Class TreeMultimap<K,V>

  extended by com.google.common.collect.TreeMultimap<K,V>
All Implemented Interfaces:

@GwtCompatible(serializable=true,
               emulated=true)
public class TreeMultimap<K,V>
extends Object

Implementation of 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.

Depending on the comparators, null keys and values may or may not be supported. The natural ordering does not support nulls. 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).

Method Detail

create

public static <K extends Comparable,V extends Comparable> TreeMultimap<K,V> create()
Creates an empty TreeMultimap ordered by the natural ordering of its keys and values.


create

public static <K,V> TreeMultimap<K,V> create(Comparator<? super K> keyComparator,
                                             Comparator<? super V> valueComparator)
Creates an empty TreeMultimap instance using explicit comparators. Neither comparator may be null; use Ordering.natural() to specify natural order.

Parameters:
keyComparator - the comparator that determines the key ordering
valueComparator - the comparator that determines the value ordering

create

public static <K extends Comparable,V extends Comparable> TreeMultimap<K,V> create(Multimap<? extends K,? extends V> multimap)
Constructs a TreeMultimap, ordered by the natural ordering of its keys and values, with the same mappings as the specified multimap.

Parameters:
multimap - the multimap whose contents are copied to this multimap

keyComparator

public Comparator<? super K> keyComparator()
Returns the comparator that orders the multimap keys.


valueComparator

public Comparator<? super V> valueComparator()
Description copied from interface: SortedSetMultimap
Returns the comparator that orders the multimap values, with a null indicating that natural ordering is used.


keySet

public SortedSet<K> keySet()
Returns the set of all keys, each appearing once in the returned set. Changes to the returned set will update the underlying multimap, and vice versa.

Because a TreeMultimap has unique sorted keys, this method returns a SortedSet, instead of the Set specified in the Multimap interface.

Specified by:
keySet in interface Multimap<K,V>
Returns:
the collection of distinct keys

asMap

public SortedMap<K,Collection<V>> asMap()
Returns a map view that associates each key with the corresponding values in the multimap. Changes to the returned map, such as element removal, will update the underlying multimap. The map does not support 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.

Because a TreeMultimap has unique sorted keys, this method returns a SortedMap, instead of the Map specified in the Multimap interface.

Specified by:
asMap in interface Multimap<K,V>
Specified by:
asMap in interface SetMultimap<K,V>
Specified by:
asMap in interface SortedSetMultimap<K,V>
Returns:
a map view from a key to its collection of values

get

public SortedSet<V> get(@Nullable
                        K key)
Returns a collection view of all values associated with a key. If no mappings in the multimap have the provided key, an empty collection is returned.

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.

Specified by:
get in interface Multimap<K,V>
Specified by:
get in interface SetMultimap<K,V>
Specified by:
get in interface SortedSetMultimap<K,V>
Parameters:
key - key to search for in multimap
Returns:
the collection of values that the key maps to

removeAll

public SortedSet<V> removeAll(@Nullable
                              Object key)
Removes all values associated with a given key. The returned collection is immutable.

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.

Specified by:
removeAll in interface Multimap<K,V>
Specified by:
removeAll in interface SetMultimap<K,V>
Specified by:
removeAll in interface SortedSetMultimap<K,V>
Parameters:
key - key of entries to remove from the multimap
Returns:
the collection of removed values, or an empty collection if no values were associated with the provided key. The collection may be modifiable, but updating it will have no effect on the multimap.

replaceValues

public SortedSet<V> replaceValues(K key,
                                  Iterable<? extends V> values)
Stores a collection of values with the same key, replacing any existing values for that key. The returned collection is immutable.

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.

Any duplicates in values will be stored in the multimap once.

Specified by:
replaceValues in interface Multimap<K,V>
Specified by:
replaceValues in interface SetMultimap<K,V>
Specified by:
replaceValues in interface SortedSetMultimap<K,V>
Parameters:
key - key to store in the multimap
values - values to store in the multimap
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.

values

public Collection<V> values()
Returns a collection of all values in the multimap. Changes to the returned collection will update the underlying multimap, and vice versa.

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.

Specified by:
values in interface Multimap<K,V>
Returns:
collection of values, which may include the same value multiple times if it occurs in multiple mappings

entries

public Set<Map.Entry<K,V>> entries()
Returns a collection of all key-value pairs. Changes to the returned collection will update the underlying multimap, and vice versa. The entries collection does not support the add or addAll operations.

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.

Specified by:
entries in interface Multimap<K,V>
Specified by:
entries in interface SetMultimap<K,V>
Returns:
collection of map entries consisting of key-value pairs

put

public boolean put(K key,
                   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 if the method increased the size of the multimap, or false if the multimap already contained the key-value pair

equals

public boolean equals(@Nullable
                      Object object)
Compares the specified object to this multimap for equality.

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.

Specified by:
equals in interface Multimap<K,V>
Specified by:
equals in interface SetMultimap<K,V>
Parameters:
object - the reference object with which to compare.
Returns:
true if this object is the same as the obj argument; false otherwise.
