The Java 9 API provides several data structures to work with concurrent applications. From these, we want to highlight the following two data structures:
- LinkedTransferQueue: This data structure is supposed to be used in programs that have a producer/consumer structure. In such applications, you have one or more producers of data and one or more consumers of data, and a data structure is shared by all of them.

If it is full, producers are blocked until they have space to put data.
