我们在多线程开发中，可能会出现这种情况。就是一个线程需要另外一个线程满足某某条件才能继续运行，或者需

要其他线程满足好几个条件才能运行，对于这样的多条件的多线程并发，我们如何控制好各个线程之间的关系，使他们

能很好的处理冲突不至于相互出现问题呢，下面我们来介绍一下Java提供的Condition这个接口，这个接口很好的实现了

这种需求。

对于这个问题最经典的例子就是生产者消费者模型，生产者当缓冲区满的时候不生产商品知道缓冲区有空余，消费

者当缓冲区为0 的时候不拿商品，直到生产者向缓冲区放入商品，下面我们使用Conditon这个接口来实现这样的需求。

注意：

When a thread calls the await() method of a condition, it automatically frees the control of the lock, so that another thread can get it and begin the execution of the same, or another critical section protected by that lock.
