public interface CompletionService<V>
submit
tasks for execution. Consumers take
completed tasks and process their results in the order they
complete. A CompletionService
can for example be used to
manage asynchronous I/O, in which tasks that perform reads are
submitted in one part of a program or system, and then acted upon
in a different part of the program when the reads complete,
possibly in a different order than they were requested.
Typically, a CompletionService
relies on a separate
Executor
to actually execute the tasks, in which case the
CompletionService
only manages an internal completion
queue. The ExecutorCompletionService
class provides an
implementation of this approach.
Memory consistency effects: Actions in a thread prior to
submitting a task to a CompletionService
happen-before
actions taken by that task, which in turn happen-before
actions following a successful return from the corresponding take()
.
Modifier and Type | Method | Description |
---|---|---|
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 result) |
Submits a Runnable task for execution and returns a Future
representing that task.
|
Future<V> |
take () |
Retrieves and removes the Future representing the next
completed task, waiting if none are yet present.
