/**
* An object that executes submitted {@link Runnable} tasks. This
* interface provides a way of decoupling task submission from the
* mechanics of how each task will be run, including details of thread
* use, scheduling, etc. An {@code Executor} is normally used
* instead of explicitly creating threads. For example, rather than
* invoking {@code new Thread(new(RunnableTask())).start()} for each
* of a set of tasks, you might use:
这是一个可以执行被提交任务(任务要实现Runnable接口)的对象，Executor 接口提供一种解耦的任务提交方式，
这种方式源于每个任务如何被执行的机制，包括线程的使用细节，调度等等。这个接口通常被用于明确创建线程的替代形式。举个例子,
相对于原来的 {@code new Thread(new(RunnableTask())).start()} 直接调用方式，你可能用以下方式：
*
* Executor executor = anExecutor;
* executor.execute(new RunnableTask1());
* executor.execute(new RunnableTask2());
* ...
*
*
* However, the {@code Executor} interface does not strictly
* require that execution be asynchronous. In the simplest case, an
* executor can run the submitted task immediately in the caller's
* thread:
然而，
Executor接口要求并不严格要求任务被异步的执行，在最简单的场景下,
一个Executor能在当前调用的线程中立刻被执行。
* {@code
* class DirectExecutor implements Executor {
* public void execute(Runnable r) {
* r.run();
* }
* }}
*
* More typically, tasks are executed in some thread other
* than the caller's thread. The executor below spawns a new thread
* for each task.
更多典型的场景下,任务被一些线程执行，而并不在当前线程下,下面的例子中，为每一个任务就产生了一个新的线程。
* {@code
* class ThreadPerTaskExecutor implements Executor {
* public void execute(Runnable r) {
* new Thread(r).start();
* }
* }}
*
* Many {@code Executor} implementations impose some sort of
* limitation on how and when tasks are scheduled. The executor below
* serializes the submission of tasks to a second executor,
* illustrating a composite executor.
一些Executor的实现强加某种关于任务何时和如何被调度的限制，下边的串行化的任务交给第二个executor去执行。一个组合的executor的示例如下：
* {@code
* class SerialExecutor implements Executor {
* final Queue tasks = new ArrayDeque();
* final Executor executor;
* Runnable active;
*
* SerialExecutor(Executor executor) {
* this.executor = executor;
* }
*
* public synchronized void execute(final Runnable r) {
* tasks.offer(new Runnable() {
* public void run() {
* try {
* r.run();
* } finally {
* scheduleNext();
* }
* }
* });
* if (active == null) {
* scheduleNext();
* }
* }
*
* protected synchronized void scheduleNext() {
* if ((active = tasks.poll()) != null) {
* executor.execute(active);
* }
* }
* }}
*
* The {@code Executor} implementations provided in this package
* implement {@link ExecutorService}, which is a more extensive
* interface. The {@link ThreadPoolExecutor} class provides an
* 个thread pool implementation. The {@link Executors} class
* provides convenient factory methods for these Executors.
在当前包下提供了一些实现ExecutorService接口的实现，这个接口是一个相对比较广泛的接口，
ThreadPoolExecutor 该类提供了一个可扩展的线程池实现。Execturos静态类提供一些方便的工厂方法去创建不同的Executor
* Memory consistency effects: Actions in a thread prior to
* submitting a {@code Runnable} object to an {@code Executor}
* happen-before
* its execution begins, perhaps in another thread.
内存一致性影响：在当前线程的动作要优先于提交给Executor的任务对象，
它们在真正开始执行行的时侯，可能在另一个线程里了。

public interface Executor {
/**
* Executes the given command at some time in the future. The command
* may execute in a new thread, in a pooled thread, or in the calling
* thread, at the discretion of the {@code Executor} implementation.
执行给定的命令任务在未来的某个时间点，这个命令可能在一个新的线程里，或者在一个线程池里，也有可能就在前调用线程中。
这些源于Executor的灵活实现。
* @param command the runnable task
* @throws RejectedExecutionException if this task cannot be
* accepted for execution
* @throws NullPointerException if command is null
