Class PriorityBlockingQueue<E>

java.lang.Object
  java.util.AbstractCollection<E>
      java.util.AbstractQueue<E>
          java.util.concurrent.PriorityBlockingQueue<E>


Type Parameters:: E - the type of elements held in this collection

All Implemented Interfaces:: Serializable, Iterable<E>, Collection<E>, BlockingQueue<E>, Queue<E>

public class PriorityBlockingQueue<E>
extends AbstractQueue<E>
implements BlockingQueue<E>, Serializable
extends AbstractQueue<E>
implements BlockingQueue<E>, Serializable

An unbounded blocking queue that uses the same ordering rules as class PriorityQueue and supplies blocking retrieval operations. While this queue is logically unbounded, attempted additions may fail due to resource exhaustion (causing OutOfMemoryError). This class does not permit null elements. A priority queue relying on natural ordering also does not permit insertion of non-comparable objects (doing so results in ClassCastException).

This class and its iterator implement all of the optional methods of the Collection and Iterator interfaces. The Iterator provided in method iterator() is not guaranteed to traverse the elements of the PriorityBlockingQueue in any particular order. If you need ordered traversal, consider using Arrays.sort(pq.toArray()). Also, method drainTo can be used to remove some or all elements in priority order and place them in another collection.

Operations on this class make no guarantees about the ordering of elements with equal priority. If you need to enforce an ordering, you can define custom classes or comparators that use a secondary key to break ties in primary priority values. For example, here is a class that applies first-in-first-out tie-breaking to comparable elements. To use it, you would insert a new FIFOEntry(anEntry) instead of a plain entry object.

 class FIFOEntry<E extends Comparable<? super E>>
     implements Comparable<FIFOEntry<E>> {
   final static AtomicLong seq = new AtomicLong();
   final long seqNum;
   final E entry;
   public FIFOEntry(E entry) {
     seqNum = seq.getAndIncrement();
     this.entry = entry;
   }
   public E getEntry() { return entry; }
   public int compareTo(FIFOEntry<E> other) {
     int res = entry.compareTo(other.entry);
     if (res == 0 && other.entry != this.entry)
       res = (seqNum < other.seqNum ? -1 : 1);
     return res;
   }
 }

This class is a member of the Java Collections Framework.

remove

public boolean remove(Object o)

Removes a single instance of the specified element from this queue, if it is present. More formally, removes an element e such that o.equals(e), if this queue contains one or more such elements. Returns true if and only if this queue contained the specified element (or equivalently, if this queue changed as a result of the call).

Specified by:: remove in interface Collection<E>
Specified by:: remove in interface BlockingQueue<E>
Overrides:: remove in class AbstractCollection<E>

Parameters:: o - element to be removed from this queue, if present
Returns:: true if this queue changed as a result of the call

contains

public boolean contains(Object o)

Returns true if this queue contains the specified element. More formally, returns true if and only if this queue contains at least one element e such that o.equals(e).

Specified by:: contains in interface Collection<E>
Specified by:: contains in interface BlockingQueue<E>
Overrides:: contains in class AbstractCollection<E>

Parameters:: o - object to be checked for containment in this queue
Returns:: true if this queue contains the specified element

toArray

public Object[] toArray()

Returns an array containing all of the elements in this queue. The returned array elements are in no particular order.

The returned array will be "safe" in that no references to it are maintained by this queue. (In other words, this method must allocate a new array). The caller is thus free to modify the returned array.

This method acts as bridge between array-based and collection-based APIs.

Specified by:: toArray in interface Collection<E>
Overrides:: toArray in class AbstractCollection<E>

Returns:: an array containing all of the elements in this queue

toString

public String toString()

Description copied from class: AbstractCollection

Returns a string representation of this collection. The string representation consists of a list of the collection's elements in the order they are returned by its iterator, enclosed in square brackets ("[]"). Adjacent elements are separated by the characters ", " (comma and space). Elements are converted to strings as by String.valueOf(Object).

