public class LinkedListMultimap<K,V>
extends Object
implements ListMultimap<K,V>, Serializable
```
An implementation of ListMultimap that supports deterministic iteration order for both keys and values. The iteration order is preserved across non-distinct key values. For example, for the following multimap definition:
```
 Multimap<K, V> multimap = LinkedListMultimap.create();
 multimap.put(key1, foo);
 multimap.put(key2, bar);
 multimap.put(key1, baz);
 
```
... the iteration order for Multimap.keys() is [key1, key2, key1], and similarly for entries(). Unlike LinkedHashMultimap, the iteration order is kept consistent between keys, entries and values. For example, calling:
```
 multimap.remove(key1, foo);
 
```
changes the entries iteration order to [key2=bar, key1=baz] and the key iteration order to [key2, key1]. The entries() iterator returns mutable map entries, and replaceValues(K, java.lang.Iterable<? extends V>) attempts to preserve iteration order as much as possible.
The collections returned by Multimap.keySet() and asMap iterate through the keys in the order they were first added to the multimap. Similarly, get(K), removeAll(java.lang.Object), and replaceValues(K, java.lang.Iterable<? extends V>) return collections that iterate through the values in the order they were added. The collections generated by entries(), Multimap.keys(), and values() iterate across the key-value mappings in the order they were added to the multimap.
The values() and entries() methods both return a List, instead of the Collection specified by the ListMultimap interface.
The methods get(K), Multimap.keySet(), Multimap.keys(), values(), entries(), and asMap return collections that are views of the multimap. If the multimap is modified while an iteration over any of those collections is in progress, except through the iterator's methods, the results of the iteration are undefined.
Keys and values may be null. 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.synchronizedListMultimap(com.google.common.collect.ListMultimap<K, V>).

- Method Detail
  - create
```
public static <K,V> LinkedListMultimap<K,V> create()
```
    Creates a new, empty LinkedListMultimap with the default initial capacity.
  - create
```
public static <K,V> LinkedListMultimap<K,V> create(int expectedKeys)
```
    Constructs an empty LinkedListMultimap with enough capacity to hold the specified number of keys without rehashing.
    
    Parameters:
    
    expectedKeys - the expected number of distinct keys
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if expectedKeys is negative
  - create
```
public static <K,V> LinkedListMultimap<K,V> create(Multimap<? extends K,? extends V> multimap)
```
    Constructs a LinkedListMultimap with the same mappings as the specified Multimap. The new multimap has the same Multimap.entries() iteration order as the input multimap.
    
    Parameters:
    
    multimap - the multimap whose contents are copied to this multimap
  - size
```
public int size()
```
    Description copied from interface: Multimap
    
    Returns the number of key-value pairs in this multimap.
    Note: this method does not return the number of distinct keys in the multimap, which is given by keySet().size() or asMap().size(). See the opening section of the Multimap class documentation for clarification.
    
    Specified by:
    
    size in interface Multimap<K,V>
  - isEmpty
```
public boolean isEmpty()
```
    Description copied from interface: Multimap
    
    Returns true if this multimap contains no key-value pairs. Equivalent to size() == 0, but can in some cases be more efficient.
    
    Specified by:
    
    isEmpty in interface Multimap<K,V>
  - containsKey
```
public boolean containsKey(@Nullable Object key)
```
    Description copied from interface: Multimap
    
    Returns true if this multimap contains at least one key-value pair with the key key.
    
    Specified by:
    
    containsKey in interface Multimap<K,V>
  - containsValue
```
public boolean containsValue(@Nullable Object value)
```
    Description copied from interface: Multimap
    
    Returns true if this multimap contains at least one key-value pair with the value value.
    
    Specified by:
    
    containsValue in interface Multimap<K,V>
  - put
```
@CanIgnoreReturnValue
public boolean put(@Nullable K key,
                   @Nullable V value)
```
    Stores a key-value pair in the multimap.
    
    Specified by:
    
    put in interface Multimap<K,V>
    
    Parameters:
    
    key - key to store in the multimap
    
    value - value to store in the multimap
    
    Returns:
    
    true always
  - replaceValues
```
@CanIgnoreReturnValue
public List<V> replaceValues(@Nullable K key,
                             Iterable<? extends V> values)
```
    Stores a collection of values with the same key, replacing any existing values for that key.
