java.lang.Object

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Map<K,V>

Direct Known Subclasses:

ReferenceCache

public class ReferenceMap<K,V>
extends Object
implements Map<K,V>, Serializable

Concurrent hash map that wraps keys and/or values in soft or weak references. Does not support null keys or values. Uses identity equality for weak and soft keys.

The concurrent semantics of ConcurrentHashMap combined with the fact that the garbage collector can asynchronously reclaim and clean up after keys and values at any time can lead to some racy semantics. For example, size() returns an upper bound on the size, i.e. the actual size may be smaller in cases where the key or value has been reclaimed but the map entry has not been cleaned up yet.

Another example: If get(Object) cannot find an existing entry for a key, it will try to create one. This operation is not atomic. One thread could put(Object, Object) a value between the time another thread running get() checks for an entry and decides to create one. In this case, the newly created value will replace the put value in the map. Also, two threads running get() concurrently can potentially create duplicate values for a given key.

In other words, this class is great for caching but not atomicity.

public int size()

Specified by:

size in interface Map<K,V>

isEmpty

public boolean isEmpty()

Specified by:

isEmpty in interface Map<K,V>

containsKey

public boolean containsKey(Object key)

Specified by:

clear

public void clear()

Specified by:

clear in interface Map<K,V>

keySet

public Set<K> keySet()

Returns an unmodifiable set view of the keys in this map. As this method creates a defensive copy, the performance is O(n).

Specified by:

keySet in interface Map<K,V>

values

public Collection<V> values()

Returns an unmodifiable set view of the values in this map. As this method creates a defensive copy, the performance is O(n).

Specified by:

values in interface Map<K,V>

putIfAbsent

public V putIfAbsent(K key,
                     V value)

Specified by:

putIfAbsent in interface Map<K,V>

remove

public boolean remove(Object key,
                      Object value)

Specified by:

remove in interface Map<K,V>

replace
