Is there a way to completely stop a task in java?

I want a task to run at scheduled interval and timeout if it does not complete in required time and continue further iteration.

I have gone through the following answers, but it doesn't address my problem..

How do you kill a Thread in Java?

ExecutorService that interrupts tasks after a timeout

Consider the following case

BasicThreadFactory collectionFactory = new BasicThreadFactory.Builder()
.namingPattern("CollectionExecutor-%d")
.build();
// thread pool size is set 2
// 1-for scheduler thread which runs task and tracks timeout
// 2-for task itself
ScheduledExecutorService collectionExecuter =
Executors.newScheduledThreadPool(2, collectionFactory);
// fires collection every minute and if it is in between execution during
// scheduled time then waits for completion and executes immediately
// after it

//my task:
Runnable runnable= new Runnable()

@Override
public void run()
try
System.out.println("Executed started");
Thread.sleep(2000);
System.out.println("Executed after .get method call.");
catch (InterruptedException e)
e.printStackTrace();

try
Thread.sleep(20000);
System.out.println("Executed even after .cancel method " +
"call (I want this to avoid this.)");
catch (Exception e)
e.printStackTrace();


;


Above task should run with an interval of 3 sec and stop if it takes more than 1 sec...Consider It is not possible to have complete task in single try catch block, now how could I stop the task to wait further in next sleep(20000) and continue with next iteration.

collectionExecuter.scheduleAtFixedRate(new Runnable() //scheduler thread
@Override
public void run()
try
Future<?> future = collectionExecuter.submit(runnable);
try
future.get(1, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

catch (Exception e)
future.cancel(true);
System.out.println("Collection thread did not " +
"completed in 1 Sec.Thread Interrupted");

catch (Exception e)
System.out.println("Unable to start Collection Thread");


, 0, 3, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
}
