Java并发编程实践：Callable异步回调Future、FutureTask用法

Callable接口类似于Runnable，从名字就可以看出来了，但是Runnable不会返回结果，并且无法抛出返回结果的异常，而Callable功能更强大一些，被线程执行后，可以返回值，这个返回值可以被Future拿到。FutureTask实现了两个接口，Runnable和Future，所以它既可以作为Runnable被线程执行，又可以作为Future得到Callable的返回值，那么这个组合的使用有什么好处呢？假设有一个很耗时的返回值需要计算，并且这个返回值不是立刻需要的话，那么就可以使用这个组合，用另一个线程去计算返回值，而当前线程在使用这个返回值之前可以做其它的操作，等到需要这个返回值时，再通过Future得到。

Future特性

需要明确一点：java.util.concurrent.Future 是一个异步回调接口。

/**
* A <tt>Future</tt> represents the result of an asynchronous
* computation. Methods are provided to check if the computation is
* complete, to wait for its completion, and to retrieve the result of
* the computation. The result can only be retrieved using method
* <tt>get</tt> when the computation has completed, blocking if
* necessary until it is ready. Cancellation is performed by the
* <tt>cancel</tt> method. Additional methods are provided to
* determine if the task completed normally or was cancelled. Once a
* computation has completed, the computation cannot be cancelled.
* If you would like to use a <tt>Future</tt> for the sake
* of cancellability but not provide a usable result, you can
* declare types of the form {@code Future<?>} and
* return <tt>null</tt> as a result of the underlying task.
*
* <p>
* <b>Sample Usage</b> (Note that the following classes are all
* made-up.) <p>
* <pre> {@code
* interface ArchiveSearcher { String search(String target); }
* class App {
* ExecutorService executor = ...
* ArchiveSearcher searcher = ...
* void showSearch(final String target)
* throws InterruptedException {
* Future<String> future
* = executor.submit(new Callable<String>() {
* public String call() {
* return searcher.search(target);
* }});
* displayOtherThings(); // do other things while searching
* try {
* displayText(future.get()); // use future
* } catch (ExecutionException ex) { cleanup(); return; }
* }
* }}</pre>
*
* The {@link FutureTask} class is an implementation of <tt>Future</tt> that
* implements <tt>Runnable</tt>, and so may be executed by an <tt>Executor</tt>.
* For example, the above construction with <tt>submit</tt> could be replaced by:
* <pre> {@code
* FutureTask<String> future =
* new FutureTask<String>(new Callable<String>() {
* public String call() {
* return searcher.search(target);
* }});
* executor.execute(future);}</pre>
*
* <p>Memory consistency effects: Actions taken by the asynchronous computation
* <a href="package-summary.html#MemoryVisibility"> <i>happen-before</i></a>
* actions following the corresponding {@code Future.get()} in another thread.
*
* @see FutureTask
* @see Executor
* @since 1.5
* @author Doug Lea
* @param <V> The result type returned by this Future's <tt>get</tt> method
*/

* this task should never run. If the task has already started,
* then the <tt>mayInterruptIfRunning</tt> parameter determines
* whether the thread executing this task should be interrupted in
* an attempt to stop the task.
*
* <p>After this method returns, subsequent calls to {@link #isDone} will
