public interface AsyncStoppable extends Stoppable
Stoppable object whose stop process can be performed asynchronously.| Modifier and Type | Method and Description |

requestStop()
Requests that this stoppable commence a graceful stop.
|
void requestStop()
Requests that this stoppable commence a graceful stop. Does not block. You should call Stoppable.stop() to wait for the stop process to complete.
Generally, an AsyncStoppable should continue to complete existing work after this method has returned.
It should, however, stop accepting new work.
Requesting stopping does not guarantee the stoppable actually stops. Requesting stopping means preparing for stopping; stopping accepting new work. You have to call stop at some point anyway if your intention is to completely stop the stoppable.
