11 * A {@link java.util.Set} that uses an internal {@link CopyOnWriteArrayList}
12 * for all of its operations. Thus, it shares the same basic properties:
13 * <ul>
14 * <li>It is best suited for applications in which set sizes generally
15 * stay small, read-only operations
16 * vastly outnumber mutative operations, and you need
17 * to prevent interference among threads during traversal.
18 * <li>It is thread-safe.
19 * <li>Mutative operations (<tt>add</tt>, <tt>set</tt>, <tt>remove</tt>, etc.)
20 * are expensive since they usually entail copying the entire underlying
21 * array.
22 * <li>Iterators do not support the mutative <tt>remove</tt> operation.
23 * <li>Traversal via iterators is fast and cannot encounter
24 * interference from other threads. Iterators rely on
25 * unchanging snapshots of the array at the time the iterators were
26 * constructed.
27 * </ul>
28 *
29 * <p> <b>Sample Usage.</b> The following code sketch uses a
30 * copy-on-write set to maintain a set of Handler objects that
31 * perform some action upon state updates.
32 *
33 * <pre> {@code
34 * class Handler { void handle(); ... }
35 *
36 * class X {
37 * private final CopyOnWriteArraySet<Handler> handlers
38 * = new CopyOnWriteArraySet<Handler>();
39 * public void addHandler(Handler h) { handlers.add(h); }
40 *
41 * private long internalState;
42 * private synchronized void changeState() { internalState = ...; }
43 *
44 * public void update() {
45 * changeState();
46 * for (Handler handler : handlers)
47 * handler.handle();
48 * }
49 * }}</pre>
50 *
51 * <p>This class is a member of the
52 * <a href="{@docRoot}/../technotes/guides/collections/index.html">
53 * Java Collections Framework</a>.
