/**
 * A {@link ThreadPoolExecutor} that can additionally schedule
 * commands to run after a given delay, or to execute
 * periodically. This class is preferable to {@link java.util.Timer}
 * when multiple worker threads are needed, or when the additional
 * flexibility or capabilities of {@link ThreadPoolExecutor} (which
 * this class extends) are required.
 *
 * <p> Delayed tasks execute no sooner than they are enabled, but
 * without any real-time guarantees about when, after they are
 * enabled, they will commence. Tasks scheduled for exactly the same
 * execution time are enabled in first-in-first-out (FIFO) order of
 * submission.
 *
 * <p>While this class inherits from {@link ThreadPoolExecutor}, a few
 * of the inherited tuning methods are not useful for it. In
 * particular, because it acts as a fixed-sized pool using
 * {@code corePoolSize} threads and an unbounded queue, adjustments
 * to {@code maximumPoolSize} have no useful effect. Additionally, it
 * is almost never a good idea to set {@code corePoolSize} to zero or
 * use {@code allowCoreThreadTimeOut} because this may leave the pool
 * without threads to handle tasks once they become eligible to run.
 *
 * <p><b>Extension notes:</b> This class overrides the
 * {@link ThreadPoolExecutor#execute execute} and
 * {@link AbstractExecutorService#submit(Runnable) submit}
 * methods to generate internal {@link ScheduledFuture} objects to
 * control per-task delays and scheduling.  To preserve
 * functionality, any further overrides of these methods in
 * subclasses must invoke superclass versions, which effectively
 * disables additional task customization.  However, this class
 * provides alternative protected extension method
 * {@code decorateTask} (one version each for {@code Runnable} and
 * {@code Callable}) that can be used to customize the concrete task
 * types used to execute commands entered via {@code execute},
 * {@code submit}, {@code schedule}, {@code scheduleAtFixedRate},
 * and {@code scheduleWithFixedDelay}.  By default, a
 * {@code ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor} uses a task type extending
 * {@link FutureTask}. However, this may be modified or replaced using
 * subclasses of the form:
 *
 *  <pre> {@code
 * public class CustomScheduledExecutor extends ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor {
 *
 *   static class CustomTask<V> implements RunnableScheduledFuture<V> { ... }
 *
 *   protected <V> RunnableScheduledFuture<V> decorateTask(
 *                Runnable r, RunnableScheduledFuture<V> task) {
 *       return new CustomTask<V>(r, task);
 *   }
 *
 *   protected <V> RunnableScheduledFuture<V> decorateTask(
 *                Callable<V> c, RunnableScheduledFuture<V> task) {
 *       return new CustomTask<V>(c, task);
 *   }
 *   // ... add constructors, etc.
 * }}</pre>

    /*
     * This class specializes ThreadPoolExecutor implementation by
     *
     * 1. Using a custom task type, ScheduledFutureTask for
     *    tasks, even those that don't require scheduling (i.e.,
     *    those submitted using ExecutorService execute, not
     *    ScheduledExecutorService methods) which are treated as
     *    delayed tasks with a delay of zero.
     *
     * 2. Using a custom queue (DelayedWorkQueue) based on an
     *    unbounded DelayQueue. The lack of capacity constraint and
     *    the fact that corePoolSize and maximumPoolSize are
     *    effectively identical simplifies some execution mechanics
     *    (see delayedExecute) compared to ThreadPoolExecutor
     *    version.
     *
     *    The DelayedWorkQueue class is defined below for the sake of
     *    ensuring that all elements are instances of
     *    RunnableScheduledFuture.  Since DelayQueue otherwise
     *    requires type be Delayed, but not necessarily Runnable, and
     *    the workQueue requires the opposite, we need to explicitly
     *    define a class that requires both to ensure that users don't
     *    add objects that aren't RunnableScheduledFutures via
     *    getQueue().add() etc.
     *
     * 3. Supporting optional run-after-shutdown parameters, which
     *    leads to overrides of shutdown methods to remove and cancel
     *    tasks that should NOT be run after shutdown, as well as
     *    different recheck logic when task (re)submission overlaps
     *    with a shutdown.
     *
     * 4. Task decoration methods to allow interception and
     *    instrumentation, which are needed because subclasses cannot
     *    otherwise override submit methods to get this effect. These
     *    don't have any impact on pool control logic though.
