Come creare un caricatore in background di blocco in Java 8?

Domanda

Come si crea un caricatore di background appropriato in Java 8? Le condizioni:

• i dati devono essere caricati in background
• dopo il caricamento devono essere visualizzati i dati
• mentre i dati vengono caricati, non è necessario accettare ulteriori richieste
• in caso di richieste durante il caricamento dei dati, è necessario programmare un altro caricamento dopo un determinato timeout (ad es. 5 secondi)

Lo scopo è, ad esempio, far accettare le richieste di ricaricamento, ma non il database è invaso dalle richieste.

MCVE

Ecco un MCVE. Consiste in un'attività in background che simula il caricamento semplicemente invocando Thread.sleep per 2 secondi. L'attività è pianificata ogni secondo, il che porta naturalmente a una sovrapposizione delle attività di caricamento in background, che dovrebbe essere evitata.

public class LoadInBackgroundExample {

  /**
   * A simple background task which should perform the data loading operation. In this minimal example it simply invokes Thread.sleep
   */
  public static class BackgroundTask implements Runnable {

    private int id;

    public BackgroundTask(int id) {
      this.id = id;
    }

    /**
     * Sleep for a given amount of time to simulate loading.
     */
    @Override
    public void run() {

      try {

        System.out.println("Start #" + id + ": " + Thread.currentThread());

        long sleepTime = 2000; 
        Thread.sleep( sleepTime);

      } catch (InterruptedException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
      } finally {
        System.out.println("Finish #" + id + ": " + Thread.currentThread());
      }

    }
  }

  /**
   * CompletableFuture which simulates loading and showing data.
   * @param taskId Identifier of the current task
   */
  public static void loadInBackground( int taskId) {

    // create the loading task
    BackgroundTask backgroundTask = new BackgroundTask( taskId);

    // "load" the data asynchronously
    CompletableFuture<String> completableFuture = CompletableFuture.supplyAsync(new Supplier<String>() {

      @Override
      public String get() {

        CompletableFuture<Void> future = CompletableFuture.runAsync(backgroundTask);

        try {

          future.get();

        } catch (InterruptedException | ExecutionException e) {
          e.printStackTrace();
        }

        return "task " + backgroundTask.id;
      }
    });

    // display the data after they are loaded
    CompletableFuture<Void> future = completableFuture.thenAccept(x -> {

      System.out.println( "Background task finished:" + x);

    });

  }


  public static void main(String[] args) {

    // runnable which invokes the background loader every second
    Runnable trigger = new Runnable() {

      int taskId = 0;

      public void run() { 

        loadInBackground( taskId++);

      }
    };

    // create scheduler
    ScheduledExecutorService scheduler = Executors.newScheduledThreadPool(1);
    ScheduledFuture<?> beeperHandle = scheduler.scheduleAtFixedRate(trigger, 0, 1, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

    // cancel the scheudler and the application after 10 seconds
    scheduler.schedule(() -> beeperHandle.cancel(true), 10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

    try {
      beeperHandle.get();
    } catch (Throwable th) {
    }

    System.out.println( "Cancelled");
    System.exit(0);
  }

}

L'output è questo:

Start #0: Thread[ForkJoinPool.commonPool-worker-2,5,main]
Start #1: Thread[ForkJoinPool.commonPool-worker-4,5,main]

Start #10: Thread[ForkJoinPool.commonPool-worker-2,5,main]
Finish #8: Thread[ForkJoinPool.commonPool-worker-6,5,main]

Cancelled

L'obiettivo è saltare, ad esempio, il numero 1 e il numero 2 perché il numero 0 è ancora in esecuzione.

Problema

Dove imposti correttamente il meccanismo di blocco? Si dovrebbe usare la sincronizzazione? O alcuni AtomicBoolean? E se è così, dovrebbe essere all'interno del get()metodo o altrove?

Hai già un threadpool per eseguire l'attività. Non è necessariamente complicato eseguire l'attività in un altro esecutore asincrono ( ForkJoinPoolquando si utilizza CompletableFuture)

Falla semplice:

public static void loadInBackground(int taskId) {
    // create the loading task
    BackgroundTask backgroundTask = new BackgroundTask(taskId);
    // No need to run in async, as it already in executor
    backgroundTask.run();
}

ScheduledExecutorService garantirà l'esecuzione di una sola attività alla volta quando è stata invocata con scheduleAtFixedRate

Crea ed esegue un'azione periodica che viene abilitata prima dopo il dato ritardo iniziale e successivamente con il periodo dato; ovvero le esecuzioni inizieranno dopo initialDelay quindi initialDelay + period, quindi initialDelay + 2 * period e così via. Se qualsiasi esecuzione dell'attività incontra un'eccezione, le esecuzioni successive vengono eliminate. In caso contrario, l'attività verrà terminata solo tramite annullamento o risoluzione dell'esecutore. Se l'esecuzione di questa attività richiede più tempo del suo periodo, le esecuzioni successive potrebbero iniziare in ritardo, ma non verranno eseguite contemporaneamente .

