How do you handle exceptions in parallel processing?

Senior Java
Quick Answer In parallel streams, exceptions in one thread are wrapped in a RuntimeException and rethrown in the calling thread. Use a try-catch around the terminal operation. In CompletableFuture, use exceptionally(fn) to handle exceptions per step, or handle(fn) which gets both result and exception. In ExecutorService, exceptions from Callable are wrapped in ExecutionException from Future.get().

Answer

Handle exceptions inside threads individually.
Use CompletableFuture.exceptionally() or handle().
Avoid uncaught exceptions that silently terminate threads.
