A micro-lib providing a threadsafe map which provides optimistic concurrency control.

There is a newer version: 1.2

package org.vvcephei.occ_map;

import sun.misc.Unsafe;

import java.lang.reflect.Field;

/**
 * Simple class to obtain access to the {@link Unsafe} object.  {@link Unsafe}
 * is required to allow efficient CAS operations on arrays.  Note that the
 * versions in {@link java.util.concurrent.atomic}, such as {@link
 * java.util.concurrent.atomic.AtomicLongArray}, require extra memory ordering
 * guarantees which are generally not needed in these algorithms and are also
 * expensive on most processors.
