ConcurrentSkipListMap

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

java.lang.Object
   ↳ java.util.AbstractMap<K, V>
     ↳ java.util.concurrent.ConcurrentSkipListMap<K, V>


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 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.

It does not support the add or addAll operations.

The view's iterators and spliterators are weakly consistent.

except that the action is performed atomically.

Parameters
key K: key with which the specified value is associated
oldValue V: value expected to be associated with the specified key
newValue V: value to be associated with the specified key
Returns
boolean true if the value was replaced
Throws
ClassCastException if the specified key cannot be compared with the keys currently in the map
NullPointerException if any of the arguments are null

replace

Added in API level 9
V replace (K key, 
                V value)

Replaces the entry for a key only if currently mapped to some value. This is equivalent to, for this map:

 if (map.containsKey(key))
   return map.put(key, value);
 else
   return null;
except that the action is performed atomically.

Parameters
key K: key with which the specified value is associated
value V: value to be associated with the specified key
Returns
V the previous value associated with the specified key, or null if there was no mapping for the key
Throws
ClassCastException if the specified key cannot be compared with the keys currently in the map
NullPointerException if the specified key or value is null

replaceAll

Added in API level 24
void replaceAll (BiFunction<? super K, ? super V, ? extends V> function)

Replaces each entry's value with the result of invoking the given function on that entry until all entries have been processed or the function throws an exception. Exceptions thrown by the function are relayed to the caller.

Parameters
function BiFunction: the function to apply to each entry

size

Added in API level 9
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
int the number of elements in this map

subMap

Added in API level 9
ConcurrentNavigableMap<K, V> subMap (K fromKey, 
                K toKey)

Returns a view of the portion of this map whose keys range from fromKey, inclusive, to toKey, exclusive. (If fromKey and toKey are equal, the returned map is empty.) 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 subMap(fromKey, true, toKey, false).

Parameters
fromKey K: low endpoint (inclusive) of the keys in the returned map
toKey K: high endpoint (exclusive) of the keys in the returned map
Returns
ConcurrentNavigableMap<K, V> a view of the portion of this map whose keys range from fromKey, inclusive, to toKey, exclusive
Throws
ClassCastException
NullPointerException if fromKey or toKey is null
IllegalArgumentException

subMap

Added in API level 9
ConcurrentNavigableMap<K, V> subMap (K fromKey, 
                boolean fromInclusive, 
                K toKey, 
                boolean toInclusive)

Returns a view of the portion of this map whose keys range from fromKey to toKey. If fromKey and toKey are equal, the returned map is empty unless fromInclusive and toInclusive are both true. 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 of its range, or to construct a submap either of whose endpoints lie outside its range.

Parameters
fromKey K: low endpoint of the keys in the returned map
fromInclusive boolean: true if the low endpoint is to be included in the returned view
toKey K: high endpoint of the keys in the returned map
toInclusive boolean: true if the high endpoint is to be included in the returned view
Returns
ConcurrentNavigableMap<K, V> a view of the portion of this map whose keys range from fromKey to toKey
Throws
ClassCastException
NullPointerException if fromKey or toKey is null
IllegalArgumentException

tailMap

Added in API level 9
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 K: low endpoint of the keys in the returned map
inclusive boolean: true if the low endpoint is to be included in the returned view
Returns
ConcurrentNavigableMap<K, V> a view of the portion of this map whose keys are greater than (or equal to, if inclusive is true) fromKey
Throws
ClassCastException
NullPointerException if fromKey is null
IllegalArgumentException

tailMap

Added in API level 9
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 K: low endpoint (inclusive) of the keys in the returned map
Returns
ConcurrentNavigableMap<K, V> a view of the portion of this map whose keys are greater than or equal to fromKey
Throws
ClassCastException
NullPointerException if fromKey is null
IllegalArgumentException

values

Added in API level 9
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 CONCURRENT, NONNULL and 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
Collection<V> a collection view of the values contained in this map

Hooray!
