ForkJoinPool

public class ForkJoinPool
extends AbstractExecutorService

java.lang.Object
↳	java.util.concurrent.AbstractExecutorService
	↳	java.util.concurrent.ForkJoinPool

An ExecutorService for running ForkJoinTasks. A ForkJoinPool provides the entry point for submissions from non-ForkJoinTask clients, as well as management and monitoring operations.

A ForkJoinPool differs from other kinds of ExecutorService mainly by virtue of employing work-stealing: all threads in the pool attempt to find and execute tasks submitted to the pool and/or created by other active tasks (eventually blocking waiting for work if none exist). This enables efficient processing when most tasks spawn other subtasks (as do most ForkJoinTasks), as well as when many small tasks are submitted to the pool from external clients. Especially when setting asyncMode to true in constructors, ForkJoinPools may also be appropriate for use with event-style tasks that are never joined. All worker threads are initialized with Thread#isDaemon set true.

A static commonPool() is available and appropriate for most applications. The common pool is used by any ForkJoinTask that is not explicitly submitted to a specified pool. Using the common pool normally reduces resource usage (its threads are slowly reclaimed during periods of non-use, and reinstated upon subsequent use).

For applications that require separate or custom pools, a ForkJoinPool may be constructed with a given target parallelism level; by default, equal to the number of available processors. The pool attempts to maintain enough active (or available) threads by dynamically adding, suspending, or resuming internal worker threads, even if some tasks are stalled waiting to join others. However, no such adjustments are guaranteed in the face of blocked I/O or other unmanaged synchronization. The nested ManagedBlocker interface enables extension of the kinds of synchronization accommodated. The default policies may be overridden using a constructor with parameters corresponding to those documented in class ThreadPoolExecutor.

In addition to execution and lifecycle control methods, this class provides status check methods (for example getStealCount()) that are intended to aid in developing, tuning, and monitoring fork/join applications. Also, method toString() returns indications of pool state in a convenient form for informal monitoring.

As is the case with other ExecutorServices, there are three main task execution methods summarized in the following table. These are designed to be used primarily by clients not already engaged in fork/join computations in the current pool. The main forms of these methods accept instances of ForkJoinTask, but overloaded forms also allow mixed execution of plain Runnable- or Callable- based activities as well. However, tasks that are already executing in a pool should normally instead use the within-computation forms listed in the table unless using async event-style tasks that are not usually joined, in which case there is little difference among choice of methods.

Summary of task execution methods
	Call from non-fork/join clients	Call from within fork/join computations
Arrange async execution	`execute(java.util.concurrent.ForkJoinTask)`	`ForkJoinTask#fork`
Await and obtain result	`invoke(java.util.concurrent.ForkJoinTask)`	`ForkJoinTask#invoke`
Arrange exec and obtain Future	`submit(java.util.concurrent.ForkJoinTask)`	`ForkJoinTask#fork` (ForkJoinTasks are Futures)

The parameters used to construct the common pool may be controlled by setting the following system properties:

java.util.concurrent.ForkJoinPool.common.parallelism - the parallelism level, a non-negative integer
java.util.concurrent.ForkJoinPool.common.threadFactory - the class name of a ForkJoinWorkerThreadFactory. The system class loader is used to load this class.
java.util.concurrent.ForkJoinPool.common.exceptionHandler - the class name of a UncaughtExceptionHandler. The system class loader is used to load this class.
java.util.concurrent.ForkJoinPool.common.maximumSpares - the maximum number of allowed extra threads to maintain target parallelism (default 256).

If no thread factory is supplied via a system property, then the common pool uses a factory that uses the system class loader as the thread context class loader. In addition, if a SecurityManager is present, then the common pool uses a factory supplying threads that have no Permissions enabled. Upon any error in establishing these settings, default parameters are used. It is possible to disable or limit the use of threads in the common pool by setting the parallelism property to zero, and/or using a factory that may return null. However doing so may cause unjoined tasks to never be executed.

Implementation notes: This implementation restricts the maximum number of running threads to 32767. Attempts to create pools with greater than the maximum number result in IllegalArgumentException.

This implementation rejects submitted tasks (that is, by throwing RejectedExecutionException) only when the pool is shut down or internal resources have been exhausted.

