## Interface IgniteSemaphore

- All Superinterfaces:
    AutoCloseable, Closeable

      public interface IgniteSemaphore
      extends Closeable

  This interface provides a rich API for working with distributed semaphore.

  # Functionality

  Distributed semaphore provides functionality similar to `java.util.concurrent.Semaphore`.

  # Creating Distributed Semaphore

  Instance of cache semaphore can be created by calling the following method: `Ignite.semaphore(String, int, boolean, boolean)`.

- - ### Method Detail

    - #### name

          String name()

      Gets name of the semaphore.
      Returns:
        Name of the semaphore.

    - #### acquire

          void acquire()
                throws IgniteInterruptedException

      Acquires a permit from this semaphore, blocking until one is available, or the thread is interrupted.

      Acquires a permit, if one is available and returns immediately, reducing the number of available permits by one.

      If no permit is available then the current thread becomes disabled for thread scheduling purposes and lies dormant until one of two things happens:

      - Some other thread invokes the `release()` method for this semaphore and the current thread is next to be assigned a permit; or
      - Some other thread interrupts the current thread.

      If the current thread:

      - has its interrupted status set on entry to this method; or
      - is interrupted while waiting for a permit,
      then `IgniteInterruptedException` is thrown and the current thread's interrupted status is cleared.
      Throws:
        `IgniteInterruptedException` - if the current thread is interrupted

    - #### acquireUninterruptibly

          void acquireUninterruptibly()

      Acquires a permit from this semaphore, blocking until one is available.

      Acquires a permit, if one is available and returns immediately, reducing the number of available permits by one.

      If no permit is available then the current thread becomes disabled for thread scheduling purposes and lies dormant until some other thread invokes the `release()` method for this semaphore and the current thread is next to be assigned a permit.

      If the current thread is interrupted while waiting for a permit then it will continue to wait, but the time at which the thread is assigned a permit may change compared to the time it would have received the permit had no interruption occurred. When the thread does return from this method its interrupt status will be set.

    - #### tryAcquire

          boolean tryAcquire()

      Acquires a permit from this semaphore, only if one is available at the time of invocation.

      Acquires a permit, if one is available and returns immediately, with the value `true`, reducing the number of available permits by one.

      If no permit is available then this method will return immediately with the value `false`.

      Returns:
        `true` if a permit was acquired and `false` otherwise

    - #### tryAcquire

          boolean tryAcquire(long timeout,
                             TimeUnit unit)
                      throws IgniteInterruptedException

      Acquires a permit from this semaphore, if one becomes available within the given waiting time and the current thread has not been interrupted.

      Acquires a permit, if one is available and returns immediately, with the value `true`, reducing the number of available permits by one.

      If no permit is available then the current thread becomes disabled for thread scheduling purposes and lies dormant until one of three things happens:

      - Some other thread invokes the `release()` method for this semaphore and the current thread is next to be assigned a permit; or
      - Some other thread interrupts the current thread; or
      - The specified waiting time elapses.

      If a permit is acquired then the value `true` is returned.

      If the current thread:

      - has its interrupted status set on entry to this method; or
      - is interrupted while waiting to acquire a permit,
      then `IgniteInterruptedException` is thrown and the current thread's interrupted status is cleared.

      If the specified waiting time elapses then the value `false` is returned. If the time is less than or equal to zero, the method will not wait at all.

      Parameters:
        `timeout` - the maximum time to wait for a permit
        `unit` - the time unit of the `timeout` argument
      Returns:
        `true` if a permit was acquired and `false` if the waiting time elapsed before a permit was acquired
      Throws:
        `IgniteInterruptedException` - if the current thread is interrupted

    - #### acquireUninterruptibly

          void acquireUninterruptibly(int permits)

      Acquires the given number of permits from this semaphore, blocking until all are available.

      Acquires the given number of permits, if they are available, and returns immediately, reducing the number of available permits by the given amount.

      If insufficient permits are available then the current thread becomes disabled for thread scheduling purposes and lies dormant until some other thread invokes one of the `release` methods for this semaphore, the current thread is next to be assigned permits and the number of available permits satisfies this request.

      If the current thread is interrupted while waiting for permits then it will continue to wait and its position in the queue is not affected. When the thread does return from this method its interrupt status will be set.

      Parameters:
        `permits` - the number of permits to acquire
      Throws:
        `IllegalArgumentException` - if `permits` is negative

    - #### availablePermits

          int availablePermits()

      Returns the current number of permits available in this semaphore.

      This method is typically used for debugging and testing purposes.

      Returns:
        the number of permits available in this semaphore

    - #### drainPermits

          int drainPermits()

      Acquires and returns all permits that are immediately available.
      Returns:
        the number of permits acquired

    - #### release

          void release()

      Releases a permit, returning it to the semaphore.

      Releases a permit, increasing the number of available permits by one. If any threads are trying to acquire a permit, then one is selected and given the permit that was just released. That thread is (re)enabled for thread scheduling purposes.

      There is no requirement that a thread that releases a permit must have acquired that permit by calling `acquire()`. Correct usage of a semaphore is established by programming convention in the application.

    - #### tryAcquire

          boolean tryAcquire(int permits,
                             long timeout,
                             TimeUnit unit)
                      throws IgniteInterruptedException

      Acquires the given number of permits from this semaphore, if all become available within the given waiting time and the current thread has not been interrupted.

      Acquires the given number of permits, if they are available and returns immediately, with the value `true`, reducing the number of available permits by the given amount.

      If insufficient permits are available then the current thread becomes disabled for thread scheduling purposes and lies dormant until one of three things happens:

      - Some other thread invokes one of the `release` methods for this semaphore, the current thread is next to be assigned permits and the number of available permits satisfies this request; or
      - Some other thread interrupts the current thread; or
      - The specified waiting time elapses.

