Java: Timeouts and Retries
Answer
Set timeouts and use asynchronous requests to manage resource use.
Infinite thread exhaustion occurs when threads are consumed indefinitely, usually during network failures. By setting timeouts and using asynchronous patterns like CompletableFuture, you can avoid blocking threads. For example, in a high-traffic e-commerce store, you might use CompletableFuture to handle inventory updates asynchronously, preventing thread blocking during server outages.
