Interface ExecutorService

All Superinterfaces:

Executor

All Known Subinterfaces:

ScheduledExecutorService

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractExecutorService, ForkJoinPool, ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor, ThreadPoolExecutor

public interface ExecutorService
extends Executor

An Executor that provides methods to manage termination and methods that can produce a Future for tracking progress of one or more asynchronous tasks.

An ExecutorService can be shut down, which will cause it to reject new tasks. Two different methods are provided for shutting down an ExecutorService. The shutdown() method will allow previously submitted tasks to execute before terminating, while the shutdownNow() method prevents waiting tasks from starting and attempts to stop currently executing tasks. Upon termination, an executor has no tasks actively executing, no tasks awaiting execution, and no new tasks can be submitted. An unused ExecutorService should be shut down to allow reclamation of its resources.

Method submit extends base method Executor.execute(java.lang.Runnable) by creating and returning a Future that can be used to cancel execution and/or wait for completion. Methods invokeAny and invokeAll perform the most commonly useful forms of bulk execution, executing a collection of tasks and then waiting for at least one, or all, to complete. (Class ExecutorCompletionService can be used to write customized variants of these methods.)

The Executors class provides factory methods for the executor services provided in this package.

Usage Examples

Here is a sketch of a network service in which threads in a thread pool service incoming requests. It uses the preconfigured Executors.newFixedThreadPool(int) factory method:

 class NetworkService implements Runnable {
   private final ServerSocket serverSocket;
   private final ExecutorService pool;

   public NetworkService(int port, int poolSize)
       throws IOException {
     serverSocket = new ServerSocket(port);
     pool = Executors.newFixedThreadPool(poolSize);
   }

   public void run() { // run the service
     try {
       for (;;) {
         pool.execute(new Handler(serverSocket.accept()));
       }
     } catch (IOException ex) {
       pool.shutdown();
     }
   }
 }

 class Handler implements Runnable {
   private final Socket socket;
   Handler(Socket socket) { this.socket = socket; }
   public void run() {
     // read and service request on socket
   }
 }
 

The following method shuts down an ExecutorService in two phases, first by calling shutdown to reject incoming tasks, and then calling shutdownNow, if necessary, to cancel any lingering tasks:

 void shutdownAndAwaitTermination(ExecutorService pool) {
   pool.shutdown(); // Disable new tasks from being submitted
   try {
     // Wait a while for existing tasks to terminate
     if (!pool.awaitTermination(60, TimeUnit.SECONDS)) {
       pool.shutdownNow(); // Cancel currently executing tasks
       // Wait a while for tasks to respond to being cancelled
       if (!pool.awaitTermination(60, TimeUnit.SECONDS))
           System.err.println("Pool did not terminate");
     }
   } catch (InterruptedException ie) {
     // (Re-)Cancel if current thread also interrupted
     pool.shutdownNow();
     // Preserve interrupt status
     Thread.currentThread().interrupt();
   }
 }
 

Memory consistency effects: Actions in a thread prior to the submission of a Runnable or Callable task to an ExecutorService happen-before any actions taken by that task, which in turn happen-before the result is retrieved via Future.get().

execute

Method Detail

shutdown

void shutdown()

Initiates an orderly shutdown in which previously submitted tasks are executed, but no new tasks will be accepted. Invocation has no additional effect if already shut down.

This method does not wait for previously submitted tasks to complete execution. Use awaitTermination to do that.

Throws:

SecurityException - if a security manager exists and shutting down this ExecutorService may manipulate threads that the caller is not permitted to modify because it does not hold RuntimePermission("modifyThread"), or the security manager's checkAccess method denies access.

shutdownNow

List<Runnable> shutdownNow()

Attempts to stop all actively executing tasks, halts the processing of waiting tasks, and returns a list of the tasks that were awaiting execution.

This method does not wait for actively executing tasks to terminate. Use awaitTermination to do that.

There are no guarantees beyond best-effort attempts to stop processing actively executing tasks. For example, typical implementations will cancel via Thread.interrupt(), so any task that fails to respond to interrupts may never terminate.

Returns:

list of tasks that never commenced execution

Throws:

SecurityException - if a security manager exists and shutting down this ExecutorService may manipulate threads that the caller is not permitted to modify because it does not hold RuntimePermission("modifyThread"), or the security manager's checkAccess method denies access.

isShutdown

boolean isShutdown()

Returns true if this executor has been shut down.

Returns:

true if this executor has been shut down

isTerminated

boolean isTerminated()

Returns true if all tasks have completed following shut down. Note that isTerminated is never true unless either shutdown or shutdownNow was called first.

Returns:

true if all tasks have completed following shut down

awaitTermination

boolean awaitTermination(long timeout,
                         TimeUnit unit)
                         throws InterruptedException

Blocks until all tasks have completed execution after a shutdown request, or the timeout occurs, or the current thread is interrupted, whichever happens first.

