| * completed tasks and process their results in the order they |
| * complete. A <tt>CompletionService</tt> can for example be used to |
| * manage asynchronous IO, in which tasks that perform reads are |
| * submitted in one part of a program or system, and then acted upon |
| * in a different part of the program when the reads complete, |
| * possibly in a different order than they were requested. |
| |
| * <p> |
| * |
| * Typically, a <tt>CompletionService</tt> relies on a separate {@link |
| * Executor} to actually execute the tasks, in which case the |
| * <tt>CompletionService</tt> only manages an internal completion |
| * queue. The {@link ExecutorCompletionService} class provides an |
| * implementation of this approach. |
