Answer
Use ConcurrentHashMap for thread-safe operations without locking the entire map.
HashMap is not synchronized, making it inappropriate for concurrent access without external synchronization. ConcurrentHashMap is designed for concurrent updates, dividing the map into segments to allow safe multi-threaded operations, making it suitable for shared access in a multi-threaded e-commerce server.
