An executor for executing blocking code in Vert.x .

It provides the same executeBlocking operation than Context and Vertx but on a separate worker pool.

public interface WorkerExecutor extends Measured {

  
Safely execute some blocking code.
 Executes the blocking code in the handler blockingCodeHandler using a thread from the worker pool. 
 When the code is complete the handler resultHandler will be called with the result on the original context (i.e. on the original event loop of the caller). 
 A Future instance is passed into blockingCodeHandler. When the blocking code successfully completes, the handler should call the Promise.complete or Promise.complete(Object) method, or the Promise.fail method if it failed. 
 In the blockingCodeHandler the current context remains the original context and therefore any task scheduled in the blockingCodeHandler will be executed on the this context and not on the worker thread. 
Params:
blockingCodeHandler –  handler representing the blocking code to run
resultHandler –  handler that will be called when the blocking code is complete
ordered –  if true then if executeBlocking is called several times on the same context, the executions
                for that context will be executed serially, not in parallel. if false then they will be no ordering
                guarantees