Parameters:

timeout - the maximum time to wait

unit - the time unit of the timeout argument

Returns:

true if this executor terminated and false if the timeout elapsed before termination

Throws:

InterruptedException - if interrupted while waiting

submit

<T> Future<T> submit(Callable<T> task)

Submits a value-returning task for execution and returns a Future representing the pending results of the task. The Future's get method will return the task's result upon successful completion.

If you would like to immediately block waiting for a task, you can use constructions of the form result = exec.submit(aCallable).get();

Note: The Executors class includes a set of methods that can convert some other common closure-like objects, for example, PrivilegedAction to Callable form so they can be submitted.

Parameters:

task - the task to submit

Returns:

a Future representing pending completion of the task

Throws:

RejectedExecutionException - if the task cannot be scheduled for execution

NullPointerException - if the task is null

submit

<T> Future<T> submit(Runnable task,
                     T result)

Submits a Runnable task for execution and returns a Future representing that task. The Future's get method will return the given result upon successful completion.

Parameters:

task - the task to submit

result - the result to return

Returns:

a Future representing pending completion of the task

Throws:

RejectedExecutionException - if the task cannot be scheduled for execution

NullPointerException - if the task is null

submit

Future<?> submit(Runnable task)

Submits a Runnable task for execution and returns a Future representing that task. The Future's get method will return null upon successful completion.

Parameters:

task - the task to submit

Returns:

a Future representing pending completion of the task

Throws:

RejectedExecutionException - if the task cannot be scheduled for execution

NullPointerException - if the task is null

invokeAll

<T> List<Future<T>> invokeAll(Collection<? extends Callable<T>> tasks)
                          throws InterruptedException

Executes the given tasks, returning a list of Futures holding their status and results when all complete. Future.isDone() is true for each element of the returned list. Note that a completed task could have terminated either normally or by throwing an exception. The results of this method are undefined if the given collection is modified while this operation is in progress.

Parameters:

tasks - the collection of tasks

Returns:

A list of Futures representing the tasks, in the same sequential order as produced by the iterator for the given task list, each of which has completed.

Throws:

InterruptedException - if interrupted while waiting, in which case unfinished tasks are cancelled.

NullPointerException - if tasks or any of its elements are null

RejectedExecutionException - if any task cannot be scheduled for execution

invokeAll

<T> List<Future<T>> invokeAll(Collection<? extends Callable<T>> tasks,
                              long timeout,
                              TimeUnit unit)
                          throws InterruptedException

Executes the given tasks, returning a list of Futures holding their status and results when all complete or the timeout expires, whichever happens first. Future.isDone() is true for each element of the returned list. Upon return, tasks that have not completed are cancelled. Note that a completed task could have terminated either normally or by throwing an exception. The results of this method are undefined if the given collection is modified while this operation is in progress.

Parameters:

tasks - the collection of tasks

timeout - the maximum time to wait

unit - the time unit of the timeout argument

Returns:

a list of Futures representing the tasks, in the same sequential order as produced by the iterator for the given task list. If the operation did not time out, each task will have completed. If it did time out, some of these tasks will not have completed.

Throws:

InterruptedException - if interrupted while waiting, in which case unfinished tasks are cancelled

NullPointerException - if tasks, any of its elements, or unit are null

RejectedExecutionException - if any task cannot be scheduled for execution

invokeAny

<T> T invokeAny(Collection<? extends Callable<T>> tasks)
            throws InterruptedException,
                   ExecutionException

Executes the given tasks, returning the result of one that has completed successfully (i.e., without throwing an exception), if any do. Upon normal or exceptional return, tasks that have not completed are cancelled. The results of this method are undefined if the given collection is modified while this operation is in progress.

Parameters:

tasks - the collection of tasks

Returns:

the result returned by one of the tasks

Throws:

InterruptedException - if interrupted while waiting

NullPointerException - if tasks or any element task subject to execution is null

IllegalArgumentException - if tasks is empty

ExecutionException - if no task successfully completes

RejectedExecutionException - if tasks cannot be scheduled for execution

invokeAny

<T> T invokeAny(Collection<? extends Callable<T>> tasks,
                long timeout,
                TimeUnit unit)
            throws InterruptedException,
                   ExecutionException,
                   TimeoutException

Executes the given tasks, returning the result of one that has completed successfully (i.e., without throwing an exception), if any do before the given timeout elapses. Upon normal or exceptional return, tasks that have not completed are cancelled. The results of this method are undefined if the given collection is modified while this operation is in progress.

Parameters:

tasks - the collection of tasks

timeout - the maximum time to wait

unit - the time unit of the timeout argument

Returns:

the result returned by one of the tasks.

Throws:

InterruptedException - if interrupted while waiting

NullPointerException - if tasks, or unit, or any element task subject to execution is null

TimeoutException - if the given timeout elapses before any task successfully completes

ExecutionException - if no task successfully completes

RejectedExecutionException - if tasks cannot be scheduled for execution
