Java 8: Parallel FOR loop

by

Read up on streams, they’re all the new rage.

Pay especially close attention to the bit about parallelism:

“Processing elements with an explicit for-loop is inherently serial. Streams facilitate parallel execution by reframing the computation as a pipeline of aggregate operations, rather than as imperative operations on each individual element. All streams operations can execute either in serial or in parallel.”

So to recap, there are no parallel for-loops, they’re inherently serial. Streams however can do the job. Take a look at the following code:

    Set<Server> servers = getServers();
    Map<String, String> serverData = new ConcurrentHashMap<>();

    servers.parallelStream().forEach((server) -> {
        serverData.put(server.getIdentifier(), server.fetchData());
    });
