java.util.concurrent|Semaphore使用

Semaphore是java.util.concurrent中的一个类，翻译成中文是“信号量”，它是一个计数器，使用场景基本上多线程访问共享资源，保护共享资源在某个时间只能被一个线程使用。

Semaphore原理

Semaphore相当于计数器，它可以增加，也可以减少，在初始化对象的时候，可以指定permits（信号量）数目，比如5，那么，Semaphore最多减少到0，最多增加不超过5。
显然，Semaphore更多时候被当作计数器来使用，当计数器为0的时候，线程处于等待状态，因此，它可以当作锁来使用。
在多线程编程中，使用Semaphore保护共享资源，一定要在线程中使用semaphore的acquire方法获取“信号量”，如果信号量大于0就可以使用共享资源，等于0则使用线程处于等待状态，直到其他线程使用完资源后调用release释放“信号量”

Semaphore使用

场景：使用Semaphore保证打印任务只能被多线程中的一个使用

PrintingJob.java

/**
 * 提交任务给打印队列
 * @Auothor wzx
 * @Date 2017/3/11 0011
 */
public class PrintingJob implements Runnable {

    private PrinterQueue printerQueue;

    public PrintingJob(PrinterQueue printerQueue) {
        this.printerQueue = printerQueue;
    }

    @Override
    public void run() {
        System.out.printf("%s: Going to print a document\n", Thread.currentThread().getName());
        printerQueue.printJob(new Object());
    }

}

PrinterQueue.java

/**
 * 打印任务,使用semaphore保证
 * @Auothor wzx
 * @Date 2017/3/11 0011
 */
public class PrinterQueue {

    private final Semaphore semaphore;


    public PrinterQueue() {
        this.semaphore = new Semaphore(1);
    }

    public void printJob(Object document) {
        try {
           semaphore.acquire();

            long duration = (long) (Math.random() * 10000);
            System.out.println(Thread.currentThread().getName() + ": PrintQueue: Printing a Job during " +
                    (duration/1000) + " seconds :: Time - " + new Date());
            Thread.sleep(duration);

        } catch(InterruptedException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } finally {
            System.out.printf("%s The document has been printed\n", Thread.currentThread().getName());
            semaphore.release();
        }
    }

}

SemaphoreExample .java

/**
 * 测试Semaphore
 * @Auothor wzx
 * @Date 2017/3/11 0011
 */
public class SemaphoreExample {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        PrinterQueue printerQueue = new PrinterQueue();
        Thread[] threads = new Thread[10];
        for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
            threads[i] = new Thread(new PrintingJob(printerQueue));
        }
        for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
            threads[i].start();
        }
    }
}

输出如下：

Thread-0: Going to print a document
Thread-9: Going to print a document
Thread-8: Going to print a document
Thread-7: Going to print a document
Thread-6: Going to print a document
Thread-5: Going to print a document

使用步骤：
1.使用acquire()方法获取“信号量”；
2.对共享资源进行操作；
3.使用release()方法释放资源，为保证资源能安全释放，推荐写在finally代码块中；
