/**
* An {@link Executor} that provides methods to manage termination and
* methods that can produce a {@link Future} for tracking progress of
* one or more asynchronous tasks.
*
* <p>
* An <tt>ExecutorService</tt> can be shut down, which will cause it
* to stop accepting new tasks. After being shut down, the executor
* will eventually terminate, at which point no tasks are actively
* executing, no tasks are awaiting execution, and no new tasks can be
* submitted.
*
* <p> Method <tt>submit</tt> extends base method {@link
* Executor#execute} by creating and returning a {@link Future} that
* can be used to cancel execution and/or wait for completion.
* Methods <tt>invokeAny</tt> and <tt>invokeAll</tt> perform the most
* commonly useful forms of bulk execution, executing a collection of
* tasks and then waiting for at least one, or all, to
* complete. (Class {@link ExecutorCompletionService} can be used to
* write customized variants of these methods.)
*
* <p>The {@link Executors} class provides factory methods for the
* executor services provided in this package.
*
* <h3>Usage Example</h3>
*
* Here is a sketch of a network service in which threads in a thread
* pool service incoming requests. It uses the preconfigured {@link
* Executors#newFixedThreadPool} factory method:
*
* <pre>
* class NetworkService {
* private final ServerSocket serverSocket;
* private final ExecutorService pool;
*
* public NetworkService(int port, int poolSize) throws IOException {
* serverSocket = new ServerSocket(port);
* pool = Executors.newFixedThreadPool(poolSize);
* }
*
* public void serve() {
* try {
* for (;;) {
* pool.execute(new Handler(serverSocket.accept()));
* }
* } catch (IOException ex) {
* pool.shutdown();
* }
* }
* }
*
* class Handler implements Runnable {
* private final Socket socket;
* Handler(Socket socket) { this.socket = socket; }
* public void run() {
* // read and service request
* }
* }
* </pre>
* @since 1.5
