10 * A {@link ForkJoinTask} with a completion action performed when
11 * triggered and there are no remaining pending actions.
12 * CountedCompleters are in general more robust in the
13 * presence of subtask stalls and blockage than are other forms of
14 * ForkJoinTasks, but are less intuitive to program. Uses of
15 * CountedCompleter are similar to those of other completion based
16 * components (such as {@link java.nio.channels.CompletionHandler})
17 * except that multiple <em>pending</em> completions may be necessary
18 * to trigger the completion action {@link #onCompletion(CountedCompleter)},
19 * not just one.
20 * Unless initialized otherwise, the {@linkplain #getPendingCount pending
21 * count} starts at zero, but may be (atomically) changed using
22 * methods {@link #setPendingCount}, {@link #addToPendingCount}, and
23 * {@link #compareAndSetPendingCount}. Upon invocation of {@link
24 * #tryComplete}, if the pending action count is nonzero, it is
25 * decremented; otherwise, the completion action is performed, and if
26 * this completer itself has a completer, the process is continued
27 * with its completer. As is the case with related synchronization
28 * components such as {@link java.util.concurrent.Phaser Phaser} and
29 * {@link java.util.concurrent.Semaphore Semaphore}, these methods
30 * affect only internal counts; they do not establish any further
31 * internal bookkeeping. In particular, the identities of pending
32 * tasks are not maintained. As illustrated below, you can create
33 * subclasses that do record some or all pending tasks or their
34 * results when needed. As illustrated below, utility methods
35 * supporting customization of completion traversals are also
36 * provided. However, because CountedCompleters provide only basic
37 * synchronization mechanisms, it may be useful to create further
38 * abstract subclasses that maintain linkages, fields, and additional
39 * support methods appropriate for a set of related usages.
40 *
41 * <p>A concrete CountedCompleter class must define method {@link
42 * #compute}, that should in most cases (as illustrated below), invoke
43 * {@code tryComplete()} once before returning. The class may also
44 * optionally override method {@link #onCompletion(CountedCompleter)}
45 * to perform an action upon normal completion, and method
46 * {@link #onExceptionalCompletion(Throwable, CountedCompleter)} to
47 * perform an action upon any exception.
48 *
49 * <p>CountedCompleters most often do not bear results, in which case
50 * they are normally declared as {@code CountedCompleter<Void>}, and
51 * will always return {@code null} as a result value. In other cases,
52 * you should override method {@link #getRawResult} to provide a
53 * result from {@code join(), invoke()}, and related methods. In
54 * general, this method should return the value of a field (or a
55 * function of one or more fields) of the CountedCompleter object that
56 * holds the result upon completion. Method {@link #setRawResult} by
57 * default plays no role in CountedCompleters. It is possible, but
58 * rarely applicable, to override this method to maintain other
59 * objects or fields holding result data.
60 *
61 * <p>A CountedCompleter that does not itself have a completer (i.e.,
62 * one for which {@link #getCompleter} returns {@code null}) can be
63 * used as a regular ForkJoinTask with this added functionality.
64 * However, any completer that in turn has another completer serves
65 * only as an internal helper for other computations, so its own task
66 * status (as reported in methods such as {@link ForkJoinTask#isDone})
67 * is arbitrary; this status changes only upon explicit invocations of
68 * {@link #complete}, {@link ForkJoinTask#cancel},
69 * {@link ForkJoinTask#completeExceptionally(Throwable)} or upon
70 * exceptional completion of method {@code compute}. Upon any
71 * exceptional completion, the exception may be relayed to a task's
72 * completer (and its completer, and so on), if one exists and it has
73 * not otherwise already completed. Similarly, cancelling an internal
74 * CountedCompleter has only a local effect on that completer, so is
75 * not often useful.
76 *
77 * <p><b>Sample Usages.</b>
78 *
79 * <p><b>Parallel recursive decomposition.</b> CountedCompleters may
80 * be arranged in trees similar to those often used with {@link
81 * RecursiveAction}s, although the constructions involved in setting
82 * them up typically vary. Here, the completer of each task is its
83 * parent in the computation tree. Even though they entail a bit more
84 * bookkeeping, CountedCompleters may be better choices when applying
85 * a possibly time-consuming operation (that cannot be further
86 * subdivided) to each element of an array or collection; especially
87 * when the operation takes a significantly different amount of time
88 * to complete for some elements than others, either because of
89 * intrinsic variation (for example I/O) or auxiliary effects such as
90 * garbage collection. Because CountedCompleters provide their own
91 * continuations, other threads need not block waiting to perform
92 * them.
