I tried the custom ForkJoinPool as follows to adjust the pool size:
private static Set ThreadNameSet = new HashSet<>();
private static Callable getSum() {
List aList = LongStream.rangeClosed(0, 10_000_000).boxed().collect(Collectors.toList());
return () -> aList.parallelStream()
.peek((i) -> {
String threadName = Thread.currentThread().getName();
ThreadNameSet.add(threadName);
})
.reduce(0L, Long::sum);
}
private static void testForkJoinPool() {
final int parallelism = 10;
ForkJoinPool forkJoinPool = null;
Long result = 0L;
try {
forkJoinPool = new ForkJoinPool(parallelism);
result = forkJoinPool.submit(getSum()).get(); //this makes it an overall blocking call
} catch (InterruptedException | ExecutionException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
if (forkJoinPool != null) {
forkJoinPool.shutdown(); //always remember to shutdown the pool
}
}
out.println(result);
out.println(ThreadNameSet);
}
Here is the output that says the pool is using more threads than the default 4 .
50000005000000
[ForkJoinPool-1-worker-8, ForkJoinPool-1-worker-9, ForkJoinPool-1-worker-6, ForkJoinPool-1-worker-11, ForkJoinPool-1-worker-10, ForkJoinPool-1-worker-1, ForkJoinPool-1-worker-15, ForkJoinPool-1-worker-13, ForkJoinPool-1-worker-4, ForkJoinPool-1-worker-2]
But there is actually a weirdo when I tried to get the same result using ThreadPoolExecutor
as follows:
BlockingDeque blockingDeque = new LinkedBlockingDeque(1000);
ThreadPoolExecutor fixedSizePool = new ThreadPoolExecutor(10, 20, 60, TimeUnit.SECONDS, blockingDeque, new MyThreadFactory("my-thread"));
but I failed.
It will only start parallelStream in a new thread and then everything else is the same, that again it shows that parallelStream
will use ForkJoinPool to start its child threads.