Prendendo i seguenti requisiti:

• i dati devono essere caricati in background
• dopo il caricamento devono essere visualizzati i dati
• mentre i dati vengono caricati, non è necessario accettare ulteriori richieste
• in caso di richieste durante il caricamento dei dati, è necessario programmare un altro caricamento dopo un determinato timeout (ad es. 5 secondi)

La soluzione può essere costruita sulla base di Executors.newSingleThreadExecutor(), CompletableFuturee LinkedBlockingQueue:

public class SingleThreadedLoader {

  private static class BackgroundTask extends CompletableFuture<String> {

    private final String query;

    private BackgroundTask(String query) {
      this.query = query;
    }

    public String getQuery() {
      return query;
    }
  }

  private final BlockingQueue<BackgroundTask> tasks = new LinkedBlockingQueue<>();
  // while data are loaded no further requests should be accepted
  private final Executor executor = Executors.newSingleThreadExecutor();

  private final int delaySeconds;

  private AtomicReference<Instant> lastExecution = new AtomicReference<>(Instant.EPOCH);

  public SingleThreadedLoader(int delaySeconds) {
    this.delaySeconds = delaySeconds;
    setupLoading();
  }

  public BackgroundTask loadInBackground(String query) {
    log("Enqueued query " + query);
    BackgroundTask task = new BackgroundTask(query);
    tasks.add(task);
    return task;
  }

  private void setupLoading() {
    // data should be loaded in background
    executor.execute(() -> {
      while (true) {
        try {
          // if there were requests while the data were loaded
          // another loading should be scheduled after a certain timeout (e. g. 5 seconds)
          Instant prev = lastExecution.get();
          long delay = Duration.between(prev, Instant.now()).toSeconds();
          if (delay < delaySeconds) {
            log("Waiting for 5 seconds before next data loading");
            TimeUnit.SECONDS.sleep(delaySeconds - delay);
          }
          BackgroundTask task = tasks.take();
          try {
            String query = task.getQuery();
            String data = loadData(query);
            task.complete(data);
          } catch (Exception e) {
            task.completeExceptionally(e);
          }
          lastExecution.set(Instant.now());
        } catch (InterruptedException e) {
          log(e.getMessage());
          return;
        }
      }
    });
  }

  private String loadData(String query) {
    try {
      log("Loading data for " + query);
      TimeUnit.SECONDS.sleep(2);
      log("Loaded data for " + query);
      return "Result " + query;
    } catch (InterruptedException e) {
      throw new RuntimeException(e);
    }
  }

  private static void log(String str) {
    String time = LocalTime.now().truncatedTo(ChronoUnit.SECONDS).format(DateTimeFormatter.ISO_TIME);
    String thread = Thread.currentThread().getName();
    System.out.println(time + ' ' + thread + ": " + str);
  }

  public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
    SingleThreadedLoader loader = new SingleThreadedLoader(5);
    // after the loading the data should be displayed
    loader.loadInBackground("1").thenAccept(SingleThreadedLoader::log);
    loader.loadInBackground("2").thenAccept(SingleThreadedLoader::log);
    loader.loadInBackground("3").thenAccept(SingleThreadedLoader::log);

    log("Do another work in the main thread");

    TimeUnit.SECONDS.sleep(30);
  }
}

Dopo l'esecuzione, lo stdout avrà il seguente output:

10:29:26 main: Enqueued query 1
10:29:26 pool-1-thread-1: Loading data for 1
10:29:26 main: Enqueued query 2
10:29:26 main: Enqueued query 3
10:29:26 main: Do another work in the main thread
10:29:28 pool-1-thread-1: Loaded data for 1
10:29:28 pool-1-thread-1: Result 1
10:29:28 pool-1-thread-1: Waiting for 5 seconds before next data loading
10:29:33 pool-1-thread-1: Loading data for 2
10:29:36 pool-1-thread-1: Loaded data for 2
10:29:36 pool-1-thread-1: Result 2
10:29:36 pool-1-thread-1: Waiting for 5 seconds before next data loading
10:29:41 pool-1-thread-1: Loading data for 3
10:29:43 pool-1-thread-1: Loaded data for 3
10:29:43 pool-1-thread-1: Result 3

Ho aggiunto un AtomicInteger che fungerà da contatore per l'esecuzione di attività con semplici metodi lock () e unlock () con questa piccola modifica nel codice originale che ho ottenuto output:

Start #0: Thread[ForkJoinPool.commonPool-worker-2,5,main]
background task cancelled  1
background task cancelled  2
Finish #0: Thread[ForkJoinPool.commonPool-worker-2,5,main]
Background task finished:task 0
Start #3: Thread[ForkJoinPool.commonPool-worker-2,5,main]
background task cancelled  4
Finish #3: Thread[ForkJoinPool.commonPool-worker-2,5,main]
background task cancelled  5
Background task finished:task 3
Start #6: Thread[ForkJoinPool.commonPool-worker-3,5,main]
background task cancelled  7
Finish #6: Thread[ForkJoinPool.commonPool-worker-3,5,main]
background task cancelled  8
Background task finished:task 6
Start #9: Thread[ForkJoinPool.commonPool-worker-2,5,main]
background task cancelled  10
Cancelled

