I’m working on a Java application that handles a large volume of data processing tasks. Currently, the application runs sequentially, but I want to improve performance by introducing multi-threading. However, I am concerned about potential resource contention and race conditions.
Here are some specifics:
The tasks involve frequent access to shared resources, including reading and writing to databases.
The current code uses synchronized blocks to ensure thread safety, but it’s becoming a bottleneck.
I’ve read about using java.util.concurrent but am unsure about the best approach for reducing contention while maximizing performance.
What would be a good strategy for implementing multi-threading while avoiding common pitfalls like deadlock or contention? Any specific patterns or tools I should consider in Java?
