java同步阻塞队列之DelayQueue实现原理，PriorityQueue原理

Posted 2022-02-11 Leo Han

DelayQueue是一种延迟队列，能够在指定的时间之后执行。其底层采用PriorityQueue作为底层数据结构。
在讲解DelayQueue之前，我们需要先讲解一下PriorityQueue。

PriorityQueue是一个优先级队列，在底层使用了一个可动态扩容的数组作为基础数据结构，实现了堆结构，默认是一个小顶堆。

public class PriorityQueue<E> extends AbstractQueue<E>
    implements java.io.Serializable 
   /**
     * Priority queue represented as a balanced binary heap: the two
     * children of queue[n] are queue[2*n+1] and queue[2*(n+1)].  The
     * priority queue is ordered by comparator, or by the elements'
     * natural ordering, if comparator is null: For each node n in the
     * heap and each descendant d of n, n <= d.  The element with the
     * lowest value is in queue[0], assuming the queue is nonempty.
     */
    transient Object[] queue; // non-private to simplify nested class access

    /**
     * The number of elements in the priority queue.
     */
    private int size = 0;
	

我们主要看下其入队和出队操作：

 public boolean offer(E e) 
        if (e == null)
            throw new NullPointerException();
        modCount++;
        int i = size;
        if (i >= queue.length)
            grow(i + 1);
        size = i + 1;
        if (i == 0)
            queue[0] = e;
        else
            siftUp(i, e);
        return true;
    
private void siftUp(int k, E x) 
        if (comparator != null)
            siftUpUsingComparator(k, x);
        else
            siftUpComparable(k, x);
    
private void siftUpComparable(int k, E x) 
        Comparable<? super E> key = (Comparable<? super E>) x;
        while (k > 0) 
            int parent = (k - 1) >>> 1;
            Object e = queue[parent];
            if (key.compareTo((E) e) >= 0)
                break;
            queue[k] = e;
            k = parent;
        
        queue[k] = key;
    

public E poll() 
        if (size == 0)
            return null;
        int s = --size;
        modCount++;
        E result = (E) queue[0];
        E x = (E) queue[s];
        queue[s] = null;
        if (s != 0)
            siftDown(0, x);
        return result;
    
private void siftDown(int k, E x) 
        if (comparator != null)
            siftDownUsingComparator(k, x);
        else
            siftDownComparable(k, x);
    
private void siftDownComparable(int k, E x) 
        Comparable<? super E> key = (Comparable<? super E>)x;
        int half = size >>> 1;        // loop while a non-leaf
        while (k < half) 
            int child = (k << 1) + 1; // assume left child is least
            Object c = queue[child];
            int right = child + 1;
            if (right < size &&
                ((Comparable<? super E>) c).compareTo((E) queue[right]) > 0)
                c = queue[child = right];
            if (key.compareTo((E) c) <= 0)
                break;
            queue[k] = c;
            k = child;
        
        queue[k] = key;
    

DelayQueue

DelayQueue的类声明结构如下

public class DelayQueue<E extends Delayed> extends AbstractQueue<E>
    implements BlockingQueue<E> 

表名其操作的元素必须是实现了Delayed接口的类，该接口声明如下：

public interface Delayed extends Comparable<Delayed> 
    long getDelay(TimeUnit unit);

可以看到，实现该接口还必须实现Comparable接口。

我们看下DelayQueue的出队和入队方法：

private final Condition available = lock.newCondition();
public E take() throws InterruptedException 
        final ReentrantLock lock = this.lock;
        lock.lockInterruptibly();
        try 
            for (;;) 
                E first = q.peek();
                if (first == null)
                    available.await();
                else 
                    long delay = first.getDelay(NANOSECONDS);
                    if (delay <= 0)
                        return q.poll();
                    first = null; // don't retain ref while waiting
                    if (leader != null)
                        available.await();
                    else 
                        Thread thisThread = Thread.currentThread();
                        leader = thisThread;
                        try 
                            available.awaitNanos(delay);
                         finally 
                            if (leader == thisThread)
                                leader = null;
                        
                    
                
            
         finally 
            if (leader == null && q.peek() != null)
                available.signal();
            lock.unlock();
        
    
    public boolean offer(E e) 
        final ReentrantLock lock = this.lock;
        lock.lock();
        try 
            q.offer(e);
            if (q.peek() == e) 
                leader = null;
                available.signal();
            
            return true;
         finally 
            lock.unlock();
        
    

DelayQueue内部只有一把锁以及一个该锁的条件等待。

当从队列中获取数据的时候，首先从PriorityQueue队列获取一个元素，如果该元素已经到期，那么直接返回该元素，如果该元素未到期，1. 当leader线程不为空时（这时候leader线程获取到了一个未到期的元素，但是leader线程只阻塞等待到该元素到期，到期之后就会被唤醒），那么当前线程阻塞等待，如果leader为空，表名当前没有线程去获取，那么当前线程先获取。

可以看到DelayQueue中并不是每个线程就一直等待，而是线程在获取元素之后（这时候已经获取到锁），如果元素需要一定时间才能到期，那么只让当前线程等待固定的时间就会唤醒当前线程，避免线程一直等待
