Overview

A thread pool with a single thread an unlimited queue. Should the thread die for any reason it will be removed and replaced, thus ensuring that the executor will always remain viable and available to process jobs.

A common pattern for background processing is to create a single thread on which an infinite loop is run. The thread’s loop blocks on an input source (perhaps blocking I/O or a queue) and processes each input as it is received. This pattern has several issues. The thread itself is highly susceptible to errors during processing. Also, the thread itself must be constantly monitored and restarted should it die. ‘SingleThreadExecutor` encapsulates all these bahaviors. The task processor is highly resilient to errors from within tasks. Also, should the thread die it will automatically be restarted.

The API and behavior of this class are based on Java’s ‘SingleThreadExecutor`.

#wait_for_termination(timeout = nil) ⇒ Boolean

Note:

Does not initiate shutdown or termination. Either ‘shutdown` or `kill` must be called before this method (or on another thread).

Block until executor shutdown is complete or until ‘timeout` seconds have passed.

Parameters:

  • timeout (Integer) (defaults to: nil) —

    the maximum number of seconds to wait for shutdown to complete

Returns:

  • (Boolean) —

    ‘true` if shutdown complete or false on `timeout`
