What are the common mistakes when using thread pools?

What are the common mistakes when using thread pools?

Some common mistakes include not configuring the pool size correctly, ignoring task completion, and not handling exceptions properly.

How do I determine the right size for my thread pool?

The right size often depends on the number of available CPU cores and the nature of the tasks. A good starting point is to use the number of cores as a baseline.

What happens if my thread pool is too small?

If the thread pool is too small, tasks may queue up, leading to increased latency and potentially causing performance bottlenecks.

Can you explain how to handle exceptions in thread pools?

You should implement a mechanism to catch exceptions within the tasks and log them appropriately, ensuring that the thread pool continues to function.
