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.

Bulk operations that add, remove, or examine multiple elements, such as AbstractCollection.addAll, Collection.removeIf or Iterable.forEach, are not guaranteed to be performed atomically. For example, a forEach traversal concurrent with an addAll operation might observe 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.

Constructs a new, empty set that orders its elements according to the specified comparator.
Params:

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.

Compares the specified object with this set for equality.

Returns a reverse order view of the elements contained in this set. The descending set is backed by this set, so changes to the set are reflected in the descending set, and vice-versa.

The returned set has an ordering equivalent to Collections.reverseOrder(comparator()). The expression s.descendingSet().descendingSet() returns a view of s essentially equivalent to s.

public NavigableSet<E> descendingSet() { return new ConcurrentSkipListSet<E>(m.descendingMap()); }
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 is null if the set's comparator is null. Otherwise, the spliterator's comparator is the same as or imposes the same total ordering as the set's comparator.
