18. Stream notes: Short circuiting
Random random = new Random();
int[] result = IntStream
.generate(() ->random.nextInt())
.sorted()
.toArray();

19. Stream notes: parallel forEach
DEMO

20. Stream notes: parallel forEach
• forEach does not preserve order!
• Use forEachOrdered if order matters

21. Stream notes: not reusable
IntStream stream = Arrays.stream(new int[]{1, 2, 3, 4});
List<Object> list = stream.boxed().collect(Collectors.toList());
// this throws java.lang.IllegalStateException
double average = stream.average().getAsDouble();

22. Optional results 1
public String findById(int id) {
// ...
return …;
}

23. Optional results 2
public String findById(int id) {
// ...
return …;
}
String result = findById(10);

24. Optional results 3
public String findById(int id) {
// ...
return …;
}
String result = findById(10);
prefix = result.substring(0, 3);

25. Optional results 4
public String findById(int id) {
// ...
return …;
}
String result = findById(10);
if(result != null) {
prefix = result.substring(0, 3);
}

26. Optional results 5
public String ? findById(int id) {
// ...
return …;
}
String result = findById(10);
prefix = result.substring(0, 3);

27. Optional results 6
public Optional<String>
findById(int id) {
// ...
return …;
}
if(result.isPresent()) {
}

28. Annotations
public @NonNull String findById(int id) {
// ...
return …;
}

29. Checker framework
http://types.cs.washington.edu/checker-
framework/current/checkers-manual.html

30. Checker framework
• @Interned String intern() { ... } // return value
• int compareTo(@NonNull String other) { ... } // parameter
• String toString(@ReadOnly MyClass this) { ... } // receiver
• @NonNull List<@Interned String> messages; // generics: non-
null list of interned Strings
• @Interned String @NonNull [] messages; // arrays: non-null
array of interned Strings
• myDate = (@ReadOnly Date) readonlyObject; // cast

31. Arrays.parallelSort
• Works faster
• Everyting has own cost
– DualPivotQuickSort - sequental
– MergeSort - parallel

32. Parallel sort of 50M elements
(on my 4 core laptop)
• Single threaded DualPivotQuickSort: 47sec
• Parallel merge sort: 21sec
• Sequential stream: 95sec
• Parallel stream: 104sec

33. Parallelism, is it good or bad?
(example)
• 2 CPU
• Concurrent clients - 1000 queries per second
• Single sequential sort - 2ms
• Single parallel sort - 1ms + sync overhead ~1.2ms
• Less transactions per second with parallel sort
• Parallel algorithms do not always fit well

34. HashMap

37. MissionControl
• Cool tool for JVM diagnostics
• Comes with JDK installation (jmc executable
• Now we have 3 similar tools in JDK
– jconsole
– jvisualvm
– jms

38. Future of frameworks
• Type-safe property references in Hibernate-
like query languages
• JUnit, Mockito-like frameworks with method
references
• Event handlers
• Better XML and JSON serializers
• - ….
