Executor Implementations
Explore how Java executors implement the consumer-producer pattern to process tasks efficiently. Understand the limitations of sequential and unbounded thread approaches when handling multiple requests and prepare to learn about thread pools that optimize thread management in concurrent programming.

Executors are based on consumer-producer patterns. The tasks we produce for processing are consumed by threads. To better our understanding of how threads behave, imagine you are hired by a hedge fund on Wall Street and you are asked to design a method that can process client purchase orders as soon as possible. Let's see what are the possible ways to design this method.
Sequential Approach
The method simply accepts an order and ...
