Java多线程的join和interrupt方法

Java的join()官方的解释:

Waits for this thread to die.

等待当前线程直到当前线程结束。

假设现在有A、B，线程A在线程B内调用A.join()，那么线程B会被挂起，直到A线程完成后才恢复。

比如线程没有使用join

public class TestJoin {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        TestJoin testJoin = new TestJoin();
        Thread task = new Thread(testJoin.new Task());
        System.out.println("Begin Time: " + new Date());
        task.start();
        System.out.println("Finish Time: " + new Date());
    }

    class Task implements Runnable {

        @Override
        public void run() {
            try {
                Thread.sleep(2000);
                System.out.println("task: " + new Date());

            } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        }
    }
}

控制台输出

Begin Time: Fri Apr 14 21:36:46 CST 2017
Finish Time: Fri Apr 14 21:36:46 CST 2017
task: Fri Apr 14 21:36:48 CST 2017

Task线程最后完成，等待了2s。

在task.start();后面添加task.join()

        ...
        System.out.println("Begin Time: " + new Date());
        task.start();
        task.join();
        System.out.println("Finish Time: " + new Date());
        ...

控制台输出

Begin Time: Fri Apr 14 21:38:36 CST 2017
task: Fri Apr 14 21:38:38 CST 2017
Finish Time: Fri Apr 14 21:38:38 CST 2017

可以看到主线程被挂起，等待了2s，直到task完成主线程才恢复。

使用interrupt()方法可以中断join()方法的调用。 继续上面的A、B线程，A线程调用了join()，导致B线程挂起，如果A线程调用interrupt()，则A线程被中断，抛出InterruptedException异常，B线程恢复。

现在修改Task类

public class TestJoin {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        TestJoin testJoin = new TestJoin();
        Thread task = new Thread(testJoin.new Task());
        System.out.println("Begin Time: " + new Date());
        task.start();
        task.join();
        System.out.println("Finish Time: " + new Date());
    }

    class Task implements Runnable {

        @Override
        public void run() {
            try {
                Thread.currentThread().interrupt();
                Thread.sleep(2000);
                System.out.println("task: " + new Date());
            } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                System.out.println("Task is interrupted");
            }
        }
    }
}

在Task的run方法中调用Thread.currentThread().interrupt();
控制台输出

Begin Time: Fri Apr 14 21:45:11 CST 2017
Task is interrupted
Finish Time: Fri Apr 14 21:45:11 CST 2017

Task线程被终止，主线程继续运行。
