executor

public ScheduledExecutorService executor()

The general-purpose desk executor, an asynchronous executor that employs a single thread, the "desk executor" thread.

Most of its activity consists of dispatching events to other processes on the host. Parallel dispatch helps to avoid distributed deadlock during event handling. And the buffering provided by the executor's queue helps to keep other processes unblocked during bursts of activity.
