```
public interface IMap<K,V>
extends ConcurrentMap<K,V>, LegacyAsyncMap<K,V>
```
Concurrent, distributed, observable and queryable map.
This class is not a general-purpose ConcurrentMap implementation! While this class implements the Map interface, it intentionally violates Map's general contract, which mandates the use of the equals method when comparing objects. Instead of the equals method, this implementation compares the serialized byte version of the objects.
Gotchas:
- Methods, including but not limited to get, containsKey, containsValue, evict, remove, put, putIfAbsent, replace, lock, unlock, do not use hashCode and equals implementations of keys. Instead, they use hashCode and equals of binary (serialized) forms of the objects.
- The get method returns a clone of original values, so modifying the returned value does not change the actual value in the map. You should put the modified value back to make changes visible to all nodes. For additional info, see get(Object).
- Methods, including but not limited to keySet, values, entrySet, return a collection clone of the values. The collection is NOT backed by the map, so changes to the map are NOT reflected in the collection, and vice-versa.
This class does not allow null to be used as a key or value.
Entry Processing
The following operations are lock-aware, since they operate on a single key only. If the key is locked the EntryProcessor will wait until it acquires the lock.
There are however following methods that run the EntryProcessor on more than one entry. These operations are not lock-aware. The EntryProcessor will process the entries no matter if they are locked or not. The user may however check if an entry is locked by casting the Map.Entry to LockAware and invoking the LockAware.isLocked() method.
This applies to both EntryProcessor and backup EntryProcessor.
Split-brain
Behaviour of IMap under split-brain scenarios should be taken into account when using this data structure. During a split, each partitioned cluster will either create a brand new IMap or it will continue to use the primary or back-up version.
When the split heals, Hazelcast by default, performs a PutIfAbsentMapMergePolicy. Users can also decide to specify their own map merge policies, these policies when used in concert with CRDTs (Convergent and Commutative Replicated Data Types) can ensure against data loss during a split-brain.
As a defensive mechanism against such inconsistency, consider using the in-built split-brain protection for IMap. Using this functionality it is possible to restrict operations in smaller partitioned clusters. It should be noted that there is still an inconsistency window between the time of the split and the actual detection. Therefore using this reduces the window of inconsistency but can never completely eliminate it.
Mutating methods without TTL
Certain IMap methods perform the entry set mutation and don't accept TTL as a parameter. Entries created or updated by such methods are subjects for the following TTL calculation procedure:
- If the entry is new, i.e. the entry was created, it receives the default TTL value configured for the map using time-to-live-seconds configuration setting. If this setting is not provided for the map, the entry receives an infinite TTL value.
- If the entry already exists, i.e. the entry was updated, its TTL value remains unchanged and its lifetime is prolonged by this TTL value.
The methods to which this procedure applies: put, set, putAsync, setAsync, tryPut, putAll, replace(Object, Object, Object) and replace(Object, Object).

  - putAll
```
void putAll(Map<? extends K,? extends V> m)
```
    No atomicity guarantees are given. It could be that in case of failure some of the key/value-pairs get written, while others are not.
    
    Specified by:
    
    putAll in interface Map<K,V>
  - containsKey
```
boolean containsKey(Object key)
```
    Returns true if this map contains an entry for the specified key.
    Warning:
    This method uses hashCode and equals of the binary form of the key, not the actual implementations of hashCode and equals defined in the key's class. The key will first be searched for in memory. If the key is not found, and if a key is attributed, a MapLoader will then attempt to load the key.
    
    Specified by:
    
    containsKey in interface BaseMap<K,V>
    
    Specified by:
    
    containsKey in interface Map<K,V>
    
    Parameters:
    
    key - The specified key.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if this map contains an entry for the specified key.
    
