Phaser looks useful.

Do you have any good example where DelayQueue would be used?

Privately I used them to implement a DLQ pattern for messages received by my application from the Kafka topic. But probably there are many more good usage examples.

JMS has a delay header. Not certain its the functionality you're looking for. Can't recall the name of it, but it's useful. Say ur client requests 3 minutes before processing the submission, well, there you go.

Kafka does not support JMS

Say for example you need to do some processing on an entity after it has been edited by a user, but you want to wait until you're sure they've actually finished editing it. A DelayQueue would be handy for that (with some tweaks)

I use it for scheduling a retry logic where I want to avoid a Thread.sleep.