Added in API level 21

public ForkJoinPool ()

Creates a ForkJoinPool with parallelism equal to Runtime.availableProcessors(), using defaults for all other parameters (see ForkJoinPool(int, java.util.concurrent.ForkJoinPool.ForkJoinWorkerThreadFactory, java.lang.Thread.UncaughtExceptionHandler, boolean, int, int, int, java.util.function.Predicate, long, java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit)).

ForkJoinPool

Added in API level 21

public ForkJoinPool (int parallelism, 
                ForkJoinPool.ForkJoinWorkerThreadFactory factory, 
                Thread.UncaughtExceptionHandler handler, 
                boolean asyncMode)

Creates a ForkJoinPool with the given parameters (using defaults for others -- see ForkJoinPool(int, java.util.concurrent.ForkJoinPool.ForkJoinWorkerThreadFactory, java.lang.Thread.UncaughtExceptionHandler, boolean, int, int, int, java.util.function.Predicate, long, java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit)).

Parameters
`parallelism`	`int`: the parallelism level. For default value, use `Runtime.availableProcessors()`.
`factory`	`ForkJoinPool.ForkJoinWorkerThreadFactory`: the factory for creating new threads. For default value, use `defaultForkJoinWorkerThreadFactory`.
`handler`	`Thread.UncaughtExceptionHandler`: the handler for internal worker threads that terminate due to unrecoverable errors encountered while executing tasks. For default value, use `null`.
`asyncMode`	`boolean`: if true, establishes local first-in-first-out scheduling mode for forked tasks that are never joined. This mode may be more appropriate than default locally stack-based mode in applications in which worker threads only process event-style asynchronous tasks. For default value, use `false`.

Throws
`IllegalArgumentException`	if parallelism less than or equal to zero, or greater than implementation limit
`NullPointerException`	if the factory is null
`SecurityException`	if a security manager exists and the caller is not permitted to modify threads because it does not hold `RuntimePermission("modifyThread")`

ForkJoinPool

Added in API level 33

public ForkJoinPool (int parallelism, 
                ForkJoinPool.ForkJoinWorkerThreadFactory factory, 
                Thread.UncaughtExceptionHandler handler, 
                boolean asyncMode, 
                int corePoolSize, 
                int maximumPoolSize, 
                int minimumRunnable, 
                Predicate<? super ForkJoinPool> saturate, 
                long keepAliveTime, 
                TimeUnit unit)

Creates a ForkJoinPool with the given parameters.

Parameters
`parallelism`	`int`: the parallelism level. For default value, use `Runtime.availableProcessors()`.
`factory`	`ForkJoinPool.ForkJoinWorkerThreadFactory`: the factory for creating new threads. For default value, use `defaultForkJoinWorkerThreadFactory`.
`handler`	`Thread.UncaughtExceptionHandler`: the handler for internal worker threads that terminate due to unrecoverable errors encountered while executing tasks. For default value, use `null`.
`asyncMode`	`boolean`: if true, establishes local first-in-first-out scheduling mode for forked tasks that are never joined. This mode may be more appropriate than default locally stack-based mode in applications in which worker threads only process event-style asynchronous tasks. For default value, use `false`.
`corePoolSize`	`int`: the number of threads to keep in the pool (unless timed out after an elapsed keep-alive). Normally (and by default) this is the same value as the parallelism level, but may be set to a larger value to reduce dynamic overhead if tasks regularly block. Using a smaller value (for example `0`) has the same effect as the default.
`maximumPoolSize`	`int`: the maximum number of threads allowed. When the maximum is reached, attempts to replace blocked threads fail. (However, because creation and termination of different threads may overlap, and may be managed by the given thread factory, this value may be transiently exceeded.) To arrange the same value as is used by default for the common pool, use `256` plus the `parallelism` level. (By default, the common pool allows a maximum of 256 spare threads.) Using a value (for example `Integer.MAX_VALUE`) larger than the implementation's total thread limit has the same effect as using this limit (which is the default).
`minimumRunnable`	`int`: the minimum allowed number of core threads not blocked by a join or `ManagedBlocker`. To ensure progress, when too few unblocked threads exist and unexecuted tasks may exist, new threads are constructed, up to the given maximumPoolSize. For the default value, use `1`, that ensures liveness. A larger value might improve throughput in the presence of blocked activities, but might not, due to increased overhead. A value of zero may be acceptable when submitted tasks cannot have dependencies requiring additional threads.
`saturate`	`Predicate`: if non-null, a predicate invoked upon attempts to create more than the maximum total allowed threads. By default, when a thread is about to block on a join or `ManagedBlocker`, but cannot be replaced because the maximumPoolSize would be exceeded, a `RejectedExecutionException` is thrown. But if this predicate returns `true`, then no exception is thrown, so the pool continues to operate with fewer than the target number of runnable threads, which might not ensure progress.
`keepAliveTime`	`long`: the elapsed time since last use before a thread is terminated (and then later replaced if needed). For the default value, use `60, TimeUnit.SECONDS`.
`unit`	`TimeUnit`: the time unit for the `keepAliveTime` argument

