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
  • 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.

Exceptions thrown by the action are relayed to the caller.

Parameters
action The action to be performed for each entry

public V get (Object key)

Returns the value to which the specified key is mapped, or null if this map contains no mapping for the key.

More formally, if this map contains a mapping from a key k to a value v such that key compares equal to k according to the map's ordering, then this method returns v; otherwise it returns null. (There can be at most one such mapping.)

public NavigableSet<K> keySet ()

Returns a NavigableSet view of the keys contained in this map.

The set's iterator returns the keys in ascending 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 spliterator's comparator (see Spliterator.getComparator()) is null if the map's comparator (see comparator()) is null. Otherwise, the spliterator's comparator is the same as or imposes the same total ordering as the map's comparator.

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.

public int size ()

Returns the number of key-value mappings in this map. If this map contains more than Integer.MAX_VALUE elements, it returns Integer.MAX_VALUE.

Beware that, unlike in most collections, this method is NOT a constant-time operation. Because of the asynchronous nature of these maps, determining the current number of elements requires traversing them all to count them. Additionally, it is possible for the size to change during execution of this method, in which case the returned result will be inaccurate. Thus, this method is typically not very useful in concurrent applications.

Returns
  • the number of elements in this map

toInclusive true if the high endpoint is to be included in the returned view
Returns
  • a view of the portion of this map whose keys range from fromKey to toKey

public ConcurrentNavigableMap<K, V> tailMap (K fromKey, boolean inclusive)

Returns a view of the portion of this map whose keys are greater than (or equal to, if inclusive is true) fromKey. The returned map is backed by this map, so changes in the returned map are reflected in this map, and vice-versa. The returned map supports all optional map operations that this map supports.

The returned map will throw an IllegalArgumentException on an attempt to insert a key outside its range.

Parameters
fromKey low endpoint of the keys in the returned map
inclusive true if the low endpoint is to be included in the returned view
Returns
  • a view of the portion of this map whose keys are greater than (or equal to, if inclusive is true) fromKey

public ConcurrentNavigableMap<K, V> tailMap (K fromKey)

Returns a view of the portion of this map whose keys are greater than or equal to fromKey. The returned map is backed by this map, so changes in the returned map are reflected in this map, and vice-versa. The returned map supports all optional map operations that this map supports.

The returned map will throw an IllegalArgumentException on an attempt to insert a key outside its range.

Equivalent to tailMap(fromKey, true).

Parameters
fromKey low endpoint (inclusive) of the keys in the returned map
Returns
  • a view of the portion of this map whose keys are greater than or equal to fromKey

public Collection<V> values ()

Returns a Collection view of the values contained in this map.

The collection's iterator returns the values in ascending order of the corresponding keys. The collections's spliterator additionally reports Spliterator.CONCURRENT, Spliterator.NONNULL and Spliterator.ORDERED, with an encounter order that is ascending order of the corresponding keys.

The collection is backed by the map, so changes to the map are reflected in the collection, and vice-versa. The collection supports element removal, which removes the corresponding mapping from the map, via the Iterator.remove, Collection.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 collection view of the values contained in this map
