> This collection needs to be thread safe and it needs to repeatedly poll the 
> queue to drain it, so use {{BlockingQueue}} which has a {{drain()}} method 
> just for this purpose:
> {quote}
> This operation may be more efficient than repeatedly polling this queue.
> {quote}
> [https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/util/concurrent/BlockingQueue.html#drainTo(java.util.Collection,%20int)]
> Also, the collection returns 'null' if there is nothing to drain from the 
> queue.  This is a confusing and error-prone affect.  It should just return an 
> empty list.  I've also updated the code to be more consistent and to return a 
> java {{List}} in all places instead of a {{List}} in some and a native array 
> in others.  This will make the entire usage much more consistent and safe.
