/**
 * A {@code SetMultimap} whose set of values for a given key are kept sorted; that is, they comprise
 * a {@link SortedSet}. It cannot hold duplicate key-value pairs; adding a key-value pair that's
 * already in the multimap has no effect. This interface does not specify the ordering of the
 * multimap's keys. See the {@link Multimap} documentation for information common to all multimaps.
 *
 * 

The {@link #get}, {@link #removeAll}, and {@link #replaceValues} methods each return a {@link * SortedSet} of values, while {@link Multimap#entries()} returns a {@link Set} of map entries. * Though the method signature doesn't say so explicitly, the map returned by {@link #asMap} has * {@code SortedSet} values. * *

See the Guava User Guide article on {@code * Multimap}. * * @author Jared Levy * @since 2.0 */ @GwtCompatible public interface SortedSetMultimap extends SetMultimap { // Following Javadoc copied from Multimap. /** * Returns a collection view of all values associated with a key. If no mappings in the multimap * have the provided key, an empty collection is returned. * *

Changes to the returned collection will update the underlying multimap, and vice versa. * *

Because a {@code SortedSetMultimap} has unique sorted values for a given key, this method * returns a {@link SortedSet}, instead of the {@link java.util.Collection} specified in the * {@link Multimap} interface. */ @Override SortedSet get(@NullableDecl K key); /** * Removes all values associated with a given key. * *

The * map does not support {@code setValue()} on its entries, {@code put}, or {@code putAll}. * *

When passed a key that is present in the map, {@code asMap().get(Object)} has the same * behavior as {@link #get}, returning a live collection. When passed a key that is not present, * however, {@code asMap().get(Object)} returns {@code null} instead of an empty collection. * *

Note: The returned map's values are guaranteed to be of type {@link SortedSet}. To * obtain this map with the more specific generic type {@code Map>}, call {@link * Multimaps#asMap(SortedSetMultimap)} instead. However, the returned map itself is * not necessarily a {@link SortedMap}: A {@code SortedSetMultimap} must expose the values * for a given key in sorted order, but it need not expose the keys in sorted order. * Individual {@code SortedSetMultimap} implementations, like those built with {@link * MultimapBuilder#treeKeys()}, may make additional guarantees. */ @Override Map> asMap(); /** * Returns the comparator that orders the multimap values, with {@code null} indicating that * natural ordering is used. */ Comparator valueComparator(); }