Throws
`IllegalArgumentException`	if parallelism is less than or equal to zero, or is greater than implementation limit, or if maximumPoolSize is less than parallelism, of if the keepAliveTime is less than or equal to zero.
`NullPointerException`	if the factory is null
`SecurityException`	if a security manager exists and the caller is not permitted to modify threads because it does not hold `RuntimePermission("modifyThread")`

Public methods

awaitQuiescence

Added in API level 21

public boolean awaitQuiescence (long timeout, 
                TimeUnit unit)

If called by a ForkJoinTask operating in this pool, equivalent in effect to ForkJoinTask#helpQuiesce. Otherwise, waits and/or attempts to assist performing tasks until this pool isQuiescent() or the indicated timeout elapses.

Parameters
`timeout`	`long`: the maximum time to wait
`unit`	`TimeUnit`: the time unit of the timeout argument

Returns
`boolean`	`true` if quiescent; `false` if the timeout elapsed.

awaitTermination

Added in API level 21

public boolean awaitTermination (long timeout, 
                TimeUnit unit)

Blocks until all tasks have completed execution after a shutdown request, or the timeout occurs, or the current thread is interrupted, whichever happens first. Because the commonPool() never terminates until program shutdown, when applied to the common pool, this method is equivalent to awaitQuiescence(long, java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit) but always returns false.

Parameters
`timeout`	`long`: the maximum time to wait
`unit`	`TimeUnit`: the time unit of the timeout argument

Returns
`boolean`	`true` if this executor terminated and `false` if the timeout elapsed before termination

Throws
`InterruptedException`	if interrupted while waiting

commonPool

Added in API level 24

public static ForkJoinPool commonPool ()

Returns the common pool instance. This pool is statically constructed; its run state is unaffected by attempts to shutdown() or shutdownNow(). However this pool and any ongoing processing are automatically terminated upon program System#exit. Any program that relies on asynchronous task processing to complete before program termination should invoke commonPool().awaitQuiescence, before exit.

Returns
`ForkJoinPool`	the common pool instance

execute

Added in API level 21

public void execute (Runnable task)

Parameters
`task`	`Runnable`

Throws
`NullPointerException`	if the task is null
`RejectedExecutionException`	if the task cannot be scheduled for execution

execute

Added in API level 21

public void execute (ForkJoinTask<?> task)

Arranges for (asynchronous) execution of the given task.

Parameters
`task`	`ForkJoinTask`: the task

`RejectedExecutionException`	if the task cannot be scheduled for execution

getActiveThreadCount

Added in API level 21

public int getActiveThreadCount ()

Returns an estimate of the number of threads that are currently stealing or executing tasks. This method may overestimate the number of active threads.

Returns
`int`	the number of active threads

getAsyncMode

Added in API level 21

public boolean getAsyncMode ()

Returns true if this pool uses local first-in-first-out scheduling mode for forked tasks that are never joined.

Returns
`boolean`	`true` if this pool uses async mode

getCommonPoolParallelism

Added in API level 24

public static int getCommonPoolParallelism ()

Returns the targeted parallelism level of the common pool.

Returns
`int`	the targeted parallelism level of the common pool

Added in API level 21

public ForkJoinPool.ForkJoinWorkerThreadFactory getFactory ()

Returns the factory used for constructing new workers.

