IMap (Hazelcast Root 4.0.6 API)

Type Parameters:

K - key type

V - value type

All Superinterfaces:

BaseMap<K,V>, ConcurrentMap<K,V>, DistributedObject, Map<K,V>
```
public interface IMap<K,V>
extends ConcurrentMap<K,V>, BaseMap<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.
Moreover, stored values are handled as having a value type semantics, while standard Java implementations treat them as having a reference type semantics.
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 an immutable collection clone of the values. The collection is NOT backed by the map, so changes to the map are NOT reflected in the collection.
- Since Hazelcast is compiled with Java 1.6, we can't override default methods introduced in later Java versions, nor can we add documentation to them. Methods, including but not limited to computeIfPresent, may behave incorrectly if the value passed to the update function is modified in-place and returned as a result of the invocation. You should create a new value instance and return it as a result.
  For example, following code fragment will behave incorrectly and will enter an infinite loop:
```
 map.computeIfPresent("key", (key, value) -> {
     value.setSomeAttribute("newAttributeValue");
     return value;
 });
 
```
  It should be replaced with:
```
 map.computeIfPresent("key", (key, value) -> {
     return new ObjectWithSomeAttribute("newAttributeValue");
 });
 
```
- Be careful while using default interface method implementations from ConcurrentMap and Map. Under the hood they are typically implemented as a sequence of more primitive map operations, therefore the operations won't be executed atomically.
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.
- executeOnKey(Object, EntryProcessor)
- submitToKey(Object, EntryProcessor)
However, there are 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 BackupEntryProcessor.
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 PutIfAbsentMergePolicy. 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.
Interactions with the map store
Maps can be configured to be backed by a map store to persist the entries. In this case many of the IMap methods call MapLoader or MapStore methods to load, store or remove data. Each method's javadoc describes the way of its interaction with the map store.
Expiration and eviction
Expiration puts a limit on the maximum lifetime of an entry stored inside the map. When the entry expires it can't be retrieved from the map any longer and at some point in time it will be cleaned out from the map to free up the memory. There are two expiration policies:
- The time-to-live (TTL) expiration policy limits the lifetime of the entry relative to the time of the last write access performed on the entry. The default TTL value for the map may be configured using the time-to-live-seconds setting, which has an infinite by default. An individual entry may have its own TTL value assigned using one of the methods accepting a TTL value, for instance using the put method. If there is no TTL value provided for the individual entry, it inherits the value set in the map configuration.
- The max-idle expiration policy limits the lifetime of the entry relative to the time of the last read or write access performed on the entry. The max-idle value for the map may be configured using the max-idle-seconds setting, which has an infinite value by default.
Both expiration policies may be used simultaneously on the map entries. In such case, the entry is considered expired if at least one of the policies marks it as expired.
Eviction puts a limit on the maximum size of the map. If the size of the map grows larger than the maximum allowed size, an eviction policy decides which item to evict from the map to reduce its size. The maximum allowed size may be configured using the max-size setting and the eviction policy may be configured using the eviction-policy setting as well. By default, maps have no restrictions on the size and may grow arbitrarily large.
Eviction may be enabled along with the expiration policies. In such case, the expiration policies continue to work as usual cleaning out the expired entries regardless of the map size.
Locked map entries are not the subjects for the expiration and eviction policies.
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 the 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).
Asynchronous methods
Asynchronous methods return a CompletionStage that can be used to chain further computation stages. Alternatively, a CompletableFuture can be obtained via CompletionStage.toCompletableFuture() to wait for the operation to complete in a blocking way.
Actions supplied for dependent completions of default non-async methods and async methods without an explicit Executor argument are performed by the ForkJoinPool.commonPool() (unless it does not support a parallelism level of at least 2, in which case a new Thread is created per task).

void putAll(@Nonnull
            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.
    Interactions with the map store
    For each element not found in memory MapLoader.load(Object) is invoked to load the value from the map store backing the map, which may come at a significant performance cost. Exceptions thrown by load fail the operation and are propagated to the caller. The elements which were added before the exception was thrown will remain in the map, the rest will not be added.
    If write-through persistence mode is configured, MapStore.store(Object, Object) is invoked for each element before the element is added in memory, which may come at a significant performance cost. Exceptions thrown by store fail the operation and are propagated to the caller. The elements which were added before the exception was thrown will remain in the map, the rest will not be added.
    If write-behind persistence mode is configured with write-coalescing turned off, ReachedMaxSizeException may be thrown if the write-behind queue has reached its per-node maximum capacity.

    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.

      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);

    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.
    Note: Use set(Object, Object) if you don't need the return value, it's slightly more efficient.
    Interactions with the map store

    Removes the mapping for a key from this map if it is present.
    If you don't need the previously mapped value for the removed key, prefer to use delete(java.lang.Object) and avoid the cost of serialization and network transfer.
    Warning 1:

void removeAll(@Nonnull
               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 caller's Near Cache.

