Package org.optaplanner.core.api.solver

Interface SolverJob<Solution_,ProblemId_>

Type Parameters:

Solution_ - the solution type, the class with the PlanningSolution annotation

ProblemId_ - the ID type of a submitted problem, such as Long or UUID.

All Known Implementing Classes:

DefaultSolverJob

public interface SolverJob<Solution_,ProblemId_>

Represents a problem that has been submitted to solve on the SolverManager.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
CompletableFuture<Void>	addProblemChange(ProblemChange<Solution_> problemChange)	Schedules a ProblemChange to be processed by the underlying Solver and returns immediately.
Solution_	getFinalBestSolution()	Waits if necessary for the solver to complete and then returns the final best PlanningSolution.
ProblemId_	getProblemId()
SolverStatus	getSolverStatus()	Returns whether the Solver is scheduled to solve, actively solving or not.
Duration	getSolvingDuration()	Returns the Duration spent solving since the last start.
boolean	isTerminatedEarly()
void	terminateEarly()	Terminates the solver or cancels the solver job if it hasn't (re)started yet.

Method Detail

getProblemId

ProblemId_ getProblemId()

Returns:

never null, a value given to SolverManager.solve(Object, Function, Consumer) or SolverManager.solveAndListen(Object, Function, Consumer)

getSolverStatus

SolverStatus getSolverStatus()

Returns whether the Solver is scheduled to solve, actively solving or not.

Returns SolverStatus.NOT_SOLVING if the solver already terminated.

Returns:

never null

addProblemChange

CompletableFuture<Void> addProblemChange(ProblemChange<Solution_> problemChange)

Schedules a ProblemChange to be processed by the underlying Solver and returns immediately.

Parameters:

problemChange - never null

Returns:

completes after the best solution containing this change has been consumed.

Throws:

IllegalStateException - if the underlying Solver is not in the SolverStatus.SOLVING_ACTIVE state

terminateEarly

void terminateEarly()

Terminates the solver or cancels the solver job if it hasn't (re)started yet.

Does nothing if the solver already terminated.

Waits for the termination or cancellation to complete before returning. During termination, a bestSolutionConsumer could still be called (on a consumer thread), before this method returns.

isTerminatedEarly

boolean isTerminatedEarly()

Returns:

true if terminateEarly() has been called since the underlying Solver started solving.

getFinalBestSolution

Solution_ getFinalBestSolution()
                        throws InterruptedException,
                               ExecutionException

Waits if necessary for the solver to complete and then returns the final best PlanningSolution.

Returns:

never null, but it could be the original uninitialized problem

Throws:

InterruptedException - if the current thread was interrupted while waiting

ExecutionException - if the computation threw an exception

getSolvingDuration

Duration getSolvingDuration()

Returns the Duration spent solving since the last start. If it hasn't started it yet, it returns Duration.ZERO. If it hasn't ended yet, it returns the time between the last start and now. If it has ended already, it returns the time between the last start and the ending.

Returns:

the Duration spent solving since the last (re)start, at least 0
