From each connector create only one stream. 2 Use a single thread for a stream. In this case, the connector in each thread can commit freely without any dependence on the other threads. Is this the right way to go? Will it introduce any dead lock when multiple connectors commit at the same time? This is a better approach as there is no complex locking involved.