```
void delete(@Nonnull
            Object key)
```
    Removes the mapping for the key from this map if it is present.
    Unlike remove(Object), this operation does not return the removed value, which avoids the serialization and network transfer cost of the returned value. If the removed value will not be used, this operation is preferred over the 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.
    Interactions with the map store
    If write-through persistence mode is configured, before the value is removed from the the memory, MapStore.delete(Object) is called to remove the value from the map store. Exceptions thrown by delete fail the operation and are propagated to the caller.
    If write-behind persistence mode is configured with write-coalescing turned off, ReachedMaxSizeException may be thrown if the write-behind queue has reached its per-node maximum capacity.
    
    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
    
    See Also:
    
    remove(Object)
  - flush
```
void flush()
```
    If this map has a MapStore, this method flushes all the local dirty entries.
    Interactions with the map store
    Calls MapStore.storeAll(Map) and/or MapStore.deleteAll(Collection) with elements marked dirty.
    Please note that this method has effect only if write-behind persistence mode is configured. If the persistence mode is write-through calling this method has no practical effect, but an operation is executed on all partitions wasting resources.
  - getAll
```
Map<K,V> getAll(@Nullable
                Set<K> keys)
```
    Returns an immutable map of entries for the given keys.
    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.
    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.
    Interactions with the map store
    If any keys are not found in memory, MapLoader.loadAll(java.util.Collection<K>) is called with the missing keys. Exceptions thrown by loadAll fail the operation and are propagated to the caller.
    
    Parameters:
    
    keys - keys to get (keys inside the collection cannot be null)
    
    Returns:
    
    an immutable map of entries
    
    Throws:
    
    NullPointerException - if any of the specified keys are null or if any key or any value returned from MapLoader.loadAll(java.util.Collection<K>) is null.
  - loadAll
```
void loadAll(boolean replaceExistingValues)
```
    Loads all keys into the store. This is a batch load operation so that an implementation can optimize multiple loads.
    Interactions with the map store
    Calls MapLoader.loadAllKeys() and with the loaded keys calls MapLoader.loadAll(java.util.Collection) on each partition. Exceptions thrown by loadAllKeys() or loadAll() are not propagated to the caller.
    
    Parameters:
    
    replaceExistingValues - when true, existing values in the Map will be replaced by those loaded from the MapLoader
    
    Since:
    
    3.3
  - loadAll
```
void loadAll(@Nonnull
             Set<K> keys,
             boolean replaceExistingValues)
```
    Loads the given keys. This is a batch load operation so that an implementation can optimize multiple loads.
    Interactions with the map store
    Calls MapLoader.loadAll(java.util.Collection) on the partitions storing the values with the keys. Exceptions thrown by loadAll() are not propagated to the caller.
    
    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:

  - clear
```
void clear()
```
    Clears the map and deletes the items from the backing map store.
    The MAP_CLEARED event is fired for any registered listeners. See MapClearedListener.mapCleared(MapEvent).
    To clear the map without removing the items from the map store, use evictAll().
    Interactions with the map store
    Calls MapStore.deleteAll(Collection) on each partition with the keys that the given partition stores. Exceptions thrown by deleteAll() are not propagated to the caller.

CompletionStage<V> getAsync(@Nonnull
                            K key)
```
    Asynchronously gets the given key. CompletionStage can be converted to a CompletableFuture to obtain the value in a blocking way:
```
   CompletionStage future = map.getAsync(key);
   // do some other stuff, when ready get the result.
   Object value = future.toCompletableFuture().get();
 
```
    Additionally, the client can register further computation stages to be invoked upon completion of the CompletionStage via any of CompletionStage methods:

