Java Multithreading and Parallel Programming Masterclass - Building Parallel Data Pipelines with RxJava2

This lecture provides a hands-on introduction to RX Java, focusing on building parallel data pipelines. It covers setting up RX Java in a Gradle project, creating and managing flowables, and using operators like map and filter for data transformations. The lecture also explains how to wrap data into flowables and implement lazy evaluation. Finally, it introduces parallel processing using the parallel operator and schedulers, demonstrating how to run operations in parallel and merge them back into a sequential flow.

How does the 'generate' method work in creating a Flowable?

Explain the concept of parallel processing in RX Java.

What is the purpose of the 'runOn' operator in RX Java?

Discuss the difference between sequential and parallel flows in RX Java.
