SynchronousQueue

The SynchronousQueue
class implements the BlockingQueue
interface.
Read the BlockingQueue
text for more information about the interface.
The SynchronousQueue
is a queue that can be used to exchange a single element with another thread.
A thread inserting an element into the queue is blocked until another thread takes that element from the queue.
Likewise, if a thread tries to take an element and no element is currently present, that thread is blocked
until a thread insert an element into the queue.
Calling this class a queue is a bit of an overstatement. It's more of a rendesvouz point.
Next: BlockingDeque
