CopyOnWriteArrayList介绍

它相当于线程安全的ArrayList。和ArrayList一样,它是个可变数组;但是和ArrayList不同的时,它具有以下特性:
1. 它最适合于具有以下特征的应用程序:List 大小通常保持很小,只读操作远多于可变操作,需要在遍历期间防止线程间的冲突。
2. 它是线程安全的。
3. 因为通常需要复制整个基础数组,所以可变操作(add()、set() 和 remove() 等等)的开销很大。
4. 迭代器支持hasNext(), next()等不可变操作,但不支持可变 remove()等操作。
5. 使用迭代器进行遍历的速度很快,并且不会与其他线程发生冲突。在构造迭代器时,迭代器依赖于不变的数组快照。

建议:在学习CopyOnWriteArraySet之前,先通过"Java 集合系列03之 ArrayList详细介绍(源码解析)和使用示例"对ArrayList进行了解!

 

CopyOnWriteArrayList原理和数据结构

CopyOnWriteArrayList的数据结构,如下图所示:

说明
1. CopyOnWriteArrayList实现了List接口,因此它是一个队列。
2. CopyOnWriteArrayList包含了成员lock。每一个CopyOnWriteArrayList都和一个互斥锁lock绑定,通过lock,实现了对CopyOnWriteArrayList的互斥访问。
3. CopyOnWriteArrayList包含了成员array数组,这说明CopyOnWriteArrayList本质上通过数组实现的。

下面从“动态数组”和“线程安全”两个方面进一步对CopyOnWriteArrayList的原理进行说明。
1. CopyOnWriteArrayList的“动态数组”机制 -- 它内部有个“volatile数组”(array)来保持数据。在“添加/修改/删除”数据时,都会新建一个数组,并将更新后的数据拷贝到新建的数组中,最后再将该数组赋值给“volatile数组”。这就是它叫做CopyOnWriteArrayList的原因!CopyOnWriteArrayList就是通过这种方式实现的动态数组;不过正由于它在“添加/修改/删除”数据时,都会新建数组,所以涉及到修改数据的操作,CopyOnWriteArrayList效率很
低;但是单单只是进行遍历查找的话,效率比较高。
2. CopyOnWriteArrayList的“线程安全”机制 -- 是通过volatile和互斥锁来实现的。(01) CopyOnWriteArrayList是通过“volatile数组”来保存数据的。一个线程读取volatile数组时,总能看到其它线程对该volatile变量最后的写入;就这样,通过volatile提供了“读取到的数据总是最新的”这个机制的
保证。(02) CopyOnWriteArrayList通过互斥锁来保护数据。在“添加/修改/删除”数据时,会先“获取互斥锁”,再修改完毕之后,先将数据更新到“volatile数组”中,然后再“释放互斥锁”;这样,就达到了保护数据的目的。

    }
}

  

下面我们从“创建添加删除获取遍历”这5个方面去分析CopyOnWriteArrayList的原理。

1. 创建

CopyOnWriteArrayList共3个构造函数。它们的源码如下:

public CopyOnWriteArrayList() {
    setArray(new Object[0]);
}

public CopyOnWriteArrayList(Collection<? extends E> c) {
    Object[] elements = c.toArray();
    if (elements.getClass() != Object[].class)
        elements = Arrays.copyOf(elements, elements.length, Object[].class);
    setArray(elements);
}

public CopyOnWriteArrayList(E[] toCopyIn) {
    setArray(Arrays.copyOf(toCopyIn, toCopyIn.length, Object[].class));
}

说明:这3个构造函数都调用了setArray(),setArray()的源码如下:

private volatile transient Object[] array;

final Object[] getArray() {
    return array;
}

final void setArray(Object[] a) {
    array = a;
}

说明:setArray()的作用是给array赋值;其中,array是volatile transient Object[]类型,即array是“volatile数组”。
关于volatile关键字,我们知道“volatile能让变量变得可见”,即对一个volatile变量的读,总是能看到(任意线程)对这个volatile变量最后的写入。正在由于这种特性,每次更新了“volatile数组”之后,其它线程都能看到对它所做的更新。
关于transient关键字,它是在序列化中才起作用,transient变量不会被自动序列化。transient不是本文关注的重点,了解即可。
关于transient的更多内容,请参考:http://www.cnblogs.com/skywang12345/p/io_06.html

