ThreadPoolExecutor vs ForkJoinPool: stealing subtasks
From java docs, A ForkJoinPool differs from other kinds of ExecutorService mainly by virtue of employing work-stealing: all threads in the pool attempt to find and execute subtasks created by other active tasks (eventually blocking waiting for work if none exist). This enables efficient processing when most tasks spawn other subtasks (as do most ForkJoinTasks). When setting asyncMode to true in constructors, ForkJoinPools may also be appropriate for use with event-style tasks that are never joined. After going through below ForkJoinPool example , Unlike ThreadPoolExecutor, I have not seen
