23   * subtasks may be hosted by a small number of actual threads in a

26 < * <p> A "main" ForkJoinTask begins execution when submitted to a
27 < * {@link ForkJoinPool}. Once started, it will usually in turn start
28 < * other subtasks.  As indicated by the name of this class, many
29 < * programs using ForkJoinTasks employ only methods {@code fork} and
30 < * {@code join}, or derivatives such as {@code invokeAll}.  However,
31 < * this class also provides a number of other methods that can come
32 < * into play in advanced usages, as well as extension mechanics that
33 < * allow support of new forms of fork/join processing.

35   *
36 < * <p>A ForkJoinTask is a lightweight form of {@link Future}.  The
37 < * efficiency of ForkJoinTasks stems from a set of restrictions (that
38 < * are only partially statically enforceable) reflecting their
39 < * intended use as computational tasks calculating pure functions or
40 < * operating on purely isolated objects.  The primary coordination
41 < * mechanisms are {@link #fork}, that arranges asynchronous execution,
42 < * and {@link #join}, that doesn't proceed until the task's result has
43 < * been computed.  Computations should avoid {@code synchronized}
44 < * methods or blocks, and should minimize other blocking
45 < * synchronization apart from joining other tasks or using
46 < * synchronizers such as Phasers that are advertised to cooperate with
47 < * fork/join scheduling. Tasks should also not perform blocking IO,
48 < * and should ideally access variables that are completely independent
49 < * of those accessed by other running tasks. Minor breaches of these
50 < * restrictions, for example using shared output streams, may be
51 < * tolerable in practice, but frequent use may result in poor
52 < * performance, and the potential to indefinitely stall if the number
53 < * of threads not waiting for IO or other external synchronization
54 < * becomes exhausted. This usage restriction is in part enforced by
55 < * not permitting checked exceptions such as {@code IOExceptions}
56 < * to be thrown. However, computations may still encounter unchecked
57 < * exceptions, that are rethrown to callers attempting join
58 < * them. These exceptions may additionally include
59 < * RejectedExecutionExceptions stemming from internal resource
60 < * exhaustion such as failure to allocate internal task queues.

63   * <p>The primary method for awaiting completion and extracting
64   * results of a task is {@link #join}, but there are several variants:
# Line 65 | Line 68 | import java.util.WeakHashMap;
68   * execute other tasks while awaiting joins, which is sometimes more
69   * efficient but only applies when all subtasks are known to be
70   * strictly tree-structured. Method {@link #invoke} is semantically
71 < * equivalent to {@code fork(); join()} but always attempts to
72 < * begin execution in the current thread. The "<em>quiet</em>" forms
73 < * of these methods do not extract results or report exceptions. These
71 > * equivalent to {@code fork(); join()} but always attempts to begin
72 > * execution in the current thread. The "<em>quiet</em>" forms of
73 > * these methods do not extract results or report exceptions. These
74   * may be useful when a set of tasks are being executed, and you need
75   * to delay processing of results or exceptions until all complete.
76   * Method {@code invokeAll} (available in multiple versions)
77   * performs the most common form of parallel invocation: forking a set
78   * of tasks and joining them all.
79   *
80 < * <p> The ForkJoinTask class is not usually directly subclassed.
80 > * <p>The execution status of tasks may be queried at several levels
81 > * of detail: {@link #isDone} is true if a task completed in any way
82 > * (including the case where a task was cancelled without executing);
83 > * {@link #isCancelled} is true if completion was due to cancellation;
84 > * {@link #isCompletedNormally} is true if a task completed without
85 > * cancellation or encountering an exception; {@link
86 > * #isCompletedExceptionally} is true if if the task encountered an
87 > * exception (in which case {@link #getException} returns the
88 > * exception); {@link #isCancelled} is true if the task was cancelled
89 > * (in which case {@link #getException} returns a {@link
90 > * java.util.concurrent.CancellationException}); and {@link
91 > * #isCompletedAbnormally} is true if a task was either cancelled or
92 > * encountered an exception.
93 > *
94 > * <p>The ForkJoinTask class is not usually directly subclassed.
95   * Instead, you subclass one of the abstract classes that support a
96   * particular style of fork/join processing, typically {@link
97   * RecursiveAction} for computations that do not return results, or
# Line 83 | Line 100 | import java.util.WeakHashMap;
100   * established in a constructor, and then defines a {@code compute}
101   * method that somehow uses the control methods supplied by this base
102   * class. While these methods have {@code public} access (to allow
103 < * instances of different task subclasses to call each others
103 > * instances of different task subclasses to call each other's
104   * methods), some of them may only be called from within other
105   * ForkJoinTasks (as may be determined using method {@link
106   * #inForkJoinPool}).  Attempts to invoke them in other contexts
107   * result in exceptions or errors, possibly including
108   * ClassCastException.
109   *
110 < * <p>Most base support methods are {@code final} because their
111 < * implementations are intrinsically tied to the underlying
112 < * lightweight task scheduling framework, and so cannot be overridden.
113 < * Developers creating new basic styles of fork/join processing should
114 < * minimally implement {@code protected} methods
115 < * {@link #exec}, {@link #setRawResult}, and
116 < * {@link #getRawResult}, while also introducing an abstract
117 < * computational method that can be implemented in its subclasses,
118 < * possibly relying on other {@code protected} methods provided
102 < * by this class.

120   * <p>ForkJoinTasks should perform relatively small amounts of
121 < * computations, otherwise splitting into smaller tasks. As a very
122 < * rough rule of thumb, a task should perform more than 100 and less
123 < * than 10000 basic computational steps. If tasks are too big, then
124 < * parallelism cannot improve throughput. If too small, then memory
125 < * and internal task maintenance overhead may overwhelm processing.
