Interface ObjectBigList<K>

All Superinterfaces:
BigList<K>, Collection<K>, Comparable<BigList<? extends K>>, Iterable<K>, ObjectCollection<K>, ObjectIterable<K>, Size64
All Known Implementing Classes:
AbstractObjectBigList, AbstractObjectBigList.ObjectRandomAccessSubList, AbstractObjectBigList.ObjectSubList, ByteArrayFrontCodedBigList, CharArrayFrontCodedBigList, IntArrayFrontCodedBigList, LongArrayFrontCodedBigList, ObjectBigArrayBigList, ObjectBigLists.EmptyBigList, ObjectBigLists.ListBigList, ObjectBigLists.Singleton, ObjectBigLists.SynchronizedBigList, ObjectBigLists.UnmodifiableBigList, ShortArrayFrontCodedBigList
public interface ObjectBigList<K> extends BigList<K>, ObjectCollection<K>, Comparable<BigList<? extends K>>
A type-specific BigList; provides some additional methods that use polymorphism to avoid (un)boxing.

Additionally, this interface strengthens iterator(), listIterator(), listIterator(long) and subList(long,long).

Besides polymorphic methods, this interfaces specifies methods to copy into an array or remove contiguous sublists. Although the abstract implementation of this interface provides simple, one-by-one implementations of these methods, it is expected that concrete implementation override them with optimized versions.

    • spliterator

      default ObjectSpliterator<K> spliterator()
      Returns a type-specific spliterator on the elements of this big-list.

      BigList spliterators must report at least Spliterator.SIZED and Spliterator.ORDERED.

      See List.spliterator() for more documentation on the requirements of the returned spliterator (despite BigList not being a List, most of the same requirements apply.

      Specified by:
      spliterator in interface Collection<K>
      Specified by:
      spliterator in interface Iterable<K>
      Specified by:
      spliterator in interface ObjectCollection<K>
      Specified by:
      spliterator in interface ObjectIterable<K>
      Returns:
      a type-specific spliterator on the elements of this collection.
      Since:
      8.5.0
      API Notes:
      This is generally the only spliterator method subclasses should override.
      Implementation Specification:
      The default implementation returns a late-binding spliterator (see Spliterator for documentation on what binding policies mean).
      • For RandomAccess lists, this will return a spliterator that calls the type-specific BigList.get(long) method on the appropriate indexes.
      • Otherwise, the spliterator returned will wrap this instance's type specific iterator().

      In either case, the spliterator reports Spliterator.SIZED, Spliterator.SUBSIZED, and Spliterator.ORDERED.

      Implementation Notes:
      As the non-RandomAccess case is based on the iterator, and Iterator is an inherently linear API, the returned spliterator will yield limited performance gains when run in parallel contexts, as the returned spliterator's trySplit() will have linear runtime.

      For RandomAccess lists, the parallel performance should be reasonable assuming BigList.get(long) is truly constant time like RandomAccess suggests.

    • subList

      ObjectBigList<K> subList(long from, long to)
      Returns a type-specific view of the portion of this type-specific big list from the index from, inclusive, to the index to, exclusive.
      Specified by:
      subList in interface BigList<K>
      Parameters:
      from - the starting element (inclusive).
      to - the ending element (exclusive).
      Returns:
      a big sublist view of this big list.
      See Also:
      API Notes:
      This specification strengthens the one given in BigList.subList(long,long).

   iter.next();
   iter.set(BigArrays.get(a, offset + i++);
 }

      index - the index at which to start setting elements.
      a - the big array containing the elements.
      offset - the offset of the first element to add.
