/**
 * A synchronization aid that allows one or more threads to wait until
 * a set of operations being performed in other threads completes.
 *
 * <p>A <tt>CountDownLatch</tt> is initialized with a given
 * <em>count</em>.  The {@link #await} methods block until the current
 * {@link #getCount count} reaches zero due to invocations of the
 * {@link #countDown} method, after which all waiting threads are
 * released and any subsequent invocations of {@link #await} return
 * immediately. This is a one-shot phenomenon -- the count cannot be
 * reset.  If you need a version that resets the count, consider using
 * a {@link CyclicBarrier}.
 *
 * <p>A <tt>CountDownLatch</tt> is a versatile synchronization tool
 * and can be used for a number of purposes.  A
 * <tt>CountDownLatch</tt> initialized with a count of one serves as a
 * simple on/off latch, or gate: all threads invoking {@link #wait}
 * wait at the gate until it is opened by a thread invoking {@link
 * #countDown}.  A <tt>CountDownLatch</tt> initialized to <em>N</em>
 * can be used to make one thread wait until <em>N</em> threads have
 * completed some action, or some action has been completed N times.
 * <p>A useful property of a <tt>CountDownLatch</tt> is that it
 * doesn't require that threads calling <tt>countDown</tt> wait for
 * the count to reach zero before proceeding, it simply prevents any
 * thread from proceeding past the {@link #await wait} until all
 * threads could pass.
 *
 * <p><b>Sample usage:</b> Here is a pair of classes in which a group
 * of worker threads use two countdown latches:
 * <ul>
 * <li> The first is a start signal that prevents any worker from proceeding
 * until the driver is ready for them to proceed;
 * <li> The second is a completion signal that allows the driver to wait
 * until all workers have completed.
 * </ul>
 *
 * <pre>
 * class Driver { // ...
 *   void main() throws InterruptedException {
 *     CountDownLatch startSignal = new CountDownLatch(1);
 *     CountDownLatch doneSignal = new CountDownLatch(N);
 *
 *     for (int i = 0; i < N; ++i) // create and start threads
 *       new Thread(new Worker(startSignal, doneSignal)).start();
 *
 *     doSomethingElse();            // don't let run yet
 *     startSignal.countDown();      // let all threads proceed
 *     doSomethingElse();
 *     doneSignal.await();           // wait for all to finish
 *   }
 * }
 *
 * class Worker implements Runnable {
 *   private final CountDownLatch startSignal;
 *   private final CountDownLatch doneSignal;
 *   Worker(CountDownLatch startSignal, CountDownLatch doneSignal) {
 *      this.startSignal = startSignal;
 *      this.doneSignal = doneSignal;
 *   }
 *   public void run() {
 *      try {
 *        startSignal.await();
 *        doWork();
 *        doneSignal.countDown();
 *      } catch (InterruptedException ex) {} // return;
 *   }
 *
 *   void doWork() { ... }
 * }
 *
 * </pre>
 *
 * <p>Another typical usage would be to divide a problem into N parts,
 * describe each part with a Runnable that executes that portion and
 * counts down on the latch, and queue all the Runnables to an
 * Executor.  When all sub-parts are complete, the coordinating thread
 * will be able to pass through await.
 *
 * <pre>
 * class Driver2 { // ...
 *   void main() throws InterruptedException {
 *     CountDownLatch doneSignal = new CountDownLatch(N);
 *     Executor e = ...
