在学习Java 多线程并发开发过程中，了解到DelayQueue类的主要作用：是一个*的BlockingQueue，用于放置实现了Delayed接口的对象，其中的对象只能在其到期时才能从队列中取走。这种队列是有序的，即队头对象的延迟到期时间最长。注意：不能将null元素放置到这种队列中。
Delayed，一种混合风格的接口，用来标记那些应该在给定延迟时间之后执行的对象。此接口的实现必须定义一个 compareTo 方法，该方法提供与此接口的 getDelay 方法一致的排序。
在网上也看到两个示例，但这两个示例个人在实际运行时均没有达到满足业务场景的效果，因而对其进行了修改，供大家参考讨论。
业务场景一：多考生考试
该场景来自于http://ideasforjava.iteye.com/blog/657384，模拟一个考试的日子，考试时间为120分钟，30分钟后才可交卷，当时间到了，或学生都交完卷了考试结束。
这个场景中几个点需要注意：
- 考试时间为120分钟，30分钟后才可交卷，初始化考生完成试卷时间最小应为30分钟
- 对于能够在120分钟内交卷的考生，如何实现这些考生交卷
- 对于120分钟内没有完成考试的考生，在120分钟考试时间到后需要让他们强制交卷
- 在所有的考生都交完卷后，需要将控制线程关闭
实现思想：用DelayQueue存储考生（Student类），每一个考生都有自己的名字和完成试卷的时间，Teacher线程对DelayQueue进行监控，收取完成试卷小于120分钟的学生的试卷。当考试时间120分钟到时，先关闭Teacher线程，然后强制DelayQueue中还存在的考生交卷。每一个考生交卷都会进行一次countDownLatch.countDown()，当countDownLatch.await()不再阻塞说明所有考生都交完卷了，而后结束考试。

业务场景二：具有过期时间的缓存
该场景来自于http://www.cnblogs.com/jobs/archive/2007/04/27/730255.html，向缓存添加内容时，给每一个key设定过期时间，系统自动将超过过期时间的key清除。
这个场景中几个点需要注意：
- 当向缓存中添加key-value对时，如果这个key在缓存中存在并且还没有过期，需要用这个key对应的新过期时间
- 为了能够让DelayQueue将其已保存的key删除，需要重写实现Delayed接口添加到DelayQueue的DelayedItem的hashCode函数和equals函数
- 当缓存关闭，监控程序也应关闭，因而监控线程应当用守护线程
具体实现如下：
package com.my.base.concurrent.delayQueue; import java.util.Random;
import java.util.concurrent.ConcurrentHashMap;
import java.util.concurrent.DelayQueue;
import java.util.concurrent.Delayed;
import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit; /**
