What is CountDownLatch? When we use CountDownLatch?'

Comment

Simply put, a CountDownLatch has a counter field, which you can decrement as we require. We can then use it to block a calling thread until it's been counted down to zero.

If we were doing some parallel processing, we could instantiate the CountDownLatch with the same value for the counter as a number of threads we want to work across. Then, we could just call countdown() after each thread finishes, guaranteeing that a dependent thread calling await() will block until the worker threads are finished.

public class WaitingWorker implements Runnable {

    private List<String> outputScraper;
    private CountDownLatch readyThreadCounter;
    private CountDownLatch callingThreadBlocker;
    private CountDownLatch completedThreadCounter;

    public WaitingWorker(
      List<String> outputScraper,
      CountDownLatch readyThreadCounter,
      CountDownLatch callingThreadBlocker,
      CountDownLatch completedThreadCounter) {

        this.outputScraper = outputScraper;
        this.readyThreadCounter = readyThreadCounter;
        this.callingThreadBlocker = callingThreadBlocker;
        this.completedThreadCounter = completedThreadCounter;
    }

    @Override
    public void run() {
        readyThreadCounter.countDown();
        try {
            callingThreadBlocker.await();
            doSomeWork();
            outputScraper.add("Counted down");
        } catch (InterruptedException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } finally {
            completedThreadCounter.countDown();
        }
    }
}
