java.lang.Object

org.apache.flink.core.testutils.BlockerSync

public class BlockerSync
extends Object

A utility to help synchronize two threads in cases where one of them is supposed to reach a blocking state before the other may continue.

Use as follows:

 final BlockerSync sync = new BlockerSync();

 // thread to be blocked
 Runnable toBeBlocked = () -> {
     // do something, like acquire a shared resource
     sync.blockNonInterruptible();
     // release resource
 }

 new Thread(toBeBlocked).start();
 sync.awaitBlocker();

 // do stuff that requires the other thread to still hold the resource
 sync.releaseBlocker();
