So, to avoid starvation I am processing 1000 iterations of for loop(that of thread B) in one batch and giving sleep of 1ms, but still thread A is starving. If I increase the batch size used in for loop from 1k to 10k then starvation of thread A is little less whereas it should be more as Im increasing processing time of thread B. I tried various combinations of sleeps and batches, but I couldnt solve the starvation of thread A. Is the sleep right solution? I will be grateful if someone could answer on this.
