Interface TaskManager

All Known Implementing Classes:
TaskManagerImpl

public interface TaskManager
The TaskManager contains a collection of tasks that are long running. It schedules them to run at its discretion, but it does try to run them as soon as possible, assuming there is sufficient resources available.

Tasks are described operationally by TaskDescriptor.

NOTE: All task descriptors returned are a snapshot of the task state when the method returns. So while the task may finish, the TaskDescriptor will not be updated to reflect that. You must always re-ask the TaskManager for a new TaskDescriptor to find out if a task has finished or not.

Since:
v3.13
  • Method Details

    • getAllTasks

      Collection<TaskDescriptor<?>> getAllTasks()
      Return a collection of TaskDescriptors currently within the manager. This will include tasks that are yet to start, tasks that are running and completed tasks.

      The returned collection is sorted by task id, which should be in addition order.

      Returns:
      a collection of TaskDescriptors. The descriptors returned are a snapshot of each task state when the method returns will not reflect any future changes. An empty collection is returned when there are no current tasks.
    • getLiveTasks

      Collection<TaskDescriptor<?>> getLiveTasks()
      Return a collection of submitted or running TaskDescriptors in the manager.

      The returned collection is sorted by task id, which should be in addition order.

      Returns:
      a collection of running TaskDescriptors. The descriptors returned are a snapshot of each task state when the method returns and will not reflect any future changes. An empty collection is returned when there are no descriptors to return.
    • getLiveTask

      <V extends Serializable> TaskDescriptor<V> getLiveTask(@Nonnull TaskContext taskContext)
      Return the live task associated with the passed context, if one exists.
      Parameters:
      taskContext - the context to search for.
      Returns:
      currently live task associated with the passed context. The descriptor returned is a snapshot of the task state when the method returns will not reflect any future changes. null will be returned when no matching task can be found.
    • getTask

      <V extends Serializable> TaskDescriptor<V> getTask(Long taskId)
      Returns the TaskDescriptor of the task that is identified by the passed id.
      Parameters:
      taskId - the id of the task to retrieve, if null then null will be returned
      Returns:
      a TaskDescriptor or null if the manager has not such task. The descriptor returned is a snapshot of the task state when the method returns will not reflect any future changes. null will be returned when no matching task can be found.
    • submitTask

      <V extends Serializable> TaskDescriptor<V> submitTask(@Nonnull Callable<V> callable, @Nonnull String taskDescription, @Nonnull TaskContext taskContext) throws RejectedExecutionException, AlreadyExecutingException
      This submits a Callable task to the manager which can then be started at the managers discretion, but hopefully very soon. The TaskDescriptor returned is a snapshot of the task's state when the method returns and will not change to reflect the task's future state changes. The task's ID can be found in the returned TaskDescriptor. The task is not cancellable.
      Parameters:
      callable - the long running task
      taskDescription - the description of the task
      taskContext - some stateful context that the task knows about
      Returns:
      a TaskDescriptor for the new long running task. The returned descriptor is a snapshot of the task state when the method returns and will not reflect any future changes.
      Throws:
      RejectedExecutionException - if the task manager is being shutdown and cannot accept new tasks.
      AlreadyExecutingException - if a task with an equal TaskContext is already running in the task manager.
    • submitTask

      <V extends Serializable> TaskDescriptor<V> submitTask(@Nonnull Callable<V> callable, @Nonnull String taskDescription, @Nonnull TaskContext taskContext, boolean cancellable) throws RejectedExecutionException, AlreadyExecutingException
      This submits a Callable task to the manager which can then be started at the managers discretion, but hopefully very soon. The TaskDescriptor returned is a snapshot of the task's state when the method returns and will not change to reflect the task's future state changes. The task's ID can be found in the returned TaskDescriptor.
      Parameters:
      callable - the long running task
      taskDescription - the description of the task
      taskContext - some stateful context that the task knows about
      cancellable - If set to true indicates that this potentially long running task supports being cancelled.
      Returns:
      a TaskDescriptor for the new long running task. The returned descriptor is a snapshot of the task state when the method returns and will not reflect any future changes.
      Throws:
      RejectedExecutionException - if the task manager is being shutdown and cannot accept new tasks.
      AlreadyExecutingException - if a task with an equal TaskContext is already running in the task manager.

    • submitTask

      <V extends Serializable> TaskDescriptor<V> submitTask(@Nonnull Callable<V> callable, @Nonnull String taskDescription, @Nonnull TaskContext taskContext, boolean cancellable, @Nullable SpanningOperation spanningOperation) throws RejectedExecutionException, AlreadyExecutingException
      This submits a Callable task to the manager which can then be started at the managers discretion, but hopefully very soon. The TaskDescriptor returned is a snapshot of the task's state when the method returns and will not change to reflect the task's future state changes. The task's ID can be found in the returned TaskDescriptor.
      Parameters:
      callable - the long running task
      taskDescription - the description of the task
      taskContext - some stateful context that the task knows about
      cancellable - If set to true indicates that this potentially long running task supports being cancelled.
      spanningOperation - Operation that this task is part of
      Returns:
      a TaskDescriptor for the new long running task. The returned descriptor is a snapshot of the task state when the method returns and will not reflect any future changes.
      Throws:
      RejectedExecutionException - if the task manager is being shutdown and cannot accept new tasks.
      AlreadyExecutingException - if a task with an equal TaskContext is already running in the task manager.

    • removeTask

      void removeTask(@Nonnull Long taskId)
      Remove a task from the manager. The task will still continue to execute if it has not already completed.
      Parameters:
      taskId - the task identifier.
    • cancelTask

      void cancelTask(@Nonnull Long taskId) throws IllegalStateException
      Cancel a running task. If the task is not running this message is a no-op.

      timeout - the maximum time to wait for a graceful shutdown.
      unit - the time unit of the timeout argument.
      Returns:
      true if the underlying execution threads have terminated completely.
