Callable & Future

我们知道创建一个线程可以通过实现Runnable接口和继承Thread类，并重写run方法。但是run方法是不带返回的。

而Callable接口同样是用于多线程，并能返回一个Future

ExecutorService exe = Executors.newFixedThreadPool(2);
		Future<String> future =exe.submit(new Callable<String>() {//submit返回Future
			@Override
			public String call() throws Exception {
				Thread.sleep(10000);
				return "hello";
			}
		});
		try {
			System.out.println("return data="+future.get());//get return data from Future.
//			System.out.println(future.get(2, TimeUnit.SECONDS));// set timeout to get return data. if timeout, TimeoutException thrown
		} catch (InterruptedException e) {
			// TODO Auto-generated catch block
			e.printStackTrace();
		} catch (Exception e) {
			// TODO Auto-generated catch block
			e.printStackTrace();
		}
