/** |

* A service that decouples the production of new asynchronous tasks |
| 11 |
* versus the comsumption of the results of completed tasks. |
| 12 |
* Producers <tt>submit</tt> tasks for execution. Consumers |
| 13 |
* <tt>take</tt> completed tasks and process their results in whatever |
| 14 |
* order they become available. A <tt>CompletionService</tt> can for |
| 15 |
* example be used to manage asynchronous IO, in which tasks that |
| 16 |
* perform reads are submitted in one part of a program or system, and |
| 17 |
* then acted upon in a different part of the program when the reads |
| 18 |
* complete, possibly in a different order than they were requested. |

| 22 |
* Typically, a <tt>CompletionService</tt> relies on a separate {@link |
| 23 |
* Executor} to actually execute the tasks, in which case the |
| 24 |
* <tt>CompletionService</tt> only manages an internal completion |
| 25 |
* queue. The {@link ExecutorCompletionService} class provides an |
| 26 |
* implementation of this approach. |
