This class arranges that submitted tasks are, * upon completion, placed on a queue accessible using {@code take}. * The class is lightweight enough to be suitable for transient use * when processing groups of tasks. * *
* * Usage Examples. * * Suppose you have a set of solvers for a certain problem, each * returning a value of some type {@code Result}, and would like to * run them concurrently, processing the results of each of them that * return a non-null value, in some method {@code use(Result r)}. You * could write this as: * *
{@code
* void solve(Executor e,
* Collection> solvers)
* throws InterruptedException, ExecutionException {
* CompletionService ecs
* = new ExecutorCompletionService(e);
* for (Callable s : solvers)
* ecs.submit(s);
* int n = solvers.size();
* for (int i = 0; i < n; ++i) {
* Result r = ecs.take().get();
* if (r != null)
* use(r);
* }
* }}
*
* Suppose instead that you would like to use the first non-null result
* of the set of tasks, ignoring any that encounter exceptions,
* and cancelling all other tasks when the first one is ready:
*
* {@code
* void solve(Executor e,
* Collection> solvers)
* throws InterruptedException {
* CompletionService ecs
* = new ExecutorCompletionService(e);
* int n = solvers.size();
* List> futures
* = new ArrayList>(n);
* Result result = null;
* try {
* for (Callable s : solvers)
* futures.add(ecs.submit(s));
* for (int i = 0; i < n; ++i) {
* try {
* Result r = ecs.take().get();
* if (r != null) {
* result = r;
* break;
* }
* } catch (ExecutionException ignore) {}
* }
* }
* finally {
* for (Future f : futures)
* f.cancel(true);
* }
*
* if (result != null)
* use(result);
* }}
