Class CopyOnWriteMap<K,V>

java.lang.Object
  com.atlassian.util.concurrent.CopyOnWriteMap<K,V>

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, java.util.Map<K,V>

@ThreadSafe
public class CopyOnWriteMap<K,V>
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.util.Map<K,V>, java.io.Serializable

A thread-safe variant of Map in which all mutative operations (the "destructive" operations described by Map put, remove and so on) are implemented by making a fresh copy of the underlying map.

This is ordinarily too costly, but may be more efficient than alternatives when traversal operations vastly out-number mutations, and is useful when you cannot or don't want to synchronize traversals, yet need to preclude interference among concurrent threads. The "snapshot" style iterators on the collections returned by entrySet(), keySet() and values() use a reference to the internal map at the point that the iterator was created. This map never changes during the lifetime of the iterator, so interference is impossible and the iterator is guaranteed not to throw ConcurrentModificationException. The iterators will not reflect additions, removals, or changes to the list since the iterator was created. Removing elements via these iterators is not supported. The mutable operations on these collections (remove, retain etc.) are supported but as with the Map interface, add and addAll are not and throw UnsupportedOperationException.

The actual copy is performed by a supplied CopyOnWriteMap.CopyFunction object. The Factory is responsible for the underlying Map implementation (for instance a HashMap, TreeMap, ListOrderedMap etc.) and therefore the semantics of what this map will cope with as far as null keys and values, iteration ordering etc.

There are supplied CopyOnWriteMap.Functions for the common Collections Map implementations.

Views of the keys, values and entries are modifiable and will cause a copy.

Please note that the thread-safety guarantees are limited to the thread-safety of the non-mutative (non-destructive) operations of the underlying map implementation. For instance some implementations such as WeakHashMap and LinkedHashMap with access ordering are actually structurally modified by the get(Object) method and are therefore not suitable candidates as delegates for this class.
