java.lang.Object java.util.concurrent.AbstractExecutorService java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor
public class ThreadPoolExecutor
An ExecutorService
that executes each submitted task using
one of possibly several pooled threads, normally configured
using Executors
factory methods.
Thread pools address two different problems: they usually provide improved performance when executing large numbers of asynchronous tasks, due to reduced per-task invocation overhead, and they provide a means of bounding and managing the resources, including threads, consumed when executing a collection of tasks. Each ThreadPoolExecutor also maintains some basic statistics, such as the number of completed tasks.
To be useful across a wide range of contexts, this class
provides many adjustable parameters and extensibility
hooks. However, programmers are urged to use the more convenient
Executors
factory methods Executors.newCachedThreadPool()
(unbounded thread pool, with
automatic thread reclamation), Executors.newFixedThreadPool(int)
(fixed size thread pool) and Executors.newSingleThreadExecutor()
(single background thread), that
preconfigure settings for the most common usage
scenarios. Otherwise, use the following guide when manually
configuring and tuning this class:
getPoolSize()
)
according to the bounds set by corePoolSize
(see getCorePoolSize()
)
and
maximumPoolSize
(see getMaximumPoolSize()
).
When a new task is submitted in method execute(java.lang.Runnable)
, and fewer than corePoolSize threads
are running, a new thread is created to handle the request, even if
other worker threads are idle. If there are more than
corePoolSize but less than maximumPoolSize threads running, a new
thread will be created only if the queue is full. By setting
corePoolSize and maximumPoolSize the same, you create a fixed-size
thread pool. By setting maximumPoolSize to an essentially unbounded
value such as Integer.MAX_VALUE, you allow the pool to
accommodate an arbitrary number of concurrent tasks. Most typically,
core and maximum pool sizes are set only upon construction, but they
may also be changed dynamically using setCorePoolSize(int)
and setMaximumPoolSize(int)
. prestartCoreThread()
or
prestartAllCoreThreads()
. ThreadFactory
. If not otherwise specified, a
Executors.defaultThreadFactory()
is used, that creates threads to all
be in the same ThreadGroup
and with the same
NORM_PRIORITY priority and non-daemon status. By supplying
a different ThreadFactory, you can alter the thread's name, thread
group, priority, daemon status, etc. If a ThreadFactory fails to create
a thread when asked by returning null from newThread,
the executor will continue, but might
not be able to execute any tasks. getKeepAliveTime(java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit)
). This provides a means of
reducing resource consumption when the pool is not being actively
used. If the pool becomes more active later, new threads will be
constructed. This parameter can also be changed dynamically
using method setKeepAliveTime(long, java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit)
. Using
a value of Long.MAX_VALUE TimeUnit.NANOSECONDS
effectively disables idle threads from ever terminating prior
to shut down.
BlockingQueue
may be used to transfer and hold
submitted tasks. The use of this queue interacts with pool sizing:
SynchronousQueue
that hands off tasks to threads
without otherwise holding them. Here, an attempt to queue a task
will fail if no threads are immediately available to run it, so a
new thread will be constructed. This policy avoids lockups when
handling sets of requests that might have internal dependencies.
Direct handoffs generally require unbounded maximumPoolSizes to
avoid rejection of new submitted tasks. This in turn admits the
possibility of unbounded thread growth when commands continue to
arrive on average faster than they can be processed. LinkedBlockingQueue
without a predefined
capacity) will cause new tasks to be queued in cases where all
corePoolSize threads are busy. Thus, no more than corePoolSize
threads will ever be created. (And the value of the maximumPoolSize
therefore doesn't have any effect.) This may be appropriate when
each task is completely independent of others, so tasks cannot
affect each others execution; for example, in a web page server.
