## Class AbstractHashedMap<K,V>

- java.lang.Object
- - java.util.AbstractMap<K,V>
  - - org.apache.commons.collections4.map.AbstractHashedMap<K,V>

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    Map<K,V>, Get<K,V>, IterableGet<K,V>, IterableMap<K,V>, Put<K,V>
  Direct Known Subclasses:
    AbstractLinkedMap, AbstractReferenceMap, CaseInsensitiveMap, HashedMap

      public class AbstractHashedMap<K,V>
      extends AbstractMap<K,V>
      implements IterableMap<K,V>

  An abstract implementation of a hash-based map which provides numerous points for subclasses to override.

  This class implements all the features necessary for a subclass hash-based map. Key-value entries are stored in instances of the `HashEntry` class, which can be overridden and replaced. The iterators can similarly be replaced, without the need to replace the KeySet, EntrySet and Values view classes.

  Overridable methods are provided to change the default hashing behaviour, and to change how entries are added to and removed from the map. Hopefully, all you need for unusual subclasses is here.

  NOTE: From Commons Collections 3.1 this class extends AbstractMap. This is to provide backwards compatibility for ReferenceMap between v3.0 and v3.1. This extends clause will be removed in v5.0.

  Since:
    3.0

      Returns:
        the converted key

    - #### hash

      Compares two keys, in internal converted form, to see if they are equal. This implementation uses the equals method and assumes neither key is null. Subclasses can override this to match differently.
      Parameters:
        `key1` - the first key to compare passed in from outside
        `key2` - the second key extracted from the entry via `entry.key`

                        V value)

      Reuses an existing key-value mapping, storing completely new data.

      This implementation sets all the data fields on the entry. Subclasses could populate additional entry fields.

      This implementation adds the entry to the data storage table. Subclasses could override to handle changes to the map.

      Parameters:
        `entry` - the entry to add
        `hashIndex` - the index into the data array to store at

    - #### removeMapping

          protected void removeMapping(AbstractHashedMap.HashEntry<K,V> entry,

                           AbstractHashedMap.HashEntry<K,V> previous)

      Removes a mapping from the map.

      This implementation calls `removeEntry()` and `destroyEntry()`. It also handles changes to `modCount` and `size`. Subclasses could override to fully control removals from the map.

      Parameters:
        `entry` - the entry to remove
        `hashIndex` - the index into the data structure
        `previous` - the previous entry in the chain

    - #### removeEntry

          protected void removeEntry(AbstractHashedMap.HashEntry<K,V> entry,
                         int hashIndex,
                         AbstractHashedMap.HashEntry<K,V> previous)

      Removes an entry from the chain stored in a particular index.

      This implementation removes the entry from the data storage table. The size is not updated. Subclasses could override to handle changes to the map.

      Parameters:
        `entry` - the entry to remove
        `hashIndex` - the index into the data structure
        `previous` - the previous entry in the chain

    - #### destroyEntry

          protected void destroyEntry(AbstractHashedMap.HashEntry<K,V> entry)

      Kills an entry ready for the garbage collector.

      This implementation prepares the HashEntry for garbage collection. Subclasses can override this to implement caching (override clear as well).

      Parameters:
        `entry` - the entry to destroy

    - #### checkCapacity

                               float factor)

      Calculates the new threshold of the map, where it will be resized. This implementation uses the load factor.
      Parameters:

        `factor` - the load factor
      Returns:
        the new resize threshold

        the map iterator

    - #### entrySet

        the values iterator

    - #### doWriteObject

          protected void doWriteObject(ObjectOutputStream out)
                                throws IOException

      Writes the map data to the stream. This method must be overridden if a subclass must be setup before `put()` is used.

      Serialization is not one of the JDK's nicest topics. Normal serialization will initialise the superclass before the subclass. Sometimes however, this isn't what you want, as in this case the `put()` method on read can be affected by subclass state.

      The solution adopted here is to serialize the state data of this class in this protected method. This method must be called by the `writeObject()` of the first serializable subclass.

      Subclasses may override if they have a specific field that must be present on read before this implementation will work. Generally, the read determines what must be serialized here, if anything.

      Parameters:
        `out` - the output stream
      Throws:
        `IOException` - if an error occurs while writing tothe stream

    - #### doReadObject

          protected void doReadObject(ObjectInputStream in)
                               throws IOException,
                                      ClassNotFoundException

      Reads the map data from the stream. This method must be overridden if a subclass must be setup before `put()` is used.

      Serialization is not one of the JDK's nicest topics. Normal serialization will initialise the superclass before the subclass. Sometimes however, this isn't what you want, as in this case the `put()` method on read can be affected by subclass state.

      The solution adopted here is to deserialize the state data of this class in this protected method. This method must be called by the `readObject()` of the first serializable subclass.

      Subclasses may override if the subclass has a specific field that must be present before `put()` or `calculateThreshold()` will work correctly.

      Parameters:
        `in` - the input stream
      Throws:
        `IOException` - if an error occurs while reading from the stream
        `ClassNotFoundException` - if an object read from the stream can not be loaded

    - #### clone

          protected AbstractHashedMap<K,V> clone()

      Clones the map without cloning the keys or values.

      To implement `clone()`, a subclass must implement the `Cloneable` interface and make this method public.

      Overrides:
        `clone` in class `AbstractMap<K,V>`
      Returns:
        a shallow clone
      Throws:
        `InternalError` - if `AbstractMap.clone()` failed

        true if equal

    - #### hashCode

          public int hashCode()

      Gets the standard Map hashCode.
      Specified by:
        `hashCode` in interface `Map<K,V>`
      Overrides:
        `hashCode` in class `AbstractMap<K,V>`
      Returns:
        the hash code defined in the Map interface

    - #### toString

          public String toString()

      Gets the map as a String.
      Overrides:
