Method Detail

### getExitingExecutorService

    @Beta
    public static ExecutorService getExitingExecutorService(ThreadPoolExecutor executor,
                                                                 long terminationTimeout,
                                                                 TimeUnit timeUnit)

  Converts the given ThreadPoolExecutor into an ExecutorService that exits when the application is complete. It does so by using daemon threads and adding a shutdown hook to wait for their completion.

  This is mainly for fixed thread pools. See `Executors.newFixedThreadPool(int)`.

  Parameters:
    `executor` - the executor to modify to make sure it exits when the application is finished
    `terminationTimeout` - how long to wait for the executor to finish before terminating the JVM
    `timeUnit` - unit of time for the time parameter
  Returns:
    an unmodifiable version of the input which will not hang the JVM

### getExitingScheduledExecutorService

    @Beta
    public static ScheduledExecutorService getExitingScheduledExecutorService(ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor executor,
                                                                                   long terminationTimeout,
                                                                                   TimeUnit timeUnit)

  Converts the given ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor into a ScheduledExecutorService that exits when the application is complete. It does so by using daemon threads and adding a shutdown hook to wait for their completion.

  This is mainly for fixed thread pools. See `Executors.newScheduledThreadPool(int)`.

  Parameters:
    `executor` - the executor to modify to make sure it exits when the application is finished
    `terminationTimeout` - how long to wait for the executor to finish before terminating the JVM
    `timeUnit` - unit of time for the time parameter
  Returns:
    an unmodifiable version of the input which will not hang the JVM

### addDelayedShutdownHook

    @Beta
    public static void addDelayedShutdownHook(ExecutorService service,
                                                   long terminationTimeout,
                                                   TimeUnit timeUnit)

  Add a shutdown hook to wait for thread completion in the given `service`. This is useful if the given service uses daemon threads, and we want to keep the JVM from exiting immediately on shutdown, instead giving these daemon threads a chance to terminate normally.

  Parameters:
    `service` - ExecutorService which uses daemon threads
    `terminationTimeout` - how long to wait for the executor to finish before terminating the JVM
    `timeUnit` - unit of time for the time parameter

### getExitingExecutorService

    @Beta
    public static ExecutorService getExitingExecutorService(ThreadPoolExecutor executor)

  Converts the given ThreadPoolExecutor into an ExecutorService that exits when the application is complete. It does so by using daemon threads and adding a shutdown hook to wait for their completion.

  This method waits 120 seconds before continuing with JVM termination, even if the executor has not finished its work.

  This is mainly for fixed thread pools. See `Executors.newFixedThreadPool(int)`.

  Parameters:
    `executor` - the executor to modify to make sure it exits when the application is finished
  Returns:
    an unmodifiable version of the input which will not hang the JVM

### getExitingScheduledExecutorService

    @Beta
    public static ScheduledExecutorService getExitingScheduledExecutorService(ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor executor)

  Converts the given ThreadPoolExecutor into a ScheduledExecutorService that exits when the application is complete. It does so by using daemon threads and adding a shutdown hook to wait for their completion.

  This method waits 120 seconds before continuing with JVM termination, even if the executor has not finished its work.

  This is mainly for fixed thread pools. See `Executors.newScheduledThreadPool(int)`.

  Parameters:
    `executor` - the executor to modify to make sure it exits when the application is finished
  Returns:
    an unmodifiable version of the input which will not hang the JVM

### sameThreadExecutor

    public static ListeningExecutorService sameThreadExecutor()

  Creates an executor service that runs each task in the thread that invokes `execute/submit`, as in `ThreadPoolExecutor.CallerRunsPolicy` This applies both to individually submitted tasks and to collections of tasks submitted via `invokeAll` or `invokeAny`. In the latter case, tasks will run serially on the calling thread. Tasks are run to completion before a `Future` is returned to the caller (unless the executor has been shutdown).

  Although all tasks are immediately executed in the thread that submitted the task, this `ExecutorService` imposes a small locking overhead on each task submission in order to implement shutdown and termination behavior.

  The implementation deviates from the `ExecutorService` specification with regards to the `shutdownNow` method. First, "best-effort" with regards to canceling running tasks is implemented as "no-effort". No interrupts or other attempts are made to stop threads executing tasks. Second, the returned list will always be empty, as any submitted task is considered to have started execution. This applies also to tasks given to `invokeAll` or `invokeAny` which are pending serial execution, even the subset of the tasks that have not yet started execution. It is unclear from the `ExecutorService` specification if these should be included, and it's much easier to implement the interpretation that they not be. Finally, a call to `shutdown` or `shutdownNow` may result in concurrent calls to `invokeAll/invokeAny` throwing RejectedExecutionException, although a subset of the tasks may already have been executed.

### listeningDecorator

    public static ListeningExecutorService listeningDecorator(ExecutorService delegate)

  Creates an `ExecutorService` whose `submit` and `invokeAll` methods submit `ListenableFutureTask` instances to the given delegate executor. Those methods, as well as `execute` and `invokeAny`, are implemented in terms of calls to `delegate.execute`. All other methods are forwarded unchanged to the delegate. This implies that the returned `ListeningExecutorService` never calls the delegate's `submit`, `invokeAll`, and `invokeAny` methods, so any special handling of tasks must be implemented in the delegate's `execute` method or by wrapping the returned `ListeningExecutorService`.

  If the delegate executor was already an instance of `ListeningExecutorService`, it is returned untouched, and the rest of this documentation does not apply.

  Since:
    10.0

### listeningDecorator

    public static ListeningScheduledExecutorService listeningDecorator(ScheduledExecutorService delegate)

  Creates a `ScheduledExecutorService` whose `submit` and `invokeAll` methods submit `ListenableFutureTask` instances to the given delegate executor. Those methods, as well as `execute` and `invokeAny`, are implemented in terms of calls to `delegate.execute`. All other methods are forwarded unchanged to the delegate. This implies that the returned `SchedulingListeningExecutorService` never calls the delegate's `submit`, `invokeAll`, and `invokeAny` methods, so any special handling of tasks must be implemented in the delegate's `execute` method or by wrapping the returned `SchedulingListeningExecutorService`.

  If the delegate executor was already an instance of `ListeningScheduledExecutorService`, it is returned untouched, and the rest of this documentation does not apply.
