java集合框架中HashMap源码（基于JDK1.6）

基于哈希表的 Map 接口的实现。此实现提供所有可选的映射操作，并允许使用
null 值和 null 键。（除了非同步和允许使用 null 之外，HashMap 类与 Hashtable 大致相同。）此类不保证映射的顺序，特别是它不保证该顺序恒久不变。

此实现假定哈希函数将元素适当地分布在各桶之间，可为基本操作（get 和
put）提供稳定的性能。迭代 collection 视图所需的时间与 HashMap 实例的“容量”（桶的数量）及其大小（键-值映射关系数）成比例。所以，如果迭代性能很重要，则不要将初始容量设置得太高（或将加载因子设置得太低）。

HashMap 的实例有两个参数影响其性能：初始容量 和加载因子。容量 是哈希表中桶的数量，初始容量只是哈希表在创建时的容量。加载因子 是哈希表在其容量自动增加之前可以达到多满的一种尺度。当哈希表中的条目数超出了加载因子与当前容量的乘积时，则要对该哈希表进行rehash 操作（即重建内部数据结构），从而哈希表将具有大约两倍的桶数。

通常，默认加载因子 (.75) 在时间和空间成本上寻求一种折衷。加载因子过高虽然减少了空间开销，但同时也增加了查询成本（在大多数HashMap 类的操作中，包括
get 和 put 操作，都反映了这一点）。在设置初始容量时应该考虑到映射中所需的条目数及其加载因子，以便最大限度地减少 rehash 操作次数。如果初始容量大于最大条目数除以加载因子，则不会发生 rehash 操作。

如果很多映射关系要存储在 HashMap 实例中，则相对于按需执行自动的 rehash 操作以增大表的容量来说，使用足够大的初始容量创建它将使得映射关系能更有效地存储。

注意，此实现不是同步的。如果多个线程同时访问一个哈希映射，而其中至少一个线程从结构上修改了该映射，则它必须 保持外部同步。（结构上的修改是指添加或删除一个或多个映射关系的任何操作；仅改变与实例已经包含的键关联的值不是结构上的修改。）这一般通过对自然封装该映射的对象进行同步操作来完成。如果不存在这样的对象，则应该使用

Collections.synchronizedMap

方法来“包装”该映射。最好在创建时完成这一操作，以防止对映射进行意外的非同步访问，如下所示：

Map m = Collections.synchronizedMap(new HashMap(...));

由所有此类的“collection 视图方法”所返回的迭代器都是快速失败 的：在迭代器创建之后，如果从结构上对映射进行修改，除非通过迭代器本身的remove 方法，其他任何时间任何方式的修改，迭代器都将抛出

ConcurrentModificationException

。因此，面对并发的修改，迭代器很快就会完全失败，而不冒在将来不确定的时间发生任意不确定行为的风险。

注意，迭代器的快速失败行为不能得到保证，一般来说，存在非同步的并发修改时，不可能作出任何坚决的保证。快速失败迭代器尽最大努力抛出ConcurrentModificationException。因此，编写依赖于此异常的程序的做法是错误的，正确做法是：迭代器的快速失败行为应该仅用于检测程序错误。
