how to Continous loop collection without concurrentmodificationexception












-3















Please read the text carefully, the title isn't so good, but i couldn't think something easier to describe the problem.



This is a theorical problem, i will use java to demonstrate but the solution i need is more like a design pattern so it could be thougth for any language.




A program has 2 threads:

thread A - interacts with user, who can add or remove items to a set

thread B - continously iterate over a Set performing tasks over its items




How can i perform this scenario without having ConcurrentModificationException ?



final Set<String> set = new HashSet();

//A
new Thread(new Runnable(){
public void run(){
while(true){

//user adds or remove items to set

}
}
}).start();


new Thread(new Runnable(){
public void run(){
while(true){

for(String s : set){
//do stuff
}

}
}
}).start();


This is a very commum scenario there shall be a design pattern to handle it

You could use CopyOnWriteArraySet



For example



Set<Integer> threadSafeSet = new CopyOnWriteArraySet<>();



The above set can now be accessed from any thread without ConcurrentModificationExceptions. But its not realtime i.e the set can change and this wont be reflected in an ongoing iteration. This a drawback for the benefit of a thread safe iterator

    What's the point of iterating infinitely? Maybe it's enough to iterate over set when it has changed? Then you could use observer pattern.

    • thousands of reason for someone iterating infinetely, you can be playing musics in a loop (While user can add or remove songs), you can repeatdly do tasks, you can even repeatdly ping a client to check if still alive... the reasons to iterate in contineously over a list are infinite
