- com.hazelcast.internal.util.concurrent.ConcurrentConveyor<E>

Direct Known Subclasses:

ConcurrentConveyorSingleQueue
```
public class ConcurrentConveyor<E>
extends Object
```
A many-to-one conveyor of interthread messages. Allows a setup where communication from N submitter threads to 1 drainer thread happens over N one-to-one concurrent queues. Queues are numbered from 0 to N-1 and the queue at index 0 is the default queue. There are some convenience methods which assume the usage of the default queue.
Allows the drainer thread to signal completion and failure to the submitters and make their blocking submit() calls fail with an exception. This mechanism supports building an implementation which is both starvation-safe and uses bounded queues with blocking queue submission.
There is a further option for the drainer to apply immediate backpressure to the submitter by invoking backpressureOn(). This will make the submit() invocations block after having successfully submitted their item, until the drainer calls backpressureOff() or fails. This mechanism allows the drainer to apply backpressure and keep draining the queue, thus letting all submitters progress until after submitting their item. Such an arrangement eliminates a class of deadlock patterns where the submitter blocks to submit the item that would have made the drainer remove backpressure.
Does not manage drainer threads. There should be only one drainer thread at a time.

Usage example
```
 // 1. Set up the concurrent conveyor

 final int queueCapacity = 128;
 final Runnable doneItem = new Runnable() { public void run() {} };
 final QueuedPipe[] qs = new QueuedPipe[2];
 qs[0] = new OneToOneConcurrentArrayQueue(queueCapacity);
 qs[1] = new OneToOneConcurrentArrayQueue(queueCapacity);
 final ConcurrentConveyor conveyor = concurrentConveyor(doneItem, qs);

 // 2. Set up the drainer thread

 final Thread drainer = new Thread(new Runnable() {
     private int submitterGoneCount;
```

- Method Detail
  - concurrentConveyor
```
public static <E1> ConcurrentConveyor<E1> concurrentConveyor(E1 submitterGoneItem,
                                                             QueuedPipe<E1>... queues)
```
    Creates a new concurrent conveyor.
    
    Parameters:
    
    submitterGoneItem - the object that a submitter thread can use to signal it's done submitting
    
    queues - the concurrent queues the conveyor will manage
  - submitterGoneItem
```
public final E submitterGoneItem()
```
    Returns:
    
    the last item that the submitter thread submits to the conveyor
  - queueCount
```
public final int queueCount()
```
    Returns the size of the array holding the concurrent queues. Initially (when the conveyor is constructed) each array slot should point to a distinct concurrent queue; therefore the size of the array matches the number of queues. Some array slots may be nulled out later by calling removeQueue(int), but this method will keep reporting the same number. The intended use case for this method is giving the upper bound for a loop that iterates over all queues. Since queue indices never change, this number must stay the same.
  - liveQueueCount
```
public final int liveQueueCount()
```
    Returns the number of remaining live queues, i.e., queueCount() minus the number of queues nulled out by calling removeQueue(int).
  - queue
```
public final QueuedPipe<E> queue(int index)
```
    Returns:
    
    the concurrent queue at the given index
  - removeQueue
```
public final boolean removeQueue(int index)
```
  - offer
```
public final boolean offer(int queueIndex,
                           E item)
```
    Offers an item to the queue at the given index.
    
    Returns:
    
    whether the item was accepted by the queue
  - offer
```
public final boolean offer(Queue<E> queue,
                           E item)
                    throws ConcurrentConveyorException
```
    Offers an item to the given queue. No check is performed that the queue actually belongs to this conveyor.
    
    Returns:
    
    whether the item was accepted by the queue
    
    Throws:
    
    ConcurrentConveyorException - if the draining thread has already left
  - submit
```
public final void submit(Queue<E> queue,
                         E item)
                  throws ConcurrentConveyorException
```
    Blocks until successfully inserting the given item to the given queue. No check is performed that the queue actually belongs to this conveyor. If the #backpressure flag is raised on this conveyor at the time the item has been submitted, further blocks until the flag is lowered.
    
    Throws:
    
    ConcurrentConveyorException - if the current thread is interrupted or the draining thread has already left
  - drainTo
```
public final int drainTo(Collection<? super E> drain)
```
    Drains a batch of items from the default queue into the supplied collection.

    whether the drainer thread has left
  - checkDrainerGone
```
public final void checkDrainerGone()

    Checks whether the drainer thread has left and throws an exception if it has. If the drainer thread has failed, its failure will be the cause of the exception thrown.
