/**
 * Abstract base class for tasks that run within a {@link
 * ForkJoinPool}.  A ForkJoinTask is a thread-like entity that is much
 * lighter weight than a normal thread.  Huge numbers of tasks and
 * subtasks may be hosted by a small number of actual threads in a
 * ForkJoinPool, at the price of some usage limitations.
 *
 * <p> A "main" ForkJoinTask begins execution when submitted to a
 * {@link ForkJoinPool}. Once started, it will usually in turn start
 * other subtasks.  As indicated by the name of this class, many
 * programs using ForkJoinTasks employ only methods <code>fork</code>
 * and <code>join</code>, or derivatives such as
 * <code>invokeAll</code>.  However, this class also provides a number
 * of other methods that can come into play in advanced usages, as
 * well as extension mechanics that allow support of new forms of
 * fork/join processing.
 *
 * <p>A ForkJoinTask is a lightweight form of {@link Future}.  The
 * efficiency of ForkJoinTasks stems from a set of restrictions (that
 * are only partially statically enforceable) reflecting their
 * intended use as computational tasks calculating pure functions or
 * operating on purely isolated objects.  The primary coordination
 * mechanisms are {@link #fork}, that arranges asynchronous execution,
 * and {@link #join}, that doesn't proceed until the task's result has
 * been computed.  Computations should avoid <code>synchronized</code>
 * methods or blocks, and should minimize other blocking
 * synchronization apart from joining other tasks or using
 * synchronizers such as Phasers that are advertised to cooperate with
 * fork/join scheduling. Tasks should also not perform blocking IO,
 * and should ideally access variables that are completely independent
 * of those accessed by other running tasks. Minor breaches of these
 * restrictions, for example using shared output streams, may be
 * tolerable in practice, but frequent use may result in poor
 * performance, and the potential to indefinitely stall if the number
 * of threads not waiting for IO or other external synchronization
 * becomes exhausted. This usage restriction is in part enforced by
 * not permitting checked exceptions such as <code>IOExceptions</code>
 * to be thrown. However, computations may still encounter unchecked
 * exceptions, that are rethrown to callers attempting join
 * them. These exceptions may additionally include
 * RejectedExecutionExceptions stemming from internal resource
 * exhaustion such as failure to allocate internal task queues.
 *
 * <p>The primary method for awaiting completion and extracting
 * results of a task is {@link #join}, but there are several variants:
 * The {@link Future#get} methods support interruptible and/or timed
 * waits for completion and report results using <code>Future</code>
 * conventions. Method {@link #helpJoin} enables callers to actively
 * execute other tasks while awaiting joins, which is sometimes more
 * efficient but only applies when all subtasks are known to be
 * strictly tree-structured. Method {@link #invoke} is semantically
 * equivalent to <code>fork(); join()</code> but always attempts to
 * begin execution in the current thread. The "<em>quiet</em>" forms
 * of these methods do not extract results or report exceptions. These
 * may be useful when a set of tasks are being executed, and you need
 * to delay processing of results or exceptions until all complete.
 * Method <code>invokeAll</code> (available in multiple versions)
 * performs the most common form of parallel invocation: forking a set
 * of tasks and joining them all.
 *
 * <p> The ForkJoinTask class is not usually directly subclassed.
 * Instead, you subclass one of the abstract classes that support a
 * particular style of fork/join processing.  Normally, a concrete
 * ForkJoinTask subclass declares fields comprising its parameters,
 * established in a constructor, and then defines a <code>compute</code>
 * method that somehow uses the control methods supplied by this base
 * class. While these methods have <code>public</code> access (to allow
 * instances of different task subclasses to call each others
 * methods), some of them may only be called from within other
 * ForkJoinTasks. Attempts to invoke them in other contexts result in
 * exceptions or errors possibly including ClassCastException.
 *
 * <p>Most base support methods are <code>final</code> because their
 * implementations are intrinsically tied to the underlying
 * lightweight task scheduling framework, and so cannot be overridden.
 * Developers creating new basic styles of fork/join processing should
 * minimally implement <code>protected</code> methods
 * <code>exec</code>, <code>setRawResult</code>, and
 * <code>getRawResult</code>, while also introducing an abstract
 * computational method that can be implemented in its subclasses,
 * possibly relying on other <code>protected</code> methods provided
 * by this class.
 *
 * <p>ForkJoinTasks should perform relatively small amounts of
 * computations, othewise splitting into smaller tasks. As a very
 * rough rule of thumb, a task should perform more than 100 and less
 * than 10000 basic computational steps. If tasks are too big, then
 * parellelism cannot improve throughput. If too small, then memory
 * and internal task maintenance overhead may overwhelm processing.
 *
 * <p>ForkJoinTasks are <code>Serializable</code>, which enables them
 * to be used in extensions such as remote execution frameworks. It is
 * in general sensible to serialize tasks only before or after, but
 * not during execution. Serialization is not relied on during
 * execution itself.
