public class ConcurrentHashMap<K,V> extends AbstractMap<K,V> implements ConcurrentMap<K,V>, Serializable
A hash table supporting full concurrency of retrievals and high expected concurrency for updates. This class obeys the same functional specification as `Hashtable`, and includes versions of methods corresponding to each method of `Hashtable`. However, even though all operations are thread-safe, retrieval operations do not entail locking, and there is not any support for locking the entire table in a way that prevents all access. This class is fully interoperable with `Hashtable` in programs that rely on its thread safety but not on its synchronization details.

Retrieval operations (including `get`) generally do not block, so may overlap with update operations (including `put` and `remove`). Retrievals reflect the results of the most recently completed update operations holding upon their onset. (More formally, an update operation for a given key bears a happens-before relation with any (non-null) retrieval for that key reporting the updated value.) For aggregate operations such as `putAll` and `clear`, concurrent retrievals may reflect insertion or removal of only some entries. Similarly, Iterators, Spliterators and Enumerations return elements reflecting the state of the hash table at some point at or since the creation of the iterator/enumeration. They do not throw `ConcurrentModificationException`. However, iterators are designed to be used by only one thread at a time. Bear in mind that the results of aggregate status methods including `size`, `isEmpty`, and `containsValue` are typically useful only when a map is not undergoing concurrent updates in other threads. Otherwise the results of these methods reflect transient states that may be adequate for monitoring or estimation purposes, but not for program control.

The table is dynamically expanded when there are too many collisions (i.e., keys that have distinct hash codes but fall into the same slot modulo the table size), with the expected average effect of maintaining roughly two bins per mapping (corresponding to a 0.75 load factor threshold for resizing). There may be much variance around this average as mappings are added and removed, but overall, this maintains a commonly accepted time/space tradeoff for hash tables. However, resizing this or any other kind of hash table may be a relatively slow operation. When possible, it is a good idea to provide a size estimate as an optional `initialCapacity` constructor argument. An additional optional `loadFactor` constructor argument provides a further means of customizing initial table capacity by specifying the table density to be used in calculating the amount of space to allocate for the given number of elements. Also, for compatibility with previous versions of this class, constructors may optionally specify an expected `concurrencyLevel` as an additional hint for internal sizing. Note that using many keys with exactly the same `hashCode()` is a sure way to slow down performance of any hash table. To ameliorate impact, when keys are `Comparable`, this class may use comparison order among keys to help break ties.

A `Set` projection of a ConcurrentHashMap may be created (using `newKeySet()` or `newKeySet(int)`), or viewed (using `keySet(Object)` when only keys are of interest, and the mapped values are (perhaps transiently) not used or all take the same mapping value.

A ConcurrentHashMap can be used as a scalable frequency map (a form of histogram or multiset) by using `LongAdder` values and initializing via `computeIfAbsent`. For example, to add a count to a `ConcurrentHashMap<String,LongAdder> freqs`, you can use `freqs.computeIfAbsent(key, k -> new LongAdder()).increment();`

This class and its views and iterators implement all of the optional methods of the `Map` and `Iterator` interfaces.

Like `Hashtable` but unlike `HashMap`, this class does not allow `null` to be used as a key or value.

ConcurrentHashMaps support a set of sequential and parallel bulk operations that, unlike most `Stream` methods, are designed to be safely, and often sensibly, applied even with maps that are being concurrently updated by other threads; for example, when computing a snapshot summary of the values in a shared registry. There are three kinds of operation, each with four forms, accepting functions with keys, values, entries, and (key, value) pairs as arguments and/or return values. Because the elements of a ConcurrentHashMap are not ordered in any particular way, and may be processed in different orders in different parallel executions, the correctness of supplied functions should not depend on any ordering, or on any other objects or values that may transiently change while computation is in progress; and except for forEach actions, should ideally be side-effect-free. Bulk operations on `Map.Entry` objects do not support method `setValue`.

