10 * A service that decouples the production of new asynchronous tasks
11 * from the consumption of the results of completed tasks. Producers
12 * {@code submit} tasks for execution. Consumers {@code take}
13 * completed tasks and process their results in the order they
14 * complete. A {@code CompletionService} 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 {@code CompletionService} relies on a separate
21 * {@link Executor} to actually execute the tasks, in which case the
22 * {@code CompletionService} 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()}.
