java.util.concurrent 之Executors

java.util.concurrent.Executor

, 

java.util.concurrent.ExecutorService

, 

java.util.concurrent.
Executors

 这三者均是 Java Executor 框架的一部分，用来提供线程池的功能。因为创建和管理线程非常心累，并且操作系统通常对线程数有限制，所以建议使用线程池来并发执行任务，而不是每次请求进来时创建一个线程。使用线程池不仅可以提高应用的响应时间，还可以避免

"java.lang.OutOfMemoryError:
unable to create new native thread"

 之类的错误。

在 Java 1.5 时，开发者需要关心线程池的创建和管理，但在 Java 1.5 之后 Executor 框架提供了多种内置的线程池,例如：FixedThreadPool(包含固定数目的线程)，CachedThreadPool(可根据需要创建新的线程)等等。

为什么要用线程池:
减少了创建和销毁线程的次数，每个工作线程都可以被重复利用，可执行多个任务
可以根据系统的承受能力，调整线程池中工作线线程的数目，防止因为因为消耗过多的内存
Excutors主要方法：

newCachedThreadPool() ：创建一个
ExecutorService，该 ExecutorService 根据需要来创建线程，可以重复利用已存在的线程来执行任务。

newFixedThreadPool(int
numberOfThreads) ：创建一个可重复使用的、固定线程数量的 ExecutorService。

newScheduledThreadPool(int
corePoolSize)：根据时间计划，延迟给定时间后创建 ExecutorService（或者周期性地创建 ExecutorService）。

newSingleThreadExecutor()：创建单个工作线程
ExecutorService。

newSingleThreadScheduledExecutor()：根据时间计划延迟创建单个工作线程
ExecutorService（或者周期性的创建）。

newWorkStealingPool()：创建一个拥有多个任务队列（以便减少连接数）的
ExecutorService。

Executor vs ExecutorService vs Executors

正如上面所说，这三者均是 Executor 框架中的一部分。Java 开发者很有必要学习和理解他们，以便更高效的使用 Java 提供的不同类型的线程池。总结一下这三者间的区别，以便大家更好的理解：

Executor 和 ExecutorService 这两个接口主要的区别是：ExecutorService 接口继承了 Executor 接口，是 Executor 的子接口

Executor 和 ExecutorService 第二个区别是：Executor 接口定义了 

execute()

方法用来接收一个

Runnable

接口的对象，而
ExecutorService 接口中的 

submit()

方法可以接受

Runnable

和

Callable

接口的对象。

Executor 和 ExecutorService 接口第三个区别是 Executor 中的 

execute()

 方法不返回任何结果，而
ExecutorService 中的 

submit()

方法可以通过一个
Future 对象返回运算结果。

Executor 和 ExecutorService 接口第四个区别是除了允许客户端提交一个任务，ExecutorService 还提供用来控制线程池的方法。比如：调用 

shutDown()

 方法终止线程池。可以通过 《Java
Concurrency in Practice》 一书了解更多关于关闭线程池和如何处理 pending 的任务的知识。

Executors 类提供工厂方法用来创建不同类型的线程池。比如: 

newSingleThreadExecutor()

 创建一个只有一个线程的线程池，

newFixedThreadPool(int
numOfThreads)

来创建固定线程数的线程池，

newCachedThreadPool()

可以根据需要创建新的线程，但如果已有线程是空闲的会重用已有线程。