- forEach: Performs a given action on each element. A variant form applies a given transformation on each element before performing the action.
- search: Returns the first available non-null result of applying a given function on each element; skipping further search when a result is found.
- reduce: Accumulates each element. The supplied reduction function cannot rely on ordering (more formally, it should be both associative and commutative). There are five variants:
  - Plain reductions. (There is not a form of this method for (key, value) function arguments since there is no corresponding return type.)
  - Mapped reductions that accumulate the results of a given function applied to each element.
  - Reductions to scalar doubles, longs, and ints, using a given basis value.

These bulk operations accept a `parallelismThreshold` argument. Methods proceed sequentially if the current map size is estimated to be less than the given threshold. Using a value of `Long.MAX_VALUE` suppresses all parallelism. Using a value of `1` results in maximal parallelism by partitioning into enough subtasks to fully utilize the `ForkJoinPool.commonPool()` that is used for all parallel computations. Normally, you would initially choose one of these extreme values, and then measure performance of using in-between values that trade off overhead versus throughput.

The concurrency properties of bulk operations follow from those of ConcurrentHashMap: Any non-null result returned from `get(key)` and related access methods bears a happens-before relation with the associated insertion or update. The result of any bulk operation reflects the composition of these per-element relations (but is not necessarily atomic with respect to the map as a whole unless it is somehow known to be quiescent). Conversely, because keys and values in the map are never null, null serves as a reliable atomic indicator of the current lack of any result. To maintain this property, null serves as an implicit basis for all non-scalar reduction operations. For the double, long, and int versions, the basis should be one that, when combined with any other value, returns that other value (more formally, it should be the identity element for the reduction). Most common reductions have these properties; for example, computing a sum with basis 0 or a minimum with basis MAX_VALUE.

Search and transformation functions provided as arguments should similarly return null to indicate the lack of any result (in which case it is not used). In the case of mapped reductions, this also enables transformations to serve as filters, returning null (or, in the case of primitive specializations, the identity basis) if the element should not be combined. You can create compound transformations and filterings by composing them yourself under this "null means there is nothing there now" rule before using them in search or reduce operations.

Methods accepting and/or returning Entry arguments maintain key-value associations. They may be useful for example when finding the key for the greatest value. Note that "plain" Entry arguments can be supplied using `new AbstractMap.SimpleEntry(k,v)`.

Bulk operations may complete abruptly, throwing an exception encountered in the application of a supplied function. Bear in mind when handling such exceptions that other concurrently executing functions could also have thrown exceptions, or would have done so if the first exception had not occurred.

Speedups for parallel compared to sequential forms are common but not guaranteed. Parallel operations involving brief functions on small maps may execute more slowly than sequential forms if the underlying work to parallelize the computation is more expensive than the computation itself. Similarly, parallelization may not lead to much actual parallelism if all processors are busy performing unrelated tasks.

All arguments to all task methods must be non-null.

  - ### entrySet

    public Set<Map.Entry<K,V>> entrySet()
    Returns a `Set` view of the mappings contained in this map. The set is backed by the map, so changes to the map are reflected in the set, and vice-versa. The set supports element removal, which removes the corresponding mapping from the map, via the `Iterator.remove`, `Set.remove`, `removeAll`, `retainAll`, and `clear` operations.

    The view's iterators and spliterators are weakly consistent.

    The view's `spliterator` reports `Spliterator.CONCURRENT`, `Spliterator.DISTINCT`, and `Spliterator.NONNULL`.

The entire method invocation is performed atomically. The supplied function is invoked exactly once per invocation of this method if the key is absent, else not at all. Some attempted update operations on this map by other threads may be blocked while computation is in progress, so the computation should be short and simple.

    The mapping function must not modify this map during computation.

    Specified by:
      `computeIfAbsent` in interface `ConcurrentMap<K,V>`
    Specified by:

The supplied function is invoked exactly once per invocation of this method if the key is present, else not at all. Some attempted update operations on this map by other threads may be blocked while computation is in progress, so the computation should be short and simple.
