Disruptor Pattern

• LMAX Disruptor

High Performance Inter-Thread Messaging Library
The Disruptor is a general-purpose mechanism for solving a difficult problem in concurrent programming.
It works in a different way to more conventional approaches, so you use it a little differently than you might be used to.
For example, applying the pattern to your system is not as simple as replacing all your queues with the magic ring buffer.
