@GwtCompatible(serializable=true, emulated=true) public class TreeMultimap<K,V> extends Object
Multimap whose keys and values are ordered by
 their natural ordering or by supplied comparators. In all cases, this
 implementation uses Comparable.compareTo(T) or Comparator.compare(T, T) instead of Object.equals(java.lang.Object) to determine
 equivalence of instances.
 Warning: The comparators or comparables used must be consistent
 with equals as explained by the Comparable class specification.
 Otherwise, the resulting multiset will violate the general contract of SetMultimap, which it is specified in terms of Object.equals(java.lang.Object).
 
The collections returned by keySet and asMap iterate
 through the keys according to the key comparator ordering or the natural
 ordering of the keys. Similarly, get, removeAll, and replaceValues return collections that iterate through the values according
 to the value comparator ordering or the natural ordering of the values. The
 collections generated by entries, keys, and values
 iterate across the keys according to the above key ordering, and for each
 key they iterate across the values according to the value ordering.
 
The multimap does not store duplicate key-value pairs. Adding a new key-value pair equal to an existing key-value pair has no effect.
Null keys and values are permitted (provided, of course, that the respective comparators support them). All optional multimap methods are supported, and all returned views are modifiable.
This class is not threadsafe when any concurrent operations update the
 multimap. Concurrent read operations will work correctly. To allow concurrent
 update operations, wrap your multimap with a call to Multimaps.synchronizedSortedSetMultimap(com.google.common.collect.SortedSetMultimap<K, V>).

Changes to the returned collection will update the underlying multimap, and vice versa.
Because a SortedSetMultimap has unique sorted values for a given
 key, this method returns a SortedSet, instead of the
 Collection specified in the Multimap interface.
public NavigableSet<K> keySet()
Changes to the returned set will update the underlying multimap, and vice versa. However, adding to the returned set is not possible.
Because a TreeMultimap has unique sorted keys, this method
 returns a NavigableSet, instead of the Set specified
 in the Multimap interface.
public NavigableMap<K,Collection<V>> asMap()
setValue
 on its entries, put, or putAll.
 When passed a key that is present in the map, asMap().get(Object) has the same behavior as get(K), returning a
 live collection. When passed a key that is not present, however, asMap().get(Object) returns null instead of an empty collection.
 
Though the method signature doesn't say so explicitly, the returned map
 has SortedSet values.

 returns a NavigableMap, instead of the Map specified
 in the Multimap interface.
public SortedSet<V> removeAll(@Nullable Object key)
Because a SortedSetMultimap has unique sorted values for a given
 key, this method returns a SortedSet, instead of the
 Collection specified in the Multimap interface.

 Changes to the returned collection will update the underlying multimap, and vice versa. However, adding to the returned collection is not possible.
The iterator generated by the returned collection traverses the values for one key, followed by the values of a second key, and so on. Consequently, the values do not follow their natural ordering or the ordering of the value comparator.
public Set<Map.Entry<K,V>> entries()
Map.Entry instances.
 Changes to the returned collection or the entries it contains will update the underlying multimap, and vice versa. However, adding to the returned collection is not possible.
The iterator generated by the returned collection traverses the values for one key, followed by the values of a second key, and so on.
Each entry is an immutable snapshot of a key-value mapping in the multimap, taken at the time the entry is returned by a method call to the collection or its iterator.
Because a SetMultimap has unique values for a given key, this
 method returns a Set, instead of the Collection specified
 in the Multimap interface.
entries in interface Multimap<K,V>entries in interface SetMultimap<K,V>public boolean equals(@Nullable Object object)
Two SetMultimap instances are equal if, for each key, they
 contain the same values. Equality does not depend on the ordering of keys
 or values.

 keys in the multimap, which is given by keySet().size() or
 asMap().size(). See the opening section of the Multimap
 class documentation for clarification.

 In particular, this is a no-op if values is empty.
