Java中的Runnable、Callable、Future、FutureTask的区别和CompletionService的使用场景

版权声明:本文原创作者:一叶飘舟 作者博客地址:http://blog.csdn.net/jdsjlzx

Java中存在Runnable、Callable、Future、FutureTask这几个与线程相关的类或者接口,在Java中也是比较重要的几个概念,我们通过下面的简单示例来了解一下它们的作用于区别。

Runnable

其中Runnable应该是我们最熟悉的接口,它只有一个run()函数,用于将耗时操作写在其中,该函数没有返回值。然后使用某个线程去执行该runnable即可实现多线程,Thread类在调用start()函数后就是执行的是Runnable的run()函数。Runnable的声明如下 :

@FunctionalInterface
public interface Runnable {
    /**
     * When an object implementing interface <code>Runnable</code> is used
     * to create a thread, starting the thread causes the object's
     * <code>run</code> method to be called in that separately executing
     * thread.
     * <p>
     * The general contract of the method <code>run</code> is that it may
     * take any action whatsoever.
     *
     * @see     java.lang.Thread#run()
     */
    public abstract void run();
}
 
Callable

Callable与Runnable的功能大致相似,Callable中有一个call()函数,但是call()函数有返回值,而Runnable的run()函数不能将结果返回给客户程序。Callable的声明如下 :

@FunctionalInterface
public interface Callable<V> {
    /**
     * Computes a result, or throws an exception if unable to do so.
     *
     * @return computed result
     * @throws Exception if unable to compute a result
     */
    V call() throws Exception;
}
 
可以看到,这是一个泛型接口,call()函数返回的类型就是客户程序传递进来的V类型。

Future

Executor就是Runnable和Callable的调度容器,Future就是对于具体的Runnable或者Callable任务的执行结果进行取消、查询是否完成、获取结果、设置结果操作。get方法会阻塞,直到任务返回结果(Future简介)。Future声明如下:

* @see FutureTask
 * @see Executor
 * @since 1.5
 * @author Doug Lea
 * @param <V> The result type returned by this Future's {@code get} method
 */
public interface Future<V> {

    /**
     * Attempts to cancel execution of this task.  This attempt will
     * fail if the task has already completed, has already been cancelled,
     * or could not be cancelled for some other reason. If successful,
     * and this task has not started when {@code cancel} is called,
     * this task should never run.  If the task has already started,
     * then the {@code mayInterruptIfRunning} parameter determines
     * whether the thread executing this task should be interrupted in
     * an attempt to stop the task.
     *
     * <p>After this method returns, subsequent calls to {@link #isDone} will
     * always return {@code true}.  Subsequent calls to {@link #isCancelled}
     * will always return {@code true} if this method returned {@code true}.
     *
     * @param mayInterruptIfRunning {@code true} if the thread executing this
     * task should be interrupted; otherwise, in-progress tasks are allowed
     * to complete
     * @return {@code false} if the task could not be cancelled,
     * typically because it has already completed normally;
     * {@code true} otherwise
     */
    boolean cancel(boolean mayInterruptIfRunning);

    /**
     * Returns {@code true} if this task was cancelled before it completed
     * normally.
     *
     * @return {@code true} if this task was cancelled before it completed
     */
    boolean isCancelled();

    /**
     * Returns {@code true} if this task completed.
     *
     * Completion may be due to normal termination, an exception, or
     * cancellation -- in all of these cases, this method will return
     * {@code true}.
     *
     * @return {@code true} if this task completed
     */
    boolean isDone();

    /**
     * Waits if necessary for the computation to complete, and then
     * retrieves its result.
     *
     * @return the computed result
     * @throws CancellationException if the computation was cancelled
     * @throws ExecutionException if the computation threw an
     * exception
     * @throws InterruptedException if the current thread was interrupted
     * while waiting
     */
    V get() throws InterruptedException, ExecutionException;

    /**
     * Waits if necessary for at most the given time for the computation
     * to complete, and then retrieves its result, if available.
     *
     * @param timeout the maximum time to wait
     * @param unit the time unit of the timeout argument
     * @return the computed result
     * @throws CancellationException if the computation was cancelled
     * @throws ExecutionException if the computation threw an
     * exception
     * @throws InterruptedException if the current thread was interrupted
     * while waiting
     * @throws TimeoutException if the wait timed out
     */
    V get(long timeout, TimeUnit unit)
        throws InterruptedException, ExecutionException, TimeoutException;
}
 
