DelayedWorkQueue与ScheduledFutureTask

关键词：BlockingQueue    DelayedWorkQueue    ScheduledFutureTask    ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor

 在ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor这种类型的ThreadPoolExecutor线程池中，使用到的阻塞队列为DelayedWorkQueue，并且需要了解ScheduledFutureTask。为方便ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor的学习，这里先介绍DelayedWorkQueue、ScheduledFutureTask。

█ DelayedWorkQueue

DelayedWorkQueue实现了BlockingQueue接口，其是在ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor中定义的一个内部类。

static class DelayedWorkQueue extends AbstractQueue<Runnable>
    implements BlockingQueue<Runnable>

从DelayedWorkQueue的类定义上面可以看出，泛型为Runnable，即DelayedWorkQueue队列中存放的元素类型为Runnable类型。

字段：

private static final int INITIAL_CAPACITY = 16;
private RunnableScheduledFuture<?>[] queue =
    new RunnableScheduledFuture<?>[INITIAL_CAPACITY];
private final ReentrantLock lock = new ReentrantLock();
private int size = 0;
private Thread leader = null;
private final Condition available = lock.newCondition();

• queue

RunnableScheduledFuture类型的数组，从DelayedWorkQueue类的定义上已经看见，其声明的泛型类型为Runnable类型，实际上队列中存放的具体类型为RunnableScheduledFuture。

public interface RunnableScheduledFuture<V> extends RunnableFuture<V>, ScheduledFuture<V> {

    boolean isPeriodic();
}
