All Implemented Interfaces:
Externalizable, Serializable, Cloneable, Iterable<T>, Collection<T>, List<T>, RandomAccess, MutableCollection<T>, InternalIterable<T>, ListIterable<T>, MultiReaderList<T>, MutableList<T>, OrderedIterable<T>, ReversibleIterable<T>, RichIterable<T>
public final class MultiReaderFastList<T> extends AbstractMultiReaderMutableCollection<T> implements RandomAccess, Externalizable, MultiReaderList<T>
MultiReadFastList provides a thread-safe wrapper around a FastList, using a ReentrantReadWriteLock. In order to provide true thread-safety, MultiReaderFastList does not implement iterator(), listIterator(), listIterator(int), or get(int), as all these methods require an external lock to be taken to provide thread-safe iteration. All of these methods are available however, if you use the withReadLockAndDelegate() or withWriteLockAndDelegate() methods. Both of these methods take a parameter of type Procedure<MutableList>, and a wrapped version of the underlying FastList is returned. This wrapper guarantees that no external pointer can ever reference the underlying FastList outside a locked procedure. In the case of the read lock method, an Unmodifiable version of the collection is offered, which will throw UnsupportedOperationExceptions on any write methods like add or remove.
