Method Detail
newFixedThreadPool
public static ExecutorService newFixedThreadPool(int nThreads)
Creates a thread pool that reuses a fixed number of threads operating off a shared unbounded queue. At any point, at mostnThreads
threads will be active processing tasks. If additional tasks are submitted when all threads are active, they will wait in the queue until a thread is available. If any thread terminates due to a failure during execution prior to shutdown, a new one will take its place if needed to execute subsequent tasks. The threads in the pool will exist until it is explicitlyshutdown
.- Parameters:
nThreads
- the number of threads in the pool- Returns:
- the newly created thread pool
- Throws:
IllegalArgumentException
- ifnThreads <= 0
newWorkStealingPool
public static ExecutorService newWorkStealingPool(int parallelism)
Creates a thread pool that maintains enough threads to support the given parallelism level, and may use multiple queues to reduce contention. The parallelism level corresponds to the maximum number of threads actively engaged in, or available to engage in, task processing. The actual number of threads may grow and shrink dynamically. A work-stealing pool makes no guarantees about the order in which submitted tasks are executed.- Parameters:
parallelism
- the targeted parallelism level- Returns:
- the newly created thread pool
- Throws:
IllegalArgumentException
- ifparallelism <= 0
- Since:
- 1.8
newWorkStealingPool
public static ExecutorService newWorkStealingPool()
Creates a work-stealing thread pool using the number of available processors as its target parallelism level.- Returns:
- the newly created thread pool
- Since:
- 1.8
- See Also:
newWorkStealingPool(int)
newFixedThreadPool
public static ExecutorService newFixedThreadPool(int nThreads, ThreadFactory threadFactory)
Creates a thread pool that reuses a fixed number of threads operating off a shared unbounded queue, using the provided ThreadFactory to create new threads when needed. At any point, at mostnThreads
threads will be active processing tasks. If additional tasks are submitted when all threads are active, they will wait in the queue until a thread is available. If any thread terminates due to a failure during execution prior to shutdown, a new one will take its place if needed to execute subsequent tasks. The threads in the pool will exist until it is explicitlyshutdown
.- Parameters:
nThreads
- the number of threads in the poolthreadFactory
- the factory to use when creating new threads- Returns:
- the newly created thread pool
- Throws:
NullPointerException
- if threadFactory is nullIllegalArgumentException
- ifnThreads <= 0
newSingleThreadExecutor
public static ExecutorService newSingleThreadExecutor()
Creates an Executor that uses a single worker thread operating off an unbounded queue. (Note however that if this single thread terminates due to a failure during execution prior to shutdown, a new one will take its place if needed to execute subsequent tasks.) Tasks are guaranteed to execute sequentially, and no more than one task will be active at any given time. Unlike the otherwise equivalentnewFixedThreadPool(1)
the returned executor is guaranteed not to be reconfigurable to use additional threads.- Returns:
- the newly created single-threaded Executor
newSingleThreadExecutor
public static ExecutorService newSingleThreadExecutor(ThreadFactory threadFactory)
Creates an Executor that uses a single worker thread operating off an unbounded queue, and uses the provided ThreadFactory to create a new thread when needed. Unlike the otherwise equivalentnewFixedThreadPool(1, threadFactory)
the returned executor is guaranteed not to be reconfigurable to use additional threads.- Parameters:
threadFactory
- the factory to use when creating new threads- Returns:
- the newly created single-threaded Executor
- Throws:
NullPointerException
- if threadFactory is null
newCachedThreadPool
public static ExecutorService newCachedThreadPool()
Creates a thread pool that creates new threads as needed, but will reuse previously constructed threads when they are available. These pools will typically improve the performance of programs that execute many short-lived asynchronous tasks. Calls toexecute
will reuse previously constructed threads if available. If no existing thread is available, a new thread will be created and added to the pool. Threads that have not been used for sixty seconds are terminated and removed from the cache. Thus, a pool that remains idle for long enough will not consume any resources. Note that pools with similar properties but different details (for example, timeout parameters) may be created usingThreadPoolExecutor
constructors.- Returns:
- the newly created thread pool
newCachedThreadPool
public static ExecutorService newCachedThreadPool(ThreadFactory threadFactory)
Creates a thread pool that creates new threads as needed, but will reuse previously constructed threads when they are available, and uses the provided ThreadFactory to create new threads when needed.- Parameters:
threadFactory
- the factory to use when creating new threads- Returns:
- the newly created thread pool
- Throws:
NullPointerException
- if threadFactory is null
newSingleThreadScheduledExecutor
public static ScheduledExecutorService newSingleThreadScheduledExecutor()
