Description

It should cover when you'd use and how to use:

  • parEvalMap/Unordered
  • parJoin
  • concurrently
  • merge*

There's the page on Queue/Topic/etc but there's not a great single page on the operations directly on Stream. The Guide section on concurrency is very short and doesn't cover some of the most common operations (parEvalMap especially)

Research direction

Start by locating the existing Guide section on concurrency and the Queue/Topic documentation, then review how Stream operations are documented elsewhere. Add a single reference or cookbook page covering when and how to use parEvalMap/Unordered, parJoin, concurrently, and merge*. Done means the common Stream concurrency operations are explained with practical usage guidance.
