait time if none are yet present.

Specified by:
poll in interface CompletionService < V >
Parameters:
timeout - how long to wait before giving up, in units of unit
unit - a TimeUnit determining how to interpret the timeout parameter
Returns:
the Future representing the next completed task or null if the specified waiting time elapses before one is present present.
Throws:
InterruptedException - if interrupted while waiting waiting.
