Package net.openhft.chronicle.core.threads

Provides classes and interfaces for thread management and scheduling in an event-driven programming model.

See: Description

Interface Summary

Interface	Description
EventHandler	Represents a handler for events within an event loop.
EventLoop	EventLoop represents an event-driven loop responsible for processing event handlers.
VanillaEventHandler	Represents an event handler that performs actions within an event loop.

Class Summary

Class	Description
CancellableTimer	A timer that can schedule tasks to be executed periodically or after a delay.
CancellableTimer.ScheduledEventHandler
CleaningThread	The CleaningThread class extends the Thread class and provides functionality to clean up thread-local variables when the thread completes its execution.
CleaningThreadLocal<T>	The CleaningThreadLocal class extends ThreadLocal and ensures that the resources held by a CleaningThread are cleaned up if the thread dies.
DelegatingEventLoop	This class is an implementation of the EventLoop interface that delegates all calls to an underlying EventLoop instance.
OnDemandEventLoop	A wrapper for an EventLoop which is created on demand when any of its methods are called.
ThreadDump	Utility class for monitoring and managing threads.
ThreadLocalHelper	A utility class for managing values in a ThreadLocal.
Timer	Timer class used to schedule tasks to be executed periodically or after a certain delay.

Enum Summary

Enum	Description
HandlerPriority	Enum representing different priority levels for event handlers in an event loop.

Exception Summary

Exception	Description
InterruptedRuntimeException	A runtime exception representing interruption of a thread.
InvalidEventHandlerException	Represents an exception that is thrown when an event handler is invalid or needs to be removed from an event loop.

Package net.openhft.chronicle.core.threads Description

Provides classes and interfaces for thread management and scheduling in an event-driven programming model. The classes in this package offer functionality for scheduling tasks to run periodically, managing thread-local variables, and handling events using an event loop.

Key classes and interfaces:

• CancellableTimer: A timer that can schedule tasks for periodic execution or execution after a delay.
• CleaningThread: Extends the Thread class to clean up thread-local variables when the thread completes its execution.
• CleaningThreadLocal: Extends ThreadLocal and ensures that resources held by a CleaningThread are cleaned up when the thread dies.
• DelegatingEventLoop: An implementation of EventLoop that delegates calls to an underlying EventLoop instance. Useful as a base class for custom implementations.
• EventHandler: Interface representing a handler for events within an event loop.
• EventLoop: Represents an event-driven loop responsible for processing event handlers based on their priority.
• HandlerPriority: Enum representing different priority levels for event handlers in an event loop.
• InterruptedRuntimeException: A runtime exception representing the interruption of a thread.
• InvalidEventHandlerException: Represents an exception thrown when an event handler is invalid or needs to be removed.
• OnDemandEventLoop: A wrapper for an EventLoop, which is created on-demand when any of its methods are called.
• ThreadDump: Utility class for monitoring and managing threads.
• ThreadLocalHelper: A utility class for managing values in a ThreadLocal.
• Timer: A timer used to schedule tasks for periodic execution or execution after a delay.
• VanillaEventHandler: Represents an event handler that performs actions within an event loop.
