Leveraging thread-safe collections to mitigate concurrency issues

Having already explored the basics of concurrent collections and atomic variables, let’s focus on advanced strategies for utilizing these thread-safe collections to further mitigate concurrency issues in Java.

The following are the advanced uses of concurrent collections:

• Optimized access patterns: Optimized access patterns refer to using specific concurrent collection classes that are designed for particular usage scenarios in multi-threaded environments. These classes provide efficient ways to handle common patterns of concurrent access, such as frequent reads and writes, queue processing, or read-mostly data structures:
  • ConcurrentHashMap: Ideal for scenarios with a high volume of concurrent read and write operations. Utilize its advanced functions such as computeIfAbsent for atomic operations combining checking and adding elements.
  • ConcurrentLinkedQueue: Best for queue-based data processing models...
