Class CloseableReadWriteLock

java.lang.Object
com.unboundid.util.CloseableReadWriteLock
@Mutable @ThreadSafety(level=COMPLETELY_THREADSAFE) public final class CloseableReadWriteLock extends Object
This class provides an implementation of a reentrant read-write lock that can be used with the Java try-with-resources facility. With a read-write lock, either exactly one thread can hold the write lock while no other threads hold read locks, or zero or more threads can hold read locks while no thread holds the write lock. The one exception to this policy is that the thread that holds the write lock can downgrade will be permitted to acquire a read lock before it releases the write lock to downgrade from a write lock to a read lock while ensuring that no other thread is permitted to acquire the write lock while it is in the process of downgrading.

This class does not implement the java.util.concurrent.locks.ReadWriteLock interface in order to ensure that it can only be used through the try-with-resources mechanism, but it uses a java.util.concurrent.locks.ReentrantReadWriteLock behind the scenes to provide its functionality.

Example

The following example demonstrates how to use this lock using the Java try-with-resources facility: 
 // Wait for up to 5 seconds to acquire the lock.
 try (CloseableReadWriteLock.WriteLock writeLock =
           closeableReadWriteLock.tryLock(5L, TimeUnit.SECONDS))
 {
   // NOTE:  If you don't reference the lock object inside the try block, the
   // compiler will issue a warning.
   writeLock.avoidCompilerWarning();

   // Do something while the lock is held.  The lock will automatically be
   // released once code execution leaves this block.
 }
 catch (final InterruptedException e)
 {
   // The thread was interrupted before the lock could be acquired.
 }
 catch (final TimeoutException)
 {
   // The lock could not be acquired within the specified 5-second timeout.
 }

  • Constructor Details

    • CloseableReadWriteLock

      public CloseableReadWriteLock()
      Creates a new instance of this read-write lock with a non-fair ordering policy.

    • CloseableReadWriteLock

      public CloseableReadWriteLock(boolean fair)
      Creates a new instance of this read-write lock with the specified ordering policy.
      Parameters:
      fair - Indicates whether the lock should use fair ordering. If true, then if multiple threads are waiting on the lock, then the one that has been waiting the longest is the one that will get it. If false, then no guarantee will be made about the order. Fair ordering can incur a performance penalty.

      Throws:
      InterruptedException - If the thread is interrupted while waiting to acquire the lock.

    • tryLockWrite

      @NotNull public CloseableReadWriteLock.WriteLock tryLockWrite(long waitTime, @NotNull TimeUnit timeUnit) throws InterruptedException, TimeoutException
      Tries to acquire the write lock, waiting up to the specified length of time for it to become available.
      Parameters:
      waitTime - The maximum length of time to wait for the lock. It must be greater than zero.
      timeUnit - The time unit that should be used when evaluating the waitTime value.
      Returns:
      The CloseableReadWriteLock.WriteLock instance that may be used to perform the unlock via the try-with-resources facility.
      Throws:
      InterruptedException - If the thread is interrupted while waiting to acquire the lock.
      TimeoutException - If the lock could not be acquired within the specified length of time.

    • lockRead

      @NotNull public CloseableReadWriteLock.ReadLock lockRead()
      Acquires a read lock, blocking until the lock is available.
