@Beta public abstract class AbstractScheduledService extends Objectimplements Service
startUp() and
shutDown() but while in the "running" state need to perform a periodic task. Subclasses can implement
startUp(),
shutDown() and also a
runOneIteration() method that will be executed periodically.
This class uses the ScheduledExecutorService returned from executor() to run the startUp() and shutDown() methods and also uses that service to schedule the runOneIteration() that will be executed periodically as specified by its AbstractScheduledService.Scheduler. When this service is asked to stop via stopAsync() it will cancel the periodic task (but not interrupt it) and wait for it to stop before running the shutDown() method.
Subclasses are guaranteed that the life cycle methods (runOneIteration(), startUp() and shutDown()) will never run concurrently. Notably, if any execution of runOneIteration() takes longer than its schedule defines, then subsequent executions may start late. Also, all life cycle methods are executed with a lock held, so subclasses can safely modify shared state without additional synchronization necessary for visibility to later executions of the life cycle methods.
Here is a sketch of a service which crawls a website and uses the scheduling capabilities to rate limit itself.
class CrawlingService extends AbstractScheduledService { private Set<Uri> visited; private Queue<Uri> toCrawl; protected void startUp() throws Exception { toCrawl = readStartingUris(); } protected void runOneIteration() throws Exception { Uri uri = toCrawl.remove(); Collection<Uri> newUris = crawl(uri); visited.add(uri); for (Uri newUri : newUris) { if (!visited.contains(newUri)) { toCrawl.add(newUri); } } } protected void shutDown() throws Exception { saveUris(toCrawl); } protected Scheduler scheduler() { return Scheduler.newFixedRateSchedule(0, 1, TimeUnit.SECONDS); } }
This class uses the life cycle methods to read in a list of starting URIs and save the set of outstanding URIs when shutting down. Also, it takes advantage of the scheduling functionality to rate limit the number of queries we perform.

Returns the
ScheduledExecutorService that will be used to execute the
startUp(),
runOneIteration() and
shutDown() methods.

Returns the
Throwable that caused this service to fail.

Stop the service.

If the service state is
Service, this initiates service startup and returns immediately.

By default this method does nothing.

protected abstract AbstractScheduledService.Scheduler scheduler()
AbstractScheduledService.Scheduler object used to configure this service. This method will only be called once.
protected ScheduledExecutorServiceexecutor()
ScheduledExecutorService that will be used to execute the
startUp(),
runOneIteration() and
shutDown() methods. If this method is overridden the executor will not be
shutdown when this service
terminates or
fails. Subclasses may override this method to supply a custom
ScheduledExecutorService instance. This method is guaranteed to only be called once.
By default this returns a new ScheduledExecutorService with a single thread thread pool that sets the name of the thread to the service name. Also, the pool will be shut down when the service terminates or fails.
protected StringserviceName()
AbstractScheduledService may include the name in debugging output.

public final boolean isRunning()
Service
true if this service is
running.
public final Service.State state()
Service
public final void addListener(Service.Listener listener, Executor executor)
Service
Service.Listener to be
executed on the given executor. The listener will have the corresponding transition method called whenever the service changes state. The listener will not have previous state changes replayed, so it is suggested that listeners are added before the service starts.
addListener guarantees execution ordering across calls to a given listener but not across calls to multiple listeners. Specifically, a given listener will have its callbacks invoked in the same order as the underlying service enters those states. Additionally, at most one of the listener's callbacks will execute at once. However, multiple listeners' callbacks may execute concurrently, and listeners may execute in an order different from the one in which they were registered.
RuntimeExceptions thrown by a listener will be caught and logged. Any exception thrown during Executor.execute (e.g., a RejectedExecutionException) will be caught and logged.
addListener in interface
Service
listener - the listener to run when the service changes state is complete
executor - the executor in which the listeners callback methods will be run. For fast, lightweight listeners that would be safe to execute in any thread, consider
MoreExecutors.directExecutor() .

Service
Throwable that caused this service to fail.
