Wait until any of Future is done

Question

I have few asynchronous tasks running and I need to wait until at least one of them is finished (in the future probably I\'ll need to wait util M out of N tasks are finished). C

Answer 1

See this option:

public class WaitForAnyRedux {

private static final int POOL_SIZE = 10;

public static  T waitForAny(Collection collection) throws InterruptedException, ExecutionException {

    List> callables = new ArrayList>();
    for (final T t : collection) {
        Callable callable = Executors.callable(new Thread() {

            @Override
            public void run() {
                synchronized (t) {
                    try {
                        t.wait();
                    } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                    }
                }
            }
        }, t);
        callables.add(callable);
    }

    BlockingQueue queue = new ArrayBlockingQueue(POOL_SIZE);
    ExecutorService executorService = new ThreadPoolExecutor(POOL_SIZE, POOL_SIZE, 0, TimeUnit.SECONDS, queue);
    return executorService.invokeAny(callables);
}

static public void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException, ExecutionException {

    final List integers = new ArrayList();
    for (int i = 0; i < POOL_SIZE; i++) {
        integers.add(i);
    }

    (new Thread() {
        public void run() {
            Integer notified = null;
            try {
                notified = waitForAny(integers);
            } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            } catch (ExecutionException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
            System.out.println("notified=" + notified);
        }

    }).start();


    synchronized (integers) {
        integers.wait(3000);
    }


    Integer randomInt = integers.get((new Random()).nextInt(POOL_SIZE));
    System.out.println("Waking up " + randomInt);
    synchronized (randomInt) {
        randomInt.notify();
    }
  }
}