Creates a single-threaded executor that can schedule commands to run after a given delay, or to execute periodically. (Note however that if this single thread terminates due to a failure during execution prior to shutdown, a new one will take its place if needed to execute subsequent tasks.) Tasks are guaranteed to execute sequentially, and no more than one task will be active at any given time. Unlike the otherwise equivalentnewScheduledThreadPool(1)
the returned executor is guaranteed not to be reconfigurable to use additional threads.- Returns:
- the newly created scheduled executor
newSingleThreadScheduledExecutor
public static ScheduledExecutorService newSingleThreadScheduledExecutor(ThreadFactory threadFactory)
Creates a single-threaded executor that can schedule commands to run after a given delay, or to execute periodically. (Note however that if this single thread terminates due to a failure during execution prior to shutdown, a new one will take its place if needed to execute subsequent tasks.) Tasks are guaranteed to execute sequentially, and no more than one task will be active at any given time. Unlike the otherwise equivalentnewScheduledThreadPool(1, threadFactory)
the returned executor is guaranteed not to be reconfigurable to use additional threads.- Parameters:
threadFactory
- the factory to use when creating new threads- Returns:
- the newly created scheduled executor
- Throws:
NullPointerException
- if threadFactory is null
newScheduledThreadPool
public static ScheduledExecutorService newScheduledThreadPool(int corePoolSize)
Creates a thread pool that can schedule commands to run after a given delay, or to execute periodically.- Parameters:
corePoolSize
- the number of threads to keep in the pool, even if they are idle- Returns:
- the newly created scheduled thread pool
- Throws:
IllegalArgumentException
- ifcorePoolSize < 0
newScheduledThreadPool
public static ScheduledExecutorService newScheduledThreadPool(int corePoolSize, ThreadFactory threadFactory)
Creates a thread pool that can schedule commands to run after a given delay, or to execute periodically.- Parameters:
corePoolSize
- the number of threads to keep in the pool, even if they are idlethreadFactory
- the factory to use when the executor creates a new thread- Returns:
- the newly created scheduled thread pool
- Throws:
IllegalArgumentException
- ifcorePoolSize < 0
NullPointerException
- if threadFactory is null
unconfigurableExecutorService
public static ExecutorService unconfigurableExecutorService(ExecutorService executor)
Returns an object that delegates all definedExecutorService
methods to the given executor, but not any other methods that might otherwise be accessible using casts. This provides a way to safely "freeze" configuration and disallow tuning of a given concrete implementation.- Parameters:
executor
- the underlying implementation- Returns:
-
an
ExecutorService
instance - Throws:
NullPointerException
- if executor null
unconfigurableScheduledExecutorService
public static ScheduledExecutorService unconfigurableScheduledExecutorService(ScheduledExecutorService executor)
Returns an object that delegates all definedScheduledExecutorService
methods to the given executor, but not any other methods that might otherwise be accessible using casts. This provides a way to safely "freeze" configuration and disallow tuning of a given concrete implementation.- Parameters:
executor
- the underlying implementation- Returns:
-
a
ScheduledExecutorService
instance - Throws:
NullPointerException
- if executor null
defaultThreadFactory
public static ThreadFactory defaultThreadFactory()
Returns a default thread factory used to create new threads. This factory creates all new threads used by an Executor in the sameThreadGroup
. If there is aSecurityManager
, it uses the group ofSystem.getSecurityManager()
, else the group of the thread invoking thisdefaultThreadFactory
method. Each new thread is created as a non-daemon thread with priority set to the smaller ofThread.NORM_PRIORITY
and the maximum priority permitted in the thread group. New threads have names accessible viaThread.getName()
of pool-N-thread-M, where N is the sequence number of this factory, and M is the sequence number of the thread created by this factory.- Returns:
- a thread factory
privilegedThreadFactory
public static ThreadFactory privilegedThreadFactory()
Returns a thread factory used to create new threads that have the same permissions as the current thread. This factory creates threads with the same settings asdefaultThreadFactory()
, additionally setting the AccessControlContext and contextClassLoader of new threads to be the same as the thread invoking thisprivilegedThreadFactory
method. A newprivilegedThreadFactory
can be created within anAccessController.doPrivileged
action setting the current thread's access control context to create threads with the selected permission settings holding within that action.Note that while tasks running within such threads will have the same access control and class loader settings as the current thread, they need not have the same
ThreadLocal
orInheritableThreadLocal
values. If necessary, particular values of thread locals can be set or reset before any task runs inThreadPoolExecutor
subclasses usingThreadPoolExecutor.beforeExecute(Thread, Runnable)
. Also, if it is necessary to initialize worker threads to have the same InheritableThreadLocal settings as some other designated thread, you can create a custom ThreadFactory in which that thread waits for and services requests to create others that will inherit its values.- Returns:
- a thread factory
- Throws:
AccessControlException
- if the current access control context does not have permission to both get and set context class loader
