java 1.5 concurrent 工具包中提供了五类线程池的创建:

		ExecutorService executor=Executors.newCachedThreadPool();
		ExecutorService cacheExecutor=Executors.newCachedThreadPool(new TestThreadFactory());
		
		ExecutorService fixExecutor=Executors.newFixedThreadPool(10);
		ExecutorService fixedExecutor=Executors.newFixedThreadPool(10, new TestThreadFactory());
		
		ExecutorService sigExecutor=Executors.newSingleThreadExecutor();
		ExecutorService singleExecutor=Executors.newSingleThreadExecutor(new TestThreadFactory());
		
		ScheduledExecutorService schExecutor=Executors.newScheduledThreadPool(10);
		ScheduledExecutorService scheduledExecutor=Executors.newScheduledThreadPool(10,new TestThreadFactory());
		
		ScheduledExecutorService ssExecutor=Executors.newSingleThreadScheduledExecutor();
		ScheduledExecutorService sigSchExcutor=Executors.newSingleThreadScheduledExecutor(new TestThreadFactory());

SingleThreadExecutor其实是FixedThreadPool的一个特例,SingleThreadExecutor指定对于同一个队列只有一个线程去循环读取队列任务并执行, FiexedThreadPool则可以为同一队列指定多个线程去循环读取队列任务并执行.

newFixedThreadPool(10)会产生10个线程去读取同一个任务队列,但这10个线程不是同时产生,而是提交一个任务(即执行一次execute()或者submit()方法)产生一个,当提交的任务数量超过10个,第11个任务直接提交到blockQueue<Runnable>队列里,然后由这10个线程中的某个线程去获取并执行该任务.FixedThreadPool产生的10个线程以后也不会被回收成9个,更不可能增加到11个.

CacheThreadPool不指定具体数量的线程去读取并只执行任务队列中的任务,但是它有个最大线程数(Integer.MAX_VALUE=http://www.mamicode.com/2的32次-1), 当 任务队列饱和无法插入新任务时,会自动生成一个新的线程去执行新插入的任务,并参与读取饱和的任务队列并执行.如果高峰期生成了10个线程,低谷期只需要一个线程来执行,其余的9个线程在存活一段时间后就会被终止.存活时间默认是一分钟.这一点要和FixedThreadPool区分.

ScheduledThreadPool线程池线程数量也需要预先指定,它的主要特点是按计划延时读取并执行队列任务

无论何种线程,当任务队列增加任务的速度大于队列读取执行的速度时,就可能产生任务丢失的情况,丢失的概率由低到高依次是

CacheThreadPool > newFixedThreadPool > SingleThreadExecutor,这个很好理解.这种情况下,程序默认都会向外抛出RejectedExecutionException异常

new 线程池的时候另一个构造参数 ThreadFactory,主要用途就是对提交的任务做个简单的封装.
