/**
*
* A class that allows complex initialization operations in a background task.
*
*
* Applications often have to do some expensive initialization steps when they
* are started, e.g. constructing a connection to a database, reading a
* configuration file, etc. Doing these things in parallel can enhance
* performance as the CPU load can be improved. However, when access to the
* resources initialized in a background thread is actually required,
* synchronization has to be performed to ensure that their initialization is
* complete.
*
*
* This abstract base class provides support for this use case. A concrete
* subclass must implement the {@link #initialize()} method. Here an arbitrary
* initialization can be implemented, and a result object can be returned. With
* this method in place the basic usage of this class is as follows (where
* {@code MyBackgroundInitializer} is a concrete subclass):
*
*
*
* MyBackgroundInitializer initializer = new MyBackgroundInitializer();
* initializer.start();
* // Now do some other things. Initialization runs in a parallel thread
* ...
* // Wait for the end of initialization and access the result object
* Object result = initializer.get();
*
*
*
* After the construction of a {@code BackgroundInitializer} object its
* {@link #start()} method has to be called. This starts the background
* processing. The application can now continue to do other things. When it
* needs access to the object produced by the {@code BackgroundInitializer} it
* calls its {@link #get()} method. If initialization is already complete,
* {@link #get()} returns the result object immediately. Otherwise it blocks
* until the result object is fully constructed.
*
*
* {@code BackgroundInitializer} is a thin wrapper around a {@code Future}
* object and uses an {@code ExecutorService} for running the background
* initialization task. It is possible to pass in an {@code ExecutorService} at
* construction time or set one using {@code setExternalExecutor()} before
* {@code start()} was called. Then this object is used to spawn the background
* task. If no {@code ExecutorService} has been provided, {@code
* BackgroundInitializer} creates a temporary {@code ExecutorService} and
* destroys it when initialization is complete.
*
*
* The methods provided by {@code BackgroundInitializer} provide for minimal
* interaction with the wrapped {@code Future} object. It is also possible to
* obtain the {@code Future} object directly. Then the enhanced functionality
* offered by {@code Future} can be used, e.g. to check whether the background
* operation is complete or to cancel the operation.
*
*
* @since 3.0
* @param the type of the object managed by this initializer class
