Interface TaskExecutor<R>

Type Parameters:

R - the Task's result type

public interface TaskExecutor<R>

TaskExecutors provide execution services for Tasks. A TaskExecutor deals with Tasks returning a particular type of result only. TaskExecutors are typically relatively light-weight wrappers provided by TaskServices, being merely submission receptacles for tasks, so that they can be created wherever some kind of asynchronous execution of a particular kind of task is needed.
