Interface Notifier

All Known Implementing Classes:
ConcurrentNotifier, SingleWaiterCooperativeNotifier, SingleWaiterMultiNotifier
public interface Notifier
A Condition-like object, used to block thread(s) for a notification.

Unlike Condition no external locking or synchronization is needed with Notifiers; i.e. clients need not synchronize on this class prior to calling await() or signal(), nor should they use any of the primitive wait() or notify() methods. Note: the Notifiers are expected to be Timeout compatible.*
