controlling the order of submitted futures
- by mac
In this example, i am submitting a few files to my comparator object. It all works fine, except that i noticed that order in which files are submitted is not always teh same order in which they are returned. Any suggestions on how i can better control this?
ExecutorService pool = Executors.newFixedThreadPool(5);
CompletionService<Properties> completion = new ExecutorCompletionService<Properties>(pool);
for (String target : p.getTargetFiles()) {
completion.submit(new PropertiesLoader(target, p));
}
for (@SuppressWarnings("unused")
String target : p.getTargetFiles()) {
Properties r = null;
try {
r = completion.take().get();
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (ExecutionException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
p.addTargetFilesProperties(r);
}
pool.shutdown();
