New Concurrency Utilities in Java 8
summary
Java 8 adds concrete tools: CompletableFuture is a CompletionStage-based Future with dozens of fluent methods (thenApply/thenAccept/thenRun, thenCombine, allOf/anyOf), static factories (supplyAsync/runAsync) that default to a singleton ForkJoin commonPool (size = processors − 1), and cancel that does not interrupt the running task. StampedLock supplies optimistic reads with validate and fallback to pessimistic read/write. ConcurrentHashMap gains atomic computeIfAbsent/merge/forEach/search, and LongAdder/Accumulators split counters into cells to reduce contention.
