|
|
* A {@link BlockingQueue} in which producers may wait for consumers |
12 |
jsr166 |
1.4 |
* to receive elements. A {@code TransferQueue} may be useful for |
13 |
dl |
1.1 |
* example in message passing applications in which producers |
14 |
jsr166 |
1.6 |
* sometimes (using method {@link #transfer}) await receipt of |
15 |
|
|
* elements by consumers invoking {@code take} or {@code poll}, while |
16 |
|
|
* at other times enqueue elements (via method {@code put}) without |
17 |
|
|
* waiting for receipt. {@linkplain |
18 |
|
|
* #tryTransfer(Object) Non-blocking} and {@linkplain |
19 |
|
|
* #tryTransfer(Object,long,TimeUnit) time-out} versions of {@code |
20 |
|
|
* tryTransfer} are also available. A {@code TransferQueue} may also |
21 |
|
|
* be queried, via {@link #hasWaitingConsumer}, whether there are any |
22 |
|
|
* threads waiting for items, which is a converse analogy to a {@code |
23 |
|
|
* peek} operation. |

jsr166 |
1.6 |
* <p>Like other blocking queues, a {@code TransferQueue} may be |
26 |
jsr166 |
1.4 |
* capacity bounded. If so, an attempted {@code transfer} operation |
27 |
dl |
1.1 |
* may initially block waiting for available space, and/or |
28 |
|
|
* subsequently block waiting for reception by a consumer. Note that |
29 |
|
|
* in a queue with zero capacity, such as {@link SynchronousQueue}, |
30 |
jsr166 |
1.4 |
* {@code put} and {@code transfer} are effectively synonymous. |
