class
ThreadPoolExecutor.DiscardOldestPolicy
extends Object
implements
RejectedExecutionHandler
A handler for rejected tasks that discards the oldest unhandled
request and then retries execute
, unless the executor
is shut down, in which case the task is discarded. This policy is
rarely useful in cases where other threads may be waiting for
tasks to terminate, or failures must be recorded. Instead consider
using a handler of the form:
new RejectedExecutionHandler() {
public void rejectedExecution(Runnable r, ThreadPoolExecutor e) {
Runnable dropped = e.getQueue().poll();
if (dropped instanceof Future<?>) {
((Future<?>)dropped).cancel(false);
// also consider logging the failure
}
e.execute(r); // retry
}}
