Welcome to the Java Scheduler Example. Today we will look into ScheduledExecutorService
and it’s implementation class ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor
example.
欢迎使用Java Scheduler示例。 今天,我们将研究ScheduledExecutorService
及其实现类ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor
示例。
Java Scheduler ScheduledExecutorService (Java Scheduler ScheduledExecutorService)
Sometimes we need to execute a task periodically or after specific delay. Java provides Timer Class through which we can achieve this but sometimes we need to run similar tasks in parallel. So creating multiple Timer objects will be an overhead to the system and it’s better to have a thread pool of scheduled tasks.
有时我们需要定期或在特定的延迟后执行任务。 Java提供了Timer类,通过它可以实现此目的,但有时我们需要并行运行类似的任务。 因此,创建多个Timer对象将是系统的开销,并且最好有一个计划任务的线程池。
Java provides scheduled thread pool implementation through ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor
class that implements ScheduledExecutorService
interface. ScheduledExecutorService defines the contract methods to schedule a task with different options.
Java通过实现ScheduledExecutorService
接口的ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor
类提供了调度线程池实现。 ScheduledExecutorService定义合同方法以安排具有不同选项的任务。
Sometime back I wrote a post about Java ThreadPoolExecutor where I was using Executors class to create the thread pool. Executors class also provide factory methods to create ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor where we can specify the number of threads in the pool.
有时,我写了一篇有关Java ThreadPoolExecutor的帖子,其中我使用Executors类创建线程池。 Executors类还提供了工厂方法来创建ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor ,我们可以在其中指定池中的线程数。
Java Scheduler示例 (Java Scheduler Example)
Let’s say we have a simple Runnable class like below.
假设我们有一个简单的Runnable类,如下所示。
WorkerThread.java
WorkerThread.java
package com.journaldev.threads;
import java.util.Date;
public class WorkerThread implements Runnable{
private String command;
public WorkerThread(String s){
this.command=s;
}
@Override
public void run() {
System.out.println(Thread.currentThread().getName()+" Start. Time = "+new Date());
processCommand();
System.out.println(Thread.currentThread().getName()+" End. Time = "+new Date());
}
private void processCommand() {
try {
Thread.sleep(5000);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
@Override
public String toString(){
return this.command;
}
}
It’s a simple Runnable class that takes around 5 seconds to execute its task.
这是一个简单的Runnable类,大约需要5秒钟来执行其任务。
Let’s see a simple example where we will schedule the worker thread to execute after 10 seconds delay. We will use Executors class newScheduledThreadPool(int corePoolSize)
method that returns instance of ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor
. Here is the code snippet from Executors class.
让我们看一个简单的示例,在该示例中,我们将调度工作线程在延迟10秒后执行。 我们将使用Executors类的newScheduledThreadPool(int corePoolSize)
方法,该方法返回ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor
实例。 这是Executors类的代码片段。
public static ScheduledExecutorService newScheduledThreadPool(int corePoolSize) {
return new ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor(corePoolSize);
}
Below is our java scheduler example program using ScheduledExecutorService
and ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor
implementation.
下面是我们的Java Scheduler示例程序,它使用ScheduledExecutorService
和ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor
实现。
package com.journaldev.threads;
import java.util.Date;
import java.util.concurrent.Executors;
import java.util.concurrent.ScheduledExecutorService;
import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;
public class ScheduledThreadPool {
public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {
ScheduledExecutorService scheduledThreadPool = Executors.newScheduledThreadPool(5);
//schedule to run after sometime
System.out.println("Current Time = "+new Date());
for(int i=0; i<3; i++){
Thread.sleep(1000);
WorkerThread worker = new WorkerThread("do heavy processing");
scheduledThreadPool.schedule(worker, 10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
}
//add some delay to let some threads spawn by scheduler
Thread.sleep(30000);
scheduledThreadPool.shutdown();
while(!scheduledThreadPool.isTerminated()){
//wait for all tasks to finish
}
System.out.println("Finished all threads");
}
}
When we run above java scheduler example program, we get following output that confirms that tasks are running with 10 seconds delay.
当我们在Java Scheduler示例程序上方运行时,将得到以下输出,该输出确认任务正在以10秒的延迟运行。
Current Time = Tue Oct 29 15:10:03 IST 2013
pool-1-thread-1 Start. Time = Tue Oct 29 15:10:14 IST 2013
pool-1-thread-2 Start. Time = Tue Oct 29 15:10:15 IST 2013
pool-1-thread-3 Start. Time = Tue Oct 29 15:10:16 IST 2013
pool-1-thread-1 End. Time = Tue Oct 29 15:10:19 IST 2013
pool-1-thread-2 End. Time = Tue Oct 29 15:10:20 IST 2013
pool-1-thread-3 End. Time = Tue Oct 29 15:10:21 IST 2013
Finished all threads
Note that all the schedule()
methods return instance of ScheduledFuture
that we can use to get the thread state information and delay time for the thread.
