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         


        

Answer 1

This is what I ended up doing:

int NUM_THREADS = 6;
Semaphore lock = new Semaphore(NUM_THREADS);
ExecutorService pool = Executors.newCachedThreadPool();

for (int i = 0; i < 100000; i++) {
    try {
        lock.acquire();
    } catch (InterruptedException e) {
        throw new RuntimeException(e);
    }
    pool.execute(() -> {
        try {
            // Task logic
        } finally {
            lock.release();
        }
    });
}
