Using the API

Building the path finder

In order to build the ThreadPoolBidirectionalBFSPathFinder, you have the following (weak) fluent API:

AbstractDelayedGraphPathFinder<DirectedGraphNode> 
            pathfinder = 
                ThreadPoolBidirectionalBFSPathFinderBuilder
                .<DirectedGraphNode>begin()
                .withNumberOfRequestedThreads(REQUESTED_NUMBER_OF_THREADS)
                .withMasterThreadSleepDurationMillis(MASTER_THREAD_SLEEP_DURATION)
                .withSlaveThreadSleepDurationMillis(SLAVE_THREAD_SLEEP_DURATION)
                .withNumberOfMasterTrials(MASTER_THREAD_TRIALS)
                .withJoinDurationMillis(EXPANSION_JOIN_DURATION_MILLIS)
                .withLockWaitMillis(LOCK_WAIT_DURATION_MILLIS)
                .end();

Above, any chained method whose name starts with with may be ommitted, in which case the default value will be used.

Invoking the search

In order to build the pathfinding invocation, there are four options available:

List<DirectedGraphNode> path;

// Search in undirected graph without progress logging:
path = ThreadPoolBidirectionalBFSPathFinderSearchBuilder.
                <DirectedGraphNode>withPathFinder(pathfinder)
                .withSourceNode(source)
                .withTargetNode(target)
                .withUndirectedGraphNodeExpander(forwardNodeExpander)
                .search();

// Search in undirected graph with progress logging:
path = ThreadPoolBidirectionalBFSPathFinderSearchBuilder.
                <DirectedGraphNode>withPathFinder(pathfinder)
                .withSourceNode(source)
                .withTargetNode(target)
                .withUndirectedGraphNodeExpander(forwardNodeExpander)
                .withForwardSearchProgressLogger(null)
                .withBackwardSearchProgressLogger(null)
                .withSharedSearchProgressLogger(null)
                .search();

// Search in directed graph without progress logging:
path = ThreadPoolBidirectionalBFSPathFinderSearchBuilder.
                <DirectedGraphNode>withPathFinder(pathfinder)
                .withSourceNode(source)
                .withTargetNode(target)
                .withForwardNodeExpander(forwardNodeExpander)
                .withBackwardNodeExpander(backwardNodeExpander)
                .search();

// Search in directed graph with progress logging:
path = ThreadPoolBidirectionalBFSPathFinderSearchBuilder.
                <DirectedGraphNode>withPathFinder(pathfinder)
                .withSourceNode(source)
                .withTargetNode(target)
                .withForwardNodeExpander(forwardNodeExpander)
                .withBackwardNodeExpander(backwardNodeExpander)
                .withForwardSearchProgressLogger(null)
                .withBackwardSearchProgressLogger(null)
                .withSharedSearchProgressLogger(null)
                .search();
