Drains the queue as BlockingQueue.drainTo(Collection, int), but if the requested numElements elements are not available, it will wait for them up to the specified timeout.

Parameters:

q - the blocking queue to be drained

buffer - where to add the transferred elements

numElements - the number of elements to be waited for

timeout - how long to wait before giving up, in units of unit

unit - a TimeUnit determining how to interpret the timeout parameter

Returns:

Throws:

InterruptedException - if interrupted while waiting

Drains the queue as drain(BlockingQueue, Collection, int, long, TimeUnit), but with a different behavior in case it is interrupted while waiting. In that case, the operation will continue as usual, and in the end the thread's interruption status will be set (no InterruptedException is thrown).

Parameters:

q - the blocking queue to be drained

buffer - where to add the transferred elements

numElements - the number of elements to be waited for

timeout - how long to wait before giving up, in units of unit

unit - a TimeUnit determining how to interpret the timeout parameter

Returns:

the number of elements transferred

synchronizedQueue

public static <E> Queue<E> synchronizedQueue(Queue<E> queue)

Returns a synchronized (thread-safe) queue backed by the specified queue. In order to guarantee serial access, it is critical that all access to the backing queue is accomplished through the returned queue.

It is imperative that the user manually synchronize on the returned queue when accessing the queue's iterator:

 Queue<E> queue = Queues.synchronizedQueue(MinMaxPriorityQueue.<E>create());
 ...
 queue.add(element);  // Needn't be in synchronized block
 ...
 synchronized (queue) {  // Must synchronize on queue!
   Iterator<E> i = queue.iterator(); // Must be in synchronized block
   while (i.hasNext()) {
     foo(i.next());
   }
 }
 

Failure to follow this advice may result in non-deterministic behavior.

The returned queue will be serializable if the specified queue is serializable.

Parameters:

queue - the queue to be wrapped in a synchronized view

Returns:

a synchronized view of the specified queue

Since:

14.0

synchronizedDeque

public static <E> Deque<E> synchronizedDeque(Deque<E> deque)

Returns a synchronized (thread-safe) deque backed by the specified deque. In order to guarantee serial access, it is critical that all access to the backing deque is accomplished through the returned deque.

It is imperative that the user manually synchronize on the returned deque when accessing any of the deque's iterators:

 Deque<E> deque = Queues.synchronizedDeque(Queues.<E>newArrayDeque());
 ...
 deque.add(element);  // Needn't be in synchronized block
 ...
 synchronized (deque) {  // Must synchronize on deque!
   Iterator<E> i = deque.iterator(); // Must be in synchronized block
   while (i.hasNext()) {
     foo(i.next());
   }
 }
 

Failure to follow this advice may result in non-deterministic behavior.

The returned deque will be serializable if the specified deque is serializable.

Parameters:

deque - the deque to be wrapped in a synchronized view

Returns:

a synchronized view of the specified deque

Since:

15.0
