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.");
    }

}

当前回答

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

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....");



     }
  }

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。

As mentioned in JavaDoc (https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/util/concurrent/CountDownLatch.html), CountDownLatch is a synchronization aid, introduced in Java 5. Here the synchronization does not mean restricting access to a critical section. But rather sequencing actions of different threads. The type of synchronization achieved through CountDownLatch is similar to that of Join. Assume that there is a thread "M" which needs to wait for other worker threads "T1", "T2", "T3" to complete its tasks Prior to Java 1.5, the way this can be done is, M running the following code

    T1.join();
    T2.join();
    T3.join();

上面的代码确保线程M在T1、T2、T3完成它的工作之后恢复它的工作。T1, T2, T3可以按任意顺序完成它们的工作。 同样可以通过CountDownLatch实现,其中T1、T2、T3和线程M共享相同的CountDownLatch对象。 "M"请求:countDownLatch.await(); 其中“T1”,“T2”,“T3”是countDownLatch.countdown();

连接方法的一个缺点是M必须知道T1、T2、T3。如果后来添加了一个新的工作线程T4,那么M也必须知道它。使用CountDownLatch可以避免这种情况。 实现后的动作顺序为[T1,T2,T3](T1,T2,T3的顺序可以任意)-> [M]

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

是的,你理解对了。 CountDownLatch的工作原理是闩锁,主线程将等待门被打开。一个线程等待n个线程,这是在创建CountDownLatch时指定的。

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达到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就绪后调用CountDownLatch.countDown()进行倒计时。

只要count达到0,等待线程就会继续。CountDownLatch的一个缺点/优点是它不可重用:一旦count达到0,就不能再使用CountDownLatch了。

编辑:

当一个线程(如主线程)需要等待一个或多个线程完成后才能继续处理时,使用CountDownLatch。

在Java中使用CountDownLatch的一个经典示例是一个服务器端核心Java应用程序,该应用程序使用服务体系结构,其中多个服务由多个线程提供,在所有服务成功启动之前应用程序不能开始处理。

注: OP的问题有一个非常简单的例子,所以我没有包括一个。
