A customized implementation of java.util.TreeMap designed to operate in a multithreaded environment where the large majority of method calls are read-only, instead of structural changes. When operating in "fast" mode, read calls are non-synchronized and write calls perform the following steps:

  • Clone the existing collection
  • Perform the modification on the clone
  • Replace the existing collection with the (modified) clone

When first created, objects of this class default to "slow" mode, where all accesses of any type are synchronized but no cloning takes place. This is appropriate for initially populating the collection, followed by a switch to "fast" mode (by calling setFast(true)) after initialization is complete.

NOTE: If you are creating and accessing a TreeMap only within a single thread, you should use java.util.TreeMap directly (with no synchronization), for maximum performance.

NOTE: This class is not cross-platform. Using it may cause unexpected failures on some architectures. It suffers from the same problems as the double-checked locking idiom. In particular, the instruction that clones the internal collection and the instruction that sets the internal reference to the clone can be executed or perceived out-of-order. This means that any read operation might fail unexpectedly, as it may be reading the state of the internal collection before the internal collection is fully formed. For more information on the double-checked locking idiom, see the Double-Checked Locking Idiom Is Broken Declaration.
