public class ConcurrentSkipListMap
extends AbstractMap
implements ConcurrentNavigableMap, java.lang.Cloneable, java.io.Serializable

A scalable concurrent ConcurrentNavigableMap implementation. The map is sorted according to the 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 are weakly consistent, returning elements reflecting the state of the map at some point at or since the creation of the iterator. They do not throw ConcurrentModificationException, and may proceed concurrently with other operations. 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. Additionally, the bulk operations putAll, equals, 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.

This class is a member of the Java Collections Framework.

Constructs a new map containing the same mappings as the given map, sorted according to the natural ordering of the keys.

Parameters:
m - the map whose mappings are to be placed in this map
Throws:

ConcurrentSkipListMap

public ConcurrentSkipListMap(java.util.SortedMap m)
Constructs a new map containing the same mappings and using the same ordering as the specified sorted map.

Parameters:
m - the sorted map whose mappings are to be placed in this map, and whose comparator is to be used to sort this map
Throws:
java.lang.NullPointerException - if the specified sorted map or any of its keys or values are null
Method Detail

clone

public java.lang.Object clone()
Returns a shallow copy of this ConcurrentSkipListMap instance. (The keys and values themselves are not cloned.)

Returns:
a shallow copy of this map

containsKey

public boolean containsKey(java.lang.Object key)
Returns true if this map contains a mapping for the specified key.

Specified by:
containsKey in interface java.util.Map
Parameters:
key - key whose presence in this map is to be tested
Returns:
true if this map contains a mapping for the specified key
Throws:
java.lang.ClassCastException - if the specified key cannot be compared with the keys currently in the map
java.lang.NullPointerException - if the specified key is null

get

public java.lang.Object get(java.lang.Object key)
Returns the value to which the specified key is mapped, or if this map contains no mapping for the key.

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

Specified by:
get in interface java.util.Map
Throws:
java.lang.ClassCastException - if the specified key cannot be compared with the keys currently in the map
java.lang.NullPointerException - if the specified key is null

put

public java.lang.Object put(java.lang.Object key,
                            java.lang.Object value)
Associates the specified value with the specified key in this map. If the map previously contained a mapping for the key, the old value is replaced.

Specified by:
put in interface java.util.Map
Parameters:
key - key with which the specified value is to be associated
value - value to be associated with the specified key
Returns:
the previous value associated with the specified key, or null if there was no mapping for the key
Throws:
java.lang.ClassCastException - if the specified key cannot be compared with the keys currently in the map
java.lang.NullPointerException - if the specified key or value is null

remove

public java.lang.Object remove(java.lang.Object key)
Removes the mapping for the specified key from this map if present.

Specified by:
remove in interface java.util.Map
Parameters:
key - key for which mapping should be removed
Returns:
the previous value associated with the specified key, or null if there was no mapping for the key
Throws:
java.lang.ClassCastException - if the specified key cannot be compared with the keys currently in the map
java.lang.NullPointerException - if the specified key is null

containsValue

public boolean containsValue(java.lang.Object value)
Returns true if this map maps one or more keys to the specified value. This operation requires time linear in the map size.

Specified by:
containsValue in interface java.util.Map
Parameters:
value - value whose presence in this map is to be tested
Returns:
true if a mapping to value exists; false otherwise
Throws:
java.lang.NullPointerException - if the specified value is null

size

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.

Specified by:
size in interface java.util.Map
Returns:
the number of elements in this map

isEmpty

public boolean isEmpty()
Returns true if this map contains no key-value mappings.

Specified by:
isEmpty in interface java.util.Map
Returns:
true if this map contains no key-value mappings

clear

public void clear()
Removes all of the mappings from this map.

Specified by:
clear in interface java.util.Map

keySet

public java.util.Set keySet()
Returns a NavigableSet view of the keys contained in this map. The set's iterator returns the keys in ascending 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 , , , , and operations. It does not support the or operations.

The view's is a "weakly consistent" iterator that will never throw ConcurrentModificationException, and guarantees to traverse elements as they existed upon construction of the iterator, and may (but is not guaranteed to) reflect any modifications subsequent to construction.

This method is equivalent to method .

a navigable set view of the keys in this map

values

public java.util.Collection 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 collection is backed by the map, so changes to the map are reflected in the collection, and vice-versa.

It does not support the add or addAll operations.

The view's iterator is a "weakly consistent" iterator that will never throw ConcurrentModificationException, and guarantees to traverse elements as they existed upon construction of the iterator, and may (but is not guaranteed to) reflect any modifications subsequent to construction.

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 iterator is a "weakly consistent" iterator that will never throw ConcurrentModificationException, and guarantees to traverse elements as they existed upon construction of the iterator, and may (but is not guaranteed to) reflect any modifications subsequent to construction.

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

descendingMap

public NavigableMap descendingMap()
Description copied from interface: ConcurrentNavigableMap

Returns:
a reverse order view of this map

public NavigableSet descendingKeySet()
Description copied from interface: ConcurrentNavigableMap
