Interface TransferQueue<E>

Type Parameters:

E - the type of elements held in this collection

All Superinterfaces:

BlockingQueue<E>, Collection<E>, Iterable<E>, Queue<E>

@Deprecated
public interface TransferQueue<E>
extends BlockingQueue<E>

Deprecated.

A BlockingQueue in which producers may wait for consumers to receive elements. A TransferQueue may be useful for example in message passing applications in which producers sometimes (using method transfer) await receipt of elements by consumers invoking take or poll, while at other times enqueue elements (via method put) without waiting for receipt. Non-blocking and time-out versions of tryTransfer are also available. A TransferQueue may also be queried via hasWaitingConsumer whether there are any threads waiting for items, which is a converse analogy to a peek operation.

Like any BlockingQueue, a TransferQueue may be capacity bounded. If so, an attempted transfer operation may initially block waiting for available space, and/or subsequently block waiting for reception by a consumer. Note that in a queue with zero capacity, such as SynchronousQueue, put and transfer are effectively synonymous.

This interface is a member of the Java Collections Framework.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
int	getWaitingConsumerCount()	Deprecated. Returns an estimate of the number of consumers waiting to dequeue elements via take or poll.
boolean	hasWaitingConsumer()	Deprecated. Returns true if there is at least one consumer waiting to dequeue an element via take or poll.
void	transfer(E e)	Deprecated. Inserts the specified element into this queue, waiting if necessary for space to become available and the element to be dequeued by a consumer invoking take or poll.
boolean	tryTransfer(E e)	Deprecated. Transfers the specified element if there exists a consumer already waiting to receive it, otherwise returning false without enqueuing the element.
boolean	tryTransfer(E e, long timeout, TimeUnit unit)	Deprecated. Inserts the specified element into this queue, waiting up to the specified wait time if necessary for space to become available and the element to be dequeued by a consumer invoking take or poll.

Method Details

tryTransfer

boolean tryTransfer(E e)

Deprecated.

Transfers the specified element if there exists a consumer already waiting to receive it, otherwise returning false without enqueuing the element.

Parameters:

e - the element to transfer

Returns:

true if the element was transferred, else false

Throws:

ClassCastException - if the class of the specified element prevents it from being added to this queue

NullPointerException - if the specified element is null

IllegalArgumentException - if some property of the specified element prevents it from being added to this queue

transfer

void transfer(E e)
       throws InterruptedException

Deprecated.

Inserts the specified element into this queue, waiting if necessary for space to become available and the element to be dequeued by a consumer invoking take or poll.

Parameters:

e - the element to transfer

Throws:

InterruptedException - if interrupted while waiting, in which case the element is not enqueued.

ClassCastException - if the class of the specified element prevents it from being added to this queue

NullPointerException - if the specified element is null

IllegalArgumentException - if some property of the specified element prevents it from being added to this queue

tryTransfer

boolean tryTransfer(E e,
 long timeout,
 TimeUnit unit)
             throws InterruptedException

Deprecated.

Inserts the specified element into this queue, waiting up to the specified wait time if necessary for space to become available and the element to be dequeued by a consumer invoking take or poll.

Parameters:

e - the element to transfer

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 completion, in which case the element is not enqueued.

Throws:

InterruptedException - if interrupted while waiting, in which case the element is not enqueued.

ClassCastException - if the class of the specified element prevents it from being added to this queue

NullPointerException - if the specified element is null

IllegalArgumentException - if some property of the specified element prevents it from being added to this queue

hasWaitingConsumer

boolean hasWaitingConsumer()

Deprecated.

Returns true if there is at least one consumer waiting to dequeue an element via take or poll. The return value represents a momentary state of affairs.

Returns:

true if there is at least one waiting consumer

getWaitingConsumerCount

int getWaitingConsumerCount()

Deprecated.

Returns an estimate of the number of consumers waiting to dequeue elements via take or poll. The return value is an approximation of a momentary state of affairs, that may be inaccurate if consumers have completed or given up waiting. The value may be useful for monitoring and heuristics, but not for synchronization control. Implementations of this method are likely to be noticeably slower than those for hasWaitingConsumer().

Returns:

the number of consumers waiting to dequeue elements