FutureTask 
 FutureTask则是一个RunnableFuture< V>,而RunnableFuture实现了Runnbale又实现了Futrue< V>这两个接口:
public class FutureTask<V> implements RunnableFuture<V> {
......
}
RunnableFuture
/**
 * A {@link Future} that is {@link Runnable}. Successful execution of
 * the {@code run} method causes completion of the {@code Future}
 * and allows access to its results.
 * @see FutureTask
 * @see Executor
 * @since 1.6
 * @author Doug Lea
 * @param <V> The result type returned by this Future's {@code get} method
 */
public interface RunnableFuture<V> extends Runnable, Future<V> {
    /**
     * Sets this Future to the result of its computation
     * unless it has been cancelled.
     */
    void run();
}
另外FutureTask还可以包装Runnable和Callable< V>, 由构造函数注入依赖。
/**
     * Creates a {@code FutureTask} that will, upon running, execute the
     * given {@code Callable}.
     *
     * @param  callable the callable task
     * @throws NullPointerException if the callable is null
     */
    public FutureTask(Callable<V> callable) {
        if (callable == null)
            throw new NullPointerException();
        this.callable = callable;
        this.state = NEW;       // ensure visibility of callable
    }

    /**
     * Creates a {@code FutureTask} that will, upon running, execute the
     * given {@code Runnable}, and arrange that {@code get} will return the
     * given result on successful completion.
     *
     * @param runnable the runnable task
     * @param result the result to return on successful completion. If
     * you don't need a particular result, consider using
     * constructions of the form:
     * {@code Future<?> f = new FutureTask<Void>(runnable, null)}
     * @throws NullPointerException if the runnable is null
     */
    public FutureTask(Runnable runnable, V result) {
        this.callable = Executors.callable(runnable, result);
        this.state = NEW;       // ensure visibility of callable
    }
 
可以看到,Runnable注入会被Executors.callable()函数转换为Callable类型,即FutureTask最终都是执行Callable类型的任务。该适配函数的实现如下 :
/**
     * Returns a {@link Callable} object that, when
     * called, runs the given task and returns the given result.  This
     * can be useful when applying methods requiring a
     * {@code Callable} to an otherwise resultless action.
     * @param task the task to run
     * @param result the result to return
     * @param <T> the type of the result
     * @return a callable object
     * @throws NullPointerException if task null
     */
    public static <T> Callable<T> callable(Runnable task, T result) {
        if (task == null)
            throw new NullPointerException();
        return new RunnableAdapter<T>(task, result);
    }
 
RunnableAdapter适配器
 /**
     * A callable that runs given task and returns given result
     */
    static final class RunnableAdapter<T> implements Callable<T> {
        final Runnable task;
        final T result;
        RunnableAdapter(Runnable task, T result) {
            this.task = task;
            this.result = result;
        }
        public T call() {
            task.run();
            return result;
        }
    }
 
由于FutureTask实现了Runnable,因此它既可以通过Thread包装来直接执行,也可以提交给ExecuteService来执行。并且还可以直接通过get()函数获取执行结果,该函数会阻塞,直到结果返回。

因此FutureTask既是Future、Runnable,又是包装了Callable(如果是Runnable最终也会被转换为Callable ), 它是这两者的合体。

}

CompletionService

《Java并发编程实践》中关于CompletionService的描述如下:

如果向Executor提交了一组计算任务,并且希望在计算完成后获得结果,那么可以保留与每个任务关联的Future,然后反复使用get方法,同时将参数timeout指定为0,从而通过轮询来判断任务是否完成。这种方法虽然可行,但却有些繁琐。幸运的是,还有一种更好的方法:完成服务CompletionService。

CompleteService接口是为了方便多个任务执行时,可以方便得获取到执行任务的Future结果。接口内容如下:

public interface CompletionService<V> {
    Future<V> submit(Callable<V> task);
    Future<V> submit(Runnable task, V result);
    Future<V> take() throws InterruptedException;
    Future<V> poll();
    Future<V> poll(long timeout, TimeUnit unit) throws InterruptedException;
}
这五个方法分为两大方面。一个是对Callable和Runnable类型参数的任务提交,另一方面则是尝试对结果以不同的方式进行获取,take()方法一般是阻塞式的获取,后两者则更灵活。

通常来讲,CompleteService是要和Executor结合在一起使用的。

ExecutorCompletionService

在JDK中,ExecutorCompletionService是CompletionService接口的唯一实现类。
这个实现类主要做的事就是将执行完成的任务结果放到阻塞队列中,这样等待结果的线程,如果执行take()方法会得到结果并恢复执行。

ExecutorCompletionService有3个属性:

  • AbstractExecutorService类的对象aes
  • Executor类的对象executor
  • BlockingQueue<Future<V>>的completionQueue