93 *
94 * <p>For example, here is an initial version of a class that uses
95 * divide-by-two recursive decomposition to divide work into single
96 * pieces (leaf tasks). Even when work is split into individual calls,
97 * tree-based techniques are usually preferable to directly forking
98 * leaf tasks, because they reduce inter-thread communication and
99 * improve load balancing. In the recursive case, the second of each
100 * pair of subtasks to finish triggers completion of its parent
101 * (because no result combination is performed, the default no-op
102 * implementation of method {@code onCompletion} is not overridden).
103 * A static utility method sets up the base task and invokes it
104 * (here, implicitly using the {@link ForkJoinPool#commonPool()}).
105 *
106 * <pre> {@code
107 * class MyOperation<E> { void apply(E e) { ... } }
108 *
109 * class ForEach<E> extends CountedCompleter<Void> {
110 *
111 * public static <E> void forEach(E[] array, MyOperation<E> op) {
112 * new ForEach<E>(null, array, op, 0, array.length).invoke();
113 * }
114 *
115 * final E[] array; final MyOperation<E> op; final int lo, hi;
116 * ForEach(CountedCompleter<?> p, E[] array, MyOperation<E> op, int lo, int hi) {
117 * super(p);
118 * this.array = array; this.op = op; this.lo = lo; this.hi = hi;
119 * }
120 *
121 * public void compute() { // version 1
122 * if (hi - lo >= 2) {
123 * int mid = (lo + hi) >>> 1;
124 * setPendingCount(2); // must set pending count before fork
125 * new ForEach(this, array, op, mid, hi).fork(); // right child
126 * new ForEach(this, array, op, lo, mid).fork(); // left child
127 * }
128 * else if (hi > lo)
129 * op.apply(array[lo]);
130 * tryComplete();
131 * }
132 * }}</pre>
133 *
134 * This design can be improved by noticing that in the recursive case,
135 * the task has nothing to do after forking its right task, so can
136 * directly invoke its left task before returning. (This is an analog
137 * of tail recursion removal.) Also, because the task returns upon
138 * executing its left task (rather than falling through to invoke
139 * {@code tryComplete}) the pending count is set to one:
140 *
141 * <pre> {@code
142 * class ForEach<E> ... {
143 * ...
144 * public void compute() { // version 2
145 * if (hi - lo >= 2) {
146 * int mid = (lo + hi) >>> 1;
147 * setPendingCount(1); // only one pending
148 * new ForEach(this, array, op, mid, hi).fork(); // right child
149 * new ForEach(this, array, op, lo, mid).compute(); // direct invoke
150 * }
151 * else {
152 * if (hi > lo)
153 * op.apply(array[lo]);
154 * tryComplete();
155 * }
156 * }
157 * }}</pre>
158 *
159 * As a further optimization, notice that the left task need not even exist.
160 * Instead of creating a new one, we can iterate using the original task,
161 * and add a pending count for each fork. Additionally, because no task
162 * in this tree implements an {@link #onCompletion(CountedCompleter)} method,
163 * {@code tryComplete()} can be replaced with {@link #propagateCompletion}.
164 *
165 * <pre> {@code
166 * class ForEach<E> ... {
167 * ...
168 * public void compute() { // version 3
169 * int l = lo, h = hi;
170 * while (h - l >= 2) {
171 * int mid = (l + h) >>> 1;
172 * addToPendingCount(1);
173 * new ForEach(this, array, op, mid, h).fork(); // right child
174 * h = mid;
175 * }
176 * if (h > l)
177 * op.apply(array[l]);
178 * propagateCompletion();
179 * }
180 * }}</pre>
181 *
182 * Additional optimizations of such classes might entail precomputing
183 * pending counts so that they can be established in constructors,
184 * specializing classes for leaf steps, subdividing by say, four,
185 * instead of two per iteration, and using an adaptive threshold
186 * instead of always subdividing down to single elements.
187 *
188 * <p><b>Searching.</b> A tree of CountedCompleters can search for a
189 * value or property in different parts of a data structure, and
190 * report a result in an {@link
191 * java.util.concurrent.atomic.AtomicReference AtomicReference} as
192 * soon as one is found. The others can poll the result to avoid
193 * unnecessary work. (You could additionally {@linkplain #cancel
194 * cancel} other tasks, but it is usually simpler and more efficient
195 * to just let them notice that the result is set and if so skip
196 * further processing.) Illustrating again with an array using full
197 * partitioning (again, in practice, leaf tasks will almost always
198 * process more than one element):
199 *
200 * <pre> {@code
201 * class Searcher<E> extends CountedCompleter<E> {
202 * final E[] array; final AtomicReference<E> result; final int lo, hi;
203 * Searcher(CountedCompleter<?> p, E[] array, AtomicReference<E> result, int lo, int hi) {
204 * super(p);
205 * this.array = array; this.result = result; this.lo = lo; this.hi = hi;
206 * }
207 * public E getRawResult() { return result.get(); }
208 * public void compute() { // similar to ForEach version 3
209 * int l = lo, h = hi;
210 * while (result.get() == null && h >= l) {
211 * if (h - l >= 2) {
212 * int mid = (l + h) >>> 1;
213 * addToPendingCount(1);
214 * new Searcher(this, array, result, mid, h).fork();
215 * h = mid;
216 * }
217 * else {
218 * E x = array[l];
219 * if (matches(x) && result.compareAndSet(null, x))
220 * quietlyCompleteRoot(); // root task is now joinable
221 * break;
222 * }
223 * }
224 * tryComplete(); // normally complete whether or not found
225 * }
226 * boolean matches(E e) { ... } // return true if found
227 *
228 * public static <E> E search(E[] array) {
229 * return new Searcher<E>(null, array, new AtomicReference<E>(), 0, array.length).invoke();
230 * }
231 * }}</pre>
232 *
233 * In this example, as well as others in which tasks have no other
234 * effects except to {@code compareAndSet} a common result, the
235 * trailing unconditional invocation of {@code tryComplete} could be
236 * made conditional ({@code if (result.get() == null) tryComplete();})
237 * because no further bookkeeping is required to manage completions
238 * once the root task completes.
239 *
240 * <p><b>Recording subtasks.</b> CountedCompleter tasks that combine
241 * results of multiple subtasks usually need to access these results
242 * in method {@link #onCompletion(CountedCompleter)}. As illustrated in the following
243 * class (that performs a simplified form of map-reduce where mappings
244 * and reductions are all of type {@code E}), one way to do this in
245 * divide and conquer designs is to have each subtask record its
246 * sibling, so that it can be accessed in method {@code onCompletion}.
247 * This technique applies to reductions in which the order of
248 * combining left and right results does not matter; ordered
249 * reductions require explicit left/right designations. Variants of
250 * other streamlinings seen in the above examples may also apply.
251 *
252 * <pre> {@code
253 * class MyMapper<E> { E apply(E v) { ... } }
254 * class MyReducer<E> { E apply(E x, E y) { ... } }
255 * class MapReducer<E> extends CountedCompleter<E> {
256 * final E[] array; final MyMapper<E> mapper;
257 * final MyReducer<E> reducer; final int lo, hi;
258 * MapReducer<E> sibling;
259 * E result;
260 * MapReducer(CountedCompleter<?> p, E[] array, MyMapper<E> mapper,
261 * MyReducer<E> reducer, int lo, int hi) {
262 * super(p);
263 * this.array = array; this.mapper = mapper;
264 * this.reducer = reducer; this.lo = lo; this.hi = hi;
265 * }
266 * public void compute() {
267 * if (hi - lo >= 2) {
268 * int mid = (lo + hi) >>> 1;
269 * MapReducer<E> left = new MapReducer(this, array, mapper, reducer, lo, mid);
270 * MapReducer<E> right = new MapReducer(this, array, mapper, reducer, mid, hi);
271 * left.sibling = right;
272 * right.sibling = left;
273 * setPendingCount(1); // only right is pending
274 * right.fork();
275 * left.compute(); // directly execute left
276 * }
277 * else {
278 * if (hi > lo)
279 * result = mapper.apply(array[lo]);
280 * tryComplete();
281 * }
282 * }
283 * public void onCompletion(CountedCompleter<?> caller) {
284 * if (caller != this) {
285 * MapReducer<E> child = (MapReducer<E>)caller;
286 * MapReducer<E> sib = child.sibling;
287 * if (sib == null || sib.result == null)
288 * result = child.result;
289 * else
290 * result = reducer.apply(child.result, sib.result);
291 * }
292 * }
293 * public E getRawResult() { return result; }
294 *
295 * public static <E> E mapReduce(E[] array, MyMapper<E> mapper, MyReducer<E> reducer) {
296 * return new MapReducer<E>(null, array, mapper, reducer,
297 * 0, array.length).invoke();
298 * }
299 * }}</pre>
300 *
301 * Here, method {@code onCompletion} takes a form common to many
302 * completion designs that combine results. This callback-style method
303 * is triggered once per task, in either of the two different contexts
304 * in which the pending count is, or becomes, zero: (1) by a task
305 * itself, if its pending count is zero upon invocation of {@code
306 * tryComplete}, or (2) by any of its subtasks when they complete and
307 * decrement the pending count to zero. The {@code caller} argument
308 * distinguishes cases. Most often, when the caller is {@code this},
309 * no action is necessary. Otherwise the caller argument can be used
310 * (usually via a cast) to supply a value (and/or links to other
311 * values) to be combined. Assuming proper use of pending counts, the
312 * actions inside {@code onCompletion} occur (once) upon completion of
313 * a task and its subtasks. No additional synchronization is required
314 * within this method to ensure thread safety of accesses to fields of
315 * this task or other completed tasks.
316 *
317 * <p><b>Completion Traversals</b>. If using {@code onCompletion} to
318 * process completions is inapplicable or inconvenient, you can use
319 * methods {@link #firstComplete} and {@link #nextComplete} to create
320 * custom traversals. For example, to define a MapReducer that only
321 * splits out right-hand tasks in the form of the third ForEach
322 * example, the completions must cooperatively reduce along
323 * unexhausted subtask links, which can be done as follows:
324 *
325 * <pre> {@code
326 * class MapReducer<E> extends CountedCompleter<E> { // version 2
327 * final E[] array; final MyMapper<E> mapper;
328 * final MyReducer<E> reducer; final int lo, hi;
329 * MapReducer<E> forks, next; // record subtask forks in list
330 * E result;
331 * MapReducer(CountedCompleter<?> p, E[] array, MyMapper<E> mapper,
332 * MyReducer<E> reducer, int lo, int hi, MapReducer<E> next) {
333 * super(p);
334 * this.array = array; this.mapper = mapper;
335 * this.reducer = reducer; this.lo = lo; this.hi = hi;
336 * this.next = next;
337 * }
338 * public void compute() {
339 * int l = lo, h = hi;
340 * while (h - l >= 2) {
341 * int mid = (l + h) >>> 1;
342 * addToPendingCount(1);
343 * (forks = new MapReducer(this, array, mapper, reducer, mid, h, forks)).fork();
344 * h = mid;
345 * }
346 * if (h > l)
347 * result = mapper.apply(array[l]);
348 * // process completions by reducing along and advancing subtask links
349 * for (CountedCompleter<?> c = firstComplete(); c != null; c = c.nextComplete()) {
350 * for (MapReducer t = (MapReducer)c, s = t.forks; s != null; s = t.forks = s.next)
351 * t.result = reducer.apply(t.result, s.result);
352 * }
353 * }
354 * public E getRawResult() { return result; }
355 *
356 * public static <E> E mapReduce(E[] array, MyMapper<E> mapper, MyReducer<E> reducer) {
357 * return new MapReducer<E>(null, array, mapper, reducer,
358 * 0, array.length, null).invoke();
359 * }
360 * }}</pre>
361 *
362 * <p><b>Triggers.</b> Some CountedCompleters are themselves never
363 * forked, but instead serve as bits of plumbing in other designs;
364 * including those in which the completion of one or more async tasks
365 * triggers another async task. For example:
366 *
367 * <pre> {@code
368 * class HeaderBuilder extends CountedCompleter<...> { ... }
369 * class BodyBuilder extends CountedCompleter<...> { ... }
370 * class PacketSender extends CountedCompleter<...> {
371 * PacketSender(...) { super(null, 1); ... } // trigger on second completion
372 * public void compute() { } // never called
373 * public void onCompletion(CountedCompleter<?> caller) { sendPacket(); }
374 * }
375 * // sample use:
376 * PacketSender p = new PacketSender();
377 * new HeaderBuilder(p, ...).fork();
378 * new BodyBuilder(p, ...).fork();}</pre>
