CountDownLatch介绍

CountDownLatch概述

  1. CountDownLatch一般用作多线程倒计时计数器，强制它们等待其他一组（CountDownLatch的初始化决定）任务执行完成。
  2. 有一点要说明的是CountDownLatch初始化后计数器值递减到0的时候，不能再复原的，这一点区别于Semaphore，Semaphore是可以通过release操作恢复信号量的。

CountDownLatch使用原理

使用原理

  1. 创建CountDownLatch并设置计数器值。
  2. 启动多线程并且调用CountDownLatch实例的countDown()方法。
  3. 主线程调用 await() 方法，这样主线程的操作就会在这个方法上阻塞，直到其他线程完成各自的任务，count值为0，停止阻塞，主线程继续执行。

public class CountDownLatchModule {

    //线程数
    private static int N = 10;

    // 单位：min
    private static int countDownLatchTimeout = 5;

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        //创建CountDownLatch并设置计数值，该count值可以根据线程数的需要设置
        CountDownLatch countDownLatch = new CountDownLatch(N);

		//创建线程池
        ExecutorService cachedThreadPool = Executors.newCachedThreadPool();

        for (int i = 0; i < N; i++) {
            cachedThreadPool.execute(() ->{
                try {
                    System.out.println(Thread.currentThread().getName() + " do something!");
                } catch (Exception e) {
                    System.out.println("Exception: do something exception");
                } finally {
                    //该线程执行完毕-1
                    countDownLatch.countDown();
                }
            });
        }

        System.out.println("main thread do something-1");
        try {
            countDownLatch.await(countDownLatchTimeout, TimeUnit.MINUTES);
        } catch (InterruptedException e) {
            System.out.println("Exception: await interrupted exception");
        } finally {
            System.out.println("countDownLatch: " + countDownLatch.toString());
        }
        System.out.println("main thread do something-2");
        //若需要停止线程池可关闭;
//        cachedThreadPool.shutdown();

CountDownLatch常用方法

image.jpg

  • public void await() throws InterruptedException：调用await()方法的线程会被挂起，等待直到count值为0再继续执行。
  • public boolean await(long timeout, TimeUnit unit) throws InterruptedException：同await()，若等待timeout时长后，count值还是没有变为0，不再等待，继续执行。时间单位如下常用的毫秒、天、小时、微秒、分钟、纳秒、秒。
    image.jpg
  • public void countDown()： count值递减1.
  • public long getCount()：获取当前count值。
  • public String toString()：重写了toString()方法，多打印了count值，具体参考源码。

CountDownLatch使用场景

一个程序中有N个任务在执行，我们可以创建值为N的CountDownLatch，当每个任务完成后，调用一下countDown()方法进行递减count值，再在主线程中使用await()方法等待任务执行完成，主线程继续执行。

do something else 2
do work!
do work!
do work!
do work!
do work!
do work!
do work!
do work!
do work!
do work!
wait for all to finsh

从运行结果可以看出：

  1. 主线程先打印do something else 1和do something else 2。因为startSignal.countDown();完后，count才为0，子线程才能打印。
  2. 因为startSignal.await();是在子线程内，所有子线程都等待startSignal.countDown()执行后才能打印do work!。
  3. doneSignal.await();等待所有子线程执行后，每次都doneSignal.countDown()，最后count为0，主线程才执行打印wait for all to finsh。

i = 8, java.util.concurrent.CountDownLatch@128abd43[Count = 0]
do work!
i = 9, java.util.concurrent.CountDownLatch@128abd43[Count = 0]

从运行结果可以看出，主线程是等待其他线程运行了5次结束后就打印了do something else 2信息，因为CountDownLatch数值为5。
