Thread safe Collections –
- ConcurrentHashMap
Thread safe without having to synchronize the whole map
Very fast reads while write is done with a lock
No locking at the object level
Uses multitude of locks.
- SynchronizedHashMap
Object level synchronization
Both read and writes acquire a lock
Locking the collection has a performance drawback
May cause contention