通常,如果executor是AbstractExecutorService的一个实现,则将其赋值给aes属性,否则赋值为null。

在这个类中,executor负责执行任务,而aes则负责做适配处理,返回包装好任务的FutureTask对象。

这里面有一个对于实现功能很重要的内部类QueueingFuture,实现如下:

/**
  * FutureTask extension to enqueue upon completion
  */
 private class QueueingFuture extends FutureTask<Void> {
     QueueingFuture(RunnableFuture<V> task) {
         super(task, null);
         this.task = task;
     }
     protected void done() { completionQueue.add(task); }
     private final Future<V> task;
 }
 

下面我们通过例子来体验下CompletionService的好处与使用场景。

首先定义一个实现了Callable接口的Task类:

private static class Task implements Callable<String>{  

        private volatile int i;  

        public Task(int i){  
            this.i = i;  
        }  

        @Override  
        public String call() throws Exception {  
            Thread.sleep(1000);  
            System.out.println(Thread.currentThread().getName());  
            return "任务 : " + i;  
        }  

    }
1)自己维护一个list保存submit的callable task所返回的Future对象。在主线程中遍历集合并调用Future的get()方法取到Task的返回值。如下代码所示:
public static void testFuture() throws InterruptedException, ExecutionException {  
        System.out.println("main Thread begin:");  
        ExecutorService executor = Executors.newCachedThreadPool();  
        List<Future<String>> result = new ArrayList<Future<String>>();  
        for (int i = 0;i<10;i++) {  
            Future<String> submit = executor.submit(new Task(i));  
            result.add(submit);  
        }  
        executor.shutdown();  
        for (int i = 0;i<10;i++) {//一个一个等待返回结果  
            System.out.println(result.get(i).get());  
        }  
        System.out.println("main Thread end:");  
    }

输出结果如下:

main Thread begin:
pool-1-thread-2
pool-1-thread-1
pool-1-thread-3
任务 : 0
任务 : 1
任务 : 2
pool-1-thread-10
pool-1-thread-6
pool-1-thread-9
pool-1-thread-8
pool-1-thread-7
pool-1-thread-4
pool-1-thread-5
任务 : 3
任务 : 4
任务 : 5
任务 : 6
任务 : 7
任务 : 8
任务 : 9
main Thread end:

从输出结果可以看出,我们只能一个一个阻塞的取出。这中间肯定会浪费一定的时间在等待上。如5返回了,但是前面的1-4都没有返回,那么5就得等1-4输出才能输出。

2)通过CompletionService包装ExecutorService,然后调用其take()方法去取Future对象。如下代码所示:

private static void testCompletionService() throws InterruptedException, ExecutionException {
        System.out.println("main Thread begin:");  
        ExecutorService executor = Executors.newCachedThreadPool();
        ExecutorCompletionService<String> completionService = new ExecutorCompletionService<>(executor);
        for(int i=0;i<10;i++){  
            completionService.submit(new Task(i));  
        }
        executor.shutdown();
        for(int i=0;i<10;i++){  
            System.out.println(completionService.take().get());  
        }
        System.out.println("main Thread end:");  
    }
 
 

输出结果如下:

main Thread begin:
pool-1-thread-9
pool-1-thread-7
pool-1-thread-5
pool-1-thread-6
pool-1-thread-3
pool-1-thread-4
任务 : 8
任务 : 5
任务 : 4
任务 : 6
pool-1-thread-2
pool-1-thread-10
pool-1-thread-1
pool-1-thread-8
任务 : 2
任务 : 3
任务 : 1
任务 : 9
任务 : 0
任务 : 7
main Thread end:
 
 
  • 可以看出,结果的输出和线程的放入顺序无关系。每一个线程执行成功后,立刻就输出。如5返回了,不管前面的1-4有没有返回,5马上输出,不管它们加入线程池的顺序,从而节省时间。
总结
  1. 自己创建一个集合来保存Future存根并循环调用其返回结果的时候,主线程并不能保证首先获得的是最先完成任务的线程返回值。它只是按加入线程池的顺序返回。因为take方法是阻塞方法,后面的任务完成了,前面的任务却没有完成,主程序就那样等待在那儿,只到前面的完成了,它才知道原来后面的也完成了。
  2. 使用CompletionService来维护处理线程的返回结果时,主线程总是能够拿到最先完成的任务的返回值,而不管它们加入线程池的顺序。
  3. CompletionService的实现是维护了一个保存Future的BlockingQueque。只有当这个Future的任务状态是结束的时候,才会加入到这个Queque中,take()方法其实就是Producer-Consumer中的Consumer。它会从Queue中取出Future对象,如果Queue是空的,就会阻塞在那里,直到有完成的Future对象加入到Queue中。也就是先完成的必定先被取出,这样就减少了不必要的等待时间。