    Throws:
    
    NullPointerException - if the specified key is null
  - containsValue
```
boolean containsValue(Object value)
```

    containsValue in interface Map<K,V>
    
    Throws:
    
    NullPointerException - if the specified value is null
  - get
```
V get(Object key)
```
    Returns the value for the specified key, or null if this map does not contain this key.
    Warning 1:
    This method returns a clone of the original value, so modifying the returned value does not change the actual value in the map. You should put the modified value back to make changes visible to all nodes.
```
      V value = map.get(key);
      value.updateSomeProperty();
      map.put(key, value);
 
```
    Warning 2:
    This method uses hashCode and equals of the binary form of the key, not the actual implementations of hashCode and equals defined in the key's class.
    Specified by:
    
    get in interface BaseMap<K,V>
    
    Specified by:
    
    get in interface Map<K,V>
    
    Parameters:
    
    key - The specified key.
    
    Returns:
    
    The value for the specified key.
    
    Throws:
    
    NullPointerException - if the specified key is null
  - put
```
V put(K key,
      V value)
```
    Associates the specified value with the specified key in this map. If the map previously contained a mapping for the key, the old value is replaced by the specified value.
    Warning 1:
    This method returns a clone of the previous value, not the original (identically equal) value previously put into the map.
    Warning 2:
    This method uses hashCode and equals of the binary form of the key, not the actual implementations of hashCode and equals defined in the key's class.
    
    Specified by:
    
    put in interface BaseMap<K,V>
    
    Specified by:
    
    put in interface Map<K,V>
    
    Parameters:
    
    key - The specified key.
    
    value - The value to associate with the key.
    
    Returns:
    
    Previous value associated with key or null if there was no mapping for key.
    
    Throws:
    
    NullPointerException - if the specified key or value is null
  - remove
```
V remove(Object key)
```
    Removes the mapping for a key from this map if it is present.
    The map will not contain a mapping for the specified key once the call returns.
    Warning 1:
    This method uses hashCode and equals of the binary form of the key, not the actual implementations of hashCode and equals defined in the key's class.
    Warning 2:
    This method returns a clone of the previous value, not the original (identically equal) value previously put into the map.
    
    Specified by:
    
    remove in interface BaseMap<K,V>
    
    Specified by:
    
    remove in interface Map<K,V>
    
    Parameters:
    
    key - Remove the mapping for this key.
    
    Returns:
    
    The previous value associated with key, or null if there was no mapping for key.
    
    Throws:
    
    NullPointerException - if the specified key is null
  - remove
```
boolean remove(Object key,
               Object value)
```
    Removes the entry for a key only if currently mapped to a given value. This is equivalent to
```
   if (map.containsKey(key) && map.get(key).equals(value)) {
       map.remove(key);
       return true;
   } else return false;
```
    except that the action is performed atomically.
    Warning:
    This method uses hashCode and equals of the binary form of the key, not the actual implementations of hashCode and equals defined in the key's class.
    Specified by:
    
    remove in interface BaseMap<K,V>
    
    Specified by:
    
    remove in interface ConcurrentMap<K,V>
    
    Specified by:
    
    remove in interface Map<K,V>
    
    Parameters:
    
    key - The specified key.
    
    value - Remove the key if it has this value.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the value was removed.
    
    Throws:
    
    NullPointerException - if the specified key or value is null
  - removeAll
```
void removeAll(Predicate<K,V> predicate)
```
    Removes all entries which match with the supplied predicate.
    If this map has index, matching entries will be found via index search, otherwise they will be found by full-scan.
    Note that calling this method also removes all entries from callers Near Cache.
    
    Parameters:
    
    predicate - matching entries with this predicate will be removed from this map
    
    Throws:
    
    NullPointerException - if the specified predicate is null
  - delete
```
void delete(Object key)
```
    Removes the mapping for a key from this map if it is present (optional operation).
    Unlike remove(Object), this operation does not return the removed value, which avoids the serialization cost of the returned value.
    If the removed value will not be used, a delete operation is preferred over a remove operation for better performance.
    The map will not contain a mapping for the specified key once the call returns.
    Warning:
    This method breaks the contract of EntryListener. When an entry is removed by delete(), it fires an EntryEvent with a null oldValue.
    Also, a listener with predicates will have null values, so only keys can be queried via predicates.
    
