Grizzly NIO 5.0.2 · org.glassfish.grizzly.utils.TransferQueue

A BlockingQueue in which producers may wait for consumers to receive elements. A TransferQueue may be useful for example in message passing applications in which producers sometimes (using method transfer) await receipt of elements by consumers invoking take or poll, while at other times enqueue elements (via method put) without waiting for receipt. Non-blocking and time-out versions of tryTransfer are also available. A TransferQueue may also be queried via hasWaitingConsumer whether there are any threads waiting for items, which is a converse analogy to a peek operation.

Like any BlockingQueue, a TransferQueue may be capacity bounded. If so, an attempted transfer operation may initially block waiting for available space, and/or subsequently block waiting for reception by a consumer. Note that in a queue with zero capacity, such as SynchronousQueue, put and transfer are effectively synonymous.

This interface is a member of the Java Collections Framework.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
public int	Returns: the number of consumers waiting to dequeue elements getWaitingConsumerCount() Returns an estimate of the number of consumers waiting to dequeue elements via `take` or `poll`.
public boolean	Returns: `true` if there is at least one waiting consumer hasWaitingConsumer() Returns `true` if there is at least one consumer waiting to dequeue an element via `take` or `poll`.
public void	transfer(E the element to transfer e) Inserts the specified element into this queue, waiting if necessary for space to become available and the element to be dequeued by a consumer invoking `take` or `poll`.
public boolean	Returns: `true` if the element was transferred, else `false` tryTransfer(E the element to transfer e) Transfers the specified element if there exists a consumer already waiting to receive it, otherwise returning `false` without enqueuing the element.
public boolean	Returns: `true` if successful, or `false` if the specified waiting time elapses before completion, in which case the element is not enqueued. tryTransfer(E the element to transfer e, long how long to wait before giving up, in units of `unit` timeout, TimeUnit a `TimeUnit` determining how to interpret the `timeout` parameter unit) Inserts the specified element into this queue, waiting up to the specified wait time if necessary for space to become available and the element to be dequeued by a consumer invoking `take` or `poll`.

Method Detail

getWaitingConsumerCount back to summary

getWaitingConsumerCount	back to summary
public int getWaitingConsumerCount() Returns an estimate of the number of consumers waiting to dequeue elements via `take` or `poll`. The return value is an approximation of a momentary state of affairs, that may be inaccurate if consumers have completed or given up waiting. The value may be useful for monitoring and heuristics, but not for synchronization control. Implementations of this method are likely to be noticeably slower than those for `hasWaitingConsumer`. Returns:int the number of consumers waiting to dequeue elements

public int getWaitingConsumerCount()

Returns an estimate of the number of consumers waiting to dequeue elements via take or poll. The return value is an approximation of a momentary state of affairs, that may be inaccurate if consumers have completed or given up waiting. The value may be useful for monitoring and heuristics, but not for synchronization control. Implementations of this method are likely to be noticeably slower than those for hasWaitingConsumer.

Returns:int: the number of consumers waiting to dequeue elements

hasWaitingConsumer back to summary

hasWaitingConsumer	back to summary
public boolean hasWaitingConsumer() Returns `true` if there is at least one consumer waiting to dequeue an element via `take` or `poll`. The return value represents a momentary state of affairs. Returns:boolean `true` if there is at least one waiting consumer

public boolean hasWaitingConsumer()

Returns true if there is at least one consumer waiting to dequeue an element via take or poll. The return value represents a momentary state of affairs.

Returns:boolean: true if there is at least one waiting consumer

tryTransfer back to summary

tryTransfer	back to summary
public boolean tryTransfer(E e, long timeout, TimeUnit unit) throws InterruptedException Inserts the specified element into this queue, waiting up to the specified wait time if necessary for space to become available and the element to be dequeued by a consumer invoking `take` or `poll`. Parameters e:E the element to transfer timeout:long how long to wait before giving up, in units of `unit` unit:TimeUnit a `TimeUnit` determining how to interpret the `timeout` parameter Returns:boolean `true` if successful, or `false` if the specified waiting time elapses before completion, in which case the element is not enqueued.
