Я написал этот класс для решения аналогичной проблемы:
/**
* Linked blocking queue with {@link #add(Object)} method, which adds only element, that is not already in the queue.
*/
public class SetBlockingQueue<T> extends LinkedBlockingQueue<T> {
private Set<T> set = Collections.newSetFromMap(new ConcurrentHashMap<>());
/**
* Add only element, that is not already enqueued.
* The method is synchronized, so that the duplicate elements can't get in during race condition.
* @param t object to put in
* @return true, if the queue was changed, false otherwise
*/
@Override
public synchronized boolean add(T t) {
if (set.contains(t)) {
return false;
} else {
set.add(t);
return super.add(t);
}
}
/**
* Takes the element from the queue.
* Note that no synchronization with {@link #add(Object)} is here, as we don't care about the element staying in the set longer needed.
* @return taken element
* @throws InterruptedException
*/
@Override
public T take() throws InterruptedException {
T t = super.take();
set.remove(t);
return t;
}
}
