Answer
By locking only parts of the map. Frame the concept in practical terms so you can explain it during interview discussion.
Lock striping in ConcurrentHashMap reduces contention by allowing multiple threads to lock different parts of the map simultaneously. This means that operations on distinct segments can proceed without interference, improving performance during concurrent updates, like managing different product categories in an inventory system.
