FastMap (Apache Maven 4.0.0-alpha-2 API)

java.lang.Object
- org.codehaus.plexus.util.FastMap<K,V>

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Cloneable, Map<K,V>
```
public class FastMap<K,V>
extends Object
implements Map<K,V>, Cloneable, Serializable
```
This class represents a Map collection with real-time behavior. Unless the map's size exceeds its current capacity, no dynamic memory allocation is ever performed and response time is extremely fast and consistent.

Our benchmark indicates that FastMap.put(key, value) is up to 5x faster than java.util.HashMap.put(key, value). This difference is mostly due to the cost of the Map.Entry allocations that FastMap avoids by recycling its entries (see note below).

FastMap has a predictable iteration order, which is the order in which keys were inserted into the map (similar to java.util.LinkedHashMap collection class).

Applications may change the resizing policy of FastMap by overriding the sizeChanged() method. For example, to improve predictability, automatic resizing can be disabled.

This implementation is not synchronized. Multiple threads accessing or modifying the collection must be synchronized externally.

Note: To avoid dynamic memory allocations, FastMap maintains an internal pool of Map.Entry objects. The size of the pool is determined by the map's capacity. When an entry is removed from the map, it is automatically restored to the pool.

This class is public domain (not copyrighted).

- Constructor Detail
  - FastMap
```
public FastMap()
```
    Creates a FastMap with a capacity of 256 entries.
  - FastMap
```
public FastMap(Map map)
```
    Creates a FastMap, copy of the specified Map. If the specified map is not an instance of FastMap, the newly created map has a capacity set to the specified map's size. The copy has the same order as the original, regardless of the original map's implementation:
```
     TreeMap dictionary = ...;
     FastMap dictionaryLookup = new FastMap(dictionary);
 
```
    Parameters:
    
    map - the map whose mappings are to be placed in this map.
  - FastMap
```
public FastMap(int capacity)
```
    Creates a FastMap with the specified capacity. Unless the capacity is exceeded, operations on this map do not allocate entries. For optimum performance, the capacity should be of the same order of magnitude or larger than the expected map's size.
    
    Parameters:
    
    capacity - the number of buckets in the hash table; it also defines the number of pre-allocated entries.

    Returns:
    
    this map's size.
  - capacity
```
public int capacity()
```
    Returns the capacity of this FastMap. The capacity defines the number of buckets in the hash table, as well as the maximum number of entries the map may contain without allocating memory.
    
    Returns:
    
    this map's capacity.
  - isEmpty
```
public boolean isEmpty()

If the capacity is decreased, entries from the pool are deallocated (and are eventually garbage collected). The capacity also determined the number of buckets for the hash table.
    
    Parameters:
    
    newCapacity - the new capacity of this map.

public Object clone()
```
    Returns a shallow copy of this FastMap. The keys and the values themselves are not cloned.

    clone in class Object
    
    Returns:
    
    a shallow copy of this map.
  - equals
```
public boolean equals(Object obj)
```
    Compares the specified object with this FastMap for equality. Returns true if the given object is also a map and the two maps represent the same mappings (regardless of collection iteration order).
    
    Specified by:
    
    equals in interface Map<K,V>
    
    Overrides:
    
    equals in class Object
    
    Parameters:
    
    obj - the object to be compared for equality with this map.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the specified object is equal to this map; false otherwise.
  - hashCode
```
public int hashCode()
```
    Returns the hash code value for this FastMap.

    the hash code value for this map.
  - toString
```
public String toString()
```
    Returns a String representation of this FastMap.
    
    Overrides:
    
    toString in class Object
    
    Returns:
    
    this.entrySet().toString();
  - values
```
public Collection values()
```
    Returns a collection view of the values contained in this FastMap. The collection is backed by the map, so changes to the map are reflected in the collection, and vice-versa. The collection supports element removal, which removes the corresponding mapping from this map, via the Iterator.remove, Collection.remove, removeAll, retainAll, and clear operations. It does not support the add or addAll operations.
    
    Specified by:
    
    values in interface Map<K,V>
    
    Returns:
    
    a collection view of the values contained in this map.
  - entrySet
```
public Set entrySet()
```
    Returns a collection view of the mappings contained in this FastMap. Each element in the returned collection is a Map.Entry. The collection is backed by the map, so changes to the map are reflected in the collection, and vice-versa. The collection supports element removal, which removes the corresponding mapping from this map, via the Iterator.remove, Collection.remove, removeAll, retainAll, and clear operations. It does not support the add or addAll operations.
    
    Specified by:
    
    entrySet in interface Map<K,V>
    
    Returns:
    
    a collection view of the mappings contained in this map.
  - keySet
```
public Set keySet()
```
    Returns a set view of the keys contained in this FastMap. The set is backed by the map, so changes to the map are reflected in the set, and vice-versa. The set supports element removal, which removes the corresponding mapping from this map, via the Iterator.remove, Collection.remove, removeAll, retainAll, and clear operations. It does not support the add or addAll operations.
    
    Specified by:
    
    keySet in interface Map<K,V>
    
    Returns:
    
    a set view of the keys contained in this map.
  - sizeChanged
```
protected void sizeChanged()
```
    This methods is being called when the size of this FastMap has changed. The default behavior is to double the map's capacity when the map's size reaches the current map's capacity. Sub-class may override this method to implement custom resizing policies or to disable automatic resizing. For example:
```
 Map fixedCapacityMap = new FastMap( 256 )
 {
     protected sizeChanged()
     {
         // Do nothing, automatic resizing disabled.
     }
 };
 
```
