Answer
Lock striping locks only parts of a data structure to increase concurrency.
Lock striping is a technique used in ConcurrentHashMap to improve concurrency by locking only specific segments (or stripes) of the map during updates, rather than the entire map. This allows other operations to proceed on different segments. Imagine a store with multiple checkout counters; each counter is a stripe, allowing multiple customers to be checked out simultaneously.