While this style of queuing can be useful in smoothing out
transient bursts of requests, it admits the possibility of
unbounded work queue growth when commands continue to arrive on
average faster than they can be processed. ArrayBlockingQueue
) helps prevent resource exhaustion when
used with finite maximumPoolSizes, but can be more difficult to
tune and control. Queue sizes and maximum pool sizes may be traded
off for each other: Using large queues and small pools minimizes
CPU usage, OS resources, and context-switching overhead, but can
lead to artificially low throughput. If tasks frequently block (for
example if they are I/O bound), a system may be able to schedule
time for more threads than you otherwise allow. Use of small queues
generally requires larger pool sizes, which keeps CPUs busier but
may encounter unacceptable scheduling overhead, which also
decreases throughput. execute(java.lang.Runnable)
will be rejected when the
Executor has been shut down, and also when the Executor uses finite
bounds for both maximum threads and work queue capacity, and is
saturated. In either case, the execute method invokes the
RejectedExecutionHandler.rejectedExecution(java.lang.Runnable, java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor)
method of its
RejectedExecutionHandler
. Four predefined handler policies
are provided:
ThreadPoolExecutor.AbortPolicy
, the handler throws a
runtime RejectedExecutionException
upon rejection. ThreadPoolExecutor.CallerRunsPolicy
, the thread that invokes
execute itself runs the task. This provides a simple
feedback control mechanism that will slow down the rate that new
tasks are submitted. ThreadPoolExecutor.DiscardPolicy
,
a task that cannot be executed is simply dropped. ThreadPoolExecutor.DiscardOldestPolicy
, if the executor is not
shut down, the task at the head of the work queue is dropped, and
then execution is retried (which can fail again, causing this to be
repeated.) RejectedExecutionHandler
classes. Doing so requires some care
especially when policies are designed to work only under particular
capacity or queuing policies. beforeExecute(java.lang.Thread, java.lang.Runnable)
and afterExecute(java.lang.Runnable, java.lang.Throwable)
methods that are called before and
after execution of each task. These can be used to manipulate the
execution environment; for example, reinitializing ThreadLocals,
gathering statistics, or adding log entries. Additionally, method
terminated()
can be overridden to perform
any special processing that needs to be done once the Executor has
fully terminated.
If hook or callback methods throw exceptions, internal worker threads may in turn fail and abruptly terminate.
getQueue()
allows access to
the work queue for purposes of monitoring and debugging. Use of
this method for any other purpose is strongly discouraged. Two
supplied methods, remove(java.lang.Runnable)
and purge()
are available to assist in storage
reclamation when large numbers of queued tasks become
cancelled.Extension example. Most extensions of this class override one or more of the protected hook methods. For example, here is a subclass that adds a simple pause/resume feature:
class PausableThreadPoolExecutor extends ThreadPoolExecutor { private boolean isPaused; private ReentrantLock pauseLock = new ReentrantLock(); private Condition unpaused = pauseLock.newCondition(); public PausableThreadPoolExecutor(...) { super(...); } protected void beforeExecute(Thread t, Runnable r) { super.beforeExecute(t, r); pauseLock.lock(); try { while (isPaused) unpaused.await(); } catch(InterruptedException ie) { t.interrupt(); } finally { pauseLock.unlock(); } } public void pause() { pauseLock.lock(); try { isPaused = true; } finally { pauseLock.unlock(); } } public void resume() { pauseLock.lock(); try { isPaused = false; unpaused.signalAll(); } finally { pauseLock.unlock(); } } }

This method may be useful as one part of a cancellation
scheme. It may fail to remove tasks that have been converted
into other forms before being placed on the internal queue. For
example, a task entered using submit might be
converted into a form that maintains Future status.
However, in such cases, method purge()
may be used to remove those Futures that have been cancelled.

tasks that have been cancelled. This method can be useful as a
storage reclamation operation, that has no other impact on
functionality. Cancelled tasks are never executed, but may
accumulate in work queues until worker threads can actively
remove them. Invoking this method instead tries to remove them now.
However, this method may fail to remove tasks in
the presence of interference by other threads.