    Specified by:
    
    delete in interface BaseMap<K,V>
    
    Parameters:
    
    key - key whose mapping is to be removed from the map
    
    Throws:
    
    ClassCastException - if the key is of an inappropriate type for this map (optional)
    
    NullPointerException - if the specified key is null
  - flush
```
void flush()
```
    If this map has a MapStore, this method flushes all the local dirty entries by calling MapStore.storeAll() and/or MapStore.deleteAll().
  - getAll
```
Map<K,V> getAll(Set<K> keys)
```
    Returns the entries for the given keys. If any keys are not present in the Map, it will call MapLoader.loadAll(java.util.Collection).
    Warning 1:
    The returned map is NOT backed by the original map, so changes to the original map are NOT reflected in the returned map, and vice-versa.
    Warning 2:
    This method uses hashCode and equals of the binary form of the keys, not the actual implementations of hashCode and equals defined in the key's class.
    
    Parameters:
    
    keys - keys to get (keys inside the collection cannot be null)
    
    Returns:
    
    map of entries
    
    Throws:
    
    NullPointerException - if any of the specified keys are null
  - loadAll
```
void loadAll(boolean replaceExistingValues)
```
    Loads all keys into the store. This is a batch load operation so that an implementation can optimize the multiple loads.
    
    Parameters:
    
    replaceExistingValues - when true, existing values in the Map will be replaced by those loaded from the MapLoader void loadAll(boolean replaceExistingValues));
    
    Since:
    
    3.3
  - loadAll
```
void loadAll(Set<K> keys,
             boolean replaceExistingValues)
```
    Loads the given keys. This is a batch load operation so that an implementation can optimize the multiple loads.
    
    Parameters:
    
    keys - keys of the values entries to load (keys inside the collection cannot be null)
    
    replaceExistingValues - when true, existing values in the Map will be replaced by those loaded from the MapLoader
    
    Since:
    
    3.3
  - clear
```
void clear()
```
    Clears the map and invokes MapStore.deleteAll(java.util.Collection<K>)deleteAll on MapStore which, if connected to a database, will delete the records from that database.
    The MAP_CLEARED event is fired for any registered listeners. See MapClearedListener.mapCleared(MapEvent).
    To clear a map without calling MapStore.deleteAll(java.util.Collection<K>), use evictAll().
    
    Specified by:
    
    clear in interface Map<K,V>
    
    See Also:
    
    evictAll()
  - getAsync
```
ICompletableFuture<V> getAsync(K key)
```
    Asynchronously gets the given key.
```
   ICompletableFuture future = map.getAsync(key);
   // do some other stuff, when ready get the result.
   Object value = future.get();
 
```
    Future.get() will block until the actual map.get() completes. If the application requires timely response, then Future.get(long, TimeUnit) can be used.
```
   try {
     ICompletableFuture future = map.getAsync(key);
     Object value = future.get(40, TimeUnit.MILLISECOND);
   } catch (TimeoutException t) {
     // time wasn't enough
   }
 
```
    Additionally, the client can schedule an ExecutionCallback to be invoked upon completion of the ICompletableFuture via ICompletableFuture.andThen(ExecutionCallback) or ICompletableFuture.andThen(ExecutionCallback, Executor):
```
   // assuming a IMap<String, String>
   ICompletableFuture<String> future = map.getAsync("a");
   future.andThen(new ExecutionCallback<String>() {
     public void onResponse(String response) {
       // do something with value in response
     }

     public void onFailure(Throwable t) {
       // handle failure
     }
   });
 
```
    ExecutionException is never thrown.

```
   ICompletableFuture future = map.putAsync(key, value);
   // do some other stuff, when ready get the result.
   Object oldValue = future.get();
 