请注意,所有schedule()
方法都返回ScheduledFuture
实例,我们可以使用该实例获取线程状态信息和线程的延迟时间。
ScheduledFuture extends Future interface, read more about them at Java Callable Future Example.
ScheduledFuture扩展了Future接口,请在Java Callable Future Example上阅读有关它们的更多信息。
There are two more methods in ScheduledExecutorService that provide option to schedule a task to run periodically.
ScheduledExecutorService中还有另外两种方法,它们提供了计划任务定期运行的选项。
ScheduledExecutorService scheduleAtFixedRate(可运行命令,长initialDelay,长周期,TimeUnit单位) (ScheduledExecutorService scheduleAtFixedRate(Runnable command,long initialDelay,long period,TimeUnit unit))
We can use ScheduledExecutorService scheduleAtFixedRate method to schedule a task to run after initial delay and then with the given period.
我们可以使用ScheduledExecutorService scheduleAtFixedRate方法来调度任务,使其在初始延迟之后并在给定时间段内运行。
The time period is from the start of the first thread in the pool, so if you are specifying period as 1 second and your thread runs for 5 second, then the next thread will start executing as soon as the first worker thread finishes it’s execution.
时间段是从池中第一个线程的起点开始的,因此,如果将period指定为1秒,并且线程运行5秒钟,则下一个线程将在第一个工作线程完成执行后立即开始执行。
For example, if we have code like this:
例如,如果我们有这样的代码:
for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
Thread.sleep(1000);
WorkerThread worker = new WorkerThread("do heavy processing");
// schedule task to execute at fixed rate
scheduledThreadPool.scheduleAtFixedRate(worker, 0, 10,
TimeUnit.SECONDS);
}
Then we will get output like below.
然后我们将得到如下输出。
Current Time = Tue Oct 29 16:10:00 IST 2013
pool-1-thread-1 Start. Time = Tue Oct 29 16:10:01 IST 2013
pool-1-thread-2 Start. Time = Tue Oct 29 16:10:02 IST 2013
pool-1-thread-3 Start. Time = Tue Oct 29 16:10:03 IST 2013
pool-1-thread-1 End. Time = Tue Oct 29 16:10:06 IST 2013
pool-1-thread-2 End. Time = Tue Oct 29 16:10:07 IST 2013
pool-1-thread-3 End. Time = Tue Oct 29 16:10:08 IST 2013
pool-1-thread-1 Start. Time = Tue Oct 29 16:10:11 IST 2013
pool-1-thread-4 Start. Time = Tue Oct 29 16:10:12 IST 2013
ScheduledExecutorService scheduleWithFixedDelay(可运行命令,长initialDelay,长延迟,TimeUnit单位) (ScheduledExecutorService scheduleWithFixedDelay(Runnable command,long initialDelay,long delay,TimeUnit unit))
ScheduledExecutorService scheduleWithFixedDelay method can be used to start the periodic execution with initial delay and then execute with given delay. The delay time is from the time thread finishes it’s execution. So if we have code like below:
ScheduledExecutorService scheduleWithFixedDelay方法可用于以初始延迟开始定期执行,然后以给定延迟执行。 延迟时间是从线程完成执行的时间开始。 因此,如果我们有如下代码:
for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
Thread.sleep(1000);
WorkerThread worker = new WorkerThread("do heavy processing");
scheduledThreadPool.scheduleWithFixedDelay(worker, 0, 1,
TimeUnit.SECONDS);
}
Then we will get output like below.
然后我们将得到如下输出。
Current Time = Tue Oct 29 16:14:13 IST 2013
pool-1-thread-1 Start. Time = Tue Oct 29 16:14:14 IST 2013
pool-1-thread-2 Start. Time = Tue Oct 29 16:14:15 IST 2013
pool-1-thread-3 Start. Time = Tue Oct 29 16:14:16 IST 2013
pool-1-thread-1 End. Time = Tue Oct 29 16:14:19 IST 2013
pool-1-thread-2 End. Time = Tue Oct 29 16:14:20 IST 2013
pool-1-thread-1 Start. Time = Tue Oct 29 16:14:20 IST 2013
pool-1-thread-3 End. Time = Tue Oct 29 16:14:21 IST 2013
pool-1-thread-4 Start. Time = Tue Oct 29 16:14:21 IST 2013
That’s all for java scheduler example. We learned about ScheduledExecutorService and ScheduledThreadPoolExecutorthread too. You should check other articles about Multithreading in Java.
