Java Multithreading and Parallel Programming Masterclass - Work Queues for ThreadPools

The video tutorial explains the thread pool executor class and its usage with different types of blocking queues. It covers the array blocking queue, which is bounded and helps manage memory usage, and unbounded queues like the linked blocking queue, which can lead to memory issues. The synchronous queue is also discussed, highlighting its direct task-to-thread assignment and potential for task rejection. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of choosing the right queue type for optimal thread pool performance.

What happens when the maximum pool size is reached and the queue is full?

How does an unbounded queue differ from a bounded queue?

What are the potential risks of using an unbounded queue in a high throughput application?
