CountDownLatch

A java.util.concurrent.CountDownLatch is a concurrency construct that allows one or more threads to wait for a given set of operations to complete.
A CountDownLatch is initialized with a given count. This count is decremented by calls to the countDown() method. Threads waiting for this count to reach zero can call one of the await() methods. Calling await() blocks the thread until the count reaches zero.
Below is a simple example. After the Decrementer has called countDown() 3 times on the CountDownLatch, the waiting Waiter is released from the await() call.
