/**
* A {@link java.util.Queue} that additionally supports operations
* that wait for the queue to become non-empty when retrieving an
* element, and wait for space to become available in the queue when
* storing an element.
*
* BlockingQueue是这样一种队列:在执行检索操作时,等待队列变为非空的时间内,允许执行一些额外的操作,
* 当存储一个元素时,等待队列中有空间释放出来。
*
* <p><tt>BlockingQueue</tt> methods come in four forms, with different ways
* of handling operations that cannot be satisfied immediately, but may be
* satisfied at some point in the future:
* one throws an exception, the second returns a special value (either
* <tt>null</tt> or <tt>false</tt>, depending on the operation), the third
* blocks the current thread indefinitely until the operation can succeed,
* and the fourth blocks for only a given maximum time limit before giving
* up. These methods are summarized in the following table:
* BlockingQueue的方法有四种形式:处理操作不会立刻返回,而是在未来一个时间点返回:
* 1.抛出异常
* 2.返回特殊值:null或者false
* 3.无限期阻塞,直到操作执行完成
* 4.经过一个最大的阻塞时间后放弃执行

* <p>A <tt>BlockingQueue</tt> does not accept <tt>null</tt> elements.
* Implementations throw <tt>NullPointerException</tt> on attempts
* to <tt>add</tt>, <tt>put</tt> or <tt>offer</tt> a <tt>null</tt>. A
* <tt>null</tt> is used as a sentinel value to indicate failure of
* <tt>poll</tt> operations.
*
* BlockingQueue不接受null元素。add,put,offer方法加入一个null值的时候会抛出NullPointerException。
* 当poll操作失败的时候,null作为一个标记被返回。
*
* <p>A <tt>BlockingQueue</tt> may be capacity bounded. At any given
* time it may have a <tt>remainingCapacity</tt> beyond which no
* additional elements can be <tt>put</tt> without blocking.
* A <tt>BlockingQueue</tt> without any intrinsic capacity constraints always
* reports a remaining capacity of <tt>Integer.MAX_VALUE</tt>.
*
* BlockingQueue是一个有界队列。在任何给定的时间,它可能有一个剩余的容量,
* 超过这个容量不会有其他元素无阻塞进入队列。
*
* <p> <tt>BlockingQueue</tt> implementations are designed to be used
* primarily for producer-consumer queues, but additionally support
* the {@link java.util.Collection} interface. So, for example, it is
* possible to remove an arbitrary element from a queue using
* <tt>remove(x)</tt>. However, such operations are in general
* <em>not</em> performed very efficiently, and are intended for only
* occasional use, such as when a queued message is cancelled.
*
* BlockingQueue的实现是为了用户生产者-消费者队列。因此可以用remove从队列中删除任意元素。
* 然而这些操作并不是很高效,并且只能偶尔使用,比如队列的消息被取消的时候使用。
*
* <p> <tt>BlockingQueue</tt> implementations are thread-safe. All
* queuing methods achieve their effects atomically using internal
* locks or other forms of concurrency control. However, the
* <em>bulk</em> Collection operations <tt>addAll</tt>,
* <tt>containsAll</tt>, <tt>retainAll</tt> and <tt>removeAll</tt> are
* <em>not</em> necessarily performed atomically unless specified
* otherwise in an implementation. So it is possible, for example, for
* <tt>addAll(c)</tt> to fail (throwing an exception) after adding
* only some of the elements in <tt>c</tt>.
*
* BlockingQueue的实现是线程安全的。队列中的所有的方法都是使用内部锁或者其他并发控制达到原子性。
* 然而,批量操作addAll,containsAl,retainAll和removeAll不一定是以原子方式执行,除非在实现中另有指定。
*
* <p>A <tt>BlockingQueue</tt> does <em>not</em> intrinsically support
* any kind of "close" or "shutdown" operation to
* indicate that no more items will be added. The needs and usage of
* such features tend to be implementation-dependent. For example, a
* common tactic is for producers to insert special
* <em>end-of-stream</em> or <em>poison</em> objects, that are
* interpreted accordingly when taken by consumers.
*
* BlockingQueue本质上不支持close或者shutdown这样的操作表明不能再向队列中加入元素。
* 这些需求和使用取决于具体的实现。一种常见的策略是生产者插入特殊的流结束或标记,并在消费者采取相应的解释时予以解释。
*
* <p>
* Usage example, based on a typical producer-consumer scenario.
* Note that a <tt>BlockingQueue</tt> can safely be used with multiple
* producers and multiple consumers.
* <pre>
* 使用范例,基于一个典型的生产者-消费者场景
* 注意:BlockingQueue可以被多个生产者和多个消费者安全的使用
*
* class Producer implements Runnable {
* private final BlockingQueue queue;
* Producer(BlockingQueue q) { queue = q; }
* public void run() {
* try {
* while (true) { queue.put(produce()); }
* } catch (InterruptedException ex) { ... handle ...}
* }
* Object produce() { ... }
* }
*
* class Consumer implements Runnable {
* private final BlockingQueue queue;
* Consumer(BlockingQueue q) { queue = q; }
* public void run() {
* try {
* while (true) { consume(queue.take()); }
* } catch (InterruptedException ex) { ... handle ...}
* }
* void consume(Object x) { ... }
* }
*
* class Setup {
* void main() {
* BlockingQueue q = new SomeQueueImplementation();
* Producer p = new Producer(q);
* Consumer c1 = new Consumer(q);
* Consumer c2 = new Consumer(q);
* new Thread(p).start();
* new Thread(c1).start();
* new Thread(c2).start();
* }
* }
* </pre>
*
* <p>Memory consistency effects: As with other concurrent
* collections, actions in a thread prior to placing an object into a
* {@code BlockingQueue}
* <a href="package-summary.html#MemoryVisibility"><i>happen-before</i></a>
* actions subsequent to the access or removal of that element from
* the {@code BlockingQueue} in another thread.