    Interactions with the map store
    If value with key is not found in memory MapLoader.load(Object) is invoked to load the value from the map store backing the map. Exceptions thrown by load fail the operation and are propagated to the caller.
    Parameters:
    
    key - the key of the map entry

```
    Asynchronously puts the given key and value into this map with a given TTL (time to live) value.
    The entry will expire and get evicted after the TTL. If the TTL is 0, then the entry lives forever. If the TTL is negative, then the TTL from the map configuration will be used (default: forever).

    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:
    Time resolution for TTL is seconds. The given TTL value is rounded to the next closest second value.
    Interactions with the map store
    If write-through persistence mode is configured, before the value is stored in memory, MapStore.store(Object, Object) is called to write the value into the map store. Exceptions thrown by the store fail the operation and are propagated to the caller.
    If write-behind persistence mode is configured with write-coalescing turned off, ReachedMaxSizeException may be thrown if the write-behind queue has reached its per-node maximum capacity.
    Parameters:
    
    key - the key of the map entry
    
    value - the new value of the map entry
    
    ttl - maximum time for this entry to stay in the map (0 means infinite, negative means map config default)
    
    ttlUnit - time unit for the TTL
    
    maxIdle - maximum time for this entry to stay idle in the map. (0 means infinite, negative means map config default)
    
    maxIdleUnit - time unit for the Max-Idle
    
    Returns:
    
    CompletionStage on which client code can block waiting for the operation to complete or register callbacks to be invoked upon set operation completion

    Asynchronously removes the given key, returning an CompletionStage on which the caller can register further computation stages to be invoked upon remove operation completion or block waiting for the operation to complete using one of blocking ways to wait on CompletionStage.toCompletableFuture().
    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.
    Interactions with the map store
    If write-through persistence mode is configured, before the value is removed from the the memory, MapStore.delete(Object) is called to remove the value from the map store. Exceptions thrown by delete fail the operation and are propagated to the caller.
    If write-behind persistence mode is configured with write-coalescing turned off, ReachedMaxSizeException may be thrown if the write-behind queue has reached its per-node maximum capacity.
    
    Parameters:

    Puts an entry into this map with a given TTL (time to live) value.
    The entry will expire and get evicted after the TTL. If the TTL is 0, then the entry lives forever. If the TTL is negative, then the TTL from the map configuration will be used (default: forever).

    This method may return false even if the operation succeeds.
    Background: If the partition owner for given key goes down after successful value replace, but before the executing node retrieved the invocation result response, then the operation is retried. The invocation retry fails because the value is already updated and the result of such replace call returns false. Hazelcast doesn't guarantee exactly once invocation.

         V value,
         long ttl,
         @Nonnull
         TimeUnit ttlUnit)
```
    Puts an entry into this map with a given TTL (time to live) value, without returning the old value (which is more efficient than put()).
    The entry will expire and get evicted after the TTL. If the TTL is 0, then the entry lives forever. If the TTL is negative, then the TTL from the map configuration will be used (default: forever).
    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:
    Time resolution for TTL is seconds. The given TTL value is rounded to the next closest second value.
    Interactions with the map store
    If write-through persistence mode is configured, before the value is stored in memory, MapStore.store(Object, Object) is called to write the value into the map store. Exceptions thrown by the store fail the operation and are propagated to the caller.
    If write-behind persistence mode is configured with write-coalescing turned off, ReachedMaxSizeException may be thrown if the write-behind queue has reached its per-node maximum capacity.
    
    Parameters:
    
    key - key of the entry
    
    value - value of the entry
    
    ttl - maximum time for this entry to stay in the map (0 means infinite, negative means map config default)
    
    ttlUnit - time unit for the TTL
    
    Throws:
    
    NullPointerException - if the specified key or value is null

         TimeUnit maxIdleUnit)
```
    Puts an entry into this map with a given TTL (time to live) value and max idle time value without returning the old value (which is more efficient than put()).
    The entry will expire and get evicted after the TTL. If the TTL is 0, then the entry lives forever. If the TTL is negative, then the TTL from the map configuration will be used (default: forever).
    The entry will expire and get evicted after the Max Idle time. If the MaxIdle is 0, then the entry lives forever. If the MaxIdle is negative, then the MaxIdle from the map configuration will be used (default: forever). The time precision is limited by 1 second. The MaxIdle that less than 1 second can lead to unexpected behaviour.
    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:
    Time resolution for TTL is seconds. The given TTL value is rounded to the next closest second value.

  - lock
```
void lock(@Nonnull
          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.

