MutableScatterMap

MutableScatterMap is a container with a Map-like interface based on a flat hash table implementation (the key/value mappings are not stored by nodes but directly into arrays).

ScatterMap is a container with a Map-like interface based on a flat hash table implementation (the key/value mappings are not stored by nodes but directly into arrays). The underlying implementation is designed to avoid all allocations on insertion, removal, retrieval, and iteration. Allocations may still happen on insertion when the underlying storage needs to grow to accommodate newly added entries to the table. In addition, this implementation minimizes memory usage by avoiding the use of separate objects to hold key/value pairs.

This implementation makes no guarantee as to the order of the keys and values stored, nor does it make guarantees that the order remains constant over time.

This implementation is not thread-safe: if multiple threads access this container concurrently, and one or more threads modify the structure of the map (insertion or removal for instance), the calling code must provide the appropriate synchronization. Multiple threads are safe to read from this map concurrently if no write is happening.

This implementation is read-only and only allows data to be queried. A mutable implementation is provided by MutableScatterMap.

Note: when a Map is absolutely necessary, you can use the method asMap to create a thin wrapper around a ScatterMap. Please refer to asMap for more details and caveats.

ScatterMap and SimpleArrayMap: like SimpleArrayMap, ScatterMap/MutableScatterMap is designed to avoid the allocation of extra objects when inserting new entries in the map. However, the implementation of ScatterMap/MutableScatterMap offers better performance characteristics compared to SimpleArrayMap and is thus generally preferable. If memory usage is a concern, SimpleArrayMap automatically shrinks its storage to avoid using more memory than necessary. You can also control memory usage with MutableScatterMap by manually calling MutableScatterMap.trim.

Public functions

all

Cmn
Added in 1.4.0
inline fun all(predicate: (K, V) -> Boolean): Boolean

Returns true if all entries match the given predicate.

any

Cmn
Added in 1.4.0
fun any(): Boolean

Returns true if this map has at least one entry.

any

Cmn
Added in 1.4.0
inline fun any(predicate: (K, V) -> Boolean): Boolean

Returns true if at least one entry matches the given predicate.

asMap

Cmn
Added in 1.4.0
fun asMap(): Map<K, V>

Wraps this ScatterMap with a Map interface. The Map is backed by the ScatterMap, so changes to the ScatterMap are reflected in the Map. If the ScatterMap is modified while an iteration over the Map is in progress, the results of the iteration are undefined.

Note: while this method is useful to use this ScatterMap with APIs accepting Map interfaces, it is less efficient to do so than to use ScatterMap's APIs directly. While the Map implementation returned by this method tries to be as efficient as possible, the semantics of Map may require the allocation of temporary objects for access and iteration.

contains

Cmn
Added in 1.4.0
operator fun contains(key: K): Boolean

Returns true if the specified key is present in this hash map, false otherwise.

containsKey

Creates a String from the elements separated by separator and using prefix before and postfix after, if supplied.
