Class AggregateMapFactory<K,V>

java.lang.Object
  net.cscott.jutil.MapFactory<K,V>
      net.cscott.jutil.AggregateMapFactory<K,V>

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable

public class AggregateMapFactory<K,V>
extends MapFactory<K,V>
implements Serializable

AggregateMapFactory uses a single HashMap as backing store for the many smaller Maps created by this MapFactory. This means that we use much less space and rehash less frequently than if we were using the standard Factories.hashMapFactory(). The iterators of the submaps are fast, unlike those of HashMap.
