Class AbstractScheduledService

java.lang.Object
dev.mccue.guava.concurrent.AbstractScheduledService
All Implemented Interfaces:
Service

public abstract class AbstractScheduledService extends Object implements Service
Base class for services that can implement #startUp and #shutDown but while in the "running" state need to perform a periodic task. Subclasses can implement #startUp, #shutDown and also a #runOneIteration method that will be executed periodically.

This class uses the ScheduledExecutorService returned from #executor to run the #startUp and #shutDown methods and also uses that service to schedule the #runOneIteration that will be executed periodically as specified by its Scheduler. When this service is asked to stop via #stopAsync it will cancel the periodic task (but not interrupt it) and wait for it to stop before running the #shutDown method.

Subclasses are guaranteed that the life cycle methods (#runOneIteration, #startUp and #shutDown) will never run concurrently. Notably, if any execution of #runOneIteration takes longer than its schedule defines, then subsequent executions may start late. Also, all life cycle methods are executed with a lock held, so subclasses can safely modify shared state without additional synchronization necessary for visibility to later executions of the life cycle methods.

Usage Example

Here is a sketch of a service which crawls a website and uses the scheduling capabilities to rate limit itself.


 class CrawlingService extends AbstractScheduledService {
   private Set<Uri> visited;
   private Queue<Uri> toCrawl;
   protected void startUp() throws Exception {
     toCrawl = readStartingUris();
   }

   protected void runOneIteration() throws Exception {
     Uri uri = toCrawl.remove();
     Collection<Uri> newUris = crawl(uri);
     visited.add(uri);
     for (Uri newUri : newUris) {
       if (!visited.contains(newUri)) { toCrawl.add(newUri); }
     }
   }

   protected void shutDown() throws Exception {
     saveUris(toCrawl);
   }

   protected Scheduler scheduler() {
     return Scheduler.newFixedRateSchedule(0, 1, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
   }
 }
 

This class uses the life cycle methods to read in a list of starting URIs and save the set of outstanding URIs when shutting down. Also, it takes advantage of the scheduling functionality to rate limit the number of queries we perform.

  • Method Details

    • runOneIteration

      protected abstract void runOneIteration() throws Exception
      Run one iteration of the scheduled task. If any invocation of this method throws an exception, the service will transition to the Service.State#FAILED state and this method will no longer be called.
      Throws:
      Exception
    • startUp

      protected void startUp() throws Exception
      Start the service.

      By default this method does nothing.

      Throws:
      Exception
    • shutDown

      protected void shutDown() throws Exception
      Stop the service. This is guaranteed not to run concurrently with #runOneIteration.

      By default this method does nothing.

      Throws:
      Exception
    • scheduler

      protected abstract AbstractScheduledService.Scheduler scheduler()
      Returns the Scheduler object used to configure this service. This method will only be called once.
    • executor

      protected ScheduledExecutorService executor()
      Returns the ScheduledExecutorService that will be used to execute the #startUp, #runOneIteration and #shutDown methods. If this method is overridden the executor will not be ScheduledExecutorService#shutdown shutdown when this service Service.State#TERMINATED terminates or Service.State#TERMINATED fails. Subclasses may override this method to supply a custom ScheduledExecutorService instance. This method is guaranteed to only be called once.

      By default this returns a new ScheduledExecutorService with a single thread pool that sets the name of the thread to the #serviceName() service name. Also, the pool will be ScheduledExecutorService#shutdown() shut down when the service Service.State#TERMINATED terminates or Service.State#TERMINATED fails.

    • serviceName

      protected String serviceName()
      Returns the name of this service. AbstractScheduledService may include the name in debugging output.

    • addListener

      public final void addListener(Service.Listener listener, Executor executor)
      Description copied from interface: Service
      Registers a Listener to be Executor#execute executed on the given executor. The listener will have the corresponding transition method called whenever the service changes state. The listener will not have previous state changes replayed, so it is suggested that listeners are added before the service starts.

      addListener guarantees execution ordering across calls to a given listener but not across calls to multiple listeners. Specifically, a given listener will have its callbacks invoked in the same order as the underlying service enters those states. Additionally, at most one of the listener's callbacks will execute at once. However, multiple listeners' callbacks may execute concurrently, and listeners may execute in an order different from the one in which they were registered.

      RuntimeExceptions thrown by a listener will be caught and logged. Any exception thrown during Executor.execute (e.g., a RejectedExecutionException) will be caught and logged.

      Specified by:
      addListener in interface Service
      Parameters:
      listener - the listener to run when the service changes state is complete
      executor - the executor in which the listeners callback methods will be run. For fast, lightweight listeners that would be safe to execute in any thread, consider MoreExecutors#directExecutor.

      @CanIgnoreReturnValue public final Service stopAsync()
      Description copied from interface: Service
