How do I choose the right concurrent collection for my needs?

I'm trying to decide which concurrent collection to use in my Java application. Any tips?

Sure! It depends on your specific use case. Are you looking for high throughput, low latency, or a specific data structure?

I need something that can handle a lot of read and write operations simultaneously.

In that case, you might want to consider using ConcurrentHashMap for key-value pairs or CopyOnWriteArrayList for a list structure.

What are the trade-offs between these two?

ConcurrentHashMap offers better performance for concurrent reads and writes, while CopyOnWriteArrayList is great for scenarios with more reads than writes.
