LinkedBlockingQueue

This is an implementation of the BlockingQueue interface, which is backed up by a linked list. The size of the queue is not limited by default (to be precise, it is Integer.MAX_VALUE), but it can optionally be limited in a constructor argument. The reason to limit the size in this implementation is to aid the use when the parallel algorithm performs better with a limited size queue. The implementation itself does not have any restriction on the size other than Integer.MAX_VALUE, which is fairly big.
