Class LinkedTransferQueue<E>

  • Type Parameters:
    E - the type of elements held in this collection
    All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable, Iterable<E>, Collection<E>, BlockingQueue<E>, TransferQueue<E>, Queue<E> 

    public class LinkedTransferQueue<E>
extends AbstractQueue<E>
implements TransferQueue<E>, Serializable
    An unbounded TransferQueue based on linked nodes. This queue orders elements FIFO (first-in-first-out) with respect to any given producer. The head of the queue is that element that has been on the queue the longest time for some producer. The tail of the queue is that element that has been on the queue the shortest time for some producer.

    Beware that, unlike in most collections, the size method is NOT a constant-time operation. Because of the asynchronous nature of these queues, determining the current number of elements requires a traversal of the elements, and so may report inaccurate results if this collection is modified during traversal. Additionally, the bulk operations addAll, removeAll, retainAll, containsAll, equals, and toArray are not guaranteed to be performed atomically. For example, an iterator operating concurrently with an addAll operation might view only some of the added elements.

    This class and its iterator implement all of the optional methods of the Collection and Iterator interfaces.

    Memory consistency effects: As with other concurrent collections, actions in a thread prior to placing an object into a LinkedTransferQueue happen-before actions subsequent to the access or removal of that element from the LinkedTransferQueue in another thread.

    This class is a member of the Java Collections Framework.

        public int drainTo(Collection<? super E> c)
        Description copied from interface: BlockingQueue
        Removes all available elements from this queue and adds them to the given collection. This operation may be more efficient than repeatedly polling this queue. A failure encountered while attempting to add elements to collection c may result in elements being in neither, either or both collections when the associated exception is thrown. Attempts to drain a queue to itself result in IllegalArgumentException. Further, the behavior of this operation is undefined if the specified collection is modified while the operation is in progress.
        Specified by:

        Parameters:
        c - the collection to transfer elements into
        Returns:
        the number of elements transferred
        Throws:
        NullPointerException - if the specified collection is null
        IllegalArgumentException - if the specified collection is this queue, or some property of an element of this queue prevents it from being added to the specified collection

      • drainTo

        public int drainTo(Collection<? super E> c,
                   int maxElements)
        Description copied from interface: BlockingQueue
        Removes at most the given number of available elements from this queue and adds them to the given collection. A failure encountered while attempting to add elements to collection c may result in elements being in neither, either or both collections when the associated exception is thrown. Attempts to drain a queue to itself result in IllegalArgumentException. Further, the behavior of this operation is undefined if the specified collection is modified while the operation is in progress.
        Specified by:
        drainTo in interface  BlockingQueue<E>
        Parameters:
        c - the collection to transfer elements into
        maxElements - the maximum number of elements to transfer
        Returns:
        the number of elements transferred
        Throws:
        NullPointerException - if the specified collection is null
        IllegalArgumentException - if the specified collection is this queue, or some property of an element of this queue prevents it from being added to the specified collection

      • iterator

        public Iterator<E> iterator()
        Returns an iterator over the elements in this queue in proper sequence. The elements will be returned in order from first (head) to last (tail).

        The returned iterator is weakly consistent.

        Specified by:
        iterator in interface  Iterable<E>
        Specified by:
        iterator in interface  Collection<E>
        Specified by:
        iterator in class  AbstractCollection<E>
        Returns:
        an iterator over the elements in this queue in proper sequence

      • peek

        public E peek()
        Description copied from interface: Queue
        Retrieves, but does not remove, the head of this queue, or returns null if this queue is empty.
        Specified by:
        peek in interface  Queue<E>
        Returns:
        the head of this queue, or null if this queue is empty

      • isEmpty

        public boolean isEmpty()
        Returns true if this queue contains no elements.
        Specified by:
        isEmpty in interface  Collection<E>
        Overrides:
        isEmpty in class  AbstractCollection<E>
        Returns:
        true if this queue contains no elements

      • hasWaitingConsumer

        public boolean hasWaitingConsumer()
        Description copied from interface: TransferQueue
        Returns true if there is at least one consumer waiting to receive an element via BlockingQueue.take() or timed poll. The return value represents a momentary state of affairs.
        Specified by:
        hasWaitingConsumer in interface  TransferQueue<E>
        Returns:
        true if there is at least one waiting consumer

      • size

        public int size()
        Returns the number of elements in this queue. If this queue contains more than Integer.MAX_VALUE elements, returns Integer.MAX_VALUE.

        Beware that, unlike in most collections, this method is NOT a constant-time operation. Because of the asynchronous nature of these queues, determining the current number of elements requires an O(n) traversal.

        Specified by:
        size in interface  Collection<E>
        Specified by:
        size in class  AbstractCollection<E>
        Returns:
        the number of elements in this queue

      • getWaitingConsumerCount

        public int getWaitingConsumerCount()
        Description copied from interface: TransferQueue
        Returns an estimate of the number of consumers waiting to receive elements via BlockingQueue.take() or timed 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 TransferQueue.hasWaitingConsumer().
        Specified by:
        getWaitingConsumerCount in interface  TransferQueue<E>
        Returns:
        the number of consumers waiting to receive elements

      • remove

        public boolean remove(Object o)
        Removes a single instance of the specified element from this queue, if it is present. More formally, removes an element e such that o.equals(e), if this queue contains one or more such elements. Returns true if this queue contained the specified element (or equivalently, if this queue changed as a result of the call).
        Specified by:
        remove in interface  Collection<E>
        Specified by:
        remove in interface  BlockingQueue<E>
        Overrides:

        Parameters:
        o - element to be removed from this queue, if present
        Returns:
        true if this queue changed as a result of the call

      • contains

        public boolean contains(Object o)
        Returns true if this queue contains the specified element. More formally, returns true if and only if this queue contains at least one element e such that o.equals(e).
        Specified by:
        contains in interface  Collection<E>
        Specified by:
        contains in interface  BlockingQueue<E>
