------------------------------------
Hi [~talha123] ,
As [~ggregory] said, I don't own the issue nor am I assigned to it.
I just reported the issue since I saw an opportunity/need to use a setting like
that. I am not actively working on it, and it would be awesome if you and your
team are willing to implement this.
> Fairness setting in TimedSemaphore
> ----------------------------------
>
> Key: LANG-1790
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-1790
> Project: Commons Lang
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: lang.concurrent.*
> Reporter: Mert Kirpici
> Priority: Major
>
> The {{TimedSemaphore}} structure javadocs do not mention anything about
> fairness.
> If this is something that the current implementation does not provide, the
> {{TimedSemaphore}} structure could benefit from a _fairness_ setting like the
> {{java.util.concurrent.Semaphore}} does, which will queue up the threads that
> are blocked by the {{.acquire()}} call and when the timer expires, they will
> be permitted access to the shared resource in a FIFO fashion.
> A possible implementation could be like this in the constructor:
> {{TimedSemaphore(long timePeriod, TimeUnit timeUnit, int limit, boolean
> fair)}}
