Class ConcurrentSkipListSet<E>

Contents
  • Type Parameters:
    E - the type of elements maintained by this set
    All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable, Cloneable, Iterable<E>, Collection<E>, NavigableSet<E>, Set<E>, SortedSet<E>

    public class ConcurrentSkipListSet<E>
extends AbstractSet<E>
implements NavigableSet<E>, Cloneable, Serializable
    A scalable concurrent NavigableSet implementation based on a ConcurrentSkipListMap. The elements of the set are kept sorted according to their natural ordering, or by a Comparator provided at set creation time, depending on which constructor is used.

    This implementation provides expected average log(n) time cost for the contains, add, and remove operations and their variants. Insertion, removal, and access operations safely execute concurrently by multiple threads. Iterators are weakly consistent, returning elements reflecting the state of the set at some point at or since the creation of the iterator. They do not throw ConcurrentModificationException, and may proceed concurrently with other operations. Ascending ordered views and their iterators are faster than descending ones.

    Beware that, unlike in most collections, the size method is not a constant-time operation. Because of the asynchronous nature of these sets, 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 addAll, removeAll, retainAll, containsAll, equals, and toArray are not guaranteed to be performed atomically. For example, an iterator operating concurrently with an addAll operation might view only some of the added elements.

    This class and its iterators implement all of the optional methods of the Set and Iterator interfaces. Like most other concurrent collection implementations, this class does not permit the use of null elements, because null arguments and return values cannot be reliably distinguished from the absence of elements.

    This class is a member of the Java Collections Framework.

    • Constructor Detail

      • ConcurrentSkipListSet

        public ConcurrentSkipListSet()
        Constructs a new, empty set that orders its elements according to their natural ordering.

      • ConcurrentSkipListSet

        public ConcurrentSkipListSet(Comparator<? super E> comparator)
        Constructs a new, empty set that orders its elements according to the specified comparator.
        Parameters:

        public ConcurrentSkipListSet(Collection<? extends E> c)
        Constructs a new set containing the elements in the specified collection, that orders its elements according to their natural ordering.
        Parameters:
        c - The elements that will comprise the new set
        Throws:
        ClassCastException - if the elements in c are not Comparable, or are not mutually comparable
        NullPointerException - if the specified collection or any of its elements are null

      • ConcurrentSkipListSet

        Parameters:

    • Method Detail

      • clone

        public ConcurrentSkipListSet<E> clone()
        Returns a shallow copy of this ConcurrentSkipListSet instance. (The elements themselves are not cloned.)
        Overrides:
        clone in class Object
        Returns:
        a shallow copy of this set
        See Also:
        Cloneable

      • size

        public int size()
        Returns the number of elements in this set. If this set 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 sets, 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.

        Specified by:
        size in interface Collection<E>

        Adds the specified element to this set if it is not already present. More formally, adds the specified element e to this set if the set contains no element e2 such that e.equals(e2). If this set already contains the element, the call leaves the set unchanged and returns false.

      • remove

        public boolean remove(Object o)
        Removes the specified element from this set if it is present. More formally, removes an element e such that o.equals(e), if this set contains such an element.

        Compares the specified object with this set for equality. Returns true if the specified object is also a set, the two sets have the same size, and every member of the specified set is contained in this set (or equivalently, every member of this set is contained in the specified set). This definition ensures that the equals method works properly across different implementations of the set interface.

        Specified by:
        headSet in interface SortedSet<E>
        Parameters:
        toElement - high endpoint (exclusive) of the returned set
        Returns:
        a view of the portion of this set whose elements are strictly less than toElement
        Throws:
        ClassCastException - if toElement is not compatible with this set's comparator (or, if the set has no comparator, if toElement does not implement Comparable). Implementations may, but are not required to, throw this exception if toElement cannot be compared to elements currently in the set.
        NullPointerException - if toElement is null
        IllegalArgumentException - if this set itself has a restricted range, and toElement lies outside the bounds of the range na

      • tailSet

        public NavigableSet<E> tailSet(E fromElement)
        Description copied from interface: NavigableSet
        Returns a view of the portion of this set whose elements are greater than or equal to fromElement. The returned set is backed by this set, so changes in the returned set are reflected in this set, and vice-versa. The returned set supports all optional set operations that this set supports.

        The returned set will throw an IllegalArgumentException on an attempt to insert an element outside its range.

        Equivalent to tailSet(fromElement, true).

        Specified by:
        tailSet in interface NavigableSet<E>
        Specified by:
        tailSet in interface SortedSet<E>
        Parameters:
        fromElement - low endpoint (inclusive) of the returned set
        Returns:
        a view of the portion of this set whose elements are greater than or equal to fromElement
        Throws:
        ClassCastException - if fromElement is not compatible with this set's comparator (or, if the set has no comparator, if fromElement does not implement Comparable). Implementations may, but are not required to, throw this exception if fromElement cannot be compared to elements currently in the set.
        NullPointerException - if fromElement is null
        IllegalArgumentException - if this set itself has a restricted range, and fromElement lies outside the bounds of the range

      • descendingSet

        public NavigableSet<E> descendingSet()
        Returns a reverse order view of the elements contained in this set. The descending set is backed by this set, so changes to the set are reflected in the descending set, and vice-versa.

        The returned set has an ordering equivalent to Collections.reverseOrder(comparator()). The expression s.descendingSet().descendingSet() returns a view of s essentially equivalent to s.

        Specified by:
        descendingSet in interface NavigableSet<E>
        Returns:
        a reverse order view of this set