 

2. 添加

以add(E e)为例,来对“CopyOnWriteArrayList的添加操作”进行说明。下面是add(E e)的代码:

public boolean add(E e) {
    final ReentrantLock lock = this.lock;
    // 获取“锁”
    lock.lock();
    try {
        // 获取原始”volatile数组“中的数据和数据长度。
        Object[] elements = getArray();
        int len = elements.length;
        // 新建一个数组newElements,并将原始数据拷贝到newElements中;
        // newElements数组的长度=“原始数组的长度”+1
        Object[] newElements = Arrays.copyOf(elements, len + 1);
        // 将“新增加的元素”保存到newElements中。
        newElements[len] = e;
        // 将newElements赋值给”volatile数组“。
        setArray(newElements);
        return true;
    } finally {
        // 释放“锁”
        lock.unlock();
    }
}

说明:add(E e)的作用就是将数据e添加到”volatile数组“中。它的实现方式是,新建一个数组,接着将原始的”volatile数组“的数据拷贝到新数组中,然后将新增数据也添加到新数组中;最后,将新数组赋值给”volatile数组“。
在add(E e)中有两点需要关注。
        第一,在”添加操作“开始前,获取独占锁(lock),若此时有需要线程要获取锁,则必须等待;在操作完毕后,释放独占锁(lock),此时其它线程才能获取锁。通过独占锁,来防止多线程同时修改数据!lock的定义如下:

transient final ReentrantLock lock = new ReentrantLock();

关于ReentrantLock的更多内容,可以参考:Java多线程系列--“JUC锁”02之 互斥锁ReentrantLock
        第二,操作完毕时,会通过setArray()来更新”volatile数组“。而且,前面我们提过”即对一个volatile变量的读,总是能看到(任意线程)对这个volatile变量最后的写入“;这样,每次添加元素之后,其它线程都能看到新添加的元素。

 

3. 获取

以get(int index)为例,来对“CopyOnWriteArrayList的删除操作”进行说明。下面是get(int index)的代码:

public E get(int index) {
    return get(getArray(), index);
}

private E get(Object[] a, int index) {
    return (E) a[index];
}

说明:get(int index)的实现很简单,就是返回”volatile数组“中的第index个元素。

 

4. 删除

以remove(int index)为例,来对“CopyOnWriteArrayList的删除操作”进行说明。下面是remove(int index)的代码:

复制代码
public E remove(int index) {
    final ReentrantLock lock = this.lock;
    // 获取“锁”
    lock.lock();
    try {
        // 获取原始”volatile数组“中的数据和数据长度。
        Object[] elements = getArray();
        int len = elements.length;
        // 获取elements数组中的第index个数据。
        E oldValue = get(elements, index);
        int numMoved = len - index - 1;
        // 如果被删除的是最后一个元素,则直接通过Arrays.copyOf()进行处理,而不需要新建数组。
        // 否则,新建数组,然后将”volatile数组中被删除元素之外的其它元素“拷贝到新数组中;最后,将新数组赋值给”volatile数组“。
        if (numMoved == 0)
            setArray(Arrays.copyOf(elements, len - 1));
        else {
            Object[] newElements = new Object[len - 1];
            System.arraycopy(elements, 0, newElements, 0, index);
            System.arraycopy(elements, index + 1, newElements, index,
                             numMoved);
            setArray(newElements);
        }
        return oldValue;
    } finally {
        // 释放“锁”
        lock.unlock();
    }
}
复制代码

说明:remove(int index)的作用就是将”volatile数组“中第index个元素删除。它的实现方式是,如果被删除的是最后一个元素,则直接通过Arrays.copyOf()进行处理,而不需要新建数组。否则,新建数组,然后将”volatile数组中被删除元素之外的其它元素“拷贝到新数组中;最后,将新数组赋值给”volatile数组“。
         和add(E e)一样,remove(int index)也是”在操作之前,获取独占锁;操作完成之后,释放独占是“;并且”在操作完成时,会通过将数据更新到volatile数组中“。

 

