移相器（Phaser）内有2个重要状态，分别是phase和party。
phase就是阶段，初值为0，当所有的线程执行完本轮任务，同时开始下一轮任务时，意味着当前阶段已结束，进入到下一阶段，phase的值自动加1。
party就是线程，party=4就意味着Phaser对象当前管理着4个线程。
Phaser还有一个重要的方法经常需要被重载，那就是boolean onAdvance(int phase, int registeredParties)方法。此方法有2个作用：
1、当每一个阶段执行完毕，此方法会被自动调用，因此，重载此方法写入的代码会在每个阶段执行完毕时执行，相当于CyclicBarrier的barrierAction。
2、当此方法返回true时，意味着Phaser被终止，因此可以巧妙的设置此方法的返回值来终止所有线程。
例如：若此方法返回值为 phase>=3，其含义为当整个线程执行了4个阶段后，程序终止。
Phaser把多个线程执行的任务划分成多个阶段（phase），编程时要明确各个阶段的任务，每个阶段都可以有任意个参与者，线程可以随时注册并参与到某个阶段，当一个阶段中所有线程都成功完成之后，Phaser的onAdvance()被调用，可以通过覆盖添加自定义处理逻辑（类似循环屏障（关卡）使用的Runnable接口），然后Phaser类会自动进入下个阶段。如此循环，直到Phaser不再包含任何参与者。
register()，bulkRegister()，动态添加一个或多个参与者。
arrive()，某个参与者完成任务后调用
arriveAndDeregister()，任务完成，取消自己的注册。
arriveAndAwaitAdvance()，自己完成等待其他参与者完成：进入阻塞，直到Phaser成功进入下个阶段。
awaitAdvance()、awaitAdvanceInterruptibly()，等待phaser进入下个阶段，参数为当前阶段的编号，后者可以设置超时和处理中断请求。
另外，Phaser的一个重要特征是多个Phaser可以组成树形结构，Phaser提供了构造方法来指定当前对象的父对象；当一个子对象参与者>0，会自动注册到父对象中；当=0，自动解除注册。

Phaser初始化为3，之后customer线程取消自己的注册（此时只有两个生产者线程间进行同步），awaitAdvance不会阻塞，它直接返回。
两个生产者线程，依次生成结果放置到AtomicReferenceArray中。消费者线程每睡眠80Ms后，从结果集中，把当前已经完成的结果打印出来。
某次运行结果如下：
