Missed Notification
A missed notification occurs when threadB tries to notify threadA, but threadA is not yet waiting for the notification. In a multithreaded environment like Java, you don’t have much control over which thread runs and for how long. This uncertainty can lead to a situation in which most of the time an application is run, threadA is waiting before threadB does the notification. But occasionally, threadB does the notification before threadA is waiting. This missed notification scenario can be quite dangerous.
Missed Notification指：线程B试图通知线程A，但线程A并没有在等待通知。这并不是不可能出现的。在多线程环境中，我们不能控制哪个线程执行，执行多长时间，这种不确定有可能导致在一个线程等待之前就先行通知，这是一种很危险的情况。如下程序会出现这种情况：

Early Notification
If a thread is notified while waiting, but the condition the thread is waiting for has not yet been met, the thread has received an early notification. An early notification can also occur if the condition is briefly met but quickly changes so it’s no longer met. This might sound strange, but early notification can happen due to subtle errors in the code (generally when an if is used instead of a while).
Early notification是指：当一个等待线程被通知的时候，它等待的条件不再满足，这时我们说，线程收到了一个early notification。Early notification在等待的条件瞬间满足然后立刻改变不再满足时，也会发生。通常在一个需要使用while的地方使用了if。
