This class arranges that submitted tasks are, * upon completion, placed on a queue accessible using take. * The class is lightweight enough to be suitable for transient use * when processing groups of tasks. * *

* * Usage Examples. * Suppose you have a set of solvers for a certain problem (each returning * a value of some type Result), * and would like to run them concurrently, using the results of each of them * that return a non-null value. You could write this as: * *

 *    void solve(Executor e, Collection<Callable<Result>> solvers)
 *      throws InterruptedException, ExecutionException {
 *        CompletionService<Result> ecs = new ExecutorCompletionService<Result>(e);
 *        for (Callable<Result> s : solvers)
 *            ecs.submit(s);
 *        int n = solvers.size();
 *        for (int i = 0; i < n; ++i) {
 *            Result r = ecs.take().get();
 *            if (r != null) 
 *                use(r);
 *        }
 *    }
 * 
* * Suppose instead that you would like to use the first non-null result * of the set of tasks, ignoring any of those that encounter exceptions, * and cancelling all other tasks when the first one is ready: * *
 *    void solve(Executor e, Collection<Callable<Result>> solvers) 
 *      throws InterruptedException {
 *        CompletionService<Result> ecs = new ExecutorCompletionService<Result>(e);
 *        int n = solvers.size();
 *        List<Future<Result>> futures = new ArrayList<Future<Result>>(n);
 *        Result result = null;
 *        try {
 *            for (Callable<Result> s : solvers)
 *                futures.add(ecs.submit(s));
 *            for (int i = 0; i < n; ++i) {
 *                try {
 *                    Result r = ecs.take().get();
 *                    if (r != null) {
 *                        result = r;
 *                        break;
 *                    }
 *                } catch(ExecutionException ignore) {}
 *            }
 *        }
 *        finally {
 *            for (Future<Result> f : futures)
 *                f.cancel(true);
 *        }
 *
 *        if (result != null)
 *            use(result);
 *    }