  - addLocalEntryListener
```
UUID addLocalEntryListener(@Nonnull
                           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

  - addPartitionLostListener
```
UUID addPartitionLostListener(@Nonnull
                              MapPartitionLostListener listener)
```
    Adds a MapPartitionLostListener.
    The method returns a register ID. This ID is needed to remove the MapPartitionLostListener using the removePartitionLostListener(UUID) method.
    There is no check for duplicate registrations, so if you register the listener twice, you will receive events twice.
    Warning 1:
    Please see PartitionLostListener for weaknesses.
    Warning 2:
    Listeners registered from HazelcastClient may miss some of the map partition lost events due to design limitations.
    
    Parameters:
    
    listener - the added MapPartitionLostListener
    
    Returns:
    
    returns the registration ID for the MapPartitionLostListener

    Warning 1:
    This method returns a clone of original mapping, modifying the returned value does not change the actual value in the map. One should put modified value back to make changes visible to all nodes.
    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.
    
    Parameters:

  - addIndex
```
default void addIndex(IndexType type,
                      String... attributes)
```
    Convenient method to add an index to this map with the given type and attributes. Attributes are indexed in ascending order.
    
    Parameters:
    
    type - Index type.
    
    attributes - Attributes to be indexed.
    
    See Also:
    
    addIndex(IndexConfig)
  - addIndex
```
void addIndex(IndexConfig indexConfig)
```
    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 may consider indexing these fields.
```
   IMap imap = Hazelcast.getMap("employees");
   imap.addIndex(new IndexConfig(IndexType.SORTED, "age"));  // Sorted index for range queries
   imap.addIndex(new IndexConfig(IndexType.HASH, "active")); // Hash index for equality predicates
 
```
    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:
    
    indexConfig - Index configuration.
  - 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.
    It's guaranteed that the returned LocalMapStats instance contains an up-to-date statistics. But over the time some parts of the returned instance may become stale while others may be updated. To obtain a fresh up-to-date instance invoke the method one more time.
    
    Returns:
    
    this map's local statistics
  - executeOnKey
```
<R> R executeOnKey(@Nonnull
                   K key,
                   @Nonnull
                   EntryProcessor<K,V,R> entryProcessor)
```
    Applies the user defined EntryProcessor to the entry mapped by the key. Returns the object which is the result of the EntryProcessor#process(Entry) method.
    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 of 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)
    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 entry backup processor with some input provided by the EntryProcessor in the EntryProcessor.getBackupProcessor() method. The input allows providing context to the entry backup processor, for example the "delta", so that the entry backup processor does not have to calculate the "delta" but it may just apply it.
    See submitToKey(Object, EntryProcessor) for an async version of this method.
    Interactions with the map store
    If value with key is not found in memory, MapLoader.load(Object) is invoked to load the value from the map store backing the map.
    If the entryProcessor updates the entry and write-through persistence mode is configured, before the value is stored in memory, MapStore.store(Object, Object) is called to write the value into the map store.
    If the entryProcessor updates the entry's value to null value and write-through persistence mode is configured, before the value is removed from the memory, MapStore.delete(Object) is called to delete the value from the map store.
    Any exceptions thrown by the map store fail the operation and are propagated to the caller.
    If write-behind persistence mode is configured with write-coalescing turned off, ReachedMaxSizeException may be thrown if the write-behind queue has reached its per-node maximum capacity.
    Type Parameters:
    
    R - the entry processor return type
    
    Returns:
    
    result of EntryProcessor#process(Entry)
    
    Throws:

                           EntryProcessor<K,V,R> entryProcessor)
```
    Applies the user defined EntryProcessor to the entries mapped by the collection of keys.
    The operation is not lock-aware. The EntryProcessor will process the entries no matter if the keys are locked or not. For more details check Entry Processing section on IMap documentation.
    Interactions with the map store
    For each entry not found in memory MapLoader.load(Object) is invoked to load the value from the map store backing the map.
    If write-through persistence mode is configured, for each entry updated by the entryProcessor, before the updated value is stored in memory, MapStore.store(Object, Object) is called to write the value into the map store.
    If write-through persistence mode is configured, for each entry updated to null value, before the value is removed from the memory, MapStore.delete(Object) is called to delete the value from the map store.
    Any exceptions thrown by the map store fail the operation and are propagated to the caller. If an exception happened, the operation might already succeeded on some of the keys.
    If write-behind persistence mode is configured with write-coalescing turned off, ReachedMaxSizeException may be thrown if the write-behind queue has reached its per-node maximum capacity.
    Performance note
    Keep the state of entryProcessor small, it will be serialized and one copy will be sent to each member. Additionally, the backup processor will also be serialized once for each affected partition and sent to each backup. For example, in this usage the entire additions map will be duplicated once for each member and once for each partition and backup:
```
   HashMap additions = ...;
   iMap.executeOnKeys(map.keySet(), entry -> {
             Integer updateBy = additions.get(entry.getKey());
             entry.setValue(entry.getValue() + updateBy);
             return null;
         });
 
