ConcurrentSkipListMap

public class ConcurrentSkipListMap extends AbstractMap<K, V>
implements ConcurrentNavigableMap<K, V> Cloneable Serializable

A scalable concurrent ConcurrentNavigableMap implementation. The map is sorted according to the {@linkplain Comparable natural ordering} of its keys, or by a Comparator provided at map creation time, depending on which constructor is used.

This class implements a concurrent variant of SkipLists providing expected average log(n) time cost for the containsKey, get, put and remove operations and their variants. Insertion, removal, update, and access operations safely execute concurrently by multiple threads.

Iterators and spliterators are weakly consistent.

Ascending key ordered views and their iterators are faster than descending ones.

All Map.Entry pairs returned by methods in this class and its views represent snapshots of mappings at the time they were produced. They do not support the Entry.setValue method. (Note however that it is possible to change mappings in the associated map using put, putIfAbsent, or replace, depending on exactly which effect you need.)

Beware that, unlike in most collections, the size method is not a constant-time operation. Because of the asynchronous nature of these maps, determining the current number of elements requires a traversal of the elements, and so may report inaccurate results if this collection is modified during traversal. Additionally, the bulk operations putAll, equals, toArray, containsValue, and clear are not guaranteed to be performed atomically. For example, an iterator operating concurrently with a putAll operation might view only some of the added elements.

This class and its views and iterators implement all of the optional methods of the Map and Iterator interfaces. Like most other concurrent collections, this class does not permit the use of null keys or values because some null return values cannot be reliably distinguished from the absence of elements.

Returns
  • true if a mapping to value exists; false otherwise
Throws
NullPointerException if the specified value is null

public NavigableSet<K> descendingKeySet ()

Returns a reverse order NavigableSet view of the keys contained in this map. The set's iterator returns the keys in descending order. The set is backed by the map, so changes to the map are reflected in the set, and vice-versa. The set supports element removal, which removes the corresponding mapping from the map, via the Iterator.remove, Set.remove, removeAll, retainAll, and clear operations. It does not support the add or addAll operations.

The view's iterators and spliterators are weakly consistent.

Returns
  • a reverse order navigable set view of the keys in this map

public ConcurrentNavigableMap<K, V> descendingMap ()

Returns a reverse order view of the mappings contained in this map. The descending map is backed by this map, so changes to the map are reflected in the descending map, and vice-versa.

The returned map has an ordering equivalent to Collections.reverseOrder(comparator()). The expression m.descendingMap().descendingMap() returns a view of m essentially equivalent to m.

Returns
  • a reverse order view of this map

public Set<Entry<K, V>> entrySet ()

Returns a Set view of the mappings contained in this map.

The set's iterator returns the entries in ascending key order. The set's spliterator additionally reports Spliterator.CONCURRENT, Spliterator.NONNULL, Spliterator.SORTED and Spliterator.ORDERED, with an encounter order that is ascending key order.

The set is backed by the map, so changes to the map are reflected in the set, and vice-versa. The set supports element removal, which removes the corresponding mapping from the map, via the Iterator.remove, Set.remove, removeAll, retainAll and clear operations. It does not support the add or addAll operations.

The view's iterators and spliterators are weakly consistent.

The Map.Entry elements traversed by the iterator or spliterator do not support the setValue operation.

Returns
  • a set view of the mappings contained in this map, sorted in ascending key order
