Functional Programming in Java, Second Edition: Chapter 9, p.164 addendum to "parallel stream"
In Chapter 9, p.164 the stream is parallelized in 1 step.
This inspired my to write some test some code to call a task “in parallel”:
- Not in parallel, inside a loop
- Using ThreadGroups (essentially ‘temporary worker pools’) to run “slices” of the list the tasks in parallel
- Using a Java 8
ForkJoinPool - Using a Java 8 parallel stream.
Not sure whether this is of interest, the most interesting part is the handling of checked and unchecked exceptions.
