- Method Detail
  - execute
```
<T> T execute(Operation<T> operation)
```
    Executes some code, returning a value.
    
    Type Parameters:
    
    T - Return value type of the operation.
    
    Parameters:
    
    operation - The operation to execute.
    
    Returns:
    
    Return value of the operation.
  - executeBackground
```
<T> BackgroundOperation<T> executeBackground(Operation<T> operation)
```
    Starts executing some code in the background.
    
    Type Parameters:
    
    T - Return value type of the operation.
    
    Parameters:
    
    operation - The operation to execute in the background.
    
    Returns:
    
    An object for retrieving the result of the operation later.
  - getWeight
```
int getWeight()
```
    Returns the relative weight of this executor. The weights of different operation executors can be used to distribute work more equally.
    
    Returns:
    
    The relative weight of this operation executor.
