/**
* A collection that maps keys to values, similar to {@link Map}, but in which each key may be
* associated with multiple values. You can visualize the contents of a multimap either as a
* map from keys to nonempty collections of values:
*
*
* - a → 1, 2
*
- b → 3
*
*
* ... or as a single "flattened" collection of key-value pairs:
*
*
* - a → 1
*
- a → 2
*
- b → 3
*
*
* Important: although the first interpretation resembles how most multimaps are
* implemented, the design of the {@code Multimap} API is based on the second form.
* So, using the multimap shown above as an example, the {@link #size} is {@code 3}, not {@code 2},
* and the {@link #values} collection is {@code [1, 2, 3]}, not {@code [[1, 2], [3]]}. For those
* times when the first style is more useful, use the multimap's {@link #asMap} view (or create a
* {@code Map>} in the first place).
*
* Example
*
* The following code:
*
*
{@code
* ListMultimap multimap = ArrayListMultimap.create();
* for (President pres : US_PRESIDENTS_IN_ORDER) {
* multimap.put(pres.firstName(), pres.lastName());
* }
* for (String firstName : multimap.keySet()) {
* List lastNames = multimap.get(firstName);
* out.println(firstName + ": " + lastNames);
* }
* }
*
* ... produces output such as:
*
* {@code
* Zachary: [Taylor]
* John: [Adams, Adams, Tyler, Kennedy] // Remember, Quincy!
* George: [Washington, Bush, Bush]
* Grover: [Cleveland, Cleveland] // Two, non-consecutive terms, rep'ing NJ!
* ...
* }
*
* Views
*
* Much of the power of the multimap API comes from the view collections it provides.
* These always reflect the latest state of the multimap itself. When they support modification, the
* changes are write-through (they automatically update the backing multimap). These view
* collections are:
*
*
* - {@link #asMap}, mentioned above
*
- {@link #keys}, {@link #keySet}, {@link #values}, {@link #entries}, which are similar to the
* corresponding view collections of {@link Map}
*
- and, notably, even the collection returned by {@link #get get(key)} is an active view of
* the values corresponding to {@code key}
*
*
* The collections returned by the {@link #replaceValues replaceValues} and {@link #removeAll
* removeAll} methods, which contain values that have just been removed from the multimap, are
* naturally not views.
*
*
Subinterfaces
*
* Instead of using the {@code Multimap} interface directly, prefer the subinterfaces {@link
* ListMultimap} and {@link SetMultimap}. These take their names from the fact that the collections
* they return from {@code get} behave like (and, of course, implement) {@link List} and {@link
* Set}, respectively.
*
*
For example, the "presidents" code snippet above used a {@code ListMultimap}; if it had used a
* {@code SetMultimap} instead, two presidents would have vanished, and last names might or might
* not appear in chronological order.
*
*
Warning: instances of type {@code Multimap} may not implement {@link Object#equals} in
* the way you expect. Multimaps containing the same key-value pairs, even in the same order, may or
* may not be equal and may or may not have the same {@code hashCode}. The recommended subinterfaces
* provide much stronger guarantees.
*
*
Comparison to a map of collections
*
* Multimaps are commonly used in places where a {@code Map>} would otherwise
* have appeared. The differences include:
*
*
* - There is no need to populate an empty collection before adding an entry with {@link #put
* put}.
*
- {@code get} never returns {@code null}, only an empty collection.
*
- A key is contained in the multimap if and only if it maps to at least one value. Any
* operation that causes a key to have zero associated values has the effect of
* removing that key from the multimap.
*
- The total entry count is available as {@link #size}.
*
- Many complex operations become easier; for example, {@code
* Collections.min(multimap.values())} finds the smallest value across all keys.
*
*
* Implementations
*
* As always, prefer the immutable implementations, {@link ImmutableListMultimap} and {@link
* ImmutableSetMultimap}. General-purpose mutable implementations are listed above under "All Known
* Implementing Classes". You can also create a custom multimap, backed by any {@code Map}
* and {@link Collection} types, using the {@link Multimaps#newMultimap Multimaps.newMultimap}
* family of methods. Finally, another popular way to obtain a multimap is using {@link
* Multimaps#index Multimaps.index}. See the {@link Multimaps} class for these and other static
* utilities related to multimaps.
*
*
Other Notes
*
* As with {@code Map}, the behavior of a {@code Multimap} is not specified if key objects
* already present in the multimap change in a manner that affects {@code equals} comparisons. Use
* caution if mutable objects are used as keys in a {@code Multimap}.
*
*
All methods that modify the multimap are optional. The view collections returned by the
* multimap may or may not be modifiable. Any modification method that is not supported will throw
* {@link UnsupportedOperationException}.
*
*
See the Guava User Guide article on {@code
* Multimap}.
