Overview

Note:

Failure to properly shutdown a thread pool can lead to unpredictable results. Please read Shutting Down Thread Pools for more information.

An abstraction composed of one or more threads and a task queue. Tasks (blocks or proc objects) are submitted to the pool and added to the queue. The threads in the pool remove the tasks and execute them in the order they were received.

A ThreadPoolExecutor will automatically adjust the pool size according to the bounds set by min-threads and max-threads. When a new task is submitted and fewer than min-threads threads are running, a new thread is created to handle the request, even if other worker threads are idle. If there are more than min-threads but less than max-threads threads running, a new thread will be created only if the queue is full.

Threads that are idle for too long will be garbage collected, down to the configured minimum options. Should a thread crash it, too, will be garbage collected.

ThreadPoolExecutor is based on the Java class of the same name. From the official Java documentation;

Thread pools address two different problems: they usually provide improved performance when executing large numbers of asynchronous tasks, due to reduced per-task invocation overhead, and they provide a means of bounding and managing the resources, including threads, consumed when executing a collection of tasks. Each ThreadPoolExecutor also maintains some basic statistics, such as the number of completed tasks.

To be useful across a wide range of contexts, this class provides many adjustable parameters and extensibility hooks. However, programmers are urged to use the more convenient Executors factory methods CachedThreadPool, FixedThreadPool and SingleThreadExecutor, that preconfigure settings for the most common usage scenarios.

Thread Pool Options

Thread pools support several configuration options:

  • idletime: The number of seconds that a thread may be idle before being reclaimed.
  • name: The name of the executor (optional). Printed in the executor's #to_s output and a <name>-worker-<id> name is given to its threads if supported by used Ruby implementation. <id> is uniq for each thread.
  • max_queue: The maximum number of tasks that may be waiting in the work queue at any one time. When the queue size reaches max_queue and no new threads can be created, subsequent tasks will be rejected in accordance with the configured fallback_policy.
  • auto_terminate: When true (default), the threads started will be marked as daemon.
  • fallback_policy: The policy defining how rejected tasks are handled.

Three fallback policies are supported:

  • :abort: Raise a RejectedExecutionError exception and discard the task.
  • :discard: Discard the task and return false.
  • :caller_runs: Execute the task on the calling thread.

Shutting Down Thread Pools

Killing a thread pool while tasks are still being processed, either by calling the #kill method or at application exit, will have unpredictable results. There is no way for the thread pool to know what resources are being used by the in-progress tasks. When those tasks are killed the impact on those resources cannot be predicted. The best practice is to explicitly shutdown all thread pools using the provided methods:

  • Call #shutdown to initiate an orderly termination of all in-progress tasks
  • Call #wait_for_termination with an appropriate timeout interval an allow the orderly shutdown to complete
  • Call #kill only when the thread pool fails to shutdown in the allotted time

On some runtime platforms (most notably the JVM) the application will not exit until all thread pools have been shutdown. To prevent applications from "hanging" on exit, all threads can be marked as daemon according to the :auto_terminate option.

pool1 = Concurrent::FixedThreadPool.new(5) # threads will be marked as daemon
pool2 = Concurrent::FixedThreadPool.new(5, auto_terminate: false) # mark threads as non-daemon

#wait_for_termination(timeout = nil) ⇒ Boolean

Note:

Does not initiate shutdown or termination. Either shutdown or kill must be called before this method (or on another thread).

Block until executor shutdown is complete or until timeout seconds have passed.

Parameters:

  • timeout (Integer) (defaults to: nil) —

    the maximum number of seconds to wait for shutdown to complete

Returns:

  • (Boolean) —

    true if shutdown complete or false on timeout