Returns
`ForkJoinPool.ForkJoinWorkerThreadFactory`	the factory used for constructing new workers

getParallelism

Added in API level 21

public int getParallelism ()

Returns the targeted parallelism level of this pool.

Returns
`int`	the targeted parallelism level of this pool

getPoolSize

Added in API level 21

public int getPoolSize ()

Returns the number of worker threads that have started but not yet terminated. The result returned by this method may differ from getParallelism() when threads are created to maintain parallelism when others are cooperatively blocked.

Returns
`int`	the number of worker threads

getQueuedSubmissionCount

Added in API level 21

public int getQueuedSubmissionCount ()

Returns an estimate of the number of tasks submitted to this pool that have not yet begun executing. This method may take time proportional to the number of submissions.

Returns
`int`	the number of queued submissions

getQueuedTaskCount

Added in API level 21

public long getQueuedTaskCount ()

Returns an estimate of the total number of tasks currently held in queues by worker threads (but not including tasks submitted to the pool that have not begun executing). This value is only an approximation, obtained by iterating across all threads in the pool. This method may be useful for tuning task granularities.

Returns
`long`	the number of queued tasks

getRunningThreadCount

Added in API level 21

public int getRunningThreadCount ()

Returns an estimate of the number of worker threads that are not blocked waiting to join tasks or for other managed synchronization. This method may overestimate the number of running threads.

Returns
`int`	the number of worker threads

getStealCount

Added in API level 21

public long getStealCount ()

Returns an estimate of the total number of completed tasks that were executed by a thread other than their submitter. The reported value underestimates the actual total number of steals when the pool is not quiescent. This value may be useful for monitoring and tuning fork/join programs: in general, steal counts should be high enough to keep threads busy, but low enough to avoid overhead and contention across threads.

Returns
`long`	the number of steals

getUncaughtExceptionHandler

Added in API level 21

public Thread.UncaughtExceptionHandler getUncaughtExceptionHandler ()

Returns the handler for internal worker threads that terminate due to unrecoverable errors encountered while executing tasks.

hasQueuedSubmissions

Added in API level 21

public boolean hasQueuedSubmissions ()

Returns true if there are any tasks submitted to this pool that have not yet begun executing.

Returns
`boolean`	`true` if there are any queued submissions

invoke

Added in API level 21

public T invoke (ForkJoinTask<T> task)

Performs the given task, returning its result upon completion. If the computation encounters an unchecked Exception or Error, it is rethrown as the outcome of this invocation. Rethrown exceptions behave in the same way as regular exceptions, but, when possible, contain stack traces (as displayed for example using ex.printStackTrace()) of both the current thread as well as the thread actually encountering the exception; minimally only the latter.

Parameters
`task`	`ForkJoinTask`: the task

Returns
`T`	the task's result

Throws
`NullPointerException`	if the task is null
`RejectedExecutionException`	if the task cannot be scheduled for execution

invokeAll

Added in API level 21

                TimeUnit unit)

Executes the given tasks, returning a list of Futures holding their status and results when all complete or the timeout expires, whichever happens first. Future#isDone is true for each element of the returned list. Upon return, tasks that have not completed are cancelled. Note that a completed task could have terminated either normally or by throwing an exception. The results of this method are undefined if the given collection is modified while this operation is in progress.

Parameters
`tasks`	`Collection`: the collection of tasks
`timeout`	`long`: the maximum time to wait
`unit`	`TimeUnit`: the time unit of the timeout argument

Returns
`List<Future<T>>`	a list of Futures representing the tasks, in the same sequential order as produced by the iterator for the given task list. If the operation did not time out, each task will have completed. If it did time out, some of these tasks will not have completed.

Throws
`InterruptedException`

invokeAll

Added in API level 21

The results of this method are undefined if the given collection is modified while this operation is in progress.

Parameters
`tasks`	`Collection`: the collection of tasks

Returns
`List<Future<T>>`	a list of Futures representing the tasks, in the same sequential order as produced by the iterator for the given task list, each of which has completed

Throws

`RejectedExecutionException`

invokeAny

Added in API level 21

public T invokeAny (Collection<? extends Callable<T>> tasks)

Executes the given tasks, returning the result of one that has completed successfully (i.e., without throwing an exception), if any do. Upon normal or exceptional return, tasks that have not completed are cancelled. The results of this method are undefined if the given collection is modified while this operation is in progress.

