ScheduledExecutorService
An executor service to schedule tasks for execution after a delay or for repeated execution with a fixed interval of time in between each execution. You can configure the number of threads in the executor service and how the executor service is stopped.
The ScheduledExecutorService is shared by all downstream components that use
an executor service.
Usage
{
"name": string,
"type": "ScheduledExecutorService",
"config": {
"corePoolSize": configuration expression<number>,
"gracefulStop": configuration expression<boolean>,
"gracePeriod": configuration expression<duration>
}
}Properties
"corePoolSize": configuration expression<number>, optional-
The minimum number of threads to keep in the pool. If this property is an expression, the expression is evaluated as soon as the configuration is read.
The value must be an integer greater than zero.
Default: 1
"gracefulStop": configuration expression<boolean>, optional-
Defines how the executor service stops.
If true, the executor service does the following:
-
Blocks the submission of new jobs.
-
If a grace period is defined, waits for up to that maximum time for submitted and running jobs to finish.
-
Removes submitted jobs without running them.
-
Attempts to end running jobs.
If false, the executor service does the following:
-
Blocks the submission of new jobs.
-
If a grace period is defined, ignores it.
-
Removes submitted jobs without running them.
-
Attempts to end running jobs.
Default: true
-
"gracePeriod": configuration expression<duration>, optional-
The maximum time that the executor service waits for running jobs to finish before it stops. If this property is an expression, the expression is evaluated as soon as the configuration is read.
If all jobs finish before the grace period, the executor service stops without waiting any longer. If jobs are still running after the grace period, the executor service removes the scheduled tasks, and notifies the running tasks for interruption.
When
gracefulStopisfalse, the grace period is ignored.Default: 10 seconds
Example
The following example creates a thread pool to execute tasks. When the executor service is instructed to stop, it blocks the submission of new jobs, and waits for up to 10 seconds for submitted and running jobs to complete before it stops. If any jobs are still submitted or running after 10 seconds, the executor service stops anyway and prints a message.
