def defaultReporter: (Throwable) ⇒ Unit

The default reporter simply prints the stack trace of the Throwable to System.err.

  • returns
    • the function for error reporting

(defined at scala.concurrent.ExecutionContext)

def fromExecutor(e: Executor): ExecutionContextExecutor

Creates an ExecutionContext from the given Executor with the default reporter.

  • e
  • returns
    • the ExecutionContext using the given Executor

(defined at scala.concurrent.ExecutionContext)

def fromExecutor(e: Executor, reporter: (Throwable) ⇒ Unit): ExecutionContextExecutor

Creates an ExecutionContext from the given Executor .

  • e
  • reporter
    • a function for error reporting
  • returns
    • the ExecutionContext using the given Executor

(defined at scala.concurrent.ExecutionContext)

def fromExecutorService(e: ExecutorService): ExecutionContextExecutorService

Creates an ExecutionContext from the given ExecutorService with the default reporter.

If it is guaranteed that none of the executed tasks are blocking, a single-threaded ExecutorService can be used to create an ExecutionContext as follows:

import java.util.concurrent.Executors
val ec = ExecutionContext.fromExecutorService(Executors.newSingleThreadExecutor())
  • e
  • returns
    • the ExecutionContext using the given ExecutorService

(defined at scala.concurrent.ExecutionContext)

def fromExecutorService(e: ExecutorService, reporter: (Throwable) ⇒ Unit): ExecutionContextExecutorService

Creates an ExecutionContext from the given ExecutorService .

  • e
  • reporter
    • a function for error reporting
  • returns
    • the ExecutionContext using the given ExecutorService

(defined at scala.concurrent.ExecutionContext)

def global: ExecutionContextExecutor

The explicit global ExecutionContext . Invoke global when you want to provide the global ExecutionContext explicitly.

The default ExecutionContext implementation is backed by a work-stealing thread pool. By default, the thread pool uses a target number of worker threads equal to the number of available processors.

  • returns
    • the global ExecutionContext (defined at scala.concurrent.ExecutionContext)

/**
 * An `ExecutionContext` can execute program logic asynchronously,
 * typically but not necessarily on a thread pool.
 *
 * A general purpose `ExecutionContext` must be asynchronous in executing
 * any `Runnable` that is passed into its `execute`-method. A special purpose
 * `ExecutionContext` may be synchronous but must only be passed to code that
 * is explicitly safe to be run using a synchronously executing `ExecutionContext`.
 *
 * APIs such as `Future.onComplete` require you to provide a callback
 * and an implicit `ExecutionContext`. The implicit `ExecutionContext`
 * will be used to execute the callback.
 *
 * It is possible to simply import
 * `scala.concurrent.ExecutionContext.Implicits.global` to obtain an
 * implicit `ExecutionContext`. This global context is a reasonable
 * default thread pool.
 *
 * However, application developers should carefully consider where they
 * want to set policy; ideally, one place per application (or per
 * logically-related section of code) will make a decision about
 * which `ExecutionContext` to use. That is, you might want to avoid
 * hardcoding `scala.concurrent.ExecutionContext.Implicits.global` all
 * over the place in your code.
 * One approach is to add `(implicit ec: ExecutionContext)`
 * to methods which need an `ExecutionContext`. Then import a specific
 * context in one place for the entire application or module,
 * passing it implicitly to individual methods.
 *
 * A custom `ExecutionContext` may be appropriate to execute code
 * which blocks on IO or performs long-running computations.
 * `ExecutionContext.fromExecutorService` and `ExecutionContext.fromExecutor`
 * are good ways to create a custom `ExecutionContext`.
 *
 * The intent of `ExecutionContext` is to lexically scope code execution.
 * That is, each method, class, file, package, or application determines
 * how to run its own code. This avoids issues such as running
 * application callbacks on a thread pool belonging to a networking library.
 * The size of a networking library's thread pool can be safely configured,
 * knowing that only that library's network operations will be affected.
 * Application callback execution can be configured separately.

     *  capture thread local context. However, this usage has proven
     *  difficult to implement in practice and instead it is
     *  now better to avoid using `prepare` entirely.
     *
     *  Instead, if an `ExecutionContext` needs to capture thread
     *  local context, it should capture that context when it is
     *  constructed, so that it doesn't need any additional
     *  preparation later.
