The java.util.concurrent.ConcurrentLinkedDeque
class, which is a member of the Java Collections Framework, offers the ability for multiple threads to safely access the same data collection concurrently. The class implements a double-ended queue, known as a deque, and allows for the insertion and removal of elements from both ends of the deque. It is also known as a head-tail linked list and, like other concurrent collections, does not allow the usage of null elements.
In this recipe we will demonstrate a basic implementation of the ConcurrentLinkedDeque
class and illustrate the use of some of the most common methods.
To use a ConcurrentLinkedDeque
in a producer/consumer framework:
1. Create an instance of a
ConcurrentLinkedDeque
.2. Define the element to place into the deque.
3. Implement a producer thread to generate elements to be placed in the deque.
4. Implement a consumer thread to remove elements from the deque...
