## Interface IgniteCountDownLatch

- All Superinterfaces:
    `AutoCloseable`, `Closeable`

      public interface IgniteCountDownLatch
      extends Closeable

  This interface provides a rich API for working with distributed count down latch.

  # Functionality

  Distributed count down latch provides functionality similar to `java.util.CountDownLatch`. Note that you cannot remove count down latch having count greater that zero. It should be counted down to zero first.

  # Creating Distributed Count Down Latch

  Instance of cache count down latch can be created by calling the following method: `Ignite.countDownLatch(String, int, boolean, boolean)`.

- - ### Method Detail

    - #### name

          String name()

      Gets name of the latch.
      Returns:
        Name of the latch.

    - #### count

          int count()

      Gets current count value of the latch.
      Returns:
        Current count.

    - #### initialCount

          int initialCount()

      Gets initial count value of the latch.
      Returns:
        Initial count.

    - #### autoDelete

          boolean autoDelete()

      Gets `autoDelete` flag. If this flag is `true` latch is removed from cache when it has been counted down to 0.
      Returns:
        Value of `autoDelete` flag.

    - #### await

          void await()
              throws IgniteException

      Causes the current thread to wait until the latch has counted down to zero, unless current thread is interrupted.

      If the current count of the latch is zero then this method returns immediately.

      If the current count is greater than zero then the current thread becomes disabled for thread scheduling purposes and lies dormant until one of two things happen:

      - The count reaches zero due to invocations of the `countDown()` method on any node; or
      - Some other thread interrupts the current thread.

      If the current thread:

      - has its interrupted status set on entry to this method; or
      - is interrupted while waiting,
      then `IgniteInterruptedCheckedException` is thrown and the current thread's interrupted status is cleared.
      Throws:
        `IgniteException` - If operation failed.
        `IgniteInterruptedException` - if the current thread is interrupted while waiting

    - #### await

          boolean await​(long timeout)
                 throws IgniteException

      Causes the current thread to wait until the latch has counted down to zero, unless the thread is interrupted, or the specified waiting time elapses.

      If the current count is zero then this method returns immediately with the value `true`.

      If the current count is greater than zero then the current thread becomes disabled for thread scheduling purposes and lies dormant until one of three things happen:

      - The count reaches zero due to invocations of the `countDown()` method on any node; or
      - Some other thread interrupts the current thread; or
      - The specified waiting time elapses.

      If the count reaches zero then the method returns with the value `true`.

      If the current thread:

      - has its interrupted status set on entry to this method; or
      - is interrupted while waiting,
      then `IgniteInterruptedCheckedException` is thrown and the current thread's interrupted status is cleared.

      If the specified waiting time elapses then the value `false` is returned. If the time is less than or equal to zero, the method will not wait at all.

      Parameters:
        `timeout` - The maximum time to wait in milliseconds.
      Returns:
        `True` if the count reached zero and `false` if the waiting time elapsed before the count reached zero.
      Throws:
        `IgniteInterruptedException` - If the current thread is interrupted while waiting.
        `IgniteException` - If operation failed.

    - #### await

          boolean await​(long timeout,
                        TimeUnit unit)
                 throws IgniteException

      Causes the current thread to wait until the latch has counted down to zero, unless the thread is interrupted, or the specified waiting time elapses.

      If the current count is zero then this method returns immediately with the value `true`.

      If the current count is greater than zero then the current thread becomes disabled for thread scheduling purposes and lies dormant until one of three things happen:

      - The count reaches zero due to invocations of the `countDown()` method on any node; or
      - Some other thread interrupts the current thread; or
      - The specified waiting time elapses.

      If the count reaches zero then the method returns with the value `true`.

      If the current thread:

      - has its interrupted status set on entry to this method; or
      - is interrupted while waiting,
      then `IgniteInterruptedCheckedException` is thrown and the current thread's interrupted status is cleared.

      If the specified waiting time elapses then the value `false` is returned. If the time is less than or equal to zero, the method will not wait at all.

      Parameters:
        `timeout` - The maximum time to wait.
        `unit` - The time unit of the `timeout` argument.
      Returns:
        `True` if the count reached zero and `false` if the waiting time elapsed before the count reached zero.
      Throws:
        `IgniteInterruptedException` - If the current thread is interrupted while waiting.
        `IgniteException` - If operation failed.

    - #### countDown

          int countDown()
                 throws IgniteException

      Decrements the count of the latch, releasing all waiting threads on all nodes if the count reaches zero.

      If the current count is greater than zero then it is decremented. If the new count is zero then all waiting threads are re-enabled for thread scheduling purposes.

      If the current count equals zero then nothing happens.

      Returns:
        Count after decrement.
      Throws:
        `IgniteException` - If operation failed.

    - #### countDown

          int countDown​(int val)
                 throws IgniteException

      Decreases the count of the latch using passed in value, releasing all waiting threads on all nodes if the count reaches zero.

      If the current count is greater than zero then it is decreased. If the new count is zero then all waiting threads are re-enabled for thread scheduling purposes.

      If the current count equals zero then nothing happens.

      Parameters:
        `val` - Value to decrease counter on.
      Returns:
        Count after decreasing.
      Throws:
        `IgniteException` - If operation failed.

    - #### countDownAll

          void countDownAll()
                     throws IgniteException

      Counts down this latch to zero, releasing all waiting threads on all nodes.

      If the current count equals zero then nothing happens.

      Throws:
        `IgniteException` - If operation failed.

    - #### removed

          boolean removed()

      Gets `removed` status of the latch.
      Returns:
        `True` if latch was removed from cache, `false` otherwise.

    - #### close

          void close()

      Removes this count down latch.
      Specified by:
        `close` in interface `AutoCloseable`
      Specified by:
        `close` in interface `Closeable`
      Throws:
        `IgniteException` - If operation failed.
