ForkJoinWorkerThread

public class ForkJoinWorkerThread
extends Thread

java.lang.Object
   ↳ java.lang.Thread
     ↳ java.util.concurrent.ForkJoinWorkerThread


A thread managed by a ForkJoinPool, which executes ForkJoinTasks. This class is subclassable solely for the sake of adding functionality -- there are no overridable methods dealing with scheduling or execution. However, you can override initialization and termination methods surrounding the main task processing loop. If you do create such a subclass, you will also need to supply a custom ForkJoinPool.ForkJoinWorkerThreadFactory to use it in a ForkJoinPool.

Summary

Inherited constants

Protected constructors

ForkJoinWorkerThread(ForkJoinPool pool)

Creates a ForkJoinWorkerThread operating in the given pool.

Public methods

ForkJoinPool getPool()

Returns the pool hosting this thread.

int getPoolIndex()

Returns the unique index number of this thread in its pool.

void run()

This method is required to be public, but should never be called explicitly.

Protected methods

void onStart()

Initializes internal state after construction but before processing any tasks.

void onTermination(Throwable exception)

Performs cleanup associated with termination of this worker thread.

ForkJoinWorkerThread

Added in API level 21
protected ForkJoinWorkerThread (ForkJoinPool pool)

Creates a ForkJoinWorkerThread operating in the given pool.

Parameters
pool ForkJoinPool: the pool this thread works in

Throws
NullPointerException if pool is null

Public methods

getPool

Added in API level 21
public ForkJoinPool getPool ()

Returns the pool hosting this thread.

Returns
ForkJoinPool the pool

getPoolIndex

Added in API level 21
public int getPoolIndex ()

Returns the unique index number of this thread in its pool. The returned value ranges from zero to the maximum number of threads (minus one) that may exist in the pool, and does not change during the lifetime of the thread. This method may be useful for applications that track status or collect results per-worker-thread rather than per-task.

Returns
int the index number

run

Added in API level 21
public void run ()

This method is required to be public, but should never be called explicitly. It performs the main run loop to execute ForkJoinTasks.

Protected methods

onStart

Added in API level 21
protected void onStart ()

Initializes internal state after construction but before processing any tasks. If you override this method, you must invoke super.onStart() at the beginning of the method. Initialization requires care: Most fields must have legal default values, to ensure that attempted accesses from other threads work correctly even before this thread starts processing tasks.

onTermination

Added in API level 21
protected void onTermination (Throwable exception)

Performs cleanup associated with termination of this worker thread. If you override this method, you must invoke super.onTermination at the end of the overridden method.

Parameters
exception Throwable: the exception causing this thread to abort due to an unrecoverable error, or null if completed normally
