ThreadPoolExecutor Block When Queue Is Full?

Question

I am trying to execute lots of tasks using a ThreadPoolExecutor. Below is a hypothetical example:

def workQueue = new ArrayBlockingQueue(3, f

What you need to do is to wrap your ThreadPoolExecutor into Executor which explicitly limits amount of concurrently executed operations inside it:

 private static class BlockingExecutor implements Executor {

    final Semaphore semaphore;
    final Executor delegate;

    private BlockingExecutor(final int concurrentTasksLimit, final Executor delegate) {
        semaphore = new Semaphore(concurrentTasksLimit);
        this.delegate = delegate;
    }

    @Override
    public void execute(final Runnable command) {
        try {
            semaphore.acquire();
        } catch (InterruptedException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
            return;
        }

        final Runnable wrapped = () -> {
            try {
                command.run();
            } finally {
                semaphore.release();
            }
        };

        delegate.execute(wrapped);

    }
}

You can adjust concurrentTasksLimit to the threadPoolSize + queueSize of your delegate executor and it will pretty much solve your problem
