R - the type of the table row keys

C - the type of the table column keys

V - the type of the mapped values

RowSortedTable<R,C,V>

@DoNotMock("Use ImmutableTable, HashBasedTable, or another implementation")
@GwtCompatible
public interface Table<R extends @Nullable Object,C extends @Nullable Object,V extends @Nullable Object>
```
A collection that associates an ordered pair of keys, called a row key and a column key, with a single value. A table may be sparse, with only a small fraction of row key / column key pairs possessing a corresponding value.
The mappings corresponding to a given row key may be viewed as a Map whose keys are the columns. The reverse is also available, associating a column with a row key / value map. Note that, in some implementations, data access by column key may have fewer supported operations or worse performance than data access by row key.
The methods returning collections or maps always return views of the underlying table. Updating the table can change the contents of those collections, and updating the collections will change the table.
All methods that modify the table are optional, and the views returned by the table may or may not be modifiable. When modification isn't supported, those methods will throw an UnsupportedOperationException.

    Overrides:
    
    equals in class Object
  - hashCode
```
int hashCode()
```
    Returns the hash code for this table. The hash code of a table is defined as the hash code of its cell view, as returned by cellSet().

  - row
```
Map<C,V> row(R rowKey)
```
    Returns a view of all mappings that have the given row key. For each row key / column key / value mapping in the table with that row key, the returned map associates the column key with the value. If no mappings in the table have the provided row key, an empty map is returned.
    Changes to the returned map will update the underlying table, and vice versa.
    
    Parameters:
    
    rowKey - key of row to search for in the table
    
    Returns:
    
    the corresponding map from column keys to values
  - column
```
Map<R,V> column(C columnKey)
```
    Returns a view of all mappings that have the given column key. For each row key / column key / value mapping in the table with that column key, the returned map associates the row key with the value. If no mappings in the table have the provided column key, an empty map is returned.
    Changes to the returned map will update the underlying table, and vice versa.
    
    Parameters:
    
    columnKey - key of column to search for in the table
    
    Returns:
    
    the corresponding map from row keys to values
  - cellSet
```
Set<Table.Cell<R,C,V>> cellSet()
```
    Returns a set of all row key / column key / value triplets. Changes to the returned set will update the underlying table, and vice versa. The cell set does not support the add or addAll methods.
    
    Returns:
    
    set of table cells consisting of row key / column key / value triplets
  - rowKeySet
```
Set<R> rowKeySet()
```
    Returns a set of row keys that have one or more values in the table. Changes to the set will update the underlying table, and vice versa.
    
    Returns:
    
    set of row keys
  - columnKeySet
```
Set<C> columnKeySet()
```
    Returns a set of column keys that have one or more values in the table. Changes to the set will update the underlying table, and vice versa.
    
    Returns:
    
    set of column keys
  - values
```
Collection<V> values()
```
    Returns a collection of all values, which may contain duplicates. Changes to the returned collection will update the underlying table, and vice versa.
    
    Returns:
    
    collection of values
  - rowMap
```
Map<R,Map<C,V>> rowMap()
```
    Returns a view that associates each row key with the corresponding map from column keys to values. Changes to the returned map will update this table. The returned map does not support put() or putAll(), or setValue() on its entries.
    In contrast, the maps returned by rowMap().get() have the same behavior as those returned by row(R). Those maps may support setValue(), put(), and putAll().
    
    Returns:
    
    a map view from each row key to a secondary map from column keys to values
  - columnMap
```
Map<C,Map<R,V>> columnMap()
```
    Returns a view that associates each column key with the corresponding map from row keys to values. Changes to the returned map will update this table. The returned map does not support put() or putAll(), or setValue() on its entries.
    In contrast, the maps returned by columnMap().get() have the same behavior as those returned by column(C). Those maps may support setValue(), put(), and putAll().
    
    Returns:
    
    a map view from each column key to a secondary map from row keys to values
