I'm looking for an ExecutorService implementation that can be provided with a timeout. Tasks that are submitted to the ExecutorService are interrupted if they take longer than the timeout to run. Implementing such a beast isn't such a difficult task, but I'm wondering if anybody knows of an existing implementation.
Here's what I came up with based on some of the discussion below. Any comments?
import java.util.List;
import java.util.concurrent.*;
public class TimeoutThreadPoolExecutor extends ThreadPoolExecutor {
private final long timeout;
private final TimeUnit timeoutUnit;
private final ScheduledExecutorService timeoutExecutor = Executors.newSingleThreadScheduledExecutor();
private final ConcurrentMap<Runnable, ScheduledFuture> runningTasks = new ConcurrentHashMap<Runnable, ScheduledFuture>();
public TimeoutThreadPoolExecutor(int corePoolSize, int maximumPoolSize, long keepAliveTime, TimeUnit unit, BlockingQueue<Runnable> workQueue, long timeout, TimeUnit timeoutUnit) {
super(corePoolSize, maximumPoolSize, keepAliveTime, unit, workQueue);
this.timeout = timeout;
this.timeoutUnit = timeoutUnit;
}
public TimeoutThreadPoolExecutor(int corePoolSize, int maximumPoolSize, long keepAliveTime, TimeUnit unit, BlockingQueue<Runnable> workQueue, ThreadFactory threadFactory, long timeout, TimeUnit timeoutUnit) {
super(corePoolSize, maximumPoolSize, keepAliveTime, unit, workQueue, threadFactory);
this.timeout = timeout;
this.timeoutUnit = timeoutUnit;
}
public TimeoutThreadPoolExecutor(int corePoolSize, int maximumPoolSize, long keepAliveTime, TimeUnit unit, BlockingQueue<Runnable> workQueue, RejectedExecutionHandler handler, long timeout, TimeUnit timeoutUnit) {
super(corePoolSize, maximumPoolSize, keepAliveTime, unit, workQueue, handler);
this.timeout = timeout;
this.timeoutUnit = timeoutUnit;
}
public TimeoutThreadPoolExecutor(int corePoolSize, int maximumPoolSize, long keepAliveTime, TimeUnit unit, BlockingQueue<Runnable> workQueue, ThreadFactory threadFactory, RejectedExecutionHandler handler, long timeout, TimeUnit timeoutUnit) {
super(corePoolSize, maximumPoolSize, keepAliveTime, unit, workQueue, threadFactory, handler);
this.timeout = timeout;
this.timeoutUnit = timeoutUnit;
}
@Override
public void shutdown() {
timeoutExecutor.shutdown();
super.shutdown();
}
@Override
public List<Runnable> shutdownNow() {
timeoutExecutor.shutdownNow();
return super.shutdownNow();
}
@Override
protected void beforeExecute(Thread t, Runnable r) {
if(timeout > 0) {
final ScheduledFuture<?> scheduled = timeoutExecutor.schedule(new TimeoutTask(t), timeout, timeoutUnit);
runningTasks.put(r, scheduled);
}
}
@Override
protected void afterExecute(Runnable r, Throwable t) {
ScheduledFuture timeoutTask = runningTasks.remove(r);
if(timeoutTask != null) {
timeoutTask.cancel(false);
}
}
class TimeoutTask implements Runnable {
private final Thread thread;
public TimeoutTask(Thread thread) {
this.thread = thread;
}
@Override
public void run() {
thread.interrupt();
}
}
}
You can use a ScheduledExecutorService for this. First you would submit it only once to begin immediately and retain the future that is created. After that you can submit a new task that would cancel the retained future after some period of time.
ScheduledExecutorService executor = Executors.newScheduledThreadPool(2);
final Future handler = executor.submit(new Callable(){ ... });
executor.schedule(new Runnable(){
public void run(){
handler.cancel();
}
}, 10000, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS);
This will execute your handler (main functionality to be interrupted) for 10 seconds, then will cancel (i.e. interrupt) that specific task.
