Can I have recursive function call inside parallel streams in java -

i have function model data. if parameter "entity" contains child, enclosed in child names. there 2 types of child type-a & type-b. each type function called recursively. recursive function call exits when child not have more child names.

public void modelmydata(entity entity) {      if (entity.getchildnames()[0] != null) {         arrays.stream(entity.getchildnames())                 .collect(collectors.tolist())                 .parallelstream()                 .foreach(childtype -> {                          entity.getchild(childtype).parallelstream()                                 .foreach(child -> {                                     modelmydata(child);                                      });                         ;                     });     }      system.out.println("insert " + entity.getchildattributevalue());  } 

the program works fine me. use of parallel stream said bad in java programming.

should use streams instead of parallel streams?

are doing long-running operations in streams? if yes, use parallelstream, if not, don't. have read article? refers thread pool exhaustion during long-running operations. case problem/program?

as aside, arrays.aslist(entity.getchildnames()).parallelstream()...., no need copy everything.