Parameters
`tasks`	`Collection`: the collection of tasks

Returns
`T`	the result returned by one of the tasks

Throws
`ExecutionException`
`InterruptedException`

invokeAny

Added in API level 21

public T invokeAny (Collection<? extends Callable<T>> tasks, 
                long timeout, 
                TimeUnit unit)

Executes the given tasks, returning the result of one that has completed successfully (i.e., without throwing an exception), if any do before the given timeout elapses. Upon normal or exceptional return, tasks that have not completed are cancelled. The results of this method are undefined if the given collection is modified while this operation is in progress.

Parameters
`tasks`	`Collection`: the collection of tasks
`timeout`	`long`: the maximum time to wait
`unit`	`TimeUnit`: the time unit of the timeout argument

Returns
`T`	the result returned by one of the tasks

Throws
`ExecutionException`
`InterruptedException`
`TimeoutException`

isQuiescent

Added in API level 21

public boolean isQuiescent ()

Returns true if all worker threads are currently idle. An idle worker is one that cannot obtain a task to execute because none are available to steal from other threads, and there are no pending submissions to the pool. This method is conservative; it might not return true immediately upon idleness of all threads, but will eventually become true if threads remain inactive.

Returns
`boolean`	`true` if all threads are currently idle

isShutdown

Added in API level 21

public boolean isShutdown ()

Returns true if this pool has been shut down.

Returns
`boolean`	`true` if this pool has been shut down

isTerminated

Added in API level 21

public boolean isTerminated ()

Returns true if all tasks have completed following shut down.

Returns
`boolean`	`true` if all tasks have completed following shut down

isTerminating

Added in API level 21

public boolean isTerminating ()

Returns true if the process of termination has commenced but not yet completed. This method may be useful for debugging. A return of true reported a sufficient period after shutdown may indicate that submitted tasks have ignored or suppressed interruption, or are waiting for I/O, causing this executor not to properly terminate. (See the advisory notes for class ForkJoinTask stating that tasks should not normally entail blocking operations. But if they do, they must abort them on interrupt.)

Returns
`boolean`	`true` if terminating but not yet terminated

managedBlock

Added in API level 21

public static void managedBlock (ForkJoinPool.ManagedBlocker blocker)

Runs the given possibly blocking task. When running in a ForkJoinPool, this method possibly arranges for a spare thread to be activated if necessary to ensure sufficient parallelism while the current thread is blocked in blocker.block().

This method repeatedly calls blocker.isReleasable() and blocker.block() until either method returns true. Every call to blocker.block() is preceded by a call to blocker.isReleasable() that returned false.

If not running in a ForkJoinPool, this method is behaviorally equivalent to

 while (!blocker.isReleasable())
   if (blocker.block())
     break;

If running in a ForkJoinPool, the pool may first be expanded to ensure sufficient parallelism available during the call to blocker.block().

Parameters
`blocker`	`ForkJoinPool.ManagedBlocker`: the blocker task

Throws
`InterruptedException`	if `blocker.block()` did so

shutdown

Added in API level 21

public void shutdown ()

Possibly initiates an orderly shutdown in which previously submitted tasks are executed, but no new tasks will be accepted. Invocation has no effect on execution state if this is the commonPool(), and no additional effect if already shut down. Tasks that are in the process of being submitted concurrently during the course of this method may or may not be rejected.

Throws
`SecurityException`	if a security manager exists and the caller is not permitted to modify threads because it does not hold `RuntimePermission("modifyThread")`

shutdownNow

Added in API level 21

public List<Runnable> shutdownNow ()

Possibly attempts to cancel and/or stop all tasks, and reject all subsequently submitted tasks. Invocation has no effect on execution state if this is the commonPool(), and no additional effect if already shut down. Otherwise, tasks that are in the process of being submitted or executed concurrently during the course of this method may or may not be rejected. This method cancels both existing and unexecuted tasks, in order to permit termination in the presence of task dependencies. So the method always returns an empty list (unlike the case for some other Executors).

