Class ConcurrentHashMap

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Cloneable, java.util.Map, ConcurrentMap, SizedMap

    public class ConcurrentHashMap
    extends java.util.AbstractMap
    implements ConcurrentMap, SizedMap, java.lang.Cloneable, java.io.Serializable
    This class implements a HashMap which has limited synchronization. In particular mutators are generally synchronized while accessors are generally not. Additionally the Iterators returned by this class are not "fail-fast", but instead try to continue to iterate over the data structure after changes have been made. The synchronization semantics are built right in to the implementation rather than using a delegating wrapper like the other collection classes do because it wasn't clear to me that the how the two should be seperated or that it would be useful to do so. This can probably be a topic for further debate in the future. This class is based heavily on the HashMap class in the Java collections package.
