Can I restart an ExecutorService to start accepting new task after it has been shutdown?

If you look at the documentation, there is no method to restart an
ExecutorService, as it is an interface without such a method you can infer that there is no way to restart it. That said, asExecutorServiceis an interface, you could conceivably write an implementation that does restart (but you would have to reference it by its concrete type or another interface). I wouldn’t recommend it though. Just use the existing ones and recreate them as necessary.