    If values is empty, this is equivalent to removeAll(key).
    If any entries for the specified key already exist in the multimap, their values are changed in-place without affecting the iteration order.
    The returned list is immutable and implements RandomAccess.
    
    Specified by:
    
    replaceValues in interface ListMultimap<K,V>
    
    Specified by:
    
    replaceValues in interface Multimap<K,V>
    
    Returns:
    
    the collection of replaced values, or an empty collection if no values were previously associated with the key. The collection may be modifiable, but updating it will have no effect on the multimap.
  - removeAll
```
@CanIgnoreReturnValue
public List<V> removeAll(@Nullable Object key)
```
    Removes all values associated with the key key.
    Once this method returns, key will not be mapped to any values, so it will not appear in Multimap.keySet(), Multimap.asMap(), or any other views.
    Because the values for a given key may have duplicates and follow the insertion ordering, this method returns a List, instead of the Collection specified in the Multimap interface.
    The returned list is immutable and implements RandomAccess.
    
    Specified by:
    
    removeAll in interface ListMultimap<K,V>
    
    Specified by:
    
    removeAll in interface Multimap<K,V>
    
    Returns:
    
    the values that were removed (possibly empty). The returned collection may be modifiable, but updating it will have no effect on the multimap.
  - clear
```
public void clear()
```
    Description copied from interface: Multimap
    
    Removes all key-value pairs from the multimap, leaving it empty.
    
    Specified by:
    
    clear in interface Multimap<K,V>
  - get
```
public List<V> get(@Nullable K key)
```
    Returns a view collection of the values associated with key in this multimap, if any. Note that when containsKey(key) is false, this returns an empty collection, not null.
    Changes to the returned collection will update the underlying multimap, and vice versa.
    Because the values for a given key may have duplicates and follow the insertion ordering, this method returns a List, instead of the Collection specified in the Multimap interface.
    If the multimap is modified while an iteration over the list is in progress (except through the iterator's own add, set or remove operations) the results of the iteration are undefined.
    The returned list is not serializable and does not have random access.
    
    Specified by:
    
    get in interface ListMultimap<K,V>
    
    Specified by:
    
    get in interface Multimap<K,V>
  - values
```
public List<V> values()
```
    Returns a view collection containing the value from each key-value pair contained in this multimap, without collapsing duplicates (so values().size() == size()).
    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 in the order they were added to the multimap. Because the values may have duplicates and follow the insertion ordering, this method returns a List, instead of the Collection specified in the ListMultimap interface.
    
    Specified by:
    
    values in interface Multimap<K,V>
  - entries
```
public List<Map.Entry<K,V>> entries()
```
    Returns a view collection of all key-value pairs contained in this multimap, as 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 entries in the order they were added to the multimap. Because the entries may have duplicates and follow the insertion ordering, this method returns a List, instead of the Collection specified in the ListMultimap interface.
    An entry's Map.Entry.getKey() method always returns the same key, regardless of what happens subsequently. As long as the corresponding key-value mapping is not removed from the multimap, Map.Entry.getValue() returns the value from the multimap, which may change over time, and Map.Entry.setValue(V) modifies that value. Removing the mapping from the multimap does not alter the value returned by getValue(), though a subsequent setValue() call won't update the multimap but will lead to a revised value being returned by getValue().
    
    Specified by:
    
    entries in interface Multimap<K,V>
  - containsEntry
```
public boolean containsEntry(@Nullable Object key,
                             @Nullable Object value)
```
    Description copied from interface: Multimap
    
    Returns true if this multimap contains at least one key-value pair with the key key and the value value.
    
    Specified by:
    
    containsEntry in interface Multimap<K,V>
  - remove
```
@CanIgnoreReturnValue
public boolean remove(@Nullable Object key,
                      @Nullable Object value)
```
    Description copied from interface: Multimap
    
    Removes a single key-value pair with the key key and the value value from this multimap, if such exists. If multiple key-value pairs in the multimap fit this description, which one is removed is unspecified.