Returns
`List<Runnable>`	an empty list

Throws
`SecurityException`	if a security manager exists and the caller is not permitted to modify threads because it does not hold `RuntimePermission("modifyThread")`

submit

Added in API level 21

public ForkJoinTask<T> submit (Callable<T> task)

Submits a value-returning task for execution and returns a Future representing the pending results of the task. The Future's get method will return the task's result upon successful completion.

If you would like to immediately block waiting for a task, you can use constructions of the form result = exec.submit(aCallable).get();

Note: The Executors class includes a set of methods that can convert some other common closure-like objects, for example, PrivilegedAction to Callable form so they can be submitted.

Parameters
`task`	`Callable`: the task to submit

Returns
`ForkJoinTask<T>`	a Future representing pending completion of the task

Throws
`NullPointerException`	if the task is null
`RejectedExecutionException`	if the task cannot be scheduled for execution

submit

Added in API level 21

public ForkJoinTask<T> submit (ForkJoinTask<T> task)

Submits a ForkJoinTask for execution.

Parameters
`task`	`ForkJoinTask`: the task to submit

Returns
`ForkJoinTask<T>`	the task

Throws
`NullPointerException`	if the task is null
`RejectedExecutionException`	if the task cannot be scheduled for execution

submit

Added in API level 21

public ForkJoinTask<?> submit (Runnable task)

Submits a Runnable task for execution and returns a Future representing that task. The Future's get method will return null upon successful completion.

Parameters
`task`	`Runnable`: the task to submit

Returns
`ForkJoinTask<?>`	a Future representing pending completion of the task

Throws
`NullPointerException`	if the task is null
`RejectedExecutionException`	if the task cannot be scheduled for execution

submit

Added in API level 21

public ForkJoinTask<T> submit (Runnable task, 
                T result)

Submits a Runnable task for execution and returns a Future representing that task. The Future's get method will return the given result upon successful completion.

Parameters
`task`	`Runnable`: the task to submit
`result`	`T`: the result to return

Returns
`ForkJoinTask<T>`	a Future representing pending completion of the task

Throws
`NullPointerException`	if the task is null
`RejectedExecutionException`	if the task cannot be scheduled for execution

toString

Added in API level 21

public String toString ()

Returns a string identifying this pool, as well as its state, including indications of run state, parallelism level, and worker and task counts.

Returns
`String`	a string identifying this pool, as well as its state

Protected methods

drainTasksTo

Added in API level 21

protected int drainTasksTo (Collection<? super ForkJoinTask<?>> c)

Removes all available unexecuted submitted and forked tasks from scheduling queues and adds them to the given collection, without altering their execution status. These may include artificially generated or wrapped tasks. This method is designed to be invoked only when the pool is known to be quiescent. Invocations at other times may not remove all tasks. 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. The behavior of this operation is undefined if the specified collection is modified while the operation is in progress.

Parameters
`c`	`Collection`: the collection to transfer elements into

Returns
`int`	the number of elements transferred

newTaskFor

Added in API level 21

protected RunnableFuture<T> newTaskFor (Runnable runnable, 
                T value)

Returns a RunnableFuture for the given runnable and default value.

Parameters
`runnable`	`Runnable`: the runnable task being wrapped
`value`	`T`: the default value for the returned future

Returns
`RunnableFuture<T>`	a `RunnableFuture` which, when run, will run the underlying runnable and which, as a `Future`, will yield the given value as its result and provide for cancellation of the underlying task

newTaskFor

Added in API level 21

protected RunnableFuture<T> newTaskFor (Callable<T> callable)

Returns a RunnableFuture for the given callable task.

Parameters
`callable`	`Callable`: the callable task being wrapped

Returns
`RunnableFuture<T>`	a `RunnableFuture` which, when run, will call the underlying callable and which, as a `Future`, will yield the callable's result as its result and provide for cancellation of the underlying task

pollSubmission

Added in API level 21

protected ForkJoinTask<?> pollSubmission ()

Removes and returns the next unexecuted submission if one is available. This method may be useful in extensions to this class that re-assign work in systems with multiple pools.

Returns
`ForkJoinTask<?>`	the next submission, or `null` if none
