This Java tutorial is to learn about the concurrent collection SynchronousQueue. It is an implementation of BlockingQueue. Among all Java concurrent collections, SynchronousQueue is different. Capacity of a synchrounous queue is always zero. It is because in SynchronousQueue an insert will wait for a remove operation by another thread and vice versa.
- put() call to a SynchronousQueue will not return until there is a corresponding take() call.
- peek is not possible with a SynchronousQueue
- As there is no element iteration is also not possible.
- Insert is not possible if there is a thread trying to remove it.
- SynchronousQueue should be imagined like a baton in a relay race.
- If there are more than one thread waiting for a removal so that they can do insert then with fairness set to true, threads are granted access in FIFO order.
- SynchronousQueue is the default BlockingQueue used for the Executors.newCachedThreadPool() methods.
SynchronousQueue Example
Let us have a look at a producer-consumer based example to understand the SynchronousQueue.
SynchronousQueueProducer.java
package com.javapapers.java.collections;
import java.util.Random;
import java.util.UUID;
import java.util.concurrent.BlockingQueue;
public class SynchronousQueueProducer implements Runnable {
protected BlockingQueue<String> blockingQueue;
final Random random = new Random();
public SynchronousQueueProducer(BlockingQueue<String> queue) {
this.blockingQueue = queue;
}
@Override
public void run() {
while (true) {
try {
String data = UUID.randomUUID().toString();
System.out.println("Put: " + data);
blockingQueue.put(data);
Thread.sleep(1000);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
}
SynchronousQueueConsumer.java
package com.javapapers.java.collections;
import java.util.concurrent.BlockingQueue;
public class SynchronousQueueConsumer implements Runnable {
protected BlockingQueue<String> blockingQueue;
public SynchronousQueueConsumer(BlockingQueue<String> queue) {
this.blockingQueue = queue;
}
@Override
public void run() {
while (true) {
try {
String data = blockingQueue.take();
System.out.println(Thread.currentThread().getName()
+ " take(): " + data);
Thread.sleep(2000);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
}
SynchronousQueueExample.java
package com.javapapers.java.collections;
import java.util.concurrent.BlockingQueue;
import java.util.concurrent.SynchronousQueue;
public class SynchronousQueueExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
final BlockingQueue<String> synchronousQueue = new SynchronousQueue<String>();
SynchronousQueueProducer queueProducer = new SynchronousQueueProducer(
synchronousQueue);
new Thread(queueProducer).start();
SynchronousQueueConsumer queueConsumer1 = new SynchronousQueueConsumer(
synchronousQueue);
new Thread(queueConsumer1).start();
SynchronousQueueConsumer queueConsumer2 = new SynchronousQueueConsumer(
synchronousQueue);
new Thread(queueConsumer2).start();
}
}
