Interface WorkerExecutor

All Superinterfaces:

Measured

public interface WorkerExecutor
extends Measured

An executor for executing blocking code in Vert.x .

It provides the same executeBlocking operation than Context and Vertx but on a separate worker pool.

Method Detail

executeBlocking

<T> void executeBlocking(Handler<Future<T>> blockingCodeHandler,
                         boolean ordered,
                         Handler<AsyncResult<T>> resultHandler)

Safely execute some blocking code.

Executes the blocking code in the handler blockingCodeHandler using a thread from the worker pool.

When the code is complete the handler resultHandler will be called with the result on the original context (e.g. on the original event loop of the caller).

A Future instance is passed into blockingCodeHandler. When the blocking code successfully completes, the handler should call the Future.complete(T) or Future.complete(Object) method, or the Future.fail(java.lang.Throwable) method if it failed.

In the blockingCodeHandler the current context remains the original context and therefore any task scheduled in the blockingCodeHandler will be executed on the this context and not on the worker thread.

Type Parameters:

T - the type of the result

Parameters:

blockingCodeHandler - handler representing the blocking code to run

resultHandler - handler that will be called when the blocking code is complete

ordered - if true then if executeBlocking is called several times on the same context, the executions for that context will be executed serially, not in parallel. if false then they will be no ordering guarantees

executeBlocking

default <T> void executeBlocking(Handler<Future<T>> blockingCodeHandler,
                                 Handler<AsyncResult<T>> resultHandler)

Like executeBlocking(Handler, boolean, Handler) called with ordered = true.

close

default void close()

Close the executor.
