Mastering Concurrency Programming with Java 9, Second Edition - Second Edition

By: Javier Fernández González

Overview of this book

Concurrency programming allows several large tasks to be divided into smaller sub-tasks, which are further processed as individual tasks that run in parallel. Java 9 includes a comprehensive API with lots of ready-to-use components for easily implementing powerful concurrency applications, but with high flexibility so you can adapt these components to your needs. The book starts with a full description of the design principles of concurrent applications and explains how to parallelize a sequential algorithm. You will then be introduced to Threads and Runnables, which are an integral part of Java 9's concurrency API. You will see how to use all the components of the Java concurrency API, from the basics to the most advanced techniques, and will implement them in powerful real-world concurrency applications. The book ends with a detailed description of the tools and techniques you can use to test a concurrent Java application, along with a brief insight into other concurrency mechanisms in JVM.

Chapter 9. Processing Massive Datasets with Parallel Streams - The Map and Collect Model

In Chapter 8, Processing Massive Datasets with Parallel Streams - The Map and Reduce Model, we introduced the concept of streams . A Stream is a sequence of elements that can be processed in a parallel or sequential way. In this chapter, you will learn how to work with streams with the following topics:

  • The collect() method
  • The first example - searching data without indexing
  • The second example - a recommendation system
  • The third example - common contacts in a social network