    
    Specified by:
    
    remove in interface Multimap<K,V>
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the multimap changed
  - putAll
```
@CanIgnoreReturnValue
public boolean putAll(@Nullable K key,
                      Iterable<? extends V> values)
```
    Description copied from interface: Multimap
    Stores a key-value pair in this multimap for each of values, all using the same key, key. Equivalent to (but expected to be more efficient than):
    for (V value : values) { put(key, value); }
    
    In particular, this is a no-op if values is empty.
    Specified by:
    
    putAll in interface Multimap<K,V>
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the multimap changed
  - putAll
```
@CanIgnoreReturnValue
public boolean putAll(Multimap<? extends K,? extends V> multimap)
```
    Description copied from interface: Multimap
    
    Stores all key-value pairs of multimap in this multimap, in the order returned by multimap.entries().
    
    Specified by:
    
    putAll in interface Multimap<K,V>
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the multimap changed
  - keySet
```
public Set<K> keySet()
```
    Description copied from interface: Multimap
    
    Returns a view collection of all distinct keys contained in this multimap. Note that the key set contains a key if and only if this multimap maps that key to at least one value.
    Changes to the returned set will update the underlying multimap, and vice versa. However, adding to the returned set is not possible.
    
    Specified by:
    
    keySet in interface Multimap<K,V>
  - keys
```
public Multiset<K> keys()
```
    Description copied from interface: Multimap
    
    Returns a view collection containing the key from each key-value pair in this multimap, without collapsing duplicates. This collection has the same size as this multimap, and keys().count(k) == get(k).size() for all k.
    Changes to the returned multiset will update the underlying multimap, and vice versa. However, adding to the returned collection is not possible.
    
    Specified by:
    
    keys in interface Multimap<K,V>
  - asMap
```
public Map<K,Collection<V>> asMap()
```
    Description copied from interface: Multimap
    
    Returns a view of this multimap as a Map from each distinct key to the nonempty collection of that key's associated values. Note that this.asMap().get(k) is equivalent to this.get(k) only when k is a key contained in the multimap; otherwise it returns null as opposed to an empty collection.
    Changes to the returned map or the collections that serve as its values will update the underlying multimap, and vice versa. The map does not support put or putAll, nor do its entries support setValue.
    
    Specified by:
    
    asMap in interface Multimap<K,V>
  - equals
```
public boolean equals(@Nullable Object object)
```
    Description copied from class: java.lang.Object
    Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one.
    The equals method implements an equivalence relation on non-null object references:
    
    It is reflexive: for any non-null reference value x, x.equals(x) should return true.
    It is symmetric: for any non-null reference values x and y, x.equals(y) should return true if and only if y.equals(x) returns true.
    It is transitive: for any non-null reference values x, y, and z, if x.equals(y) returns true and y.equals(z) returns true, then x.equals(z) should return true.
    It is consistent: for any non-null reference values x and y, multiple invocations of x.equals(y) consistently return true or consistently return false, provided no information used in equals comparisons on the objects is modified.
    For any non-null reference value x, x.equals(null) should return false.
    
    The equals method for class Object implements the most discriminating possible equivalence relation on objects; that is, for any non-null reference values x and y, this method returns true if and only if x and y refer to the same object (x == y has the value true).
    Note that it is generally necessary to override the hashCode method whenever this method is overridden, so as to maintain the general contract for the hashCode method, which states that equal objects must have equal hash codes.
    Specified by:
    
    equals in interface Multimap<K,V>
    
    Overrides:
    
    equals in class Object
    
    Parameters:
    
    object - the reference object with which to compare.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if this object is the same as the obj argument; false otherwise.

    Object.hashCode(), HashMap
  - hashCode
```
public int hashCode()
```
    Returns the hash code for this multimap.
    The hash code of a multimap is defined as the hash code of the map view, as returned by Multimap.asMap().
    
    Specified by:
    
    hashCode in interface Multimap<K,V>
    
    Overrides:
    
    hashCode in class Object
    
    Returns:
    
    a hash code value for this object.
    
    See Also:
    
    Map.hashCode()
  - toString
```
public String toString()
```
    Returns a string representation of the multimap, generated by calling toString on the map returned by Multimap.asMap().
    
    Overrides:
    
    toString in class Object
    
    Returns:
    
    a string representation of the multimap
