@Beta public interface Service
startAsync() and 
 stopAsync() lifecycle methods to transition between states. Example services include 
 webservers, RPC servers and timers.
 The normal lifecycle of a service is:
There are deviations from this if there are failures or if stopAsync() is called
 before the Service reaches the RUNNING state. The set of legal
 transitions form a DAG, 
 therefore every method of the listener will be called at most once. N.B. The Service.State.FAILED
 and Service.State.TERMINATED states are terminal states, once a service enters either of these
 states it cannot ever leave them.
 
Implementors of this interface are strongly encouraged to extend one of the abstract classes in this package which implement this interface and make the threading and state management easier.

Service startAsync()
Service.State.NEW, this initiates service startup and returns
 immediately. A stopped service may not be restarted.IllegalStateException - if the service is not Service.State.NEWService.State state()

void awaitRunning()
Service to reach the running state.IllegalStateException - if the service reaches a state from which it is not possible to
     enter the Service.State.RUNNING state. e.g. if the state is 
     State#TERMINATED when this method is called then this will throw an 
     IllegalStateException.void awaitRunning(long timeout, TimeUnit unit) throws TimeoutException

 more than the given time.timeout - the maximum time to waitunit - the time unit of the timeout argumentTimeoutException - if the service has not reached the given state within the deadlineIllegalStateException - if the service reaches a state from which it is not possible to
     enter the RUNNING state. e.g. if the state is 
     State#TERMINATED when this method is called then this will throw an 
     IllegalStateException.void awaitTerminated()
Service to reach the terminated state.IllegalStateException - if the service fails.void awaitTerminated(long timeout, TimeUnit unit) throws TimeoutException

Throwable that caused this service to fail.IllegalStateException - if this service's state isn't FAILED.void addListener(Service.Listener listener, Executor executor)
Service.Listener to be executed on the given 
 executor.  The listener will have the corresponding transition method called whenever the 
 service changes state. The listener will not have previous state changes replayed, so it is 
 suggested that listeners are added before the service starts.
 addListener guarantees execution ordering across calls to a given listener but not
 across calls to multiple listeners. Specifically, a given listener will have its callbacks
 invoked in the same order as the underlying service enters those states. Additionally, at most
 one of the listener's callbacks will execute at once. However, multiple listeners' callbacks
 may execute concurrently, and listeners may execute in an order different from the one in which
 they were registered.
 
RuntimeExceptions thrown by a listener will be caught and logged. Any exception thrown 
 during Executor.execute (e.g., a RejectedExecutionException) will be caught and
 logged.

     lightweight listeners that would be safe to execute in any thread, consider 
     MoreExecutors.directExecutor().Copyright © 2010-2015. All Rights Reserved.