```
    ICompletableFuture.get() will block until the actual map.put() completes. If the application requires a timely response, then you can use Future.get(timeout, timeunit).
```
   try {
     ICompletableFuture future = map.putAsync(key, newValue);
     Object oldValue = future.get(40, TimeUnit.MILLISECOND);
   } catch (TimeoutException t) {

  - lock
```
void lock(K key)
```
    Acquires the lock for the specified key.
    If the lock is not available, then the current thread becomes disabled for thread scheduling purposes and lies dormant until the lock has been acquired.
    You get a lock whether the value is present in the map or not. Other threads (possibly on other systems) would block on their invoke of lock() until the non-existent key is unlocked. If the lock holder introduces the key to the map, the put() operation is not blocked. If a thread not holding a lock on the non-existent key tries to introduce the key while a lock exists on the non-existent key, the put() operation blocks until it is unlocked.
    Scope of the lock is this map only. Acquired lock is only for the key in this map.
    Locks are re-entrant so if the key is locked N times then it should be unlocked N times before another thread can acquire it.
    There is no lock timeout on this method. Locks will be held infinitely.
    Warning:
    This method uses hashCode and equals of the binary form of the key, not the actual implementations of hashCode and equals defined in the key's class.
    
    Parameters:
    
    key - key to lock
    
    Throws:
    
    NullPointerException - if the specified key is null

```
void lock(K key,
          long leaseTime,
          TimeUnit timeUnit)
```
    Acquires the lock for the specified key for the specified lease time.
    After lease time, the lock will be released.
    If the lock is not available, then the current thread becomes disabled for thread scheduling purposes and lies dormant until the lock has been acquired.
    Scope of the lock is this map only. Acquired lock is only for the key in this map.
    Locks are re-entrant, so if the key is locked N times then it should be unlocked N times before another thread can acquire it.

    Tries to acquire the lock for the specified key for the specified lease time.
    After lease time, the lock will be released.
    If the lock is not available, then the current thread becomes disabled for thread scheduling purposes and lies dormant until one of two things happens:
    - the lock is acquired by the current thread, or
    - the specified waiting time elapses.

  - addLocalEntryListener
```
String addLocalEntryListener(MapListener listener)
```
    Adds a MapListener for this map. To receive an event, you should implement a corresponding MapListener sub-interface for that event.
    Note that entries in distributed map are partitioned across the cluster members; each member owns and manages the some portion of the entries. Owned entries are called local entries. This listener will be listening for the events of local entries. Let's say your cluster has member1 and member2. On member2 you added a local listener and from member1, you call map.put(key2, value2). If the key2 is owned by member2 then the local listener will be notified for the add/update event. Also note that entries can migrate to other nodes for load balancing and/or membership change.
    
    Parameters:
    
    listener - MapListener for this map
    
    Returns:
    
    a UUID.randomUUID().toString() which is used as a key to remove the listener
    
    Throws:
    
    UnsupportedOperationException - if this operation is not supported, for example on a Hazelcast client
    
    NullPointerException - if the listener is null

  - addIndex
```
void addIndex(String attribute,
              boolean ordered)
```
    Adds an index to this map for the specified entries so that queries can run faster.
    Let's say your map values are Employee objects.
```
   public class Employee implements Serializable {
     private boolean active = false;
     private int age;
     private String name = null;
     // other fields