5. 遍历

以iterator()为例,来对“CopyOnWriteArrayList的遍历操作”进行说明。下面是iterator()的代码:

public Iterator<E> iterator() {
    return new COWIterator<E>(getArray(), 0);
}

说明:iterator()会返回COWIterator对象。

COWIterator实现额ListIterator接口,它的源码如下:

private static class COWIterator<E> implements ListIterator<E> {
    private final Object[] snapshot;
    private int cursor;

    private COWIterator(Object[] elements, int initialCursor) {
        cursor = initialCursor;
        snapshot = elements;
    }

    public boolean hasNext() {
        return cursor < snapshot.length;
    }

    public boolean hasPrevious() {
        return cursor > 0;
    }

    // 获取下一个元素
    @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
    public E next() {
        if (! hasNext())
            throw new NoSuchElementException();
        return (E) snapshot[cursor++];
    }

    // 获取上一个元素
    @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
    public E previous() {
        if (! hasPrevious())
            throw new NoSuchElementException();
        return (E) snapshot[--cursor];
    }

    public int nextIndex() {
        return cursor;
    }

    public int previousIndex() {
        return cursor-1;
    }

    public void remove() {
        throw new UnsupportedOperationException();
    }

    public void set(E e) {
        throw new UnsupportedOperationException();
    }

    public void add(E e) {
        throw new UnsupportedOperationException();
    }
}

说明:COWIterator不支持修改元素的操作。例如,对于remove(),set(),add()等操作,COWIterator都会抛出异常!
另外,需要提到的一点是,CopyOnWriteArrayList返回迭代器不会抛出ConcurrentModificationException异常,即它不是fail-fast机制的!
关于fail-fast机制,可以参考“Java 集合系列04之 fail-fast总结(通过ArrayList来说明fail-fast的原理、解决办法)”。

 

CopyOnWriteArrayList示例

下面,我们通过一个例子去对比ArrayList和CopyOnWriteArrayList。

 1 import java.util.*;
 2 import java.util.concurrent.*;
 3 
 4 /*
 5  *   CopyOnWriteArrayList是“线程安全”的动态数组,而ArrayList是非线程安全的。
 6  *
 7  *   下面是“多个线程同时操作并且遍历list”的示例
 8  *   (01) 当list是CopyOnWriteArrayList对象时,程序能正常运行。
 9  *   (02) 当list是ArrayList对象时,程序会产生ConcurrentModificationException异常。

15     // TODO: list是ArrayList对象时,程序会出错。
16     //private static List<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();
17     private static List<String> list = new CopyOnWriteArrayList<String>();
18     public static void main(String[] args) {
19     
20         // 同时启动两个线程对list进行操作!

25     private static void printAll() {
26         String value = null;
27         Iterator iter = list.iterator();
28         while(iter.hasNext()) {
29             value = (String)iter.next();
30             System.out.print(value+", ");
31         }
32         System.out.println();
33     }
34 
35     private static class MyThread extends Thread {
36         MyThread(String name) {
37             super(name);
38         }
39         @Override
40         public void run() {
41                 int i = 0;
42             while (i++ < 6) {
43                 // “线程名” + "-" + "序号"
44                 String val = Thread.currentThread().getName()+"-"+i;
45                 list.add(val);
46                 // 通过“Iterator”遍历List。
47                 printAll();
48             }
49         }
50     }
51 }

(某一次)运行结果

ta-1, tb-1, ta-1, 
tb-1, 
ta-1, ta-1, tb-1, tb-1, tb-2, 
tb-2, ta-1, ta-2, 
tb-1, ta-1, tb-2, tb-1, ta-2, tb-2, tb-3, 
ta-2, ta-1, tb-3, tb-1, ta-3, 
tb-2, ta-1, ta-2, tb-1, tb-3, tb-2, ta-3, ta-2, tb-4, 
tb-3, ta-1, ta-3, tb-1, tb-4, tb-2, ta-4, 
ta-2, ta-1, tb-3, tb-1, ta-3, tb-2, tb-4, ta-2, ta-4, tb-3, tb-5, 
ta-3, ta-1, tb-4, tb-1, ta-4, tb-2, tb-5, ta-2, ta-5, 
tb-3, ta-1, ta-3, tb-1, tb-4, tb-2, ta-4, ta-2, tb-5, tb-3, ta-5, ta-3, tb-6, 
tb-4, ta-4, tb-5, ta-5, tb-6, ta-6,

结果说明:如果将源码中的list改成ArrayList对象时,程序会产生ConcurrentModificationException异常。