      If the permits are acquired then the value `true` is returned.

      If the current thread:

      - has its interrupted status set on entry to this method; or
      - is interrupted while waiting to acquire the permits,
      then `IgniteInterruptedException` is thrown and the current thread's interrupted status is cleared. Any permits that were to be assigned to this thread, are instead assigned to other threads trying to acquire permits, as if the permits had been made available by a call to `release()`.

      If the specified waiting time elapses then the value `false` is returned. If the time is less than or equal to zero, the method will not wait at all. Any permits that were to be assigned to this thread, are instead assigned to other threads trying to acquire permits, as if the permits had been made available by a call to `release()`.

      Parameters:
        `permits` - the number of permits to acquire
        `timeout` - the maximum time to wait for the permits
        `unit` - the time unit of the `timeout` argument
      Returns:
        `true` if all permits were acquired and `false` if the waiting time elapsed before all permits were acquired
      Throws:
        `IgniteInterruptedException` - if the current thread is interrupted
        `IllegalArgumentException` - if `permits` is negative

    - #### tryAcquire

          boolean tryAcquire(int permits)

      Acquires the given number of permits from this semaphore, only if all are available at the time of invocation.

      Acquires the given number of permits, if they are available, and returns immediately, with the value `true`, reducing the number of available permits by the given amount.

      If insufficient permits are available then this method will return immediately with the value `false` and the number of available permits is unchanged.

      If you want to honor the failoverSafe setting, then use `tryAcquire(permits, 0, TimeUnit.SECONDS)` which is almost equivalent (it also detects interruption).

      Parameters:
        `permits` - the number of permits to acquire
      Returns:
        `true` if the permits were acquired and `false` otherwise
      Throws:
        `IllegalArgumentException` - if `permits` is negative

    - #### acquire

          void acquire(int permits)
                throws IgniteInterruptedException

      Acquires the given number of permits from this semaphore, blocking until all are available, or the thread is interrupted.

      Acquires the given number of permits, if they are available, and returns immediately, reducing the number of available permits by the given amount.

      If insufficient permits are available then the current thread becomes disabled for thread scheduling purposes and lies dormant until one of two things happens:

      - Some other thread invokes one of the `release` methods for this semaphore, the current thread is next to be assigned permits and the number of available permits satisfies this request; or
      - Some other thread interrupts the current thread.

      If the current thread:

      - has its interrupted status set on entry to this method; or
      - is interrupted while waiting for a permit,
      then `IgniteInterruptedException` is thrown and the current thread's interrupted status is cleared. Any permits that were to be assigned to this thread are instead assigned to other threads trying to acquire permits, as if permits had been made available by a call to `release()`.
      Parameters:
        `permits` - the number of permits to acquire
      Throws:
        `IgniteInterruptedException` - if the current thread is interrupted
        `IllegalArgumentException` - if `permits` is negative

    - #### acquireAndExecute

          <T> IgniteFuture<T> acquireAndExecute(IgniteCallable<T> callable,
                                                int numPermits)
                                         throws Exception

      Acquires the given semaphore, executes the given callable and schedules the release of permits asynchronously
      Type Parameters:
        `T` - Type of the callable execution result.
      Parameters:
        `callable` - the callable to execute
        `numPermits` - the number of permits to acquire
      Returns:
        Callable execution future.
      Throws:
        `Exception` - if the callable throws an exception

    - #### release

          void release(int permits)

      Releases the given number of permits, returning them to the semaphore.

      Releases the given number of permits, increasing the number of available permits by that amount. If any threads are trying to acquire permits, then one is selected and given the permits that were just released. If the number of available permits satisfies that thread's request then that thread is (re)enabled for thread scheduling purposes; otherwise the thread will wait until sufficient permits are available. If there are still permits available after this thread's request has been satisfied, then those permits are assigned in turn to other threads trying to acquire permits.

      There is no requirement that a thread that releases a permit must have acquired that permit by calling `acquire`. Correct usage of a semaphore is established by programming convention in the application.

      Parameters:
        `permits` - the number of permits to release
      Throws:
        `IllegalArgumentException` - if `permits` is negative

    - #### isFailoverSafe

          boolean isFailoverSafe()

      Returns `true` if this semaphore is safe to use after node failure. If not, IgniteInterruptedException is thrown on every other node after node failure.
      Returns:
        `true` if this semaphore has failoverSafe set true

    - #### hasQueuedThreads

          boolean hasQueuedThreads()

      Queries whether any threads are waiting to acquire. Note that because cancellations may occur at any time, a `true` return does not guarantee that any other thread will ever acquire. This method is designed primarily for use in monitoring of the system state.
      Returns:
        `true` if there may be other threads waiting to acquire the lock

    - #### getQueueLength

          int getQueueLength()

      Returns an estimate of the number of nodes waiting to acquire. The value is only an estimate because the number of nodes that are waiting may change dynamically while this method traverses internal data structures. This method is designed for use in monitoring of the system state, not for synchronization control.
      Returns:
        the estimated number of nodes waiting for this lock

    - #### isBroken

          boolean isBroken()

      Gets `broken` status of the semaphore.
      Returns:
        `True` if a node failed on this semaphore and failoverSafe flag was set to false, `false` otherwise.

    - #### removed

          boolean removed()

      Gets `removed` status of the semaphore.
      Returns:
        `True` if semaphore was removed from cache, `false` otherwise.

    - #### close

          void close()

      Removes this semaphore.
      Specified by:
        `close` in interface `AutoCloseable`
      Specified by:
        `close` in interface `Closeable`
      Throws:
        `IgniteException` - If operation failed.
