java.util.concurrent.LinkedBlockingQueue<E>

java.lang.Object
java.util.AbstractCollection<E> Collection<E>
java.util.AbstractQueue<E> Queue<E>
java.util.concurrent.LinkedBlockingQueue<E> Serializable BlockingQueue<E>

An optionally-bounded blocking queue based on linked nodes. This queue orders elements FIFO (first-in-first-out). The head of the queue is that element that has been on the queue the longest time. The tail of the queue is that element that has been on the queue the shortest time. New elements are inserted at the tail of the queue, and the queue retrieval operations obtain elements at the head of the queue. Linked queues typically have higher throughput than array-based queues but less predictable performance in most concurrent applications.

The optional capacity bound constructor argument serves as a way to prevent excessive queue expansion. The capacity, if unspecified, is equal to MAX_VALUE. Linked nodes are dynamically created upon each insertion unless this would bring the queue above capacity.

This class implements all of the optional methods of the Collection and Iterator interfaces.

Removes the first occurrence of the specified object from this Collection.
          int  size()
Returns the number of elements in this queue.
          take()
Retrieves and removes the head of this queue, waiting if no elements are present on this queue.
        <T>  T[]  toArray(T[] a)
Returns an array containing all elements contained in this Collection.

Details

Public Constructors

public LinkedBlockingQueue()

Creates a LinkedBlockingQueue with a capacity of MAX_VALUE.

public LinkedBlockingQueue(int capacity)

Creates a LinkedBlockingQueue with the given (fixed) capacity.

Parameters

capacity the capacity of this queue.

Throws

IllegalArgumentException if capacity is not greater than zero.

public LinkedBlockingQueue(Collection<? extends E> c)

Creates a LinkedBlockingQueue with a capacity of MAX_VALUE, initially containing the elements of the given collection, added in traversal order of the collection's iterator.

Parameters

c the collection of elements to initially contain

Throws

NullPointerException if c or any element within it is null

Public Methods

public void clear()

Removes all elements of the queue.

public int drainTo(Collection<? super E> c, int maxElements)

Removes at most the given number of available elements from this queue and adds them into the given collection. A failure encountered while attempting to add elements to collection c may result in elements being in neither, either or both collections when the associated exception is thrown. Attempts to drain a queue to itself result in IllegalArgumentException. Further, the behavior of this operation is undefined if the specified collection is modified while the operation is in progress.

public int drainTo(Collection<? super E> c)

Removes all available elements from this queue and adds them into the given collection. This operation may be more efficient than repeatedly polling this queue. A failure encountered while attempting to add elements to collection c may result in elements being in neither, either or both collections when the associated exception is thrown. Attempts to drain a queue to itself result in IllegalArgumentException. Further, the behavior of this operation is undefined if the specified collection is modified while the operation is in progress.

public Iterator<E> iterator()

Returns an iterator over the elements in this queue in proper sequence. The returned Iterator is a "weakly consistent" iterator that will never throw ConcurrentModificationException, and guarantees to traverse elements as they existed upon construction of the iterator, and may (but is not guaranteed to) reflect any modifications subsequent to construction.

Returns

  • an iterator over the elements in this queue in proper sequence.

public boolean offer(E o, long timeout, TimeUnit unit)

Inserts the specified element at the tail of this queue, waiting if necessary up to the specified wait time for space to become available.

Parameters

o the element to add
timeout how long to wait before giving up, in units of unit
unit a TimeUnit determining how to interpret the timeout parameter

Returns

  • true if successful, or false if the specified waiting time elapses before space is available.

Throws

InterruptedException if interrupted while waiting.
NullPointerException if the specified element is null.

public boolean offer(E o)

Inserts the specified element at the tail of this queue if possible, returning immediately if this queue is full.

Parameters

o the element to add.

Returns

  • true if it was possible to add the element to this queue, else false

Throws

NullPointerException if the specified element is null

public E peek()

Gets but not removes the element in the head of the queue, or throws exception if there is no element in the queue.

public E poll(long timeout, TimeUnit unit)

Retrieves and removes the head of this queue, waiting if necessary up to the specified wait time if no elements are present on this queue.

public E poll()

Gets and removes the element in the head of the queue, or returns null if there is no element in the queue.

public void put(E o)

Adds the specified element to the tail of this queue, waiting if necessary for space to become available.

Parameters

o the element to add

Throws

InterruptedException if interrupted while waiting.
NullPointerException if the specified element is null.

public int remainingCapacity()

Returns the number of elements that this queue can ideally (in the absence of memory or resource constraints) accept without blocking. This is always equal to the initial capacity of this queue less the current size of this queue.

Note that you cannot always tell if an attempt to add an element will succeed by inspecting remainingCapacity because it may be the case that a waiting consumer is ready to take an element out of an otherwise full queue.

Returns

  • the remaining capacity

public boolean remove(Object o)

Removes the first occurrence of the specified object from this Collection. This operation traverses over the collection, looking for the specified object. Once the object is found, the object will be removed from the collection using the iterator's remove method. This collection will throw an UnsupportedOperationException if the iterator returned does not implement remove method, and the specified object is in this collection.

Parameters

o the object to remove

Returns

  • true if this Collection is modified, false otherwise

public int size()

Returns the number of elements in this queue.

Returns

  • the number of elements in this queue.

public E take()

Retrieves and removes the head of this queue, waiting if no elements are present on this queue.

public T[] toArray(T[] a)

Returns an array containing all elements contained in this Collection. If the specified array is large enough to hold the elements, the specified array is used, otherwise an array of the same type is created. If the specified array is used and is larger than this Collection, the array element following the collection elements is set to null.

Parameters

a the array

Returns

  • an array of the elements from this Collection

public Object[] toArray()

Returns a new array containing all elements contained in this Collection. All the elements in the array will not be referenced by the collection. The elements in the returned array will be sorted to the same order as those returned by the iterator of this collection itself if the collection guarantees the order.

Returns

  • an array of the elements from this Collection

public String toString()

Returns the string representation of this Collection. The presentation has a specific format. It is enclosed by square brackets ("[]"). Elements are separated by ', ' (comma and space).

Returns

  • the string representation of this Collection
