I have declared a BlockingQueue of size 1
final BlockingQueue<Integer> blockingQueue = new ArrayBlockingQueue<Integer>(1);
.
But I am able to add more than 1 element into the queue. I am sure I am missing something in this like this is the core property of BlockingQueue. Here is the code from java docs.
/**
* Creates an {@code ArrayBlockingQueue} with the given (fixed)
* capacity and default access policy.
*
* @param capacity the capacity of this queue
* @throws IllegalArgumentException if {@code capacity < 1}
*/
public ArrayBlockingQueue(int capacity) {
this(capacity, false);
}
But when I am implementing I am able to produce more than 1 element, according to me if the size of the BlockingQueue is 1 then after producing 1 element it should wait for the consumer to consume the element. Here is the code and the output of the code.
I need an explanation for this, can you please help me with this.
I have tried google search and StackOverflow with no success.
import java.util.concurrent.ArrayBlockingQueue;
import java.util.concurrent.BlockingQueue;
import java.util.concurrent.ExecutorService;
import java.util.concurrent.Executors;
public class BlockingQueueTestWorking {
public static void main(String[] args) {
final BlockingQueue<Integer> blockingQueue = new ArrayBlockingQueue<Integer>(1);
Runnable producer = () -> {
try {
int iterator = 0;
while (true) {
if (iterator++ == 10)
break;
String name = Thread.currentThread().getName();
Integer i = (int) (Math.random() * 10);
blockingQueue.put(i);
System.out.println(name + " Producing:-> " + i);
}
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
};
Runnable consumer = () -> {
try {
int iterator = 0;
while (true) {
if (iterator++ == 10)
break;
String name = Thread.currentThread().getName();
Integer take = blockingQueue.take();
System.out.println(name + " Consuming:<- " + take);
}
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
};
Thread threadProducer = new Thread(producer);
final ExecutorService executor = Executors.newFixedThreadPool(10);
executor.execute(threadProducer);
Thread threadConsumer = new Thread(consumer);
executor.execute(threadConsumer);
executor.shutdown();
}
}
Output:
pool-1-thread-1 Producing:-> 2
pool-1-thread-1 Producing:-> 7
pool-1-thread-2 Consuming:<- 2
pool-1-thread-2 Consuming:<- 7
pool-1-thread-1 Producing:-> 6
pool-1-thread-2 Consuming:<- 6
pool-1-thread-1 Producing:-> 2
pool-1-thread-2 Consuming:<- 2
pool-1-thread-1 Producing:-> 6
pool-1-thread-2 Consuming:<- 6
pool-1-thread-1 Producing:-> 1
pool-1-thread-2 Consuming:<- 1
pool-1-thread-1 Producing:-> 2
pool-1-thread-2 Consuming:<- 2
pool-1-thread-1 Producing:-> 2
pool-1-thread-2 Consuming:<- 2
pool-1-thread-1 Producing:-> 2
pool-1-thread-2 Consuming:<- 2
pool-1-thread-1 Producing:-> 4
pool-1-thread-2 Consuming:<- 4
Change the print to
System.out.println(String.format("[%s]", new Timestamp(System.currentTimeMillis())) + " Producing:-> " + i);
and
System.out.println(String.format("[%s]", new Timestamp(System.currentTimeMillis())) + name + " Consuming:<- " + take);
and you will see that they are actually not printed in the correct time order
