Class TaskExecutor


  • public final class TaskExecutor
    extends Object
    Executor wrapper responsible for the execution of concurrent tasks. Used to parallelize search across segments as well as query rewrite in some cases. Exposes a single invokeAll(Collection) method that takes a collection of Callables and executes them concurrently/ Once all tasks are submitted to the executor, it blocks and wait for all tasks to be completed, and then returns a list with the obtained results. Ensures that the underlying executor is only used for top-level invokeAll(Collection) calls, and not for potential invokeAll(Collection) calls made from one of the tasks. This is to prevent deadlock with certain types of pool based executors (e.g. ThreadPoolExecutor).
    WARNING: This API is experimental and might change in incompatible ways in the next release.
