Class SoftValueHashMap<K,V>

Object
AbstractMap<K,V>
SoftValueHashMap<K,V>
Type Parameters:
K - The type of keys in the map.
V - The type of values in the map.
All Implemented Interfaces:
Map<K,V>

public class SoftValueHashMap<K,V> extends AbstractMap<K,V>
A hash map implementation that uses soft references, leaving memory when an entry is not used anymore and memory is low.

This map implementation actually maintains some of the first entries as hard references. Only oldest entries are retained by soft references, in order to avoid too aggressive garbage collection. The amount of entries to retain by hard reference is specified at construction time.

This map is thread-safe. It accepts the null key; it does not accept the null value. Usage of value, key or entry collections are supported. The iterator on the ConcurrentHashMap is weakly consistent.
