Description: The operation queue is a fundamental data structure in programming and system design that allows for the storage and management of a set of operations to be executed in a specific order. This structure is based on the FIFO (First In, First Out) principle, meaning that the first operation added to the queue will be the first to be processed. Operation queues are particularly useful in environments where efficient task management is required, such as in data processing systems, concurrent programming, and distributed architectures. By using an operation queue, developers can decouple task generation from execution, allowing for greater flexibility and scalability in applications. Additionally, operation queues can help manage workload, ensuring that operations are processed in the correct order and preventing resource overload. In the context of in-memory databases, operation queues are implemented efficiently, allowing developers to leverage their speed and responsiveness to handle large volumes of operations effectively.
