- [Instructor] To create thread pools in Java, I'll be using the ExecutorService interface, which is defined in the java.util.concurrent package. It serves as a higher level interface for launching new runnable tasks rather than working with threads directly. And it includes several features to help manage the lifecycle of individual tasks as well as the executor itself. Under the hood, the executor service manages a pool of threads, so we don't have to create new threads manually. The executor maintains a queue of the tasks that get submitted to it and then it uses the existing threads in its thread pool to run those tasks asynchronously. The executors class provides several factory methods for creating different kinds of executor services. Two of the most common methods are the new single thread executor, which creates an executor that reuses a single worker thread to execute the tasks that are submitted to its queue and the new fixed thread pool method, which creates a thread pool…
