Always try to submit independent tasks to the Executor. Thread starvation issues can be mitigated by choosing a large pool size. Note that operations that have further constraints, such as the total number of database connections or total ResultSets open at a particular time, impose an upper bound on the thread pool size as each thread continues to block until the resource becomes available. The other rules of fair concurrency, such as not running time consuming tasks, also apply. When this is not possible, obtaining expecting to obtain real time result guarantees from the execution of tasks is usually conceivably, an unattainable unreasonable target.

Sometimes, a {{private static}} {{ThreadLocal}} variable is used per thread to maintain local state. When using thread pools, {{ThreadLocal}} variable should be used only if their lifetime is shorter than that of the corresponding task \[[Goetz 06|AA. Java References#Goetz 06]\]. Moreover, such variables should not be used as a communication mechanism between tasks. |
