Class 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.

    • Method Detail

      • getHardReferencesCount

        public int getHardReferencesCount()
        Returns the number of hard references kept in this cache
      • size

        public int size()
        Returns the number of entries in this map.
        Specified by:
        size in interface Map<K,​V>
        Overrides:

        containsKey in class AbstractMap<K,​V>
      • get

        public V get​(Object key)
        Returns the value to which this map maps the specified key. Returns null if the map contains no mapping for this key, or the value has been garbage collected.

        Parameters:
        key - key whose associated value is to be returned.
        Returns:
        the value to which this map maps the specified key, or null if none.
      • put

        public V put​(K key,
                     V value)

        Overrides:
        put in class AbstractMap<K,​V>
        Parameters:
        key - Key with which the specified value is to be associated.
        value - Value to be associated with the specified key. The value can't be null.
        Returns:
        Previous value associated with specified key, or null if there was no mapping for key.
      • putAll

        public void putAll​(Map<? extends K,​? extends V> map)
