### Uses of ThreadFactory in java.util.concurrent

Methods in java.util.concurrent that return ThreadFactory
Modifier and Type | Method and Description
--- | ---
`static ThreadFactory` | Executors.`defaultThreadFactory()` Returns a default thread factory used to create new threads.
`ThreadFactory` | ThreadPoolExecutor.`getThreadFactory()` Returns the thread factory used to create new threads.
`static ThreadFactory` | Executors.`privilegedThreadFactory()` Returns a thread factory used to create new threads that have the same permissions as the current thread.

Methods in java.util.concurrent with parameters of type ThreadFactory
Modifier and Type | Method and Description
--- | ---
`static ExecutorService` | Executors.`newCachedThreadPool(ThreadFactory threadFactory)` Creates a thread pool that creates new threads as needed, but will reuse previously constructed threads when they are available, and uses the provided ThreadFactory to create new threads when needed.
`static ExecutorService` | Executors.`newFixedThreadPool(int nThreads, ThreadFactory threadFactory)` Creates a thread pool that reuses a fixed number of threads operating off a shared unbounded queue, using the provided ThreadFactory to create new threads when needed.
`static ScheduledExecutorService` | Executors.`newScheduledThreadPool(int corePoolSize, ThreadFactory threadFactory)` Creates a thread pool that can schedule commands to run after a given delay, or to execute periodically.
`static ExecutorService` | Executors.`newSingleThreadExecutor(ThreadFactory threadFactory)` Creates an Executor that uses a single worker thread operating off an unbounded queue, and uses the provided ThreadFactory to create a new thread when needed.
`static ScheduledExecutorService` | Executors.`newSingleThreadScheduledExecutor(ThreadFactory threadFactory)` Creates a single-threaded executor that can schedule commands to run after a given delay, or to execute periodically.
`void` | ThreadPoolExecutor.`setThreadFactory(ThreadFactory threadFactory)` Sets the thread factory used to create new threads.

Constructors in java.util.concurrent with parameters of type ThreadFactory
Constructor and Description
`ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor(int corePoolSize, ThreadFactory threadFactory)` Creates a new `ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor` with the given initial parameters.
`ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor(int corePoolSize, ThreadFactory threadFactory, RejectedExecutionHandler handler)` Creates a new ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor with the given initial parameters.
`ThreadPoolExecutor(int corePoolSize, int maximumPoolSize, long keepAliveTime, TimeUnit unit, BlockingQueue<Runnable> workQueue, ThreadFactory threadFactory)` Creates a new `ThreadPoolExecutor` with the given initial parameters and default rejected execution handler.
`ThreadPoolExecutor(int corePoolSize, int maximumPoolSize, long keepAliveTime, TimeUnit unit, BlockingQueue<Runnable> workQueue, ThreadFactory threadFactory, RejectedExecutionHandler handler)` Creates a new `ThreadPoolExecutor` with the given initial parameters.