```
    Type Parameters:
    
    R - the entry processor return type
    
    Parameters:
    
    keys - The keys to execute the entry processor on. Can be empty, in that case it's a local no-op
    
    Returns:
    
    results of EntryProcessor#process(Entry)
    
    Throws:
    
    NullPointerException - if there's null element in keys

```
    Applies the user defined EntryProcessor to the entry mapped by the key. Returns immediately with a CompletionStage representing that task.
    EntryProcessor is not cancellable, so calling CompletionStage.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.

QueryCache<K,V> getQueryCache(@Nonnull
                              String name)
```
    Returns corresponding QueryCache instance for the supplied name or null.
    If there is a previously created QueryCache with the supplied name or if a declarative configuration exists for the supplied name this method returns or creates the instance respectively, otherwise returns null.
    
    Parameters:
    
    name - the name of QueryCache
    
    Returns:
    
    the QueryCache instance or null if there is no corresponding QueryCacheConfig
    
    Throws:
    
    NullPointerException - if the specified name is null

                              boolean includeValue)
```
    Creates an always up to date snapshot of this IMap according to the supplied parameters.
    If there is a previously created QueryCache with the supplied name, this method returns that QueryCache and ignores predicate and includeValue parameters. Otherwise it creates and returns a new QueryCache instance.
    Also note that if there exists a QueryCacheConfig for the supplied name, predicate and includeValue parameters will overwrite corresponding ones in QueryCacheConfig.
    
    Parameters:
    
    name - the name of QueryCache
    
    predicate - the predicate for filtering entries
    
    includeValue - true if this QueryCache is allowed to cache values of entries, otherwise false
    
    Returns:
    
    the QueryCache instance with the supplied name
    
    Throws:
    
    NullPointerException - if the specified name or predicate is null

```
    Creates an always up to date snapshot of this IMap according to the supplied parameters.
    If there is a previously created QueryCache with the supplied name, this method returns that QueryCache and ignores listener, predicate and includeValue parameters. Otherwise it creates and returns a new QueryCache instance.
    Also note that if there exists a QueryCacheConfig for the supplied name, listener,predicate and includeValue parameters will overwrite corresponding ones in QueryCacheConfig.
    
    Parameters:
    
    name - the name of QueryCache
    
    listener - the MapListener which will be used to listen this QueryCache
    
    predicate - the predicate for filtering entries
    
    includeValue - true if this QueryCache is allowed to cache values of entries, otherwise false
    
    Returns:
    
    the QueryCache instance with the supplied name
    
    Throws:

  - setTtl
```
boolean setTtl(@Nonnull
               K key,
               long ttl,
               @Nonnull
               TimeUnit timeunit)
```
    Updates the TTL (time to live) value of the entry specified by key with a new TTL value. New TTL value is valid starting from the time this operation is invoked, not since the time the entry was created. If the entry does not exist or is already expired, this call has no effect.
    The entry will expire and get evicted after the TTL. If the TTL is 0, then the entry lives forever. If the TTL is negative, then the TTL from the map configuration will be used (default: forever).
    If there is no entry with key key or is already expired, this call makes no changes to entries stored in this map. Warning:
    Time resolution for TTL is seconds. The given TTL value is rounded to the next closest second value.
    
    Parameters:
    
    key - the key of the map entry
    
    ttl - maximum time for this entry to stay in the map (0 means infinite, negative means map config default)
    
    timeunit - time unit for the TTL
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the entry exists and its ttl value is changed, false otherwise
    
    Throws:
    
    NullPointerException - if the specified key or timeunit is null.
