public class FastHashMap

extends java.util.HashMap

A customized implementation of java.util.HashMap designed to operate in a multithreaded environment where the large majority of method calls are read-only, instead of structural changes. When operating in "fast" mode, read calls are non-synchronized and write calls perform the following steps:

• Clone the existing collection
• Perform the modification on the clone
• Replace the existing collection with the (modified) clone

When first created, objects of this class default to "slow" mode, where all accesses of any type are synchronized but no cloning takes place. This is appropriate for initially populating the collection, followed by a switch to "fast" mode (by calling setFast(true)) after initialization is complete.

NOTE: If you are creating and accessing a HashMap only within a single thread, you should use java.util.HashMap directly (with no synchronization), for maximum performance.

Field Detail

map

protected java.util.HashMap map

Deprecated.

The underlying map we are managing.

protected boolean fast

Deprecated.

Are we operating in "fast" mode?

Constructor Detail

FastHashMap

public FastHashMap()

Deprecated.

Construct a an empty map.

FastHashMap

public FastHashMap(int capacity)

Deprecated.

Construct an empty map with the specified capacity.

Parameters:

capacity - The initial capacity of the empty map

FastHashMap

public FastHashMap(int capacity,
                   float factor)

Deprecated.

Construct an empty map with the specified capacity and load factor.

Parameters:

capacity - The initial capacity of the empty map

factor - The load factor of the new map

FastHashMap

public FastHashMap(java.util.Map map)

Deprecated.

Construct a new map with the same mappings as the specified map.

Parameters:

map - The map whose mappings are to be copied

Method Detail

getFast

public boolean getFast()

Deprecated.

setFast

public void setFast(boolean fast)

Deprecated.

clear

public void clear()

Deprecated.

Remove all mappings from this map.

Overrides:

clear in class java.util.HashMap

clone

public java.lang.Object clone()

Deprecated.

Return a shallow copy of this FastHashMap instance. The keys and values themselves are not copied.

Overrides:

clone in class java.util.HashMap

containsKey

public boolean containsKey(java.lang.Object key)

Deprecated.

Return true if this map contains a mapping for the specified key.

Overrides:

containsKey in class java.util.HashMap

Parameters:

key - Key to be searched for

containsValue

public boolean containsValue(java.lang.Object value)

Deprecated.

Return true if this map contains one or more keys mapping to the specified value.

Overrides:

containsValue in class java.util.HashMap

Parameters:

value - Value to be searched for

entrySet

public java.util.Set entrySet()

Deprecated.

Return a collection view of the mappings contained in this map. Each element in the returned collection is a Map.Entry.

Overrides:

entrySet in class java.util.HashMap

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object o)

Deprecated.

Compare the specified object with this list for equality. This implementation uses exactly the code that is used to define the list equals function in the documentation for the Map.equals method.

Overrides:

equals in class java.util.AbstractMap

Parameters:

o - Object to be compared to this list

get

public java.lang.Object get(java.lang.Object key)

Deprecated.

Return the value to which this map maps the specified key. Returns null if the map contains no mapping for this key, or if there is a mapping with a value of null. Use the containsKey() method to disambiguate these cases.

Overrides:

get in class java.util.HashMap

Parameters:

key - Key whose value is to be returned

hashCode
