Java通过线程名kill掉线程

背景

在生产环境，有时候因为代码bug或者数据量太大，导致某个线程死循环或者耗时非常长线程hang住了。在一些场景下，我们希望可以在不重启服务的情况下把这些线程终止了。

在 ActiveMQ 源码中发现一个通过线程名stop线程的方法，在此分享出来供参考。

代码

import java.util.regex.Matcher;
import java.util.regex.Pattern;
import org.apache.log4j.Logger;

public class ThreadExplorer
{
    static Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(ThreadExplorer.class);

    public static Thread[] listThreads()
    {

        int nThreads = Thread.activeCount();
        Thread ret[] = new Thread[nThreads];

        Thread.enumerate(ret);

        return ret;

    }

    /**
     * Helper function to access a thread per name (ignoring case)
     * 
     * @param name
     * @return
     */
    public static Thread fetchThread(String name)
    {
        Thread[] threadArray = listThreads();
        // for (Thread t : threadArray)
        for (int i = 0; i < threadArray.length; i++)
        {
            Thread t = threadArray[i];
            if (t.getName().equalsIgnoreCase(name))
                return t;
        }
        return null;
    }

    /**

import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.concurrent.ExecutorService;
import java.util.concurrent.Executors;

public class TestMain {


    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException, InterruptedException {

        ExecutorService threadPool = Executors.newFixedThreadPool(10);
        for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) { //10个线程死循环
            int finalI = i;
            threadPool.execute(() -> {
                for (;;){
                    try {
                        Thread.sleep(10);
                    } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                        System.out.println("中断Thread#=="+ finalI);
                        e.printStackTrace();
                    }
                }
            });
        }
        threadPool.shutdown();

        System.out.println(ThreadExplorer.show("Kill thread 开始前线程#####"));
        ThreadExplorer.kill("pool-1-thread-1", false, "");
        ThreadExplorer.kill("pool-1-thread-3", false, "");
        //ThreadExplorer.kill("pool-1-thread-*", truer, "");//stop所有线程名符合pool-1-thread-*的线程

        Thread.sleep(1000);// 休眠只是为了后面能够打印的时候准确显示

        System.out.println(ThreadExplorer.show("Kill thread 结束后剩余线程#####"));
    }
}
