E - the type of elements maintained by this setpublic 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 and spliterators are weakly consistent.
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.
public ConcurrentSkipListSet()
Constructs a new, empty set that orders its elements according to their natural ordering.
public ConcurrentSkipListSet(Comparator<? super E> comparator)
Constructs a new, empty set that orders its elements according to the specified comparator.
comparator - the comparator that will be used to order this set. If null, the natural ordering of the elements will be used.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.
c - The elements that will comprise the new setClassCastException - if the elements in c are not Comparable, or are not mutually comparableNullPointerException - if the specified collection or any of its elements are nullpublic ConcurrentSkipListSet(SortedSet<E> s)
Constructs a new set containing the same elements and using the same ordering as the specified sorted set.
s - sorted set whose elements will comprise the new setNullPointerException - if the specified sorted set or any of its elements are nullpublic ConcurrentSkipListSet<E> clone()
Returns a shallow copy of this ConcurrentSkipListSet instance. (The elements themselves are not cloned.)
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.

Returns true if this set contains the specified element. More formally, returns true if and only if this set contains an element e such that o.equals(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.

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. Returns true if this set contained the element (or equivalently, if this set changed as a result of the call). (This set will not contain the element once the call returns.)

public boolean equals(Object o)
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.

public boolean removeAll(Collection<?> c)
Removes from this set all of its elements that are contained in the specified collection. If the specified collection is also a set, this operation effectively modifies this set so that its value is the asymmetric set difference of the two sets.

public Spliterator<E> spliterator()
Returns a Spliterator over the elements in this set.
The Spliterator reports Spliterator.CONCURRENT, Spliterator.NONNULL, Spliterator.DISTINCT, Spliterator.SORTED and Spliterator.ORDERED, with an encounter order that is ascending order. Overriding implementations should document the reporting of additional characteristic values.
The spliterator's comparator (see Spliterator.getComparator()) is null if the set's comparator (see comparator()) is null. Otherwise, the spliterator's comparator is the same as or imposes the same total ordering as the set's comparator.
