docs(concurrency): add detailed notes on Executors Framework in Java
WHAT was added: - Comprehensive overview of Executors Framework (introduced in Java 5, part of java.util.concurrent). - Clear explanation of WHY Executors are used: • Efficient thread pooling (reuse vs manual creation). • Reduced thread lifecycle overhead. • Built-in pooling strategies for different workloads. • Automatic handling of thread lifecycle. - Key components highlighted: • Executor → base interface with execute(Runnable). • ExecutorService → advanced thread pool management (submit, shutdown, etc.). • Executors → factory class for creating various thread pools. • Future → async result handling. - Detailed tables describing thread pool types: • FixedThreadPool → bounded concurrency. • CachedThreadPool → dynamic scaling, reuses idle threads. • SingleThreadExecutor → sequential task execution. • ScheduledThreadPool → supports delayed and periodic tasks. - Advantages section included in two styles: • Bullet list with emojis (easy scan). • Extended explanation of performance, scalability, flexibility, and resource management. WHY this matters: - Provides a theoretical foundation for Java concurrency and thread pooling. - Serves as a quick reference for choosing the right Executor type for different scenarios. - Reinforces best practices (thread reuse > manual thread creation). HINTS / NEXT STEPS: - Always call shutdown() or shutdownNow() on ExecutorService to avoid resource leaks. - FixedThreadPool → best for CPU-bound or predictable workloads. - CachedThreadPool → good for many short-lived async tasks but avoid unbounded growth. - SingleThreadExecutor → ensures task order and sequential execution. - ScheduledThreadPool → preferred over Timer/TimerTask for recurring tasks.
