Thread pool with bounded queue

Question

I have seen the thread pool executor implementation and the rejected execution policies that it provides. However, I have a custom requirement - I want to have a call back mecha

Answer 1

I want to have a call back mechanism where in I get notifications when the queue size limit is reached...

I wouldn't subclass the executor but I would subclass the BlockingQueue that is used by the executor. Something like the following should work. There are race conditions in the code around the checkUnsaturated() if you remove an entry and someone puts one back in. You might have to synchronize on the queue if these need to be perfect. Also, I have no idea what methods the executor implementations use so you might not need to override some of these.

public class ObservableBlockingQueue extends LinkedBlockingQueue {
     private ISaturatedPoolObserver observer;
     private int capacity;
     public ObservableBlockingQueue(ISaturatedPoolObserver observer,
         int capacity) {
         super(capacity);
         this.observer = observer;
         this.capacity = capacity;
    }
    @Override
    public boolean offer(E o) {
        boolean offered = super.offer(o);
        if (!offered) {
            observer.onSaturated();
        }
        return offered;
    }
    @Override
    public boolean offer(E o, long timeout, TimeUnit unit) throws InterruptedException {
        boolean offered = super.offer(o, timeout, unit);
        if (!offered) {
            observer.onSaturated();
        }
        return offered;
    }
    @Override
    public E poll() {
        E e = super.poll();
        if (e != null) {
             checkUnsaturated();
        }
        return e;
    }
    @Override
    public E poll(long timeout, TimeUnit unit) throws InterruptedException {
        E e = super.poll(timeout, unit);
        if (e != null) {
             checkUnsaturated();
        }
        return e;
    }
    @Override
    public E take() throws InterruptedException {
        E e = super.take();
        checkUnsaturated();
        return e;
    }
    @Override
    public boolean remove(E e) throws InterruptedException {
        boolean removed = super.remove(e);
        if (removed) {
            checkUnsaturated();
        }
        return removed;
    }
    private void checkUnsaturated() {
        if (super.size() * 100 / capacity < UNSATURATED_PERCENTAGE) {
            observer.onUnsaturated();
        }
    }
}
