Parallel-Ready Java Code: Managing Mutation in an Imperative Language
summary
Java 8 streams give parallelism without manual locking by using the Collectors API to supply fresh containers per thread so non-threadsafe lists and maps work safely; spliterators split input for concurrent workers and the framework merges results. Key rules: avoid stateful lambdas, don’t modify the source during evaluation, and prefer associative reductions or suppliers produce fresh containers and collectors over naive reduce. Over 40 built-in stream sources exist and predefined collectors cover almost all common cases; it works when those rules are followed. spliterator splits data for threads
