CountDownLatch

### 介绍

 

A synchronization aid that allows one or more threads to wait until a set of operations being performed in other threads completes. CountDownLatch是一个同步工具类，它允许一个或多个线程一直等待，直到其他线程执行完后再执行。

A CountDownLatch is initialized with a given count. The await methods block until the current count reaches zero due to invocations of the countDown() method, after which all waiting threads are released and any subsequent invocations of await return immediately. This is a one-shot phenomenon -- the count cannot be reset. If you need a version that resets the count, consider using a CyclicBarrier. CountDownLatch是通过一个计数器来实现的，计数器的初始化值为线程的数量。每当一个线程完成了自己的任务后，计数器的值就相应得减1。当计数器到达0时，表示所有的线程都已完成任务，然后在闭锁上等待的线程就可以恢复执行任务。

### 基本步骤

* 伪代码

Main thread start
Create CountDownLatch for N threads
Create and start N threads
Main thead wait on latch
N threads completes there tasks are returns
Main thread resume execution

### 使用场景

1.同时启动多个线程，实现最大程度的并行性。例如，我们想测试一个单例类。如果我们创建一个初始计数器为1的CountDownLatch，并让其他所有线程都在这个锁上等待，只需要调用一次countDown()方法就可以让其他所有等待的线程同时恢复执行。

2.等待N个线程完成各自任务：例如应用程序启动类要确保在处理用户请求前，所有N个外部系统都已经启动和运行了。
