有人能帮助我理解什么是Java CountDownLatch以及什么时候使用它吗?

我不太清楚这个项目是怎么运作的。据我所知,这三个线程同时开始,每个线程将在3000ms后调用CountDownLatch。所以倒数会一个一个递减。锁存变为零后,程序打印“完成”。也许我理解的方式是错误的。

import java.util.concurrent.CountDownLatch;
import java.util.concurrent.ExecutorService;
import java.util.concurrent.Executors;

class Processor implements Runnable {
    private CountDownLatch latch;

    public Processor(CountDownLatch latch) {
        this.latch = latch;
    }

    public void run() {
        System.out.println("Started.");

        try {
            Thread.sleep(3000);
        } catch (InterruptedException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

        latch.countDown();
    }
}

// -----------------------------------------------------

public class App {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        CountDownLatch latch = new CountDownLatch(3); // coundown from 3 to 0

        ExecutorService executor = Executors.newFixedThreadPool(3); // 3 Threads in pool

        for(int i=0; i < 3; i++) {
            executor.submit(new Processor(latch)); // ref to latch. each time call new Processes latch will count down by 1
        }

        try {
            latch.await();  // wait until latch counted down to 0
        } catch (InterruptedException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

        System.out.println("Completed.");
    }

}

NikolaB解释得很好,但是举例有助于理解,所以这里有一个简单的例子…

 import java.util.concurrent.*;


  public class CountDownLatchExample {

  public static class ProcessThread implements Runnable {

    CountDownLatch latch;
    long workDuration;
    String name;

    public ProcessThread(String name, CountDownLatch latch, long duration){
        this.name= name;
        this.latch = latch;
        this.workDuration = duration;
    }


    public void run() {
        try {
            System.out.println(name +" Processing Something for "+ workDuration/1000 + " Seconds");
            Thread.sleep(workDuration);
        } catch (InterruptedException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        System.out.println(name+ "completed its works");
        //when task finished.. count down the latch count...

        // basically this is same as calling lock object notify(), and object here is latch
        latch.countDown();
    }
}


public static void main(String[] args) {
    // Parent thread creating a latch object
    CountDownLatch latch = new CountDownLatch(3);

    new Thread(new ProcessThread("Worker1",latch, 2000)).start(); // time in millis.. 2 secs
    new Thread(new ProcessThread("Worker2",latch, 6000)).start();//6 secs
    new Thread(new ProcessThread("Worker3",latch, 4000)).start();//4 secs


    System.out.println("waiting for Children processes to complete....");
    try {
        //current thread will get notified if all chidren's are done 
        // and thread will resume from wait() mode.
        latch.await();
    } catch (InterruptedException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

    System.out.println("All Process Completed....");

    System.out.println("Parent Thread Resuming work....");



     }
  }

package practice;

import java.util.concurrent.CountDownLatch;

public class CountDownLatchExample {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {
        CountDownLatch c= new CountDownLatch(3);  // need to decrements the count (3) to zero by calling countDown() method so that main thread will wake up after calling await() method 
        Task t = new Task(c);
        Task t1 = new Task(c);
        Task t2 = new Task(c);
        t.start();
        t1.start();
        t2.start();
        c.await(); // when count becomes zero main thread will wake up 
        System.out.println("This will print after count down latch count become zero");
    }
}

class Task extends Thread{
    CountDownLatch c;

    public Task(CountDownLatch c) {
        this.c = c;
    }

    @Override
    public void run() {
        try {
            System.out.println(Thread.currentThread().getName());
            Thread.sleep(1000);
            c.countDown();   // each thread decrement the count by one 
        } catch (InterruptedException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

CountDownLatch在Java中是一种同步器,它允许一个线程在开始处理之前等待一个或多个线程。

CountDownLatch工作在闩锁原理,线程将等待直到门打开。在创建CountDownLatch时,一个线程等待指定的n个线程。

例如:final CountDownLatch = new CountDownLatch(3);

这里我们将计数器设置为3。

任何调用CountDownLatch.await()的线程(通常是应用程序的主线程)都将等待,直到count为零或被另一个线程中断。所有其他线程都需要在完成或准备工作后调用CountDownLatch.countDown()来进行倒计时。一旦count达到0,等待的线程就开始运行。

这里的计数是通过CountDownLatch.countDown()方法递减的。

调用await()方法的线程将一直等待,直到初始计数为零。

为了使计数为零,其他线程需要调用countDown()方法。 一旦计数为零,调用await()方法的线程将恢复(开始执行)。

CountDownLatch的缺点是它不可重用:一旦计数为零,它就不再可用。

这个来自Java Doc的例子帮助我清楚地理解了这些概念:

class Driver { // ...
  void main() throws InterruptedException {
    CountDownLatch startSignal = new CountDownLatch(1);
    CountDownLatch doneSignal = new CountDownLatch(N);

    for (int i = 0; i < N; ++i) // create and start threads
      new Thread(new Worker(startSignal, doneSignal)).start();

    doSomethingElse();            // don't let run yet
    startSignal.countDown();      // let all threads proceed
    doSomethingElse();
    doneSignal.await();           // wait for all to finish
  }
}

class Worker implements Runnable {
  private final CountDownLatch startSignal;
  private final CountDownLatch doneSignal;
  Worker(CountDownLatch startSignal, CountDownLatch doneSignal) {
     this.startSignal = startSignal;
     this.doneSignal = doneSignal;
  }
  public void run() {
     try {
       startSignal.await();
       doWork();
       doneSignal.countDown();
     } catch (InterruptedException ex) {} // return;
  }

  void doWork() { ... }
}

视觉解释:

显然,CountDownLatch允许一个线程(这里是Driver)等待一堆正在运行的线程(这里是Worker)完成它们的执行。

  public class CountDownLatchExample {

  public static class ProcessThread implements Runnable {

    CountDownLatch latch;

        this.name= name;
        this.latch = latch;
        this.workDuration = duration;

    new Thread(new ProcessThread("Worker2",latch, 6000)).start();//6 secs
    new Thread(new ProcessThread("Worker3",latch, 4000)).start();//4 secs


    System.out.println("waiting for Children processes to complete....");
    try {
        //current thread will get notified if all chidren's are done 
        // and thread will resume from wait() mode.
        latch.await();
    } catch (InterruptedException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

    System.out.println("All Process Completed....");

    System.out.println("Parent Thread Resuming work....");



     }
  }

CoundDownLatch使您能够让一个线程等待所有其他线程执行完毕。

伪代码可以是:

// Main thread starts
// Create CountDownLatch for N threads
// Create and start N threads
// Main thread waits on latch
// N threads completes there tasks are returns
// Main thread resume execution