Overrides:: toString in class AbstractCollection<E>

Returns:: a string representation of this collection

drainTo

public int drainTo(Collection<? super E> c)

Description copied from interface: BlockingQueue

Removes all available elements from this queue and adds them to the given collection. This operation may be more efficient than repeatedly polling this queue. A failure encountered while attempting to add elements to collection c may result in elements being in neither, either or both collections when the associated exception is thrown. Attempts to drain a queue to itself result in IllegalArgumentException. Further, the behavior of this operation is undefined if the specified collection is modified while the operation is in progress.

Specified by:: drainTo in interface BlockingQueue<E>

Parameters:: c - the collection to transfer elements into
Returns:: the number of elements transferred
Throws:: UnsupportedOperationException - if addition of elements is not supported by the specified collection; ClassCastException - if the class of an element of this queue prevents it from being added to the specified collection; NullPointerException - if the specified collection is null; IllegalArgumentException - if the specified collection is this queue, or some property of an element of this queue prevents it from being added to the specified collection

drainTo

public int drainTo(Collection<? super E> c,
                   int maxElements)

Description copied from interface: BlockingQueue

Removes at most the given number of available elements from this queue and adds them to the given collection. A failure encountered while attempting to add elements to collection c may result in elements being in neither, either or both collections when the associated exception is thrown. Attempts to drain a queue to itself result in IllegalArgumentException. Further, the behavior of this operation is undefined if the specified collection is modified while the operation is in progress.

Specified by:: drainTo in interface BlockingQueue<E>

Parameters:: c - the collection to transfer elements into; maxElements - the maximum number of elements to transfer
Returns:: the number of elements transferred
Throws:: UnsupportedOperationException - if addition of elements is not supported by the specified collection; ClassCastException - if the class of an element of this queue prevents it from being added to the specified collection; NullPointerException - if the specified collection is null; IllegalArgumentException - if the specified collection is this queue, or some property of an element of this queue prevents it from being added to the specified collection

clear

public void clear()

Atomically removes all of the elements from this queue. The queue will be empty after this call returns.

Specified by:: clear in interface Collection<E>
Overrides:: clear in class AbstractQueue<E>

toArray

public <T> T[] toArray(T[] a)

Returns an array containing all of the elements in this queue; the runtime type of the returned array is that of the specified array. The returned array elements are in no particular order. If the queue fits in the specified array, it is returned therein. Otherwise, a new array is allocated with the runtime type of the specified array and the size of this queue.

If this queue fits in the specified array with room to spare (i.e., the array has more elements than this queue), the element in the array immediately following the end of the queue is set to null.

Like the toArray() method, this method acts as bridge between array-based and collection-based APIs. Further, this method allows precise control over the runtime type of the output array, and may, under certain circumstances, be used to save allocation costs.

Suppose x is a queue known to contain only strings. The following code can be used to dump the queue into a newly allocated array of String:

     String[] y = x.toArray(new String[0]);

Note that toArray(new Object[0]) is identical in function to toArray().

Specified by:: toArray in interface Collection<E>
Overrides:: toArray in class AbstractCollection<E>

Parameters:: a - the array into which the elements of the queue are to be stored, if it is big enough; otherwise, a new array of the same runtime type is allocated for this purpose
Returns:: an array containing all of the elements in this queue
Throws:: ArrayStoreException - if the runtime type of the specified array is not a supertype of the runtime type of every element in this queue; NullPointerException - if the specified array is null

iterator

public Iterator<E> iterator()

Returns an iterator over the elements in this queue. The iterator does not return the elements in any particular order. The returned Iterator is a "weakly consistent" iterator that will never throw ConcurrentModificationException, and guarantees to traverse elements as they existed upon construction of the iterator, and may (but is not guaranteed to) reflect any modifications subsequent to construction.

Specified by:: iterator in interface Iterable<E>
Specified by:: iterator in interface Collection<E>
Specified by:: iterator in class AbstractCollection<E>

Returns:: an iterator over the elements in this queue
