Class CyclicTimeouts<T extends CyclicTimeouts.Expirable>
- Type Parameters:
T
- theCyclicTimeouts.Expirable
entity type
- All Implemented Interfaces:
Destroyable
An implementation of a timeout that manages many expirable
entities whose
timeouts are mostly cancelled or re-scheduled.
A typical scenario is for a parent entity to manage the timeouts of many children entities.
When a new entity is created, call schedule(Expirable)
with the new entity so that
this instance can be aware and manage the timeout of the new entity.
Eventually, this instance wakes up and iterates over the entities provided by iterator()
.
During the iteration, each entity:
- may never expire (see
CyclicTimeouts.Expirable.getExpireNanoTime()
; the entity is ignored - may be expired;
onExpired(Expirable)
is called with that entity as parameter - may expire at a future time; the iteration records the earliest expiration time among all non-expired entities
When the iteration is complete, this instance is re-scheduled with the earliest expiration time calculated during the iteration.

Method Details
-
iterator
- Returns:
- the entities to iterate over when this instance expires
-
onExpired
Invoked during the iteration when the given entity is expired.
This method may be invoked multiple times, and even concurrently, for the same expirable entity and therefore the expiration of the entity, if any, should be an idempotent action.
When
false
is returned, the implementation should adjust theCyclicTimeouts.Expirable
expiration, so that a call toCyclicTimeouts.Expirable.getExpireNanoTime()
after this method has returned yields a new expiration nanoTime.- Parameters:
expirable
- the entity that is expired- Returns:
- whether the entity should be removed from the iterator via
Iterator.remove()
-
schedule
Manages the timeout of a new entity.
- Parameters:
expirable
- the new entity to manage the timeout for