AGGIORNARE

Ho modificato i metodi lock () e unlock () in una forma più semplice:

private static  AtomicBoolean atomicBoolean = new AtomicBoolean(false);
        private void unlock() {
            atomicBoolean.set(false);
        }
        private void lock() {
            //if 'changed' is false that means some other task is already running
            boolean changed = atomicBoolean.compareAndSet(false,true);
            if (!changed) {
                throw new AlreadyIsRunningException("Some other task  is already running", id);
            }
        }

Se hai capito che hai diverse attività in background contemporaneamente. poiché queste attività stanno svolgendo esattamente lo stesso lavoro che non si desidera eseguire in parallelo, è necessaria un'attività per terminare il lavoro e condividerne i risultati con altri. Quindi, se ottieni 10 CompletableFuturesimultaneamente, vuoi che uno di essi chiami "ricaricare" in db e condividi i risultati dell'esecuzione con gli altri in modo che tutto CompletableFuturesi completi normalmente con il risultato. Presumo questo da

L'obiettivo è saltare, ad esempio, il numero 1 e il numero 2 perché il numero 0 è ancora in esecuzione.

e

dopo il caricamento devono essere visualizzati i dati

se le mie ipotesi sono corrette, puoi provare la mia soluzione.

Ho una sorta di relazione genitore-figlio tra le attività. il compito principale è quello che sta davvero facendo il suo lavoro e condivide i risultati ottenuti con i suoi figli. l'attività figlio è un'attività che è stata aggiunta mentre l'attività padre era ancora in esecuzione, l'attività figlio attende fino a quando l'attività padre non termina la sua esecuzione. Poiché i risultati dell'attività dei genitori sono ancora "freschi", vengono copiati in ogni bambino e tutti completano il loro futuro.

Ho provato una soluzione usando un doppio interruttore Thread, vedi classe BackgroundTaskDualSwitch, simula il caricamento usando il CompletableFuture. L'idea è di attendere una seconda attività fino al completamento dell'attività attualmente in esecuzione, vedere change in BackgroundTask. Ciò garantisce che sia in esecuzione un massimo di thread di attività e che sia in corso un massimo di attività. Ulteriori richieste vengono ignorate fino al completamento dell'attività in esecuzione e diventano "gratuite" per gestire la richiesta successiva.

public static class BackgroundTask extends Thread {

  private int id;
  private Thread pendingTask;

  public BackgroundTask(int id) {
    this.id = id;
  }

  public BackgroundTask(int id, Thread pendingTask) {
    this(id);
    this.pendingTask = pendingTask;
  }

  /**
   * Sleep for a given amount of time to simulate loading.
   */
  @Override
  public void run() {

    try {

      if (pendingTask != null && pendingTask.isAlive()) {
        pendingTask.join();
      }

      System.out.println("Start #" + id + ": " + Thread.currentThread());
      ...
    }
  }

public static class BackgroundTaskDualSwitch {

  private static BackgroundTask task1;
  private static BackgroundTask task2;

  public static synchronized boolean runTask(int taskId) {
    if (! isBusy(task1)) {
      if (isBusy(task2)) {
        task1 = new BackgroundTask(taskId, task2);
      } else {
        task1 = new BackgroundTask(taskId);
      }
      runAsync(task1);
      return true;
    } else if (! isBusy(task2)) {
      if (isBusy(task1)) {
        task2 = new BackgroundTask(taskId, task1);
      } else {
        task2 = new BackgroundTask(taskId);
      }
      runAsync(task2);
      return true;
    } else {
      return false; // SKIPPED
    }
  }

  private static void runAsync(BackgroundTask task) {
    CompletableFuture<String> completableFuture = CompletableFuture.supplyAsync(new Supplier<String>() {

      @Override
      public String get() {

        try {
          task.start();
          task.join();
        }
        catch (InterruptedException e) {
          e.printStackTrace();
        }
        return "task " + task.id;
      }
    });

    // display the data after they are loaded
    CompletableFuture<Void> future = completableFuture.thenAccept(x -> {

      System.out.println( "Background task finished:" + x); 

    });
  }

  private static boolean isBusy(BackgroundTask task) {
    return task != null && task.isAlive();
  }
}

/**
 * Simulates loading and showing data.
 * @param taskId Identifier of the current task
 */
public static void loadInBackground(int taskId) {

  // create the loading task
  if (! BackgroundTaskDualSwitch.runTask(taskId)) {
    System.out.println( "Background task ignored:task " + taskId); // SKIPPED
  }
}
...

Il primo thread che inizia a fare il lavoro costoso notificherà con una richiamata il risultato. Altri thread che tentano di eseguirlo verranno registrati in ExpensiveWork.notificables, quindi una volta terminato il lavoro costoso il thread che ha eseguito il lavoro li notificherà.

Nel frattempo i thread controllano il risultato ogni 5 secondi.