     // getters setter
   }
 
```
    If you are querying your values mostly based on age and active then you should consider indexing these fields.
```
   IMap imap = Hazelcast.getMap("employees");
   imap.addIndex("age", true);        // ordered, since we have ranged queries for this field
   imap.addIndex("active", false);    // not ordered, because boolean field cannot have range
 
```
    Index attribute should either have a getter method or be public. You should also make sure to add the indexes before adding entries to this map.
    Time to Index
    Indexing time is executed in parallel on each partition by operation threads. The Map is not blocked during this operation.
    The time taken in proportional to the size of the Map and the number Members.
    Searches while indexes are being built
    Until the index finishes being created, any searches for the attribute will use a full Map scan, thus avoiding using a partially built index and returning incorrect results.
    Parameters:
    
    attribute - index attribute of value
    
    ordered - true if index should be ordered, false otherwise.
  - getLocalMapStats
```
LocalMapStats getLocalMapStats()
```
    Returns LocalMapStats for this map.
    LocalMapStats are the statistics for the local portion of this distributed map and contains information such as ownedEntryCount backupEntryCount, lastUpdateTime, lockedEntryCount.
    Since this stats are only for the local portion of this map, if you need the cluster-wide MapStats then you need to get the LocalMapStats from all members of the cluster and combine them.
    
    Returns:
    
    this map's local statistics
  - executeOnKey
```
Object executeOnKey(K key,
                    EntryProcessor entryProcessor)
```
    Applies the user defined EntryProcessor to the entry mapped by the key. Returns the the object which is result of the process() method of EntryProcessor.
    The EntryProcessor may implement the Offloadable and ReadOnly interfaces.
    If the EntryProcessor implements the Offloadable interface the processing will be offloaded to the given ExecutorService allowing unblocking the partition-thread, which means that other partition-operations may proceed. The key will be locked for the time-span of the processing in order to not generate a write-conflict. In this case the threading looks as follows:
    1. partition-thread (fetch & lock)
    2. execution-thread (process)
    3. partition-thread (set & unlock, or just unlock if no changes)
    If the EntryProcessor implements the Offloadable and ReadOnly interfaces the processing will be offloaded to the given ExecutorService allowing unblocking the partition-thread. Since the EntryProcessor is not supposed to do any changes to the Entry the key will NOT be locked for the time-span of the processing. In this case the threading looks as follows:
    1. partition-thread (fetch & lock)
    2. execution-thread (process)
    In this case the EntryProcessor.getBackupProcessor() has to return null; otherwise an IllegalArgumentException exception is thrown.
    If the EntryProcessor implements only ReadOnly without implementing Offloadable the processing unit will not be offloaded, however, the EntryProcessor will not wait for the lock to be acquired, since the EP will not do any modifications.
    Using offloading is useful if the EntryProcessor encompasses heavy logic that may stall the partition-thread.
    If the EntryProcessor implements ReadOnly and modifies the entry it is processing an UnsupportedOperationException will be thrown.
    Offloading will not be applied to backup partitions. It is possible to initialize the EntryBackupProcessor with some input provided by the EntryProcessor in the EntryProcessor.getBackupProcessor() method. The input allows providing context to the EntryBackupProcessor - for example the "delta" so that the EntryBackupProcessor does not have to calculate the "delta" but it may just apply it.
    Returns:
    
    result of entry process
    
    Throws:
    
    NullPointerException - if the specified key is null

```
    Applies the user defined EntryProcessor to the entry mapped by the key with specified ExecutionCallback to listen event status and returns immediately.
    The EntryProcessor may implement the Offloadable and ReadOnly interfaces.
    If the EntryProcessor implements the Offloadable interface the processing will be offloaded to the given ExecutorService allowing unblocking the partition-thread, which means that other partition-operations may proceed. The key will be locked for the time-span of the processing in order to not generate a write-conflict. In this case the threading looks as follows:

```
ICompletableFuture submitToKey(K key,
                               EntryProcessor entryProcessor)
```
    Applies the user defined EntryProcessor to the entry mapped by the key. Returns immediately with a ICompletableFuture representing that task.
    EntryProcessor is not cancellable, so calling ICompletableFuture.cancel() method won't cancel the operation of EntryProcessor.
    The EntryProcessor may implement the Offloadable and ReadOnly interfaces.
    If the EntryProcessor implements the Offloadable interface the processing will be offloaded to the given ExecutorService allowing unblocking the partition-thread, which means that other partition-operations may proceed. The key will be locked for the time-span of the processing in order to not generate a write-conflict. In this case the threading looks as follows:
