10     * A service that decouples the production of new asynchronous tasks
11     * from the consumption of the results of completed tasks. Producers
12     * <tt>submit</tt> tasks for execution. Consumers <tt>take</tt>
13     * completed tasks and process their results in the order they
14     * complete. A <tt>CompletionService</tt> can for example be used to
15     * manage asynchronous I/O, in which tasks that perform reads are
16     * submitted in one part of a program or system, and then acted upon
17     * in a different part of the program when the reads complete,
18     * possibly in a different order than they were requested.
19     *
20     * <p>Typically, a <tt>CompletionService</tt> relies on a separate
21     * {@link Executor} to actually execute the tasks, in which case the
22     * <tt>CompletionService</tt> only manages an internal completion
23     * queue. The {@link ExecutorCompletionService} class provides an
24     * implementation of this approach.
25     *
26     * <p>Memory consistency effects: Actions in a thread prior to
27     * submitting a task to a {@code CompletionService}
28     * <a href="package-summary.html#MemoryVisibility"><i>happen-before</i></a>
29     * actions taken by that task, which in turn <i>happen-before</i>
30     * actions following a successful return from the corresponding {@code take()}.
